Abstract: The ICRs are specific to information collection associated with the Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing source category, through the new 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKa and amendments to 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPPP. We are proposing changes to the testing, recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPPP, in the form of requiring performance tests every 5 years and including the requirement for electronic submittal of reports. In addition, the number of facilities subject to the standards changed. The number of respondents was revised from 41 to 45 for the NESHAP based on our review of operating permits and consultation with industry representatives and state/local agencies. We are proposing recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with the new 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKa, including notifications of construction/reconstruction, initial startup, conduct of performance tests, and physical or operational changes; reports of opacity results, performance test results and semiannual reports if excess emissions occur or continuous emissions monitoring systems are used; and keeping records of performance test results and pressure drop monitoring.
