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 proposed on July 3, 2001 (66 FR 35325); promulgated on April 14, 2003 (68 FR 18007); and most-recently amended on August 2, 2005 (70 FR 44285). These regulations apply to pushing, soaking, quenching, and battery stacks on both existing and new coke oven batteries (coke plants) that are major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCCC.
Form Numbers: None.
[top] Respondents/affected entities: Coke manufacturing facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCCC).
Estimated number of respondents: 14 (total).
Frequency of response: Quarterly and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 23,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,950,000 (per year), which includes $125,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources. There is an adjustment decrease in labor hours from the most-recently approved ICR. This decrease reflects revisions to the number of existing respondents that are anticipated to reconstruct or close batteries subject to this standard. This decrease is not due to any program changes. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup and/or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
