Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) covers the information collection requirements for area sources at primary copper smelting, secondary copper smelting, and primary zinc production (part of the primary nonferrous source category). Information collection requirements for polyvinyl chloride and primary beryllium production area source categories are included in other ICR previously approved by OMB. Potential respondents include three existing primary copper smelter and two existing primary zinc production facilities; there are no existing secondary copper smelters. The emissions control and compliance provisions for existing primary copper smelting and primary zinc production area sources are the same as the current Title V permit requirements. The owner or operator would also be required to submit initial notifications according to requirements in the General Provisions (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A). The owner or operator of a new area source would be required to comply with all requirements of the General Provisions. No burden estimates are provided for new primary copper smelters, secondary copper smelters, or primary zinc production area sources because no new facilities are expected during the next 3 years.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: In this ICR we have accounted for all of the five sources as compared to the previous ICR. There are no new sources and are not anticipated to change over the next three year; the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, thus, there is no significant change in the overall number of sources. A change in the cost burden was because of an increase in the hourly labor rates.
