    Title: NESHAP for Coke Oven Pushing Quenching and Battery Stacks
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1995.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0521.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2009.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coke Oven Pushing Quenching and Battery Stacks
(40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC) were promulgated on April 14, 2003.
    The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the
NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to
the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCCC.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or
operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of
an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system
is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 229
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Coke oven pushing quenching and
battery stacks.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 19.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, weekly, quarterly
and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 25,879.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,361,375: which is comprised of
$2,191,875 in labor costs, $169,500 in O&M costs, and no annualized
capital/startup costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the basis for labor
hours or cost to the respondents in this ICR compared to the previous
ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not
changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change
over the next three years; and

[[Page 32580]]

(2) the growth rate for respondents is very low, negative, or non-
existent. The previous approved ICR renewal indicated 30 annual
responses; after review of the previous supporting statement, it was
determined that the number of indicated responses was an error. The
total number of annual responses is 113. Additionally, there was a
calculation error in the previous estimation of labor hours. The slight
increase in burden is due to a correction in the total labor burden
from 25,208 to 25,879 per year.

    Dated: June 30, 2009.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
