**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NSPS for**  **Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR Part**  **60 , Subpart**  **UUU )**  **(Renewal) 1. Identification of the Information Collection**  **1(a) Title of the Information Collection** NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR Part 60 , Subpart UUU ) (Renewal), EPA I CR Number 0746.09 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0251

. **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Sour ce Performance Standards (NSPS) for Calciners and Drye rs in Mineral Industries were proposed on April 23, 1 986 , and promulgated on September 28, 1992 . These regulations appl y only to new calciners and dryers at mineral processing plants that either process o r produce either any of the following minerals and their concentrates or any mixture of which the majority

is any of the following minerals or a combination of these minerals: alumina, ball clay , bentonite, diatomite, feldspar, fire clay , fuller’s earth, gy psum, industrial sand, kaolin, lightweight aggregate, magnesium compounds, perlite, roofing granules, talc, titanium dioxide, and vermiculite. Particulate matter (PM) is the pollutant regulated under this subpart. Feed and product conveyors are not considered part of th e affected facility . Facilities subject to NSPS Subpart LL, Metallic Mineral Processing Plants are not subject to this standard. There are additional processes and process units at mineral processing plants listed at S ection 60.730(b) which are not subje ct to the provisions of this subpart

. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU

. In gene ral, all NSPS standards require initial notification report s, performance tests, and periodic reports by

the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, o r malfunction in the operation of an affected facility , or any period during which the monitoring sy stem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS

. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least two years following the date 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 directl y to the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facilities at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).2

Over the next three ye ars, an aver age of 167 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the se standard s , and no additional respondents per year will become subject to the se standard s . The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) approved the currentl y active I CR without any “ Terms of Clearance ”

. In the United States, there are approximately 167 calciners and dryers in mineral facilities, which are owned and operated b y the calciners and dryers industry (the “Affected Public”). None of the facilities in the United States are owned b y either state, local, tribal, or the Federal government; all are privatel y owned , for

- profit businesses. The burden to the Affected Public may

be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industrie s (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal)

. T he Federal Government “burden ” is attributed entirely to work performed by either F ederal employees or government contractor s and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Calc iners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal).
**2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection**  The EPA is charged under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect:

**. . .** application of the best technological sy stem of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non - air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrat or determines has been adequatel y demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l). The Agency

refers to this charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology (BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards e very four years. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

owner/operator subject to any

requirement of this Act to: (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such moni toring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control3 equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, PM emissions from calciners and dryers in the mineral industries either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably

be anticipated to endanger public health and/ or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which w ere promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the se standard s are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated , that leaks are being detected and repaired , and that the standard are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations. **3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Coll**  **ection Criteria 3(a) Non** 
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency . If a s tate or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist. **3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB**4

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register ( 79 FR 30117 ) on May 27, 2014

. No comments were receive d on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** The Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three years have been considered. The primary source of information as reported b y industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S) which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. OTIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all complianc e data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts. Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed. In developing this I CR, we contacted : 1) the National Stone, Sand, and Gravel Association (NSSGA) , at (703) 525

- 8788 ; and 2) Van Horn, Metz & Co. Inc ., at ( 610 ) 828

- 45 00. It is our policy

to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. Inthis case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Colle ction**  Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maint enance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations would be les s likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines**
T hese reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.
**3(f) Confidentiality** Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20,5

1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions**
T he reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes**  The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are mineral processing plants with calciners and dryers . The United States Standard Industrial Clas sification ( SI C ) code s and the corresponding North American Industry Classification S ys tem (NAICS) codes for the respondents affected by the standards are given in the table below:

**4(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items** 
In this ICR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required by the NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal).6

A source must make the following reports:

**Notification s**  Notification of construction/reconstruction 60.7(a)(1) Notification of actual startup 60.7(a)(3) Notification of ph ys ical or operational change 60.7(a)(4) Initial performance test results 60.8(a) Notification of initial performance test and repeat of test 60.8(d) Demonstration of continuous monitoring sy stem (CMS) 60.7(a)(5)
**Reports** Semiannual reports 60.7(c), 60.735(c) A source must keep the following records: **Recordkeeping** Maintain records of startup, shutdown, malfunction period where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative 60.7(b)
Record opacity

using continuous opacity monitors (COM) 60.734(a) Observe and record Method 9 opacities 60.734(b) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a device that continuously measures and records the pressure loss of the gas stream through the scrubber 60.734(d)
Daily recording of the two

- hours average of the change in the pressure of the gas stream across the scrubber and flow rates of the scrubbing liquid 60.735(b) Electronic Reporting Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with th e respondents continue to create reporting7

sy stems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respon dent Activities** 

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for opacity , or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for wet scrubber. Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 9 test, and repeat performance tests if necessary
. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and sy stems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Adjust the existing way s to comply with an y previously applicable instructions and requirements. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem. Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management**  **5(a) Agency Activities**8

EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information. **Agency Activities** Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTI S). **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source ’ s init ial capability to compl y with the emission standard. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. OT IS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retriev al of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses the OTI S for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement b y local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for two ye ars.
**5(c) Small Entity Flexibility** A majority

of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. B ased on review of the following sources , the number of small entities affected b y this rule could not be determined: the promulgated rule notice in the Federal Register (57 FR 44496) on Monday , September 28, 1992; the Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries Background In formation for Proposed S tandards (1985); and a search of publicl yavailable current data sources. Based on the Background Information document, most of the mineral dryer and calciner industries do include small businesses.9

Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the types of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both the small and large entities. The Agency considers these requirements the minimum needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. **5(d) Collection Schedule** The specific frequency

for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal). **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirement s is estimated to be 6,436 hours ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1). T hese hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agenc y knowledge and experience with the NSPS program, the previously

approved ICR, and any comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $1 2 8

. 0 2 ($ 60.98 + 110%) Technical $ 10 1

. 05 ($4 8

. 12 + 110%) Clerical $ 5 1

. 37 ($2 4

. 46 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2014 , “ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from column 1, “ Total compensation. ” The rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

.10 **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs**
T he ty pe of industry

costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard s are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this I CR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one

- time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor and other costs such as photocopying and postage

. This is the total of column G. The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the IC R is estimated to be $ 108,550

. These are th e costs of recordkeeping. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maint ained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 181,186

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 6 2. 90 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 9.31 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 67 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 2 9

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 78 + 60% )11

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) , 20 1 4 General Schedule , which excludes locality

rates of pay

. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear b elow in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal). **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this I CR, on ave rage over the next three ye ars, approximately 167 existing respondents will be subject to the se standard s . It is estimated that no additional respondents per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 167 per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR : **Number of Respondents**

– NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal)

. **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below , respectively , and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 6,43 6

. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 19 hours per response

. The total annu al capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $108,550

. The13

cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs. **(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 3,07 5 labor hours at a cost of $ 181,186 . See below Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is an increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden and cost estimates occurred as a result of correctl y appl yi ng an assumption that was previousl y misinterpreted. Footnote ‘k’ in Table 1 states that we have assumed one respondent will notify

the Agency

regarding a phy sical or operatio n change. In the previous ICR, the burden associated with writing the “notification of phy sical or operation change” was calculated with zero respondents, instead of one respondent. Making the correction from zero to one respondent result s in a minor inc rease in the labor and cost burden estimates. In addition, the use of more updated labor rates also results in an increase in the estimated cost. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of informa tion is estimated to average 19 hours per response. “ Burden ” means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time nee ded to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the ex isting way s to compl y with any previously

applicable instructions and requirements; 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 disc lose the information. An agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
