Title: NESHAP for Portland Cement (Renewal).
Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of portland cement
manufacturing plants. The rule applies to each new, existing or
reconstructed kiln, in-line kiln/raw mill and greenfield raw material
dryer at these facilities, except for kilns and in-line kiln/raw mills
that burn hazardous waste. In addition, the rule applies to each new,
existing or reconstructed clinker cooler; raw mill; finish mill; raw
material, clinker or finished product storage bin; conveying system
transfer point; bagging system and bulk loading and unloading system at
facilities that are major sources; and to each existing, reconstructed
or new brownfield raw material dryer at facilities that are major
sources.
Respondents shall submit notifications (where applicable) and
reports of initial and repeat performance test results. Plants must
develop and implement a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan and
submit semiannual reports of any event where the plan was not followed.
Plants must develop and implement an operations and maintenance plan
and conduct and report the results of an annual combustion system
inspection. Semiannual reports for periods of operation during which
the monitoring parameters are exceeded (or reports certifying that no
exceedances have occurred) also are required.
Subpart LLL requires respondents to install (where feasible)
continuous opacity monitors and temperature monitoring systems on kilns
and in-line kiln raw mills, and total hydrocarbon (THC) continuous
emission monitors (CEMs) on new greenfield kilns, in-line kiln/raw
mills and raw material dryers. Owners and operators are also subject to
a deferred requirement to install particulate matter (PM) CEMS.
General requirements applicable to all National Emission Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) require records of applicability
determinations; test results; exceedances; periods of startups,
shutdowns, or malfunctions; monitoring records; and all other
information needed to determine compliance with the applicable
standard. Records and reports must be retained for a total of 5 years
(2 years at the site; the remaining 3 years of records may be retained
off site). The files may be maintained on microfilm, on computer or
floppy disks, on magnetic tape disks, or on microfiche. All reports are
sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there
is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the
EPA regional office. This information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart LLL as authorized in sections
112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists
of emissions data and other information
[[Page 65897]]
that have been determined not to be private.
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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 42
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; to 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; to
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; to train personnel to be able to respond
to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Portland cement manufacturing
facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 107.
Frequency of Response: Initial, Semiannually, On Occasion,
Initially.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 17,526 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $2,205,272, which includes $0
annualized capital/startup costs, $791,800 annual O&M costs, and
$1,413,472 annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 35,655 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a correction to the
tables, which did not properly account for all reporting requirements
incurred by existing facilities.
Dated: October 24, 2005.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
