**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NSPS for**  **Nonmetallic Mineral Processing (40 CFR,**  **Part 60,**  **Subpart OOO**  **) ( Renewal** **) 1.**  **Identification of the Information Collection**
**1 (a) Title**  **and Number of the Information Collection**  NSPS for N onmetallic M ineral P rocessing ( 40 CFR Part 60, S ubpart OOO) (Renewal), EPA I CR Number 1084.1 2 , OMB C ontrol Number 2060

- 0050.
**1 (b) Short Characterization**  The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing ( 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO ) were proposed on August 31, 1983, promulgated on August 1, 1985 , and most recentl y am ended on April 28, 2009 . These regulations apply to the following affected facilities in fixed or portable nonmetallic mineral processing plants: each crusher, grinding mill, screening operation, bucket elevator, belt conveyor, bagging operation, storage bin, and enclosed truck or railcar loading station, which commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after August 31, 1983. Also, crushers and grinding mills at hot mix asphalt facilities that reduce the size of nonmetallic minerals embedded in recycled asphalt pavement and subsequent affected facilities up to, but not including, the first storage silo or bin are subject to the provisions of the subpart. The provisions of subpart OOO do not apply to the following operations: facilities located in underground mines; wet material processing operations; and plants without crushers or grinding mills. An affected facility that is subject to the prov isions of either subparts F or I , or that follows in the process any facility subject to the provisions of subparts F or I of this part , is not subject to the provisions of this part. In addition, the following plants are not subject to subpart OOO : fixe d sand and gravel plants and crushed stone plants with capacities of 23 megagrams per hour (25 tons per hour) or less; portable sand and gravel plants and crushed stone plants with capacities of 136 megagrams per hour (150 tons per hour) or less; common cl ay plants and pumice plants with capacities of 9 megagrams per hour (10 tons per hour) or less. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, perfo rmance 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, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility , or any peri od 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 or operator subject to the provisions of thi s 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 s tate or local authority

.2

In the event that there is no such delegated authority , the reports are sent directl y to the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) region al office

. Over the next three ye ars, an average of 4, 697 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the standard, and 66.4 additional respondents per year will become subject to the standard

. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currentl y active Information Collection Request (I CR) without any “Terms of Clearance.” The respondents to this ICR (the “Affected Public) are publicl y owned and operated b y fixed or portable nonmetallic mineral processing plants . None of the facilities are owned b y either state, local and tribal agencies or the Federal government. The burden to respondents is calculated below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

− NSPS fo r Nonmetallic Mineral Processing ( 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO ) (Renewal)

. The burden to the “Federal Government” burden is attributed entirely to work performed by

Federal employees or government contractor s . Th is burden is calculated below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

− NSPS fo r Nonmetallic Mineral Processing ( 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO ) (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 s tationary sources that reflect:

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

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

owner or 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 monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locati ons, 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) sub mit 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, particulate emissions from n onmetallic m ineral p rocessi ng plants (NMPP ) cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably

be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO.
**2 (b)**  **Practical Utility /Users of**  **the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standards ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where 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 standards. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standards at all times. The notifications required in the standards 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 and the standard s are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual compliance status reports are used to determine periods o f excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations. **3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO. **3 (a) Non** 
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA region al office . Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency . If a s tate or local agency has adopted their own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the s tate or local agency can b e sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, no duplication exists.4

**3 (b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB**  An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register (76 FR 26900) on May 9, 2011. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3 (c) Consultations**  The Agency

has consulted industry

experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source of information as reported by industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard is the Online Tracking Information Sy stem ( OTIS ) , which is operated and maintained b y EPA’s Office of Compliance. OTI S is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data.
In dustry 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 ; 2) the Industrial Minerals Association

- North America (IMA

-NA) , at (240) 457

- 0200 ; and 3) the Georgia Mining Association (GMA) , at (478) 757

- 1211

. 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. **3 (d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection**  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 maintenance 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 less likel y. **3 (e) General Guidelines** 
These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by

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, Septemb er 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).5

**3 (g) Sensitive Questions** 
The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested**

**4 (b)**  **Information Requested (i)**  **Data Items**
In this ICR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required by NSPS for Nonmetal lic Mineral Processing (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO). A source must make the following reports:
**Notifications** Notification of actual startup

