Title: NSPS for Lime Manufacturing (Renewal).
Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for lime
manufacturing plants were proposed on May 3, 1977, and promulgated on
April 26, 1984. These standards apply to each rotary lime kiln used in
the manufacture of lime, which commenced construction or modification
after May 3, 1977. This subpart does not apply to facilities used in
the manufacture of lime at kraft pulp mills.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make one-time-
only reports including notification of startup, initial performance
test, notification of any physical or operational change, and
notification of the demonstration of the continuous monitoring system
(CMS). Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction, or
any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative.
Semiannual reports of excess emissions are also required.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part must
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least
two years following the collection of such measurements, maintenance
reports, and records. 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.
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 46
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: Owner or operator of each lime
manufacturing plant.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 41.
Frequency of Response: Semi-annually, initially and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hours Burden: 3,773 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $366,056, which includes $0
annualized capital/startup costs, $61,500 annual O&M costs, and
$304,556 annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease of 661 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a change in the number of
respondents. After a thorough analysis involving industry, and by using
the most updated reports (dated December 2004) from the U.S. Department
of the Interior and the U.S. Geological Survey, we arrived at forty-one
as the number of sources as compared to fifty-three in the previous
ICR.
There is a decline in the reporting and recordkeeping burden cost.
The reason for the decline is because there are no new sources expected
over the next three years and the adjustment to the number of existing
sources as compared to the previous ICR.
Dated: February 12, 2006.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