. 60.7(a)(3) , 60.676(i) Phy sical or operational change. 60.7(a)(4) Notification of initial performance test

. 60.8(d) , 60.672

**Reports** Initial performance test results. 60.8(a), 60.676(f) Repeat performance test results. 60.8(a), 60.11, 60.675
A source must keep the following records: **Recordkeeping** Startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring sy stem is inoperative. 60.7(b) Records are required to be retained for two (2) years and kept onsite

. 60.7(f)

Records o f ongoing monitoring

. 60.7(f) , 60.674 (b), 60.674(c) Records of replacement activities 60.670(d), 60.6767

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 the respondents, continue to create reporting s ys tems to transmit data electronicall y. However, electronic reporting s ys tems are not widely used. At this time, it is esti mated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**

.

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Perform initial performance test using appropriate Reference Method, 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 s ys tems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Adjust the existing way s to comply with any 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 equipment that provides 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 significantl y reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping.8

**5. T**  **he Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management** 
**5 (a) Agency Activities**  EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analy sis, 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 initial 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 retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses OTI S for tracking air pollution complianc e and enforcement b y local and s tate regulatory agencies, EPA region al office s and EPA headquarter s. 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 or operator for two ye ars. **5 (c) Small Entity Flexibility**  The majority

of respondents are estimated to be small entities. The impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation by

exempting wet material processing operations, simplifying certain notification requirements, and selecting relativel y low

- cost repeat testing and monitoring provisions. In addition, certain plants operating at small capacities were exempted from subpart OOO due to economic considerations when the standards were originall y developed. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the ty pes of control equipment employed,9

the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency

considers these requirements the minimum needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities

. **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 Nonmetal lic Mineral Processing (40 CFR Part 60, S ubpart OOO) (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. Wh erever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The Agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless i t displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. **6 (a) Estimating Respondent Burden**  The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these record

keeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 12,374 (Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NSPS program, the previously

approved ICR, and any

comments received. **6 (b) Estimat** **ing Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $121.42 ($57.82 + 110%) Technical $99.14 ($47.21 + 110%) Clerical $49.81 ($23.27 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2011, “Table 2: Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total Compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages avail able to those employed b y private industry

.10

**(ii) Estimating Capital** **/Startup and Operation**  **s and Maintenance**  **Costs** The ty pe of industry

costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standards 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

- t ime costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maint ain the monitors and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

- minute Method 9 tests was used. It wa s assumed there are 22 emission points for each plant in the crushed/broken stone and sand/gravel sectors and 9 emission points for each plant in other sectors. b Grow th in each of the NMPP sectors was estimated using model plants and recent (e.g., 2005 /2006) production data available from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and model plant parameters used in development of the original promulgated NSPS. I t is estimated that, of the 66.4 new respondents per year , 60.9 will be in the crushed/broken stone and sand/gravel sectors and 5.5 will be in other sectors

. c These are annualized costs for all new respondents. The capital cost associated with testing was annualized assuming a 7 percent interest rate and 5

- year life (i.e., capital re covery factor [CRF] of 0.2439). The annualized capital cost for file cabinets was calculated using a 7 percent interest rate and a 15

- year life (i.e., CRF of 0.1098). The total cost for performance testing is $626,767 per year, and the total capital cost for filing cabinets wa s estimated at $15,604. Over the 3

- year period, performance test costs are $1.0 million and $872,000 for Method 5 and Method 9 respectively. The total capital/startup costs for this I CR are $ 154 , 577 per year (rounded). This is the total of column D in the above table. The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this I CR are zero. 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 $ 154 , 577 . These are capital/startup costs. **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 e xami nation of records maintained by the respondents , periodic inspection of sources of emissions , and the publication and distribution of collected information

.11

The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 1,1 62,379

. Th is cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $62.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $38.92 + 60%) Technical $46.21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $28.88 + 60%) Clerical $25.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $15.63 + 60%) These rates are from the Office of Personne l Management (OPM) “2011 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 below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

− NSPS fo r Nonmetallic Mineral Processing ( 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO ) (Renewal). **6 (d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs**  Based on our research for this IC R, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 4, 630 .4 existing respondents will be subject to the standard

. It is estimated that an additional 66.4 respondents per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 4,697 (rounded)

. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR. **Number of Respondents**

- year NSPS review period. Thus, it is estimated that an additional 66.4 NMPP per year will become subject to the regulation over the three year ICR period (332/5 = 66.4). Column D is subtracted to avoid double

- counting respondents. As shown above, the average Number of Respondents over the three ye ar period of this ICR is 4, 697

. The total number of annual responses per ye ar is calculated using the following table:12 **Total Annual Responses** (A) Information Collection Activity (B) Number of Respondents (C)

The total annual labor costs are $ 1, 185,697 . Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost − NSPS for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO) (Renewal)

. **6 (e) Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours**  **and Cost Tables**  The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown below in Tables 1 and 2 , respectively , and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 12,374 . Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost − NSPS for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2 hours per response. The total annual ized capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $ 154 , 577

. The 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 the next three years is estimated to be 25, 793 labor hours at a cost of $1, 1 62 , 379 . See below Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost − NSPS for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO ) (Renewal).13

**6 (f) Reasons for Change in Burden**  There is an increase in the labor hours for both the respondents and the Agency in this ICR compared to the previous I CR. This is due to two considerations. First, p erformance testing for existing sources will begin 5 years after the initial performance testing following the 2009 ICR amendments , which corresponds to the third year of this renewal . Beginning in the third ye ar of this ICR renewal, 60.9 sources would conduct 5

- ye ar repeat fugitive Method 9 performance tests. These tests are onl y required for crushed/broken stone and sand/gravel facilities that do not have water spray s. This yields an annual averag e of 20.3 sources requiring Method 9 performance tests over the next 3 years. Secondly , there is an increase in the total number of respondents subject to the rule due to a growth in the respondent universe.
There is also an increase in the total labor and Agency costs as currentl y identified in the OMB Inventory

of Approved Burdens. The change in cost estimates reflects the changes in respondent numbers (described above) and updated labors rates available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. **6 (g)**  **Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2 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 needed 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 existing way s to compl y with any previously

applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; se arch data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose 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’ s regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

**Assu mptions:** 
a We have assumed that there are an average of 4,697 sources per year will be subject to the standard, and an additional 66.4 new sources that will become subject to the rule over the next three years. We have estimated that there are approximately 332 NMPP, which will become subject over a 5

- ye ar period, the number of new sources per year equals (332/=66.4) for the additional new sources. b This ICR uses the following labor rates : $ 121.42 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $ 99.14 per hour for Technical labor, and $ 49.81 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2011, “T able 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total Compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c Monitoring for wet suppression involves checking that water is actually flowing. This is es timated to take 10 minutes per check and to occur on a monthly basis. Wet suppression is expected to be used in the following sectors: crushed/broken stone, and sand/gravel . The number of new sources per year from these sectors over the next three years is expected to be 60. 9. d We have assumed that it will take each respondent 1 hour four times per year to complete Method 22 readings. All industry sectors except for crushed/broken stone and sand/ gravel are expected to use baghouses and will em ploy ba ghouse Method 22 readings to comply with the periodic monitoring requirements. The number of new sources per year from these sectors over the next three ye ars is expected to be 5. 5.
e Performance tests include 8 hours to develop and review a performance test report and 22 hours to plan for the performance te sts. The time required to conduct Method 5 and Method 9 tests are included in capital costs because a contractor i s typically hired to perform the tests. f We have a ssume d that 25% of initial performance tests must be repeat ed due to failure. g We have assumed that p erformance testing for existing sources will not occur until 5 years after the initial performance te sting, which is the 6th year of the ICR (i.e. the third year of this renewal)

. Beginning in the third year of this ICR renewal , 6 0.9 sources per year would conduct 5

- year repeat fugitive Method 9 performance tests. These tests are only required for crushed/broken stone and sand/gravel facilities that do not have water sprays. h We a ssume the average number of affected facilities over the next three years is represented by the number of sources in year 2 ( 66 .4 new in first and second years and 4, 564 existing sources in the first year) for a total of 4,697

**Assu mptions:** 
a We have assumed that there are an average of 4,697 sources per year will be subject to the standard, and an additional 66.4 new sources that will become subject to the rule over the next three years. We have estimated that there are approximately 332 NMPP, which will become subject over a 5

- year period, the number of new sources per year equals (332/=66.4) for the additional new sources. b This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government o verhead expenses: $62.27 for Managerial (GS

- 13, Step 5, $38.92 x 1.6), $46.21 for Technical (GS
