SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing (Renewal) 1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection NESHAP for L ime Manufacturing (40 C FR part 63, s ubpart AAAAA ) (Renew al) 1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) , for the regulations published at regulatory citation were proposed on December 20, 2002, (67 FR 78045 ) , and promulgated on January 5, 2004 ( 69 FR 393) . These regulations apply to each existing and new lime manufacturing plant (LMP) that emits or has the potential to emit any single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year from all emission sources at the plant site . This subpart applies to each existing and new lime kilns and their associated coolers, and processed stone handling (PSH) operations sy stems located at a L MP that is a major source. A new lime kiln is a lime kiln, and its associated lime cooler for which construction or reconstruction began after December 20, 2002, and a new PSH operations sy stem is the equipment for which construction or reconstruction beg an after December 20, 2002

. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAA

. Ingeneral, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by

the owners/operators of th e affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction (SSM) in the operation of an affected facility , or any period during which the monitoring sy stem is inoperative. The se notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP . Semiannual summary reports are also required. To demonstrate continuous compliance, plants must conduct repeat performance tests every five years (sixth y ear after effective date)

. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurement s, mai ntenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the deleg ated state or local authority

. In the event that there is no such delegated authority , the reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Based on consultations with industry representatives during a previous I CR renewal , there is an average of three e ffected facilities at each plant site and each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).2

Ove r the next three years, an average of 6 2 r espondents per year will be subject to the standard , with one additional respondent per year becom ing subject to the regulation over the next three years. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the cur rently active In formation Collection Request (I CR) without any “Terms of Clearance. ” 2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection The EPA is charged under s ection 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish stan dards of performance for each category or subcategory

of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission red uction

. Inaddition, 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 monitoring eq uipment, 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 reco rds on control 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 reasonably

require.
Inthe Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from lime manufacturing cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably

be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgate d for this source category at 40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAA

. 2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which were 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 standar d

. 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 determine3

compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the standard 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 properly installed and operated and leaks are being detected and repaired and the standard is 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. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required un der (40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAA ). 3(a) Nonduplication If the subject standards have not been delegated, the info rmation is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or lo cal agency . I f a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy 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, no duplication exists. 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 ( 7 4 FR 3 2580 ) on July 8 , 200 9

. No comment s were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. 3(c) Consultations For this information collection, the previous I CR renewal was used to obtain burden estimates since this I CR renewal was process under the “ Expedited Approach” option pr ovided in May 1, 2008 guidance. Per this guidance, all data and assumptions from the previous I CR renewal were used as the basis for estimating the hourly and cost burdens asso c iated with this renewal. Inthe previous I CR, c onsultation with a government agency and industry

representative s was conducted to determine if there is any way for EPA to reduce the recordkeeping and reporting burden or improve the language in the standard to make it easier to comply

. The previous I CR used other resources to o btain the most recent data available which included reviewed information available from the United States Census Bureau, the AI RS4

Facility Subs ys tem (AFS), which is the primary source of information regarding the number of existing sources, and websites co vering lime manufacturing. Inthe previous I CR, w e also consulted with EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Information Transfer and Program Integration Division. 3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection Less frequent information collect ion 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 emissio n limitations are met. I f the information required by these standards was collected less frequently , the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations would be less likely

. 3(e) General Guidelines
T he se reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least fi ve y ears. This is consistent with the General Provision s as applied to the standards. E PA believes that the five ye ar records retention requirement is consistent with the Part 70 permit program and the five ye ar statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. T he retention of records for five years allow s EPA to establish the compliance history of a source , any

pattern of non - compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violat ors have violations extending beyond five ye ars. Inaddition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records

. 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 (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by

43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 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.5

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) R espondents/ NA IC S Codes The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are lime manufacturing facilities. The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SI C) codes for the respondents affected by

the standards, which corresponds to the North American Industry Classification Sy stem (NAI CS) codes, are listed below for source category descriptions. Standard (40 CFR p art 63, s ubpart AAAAA ) SIC Codes NAICS

In this I CR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required by NESHAP for Li me Manufacturing ( 40 CFR part 6 3 , subpart AAAAA ). A source must make the following reports:

Notification s Standard Citation by Sections Applicability 63.9(b), 63.7130(a) Anticipated startup 63.9(b)(4), 63.7130(a) Commencement of construction 63.9(b )(4), 63.7130(a) Actual startup 63.9(b)(4), 63.7130(a) In tention to construct/reconstruct 63.9(b)(4)

Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduc ed the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with the respondents, continue to create reporting sy stems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting sy stems are sti ll not widely

used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

(ii) Respondent Activities

Respondent Activities Read instructions.7 Respondent Activities In stall, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for opacity , or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for control device

. 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 b e 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. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently , sources are using automated monitoring equipment that provides parameter data. Although personnel at the sources still need to evaluate the data, this ty pe of monitoring equipment has significantly red uced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. 5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management 5(a) Agency Activities EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acqui sition, analy sis, storage, and distribut ion 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 emis sions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, analy

ze, and maintain data in the Air Facility Sy stem (AFS). 5(b) Collection Methodology and Management Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority cou ld inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by the Agency

to discern a source ’ s initial capability to comply8

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 for mation contained in the reports is entered into the AFS which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. AFS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses the AFS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by

local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices , and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve , and analy ze the data. The records required by

this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five ye ars. 5(c) Small Entity Flexibility
T he impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation

. Inthe final rulemaking notice, EPA prepared a regulatory flexibility analy sis (FRFA) which examined the impact of the final rule on small entities (See 69 FR 411 , January

5, 2004 ). EPA identified 19 of the 45 companies owning potentially affected facilities as small businesses

. Eight of these 45 companies manufacture beet sugar (which will not be subject to the final NESHAP), three of which are small firms

. Further, an additional 3 of the 19 small companies will not be subject to the final NESHAP because they do not manufacture lime in a kiln (e.g., they are only depot or hydration facilities), and/ or we do not expect them to be major sources

. Itis, therefore, expected that 13 of the 34 companies subject to the final NESHAP will be small busine sses , representing 38 percent of the affected companies

. This percentage was applied to the total number of lime manufacturing plants affected by this regulation

. Inthe 2004 final rulemaking notice and supporting I CR , EPA estimated 56 plants were affect ed by

the regulation for the 3

- ye ar I CR period including calendar years 2004, 2005 and 2006

. Further, the 2007 I CR renewal indicated that EPA expected 1 new plant per year to become subject to the rule

. For this 3

- ye ar I CR period, which includes calendar ye ars 2010, 2011, and 2012 it is estimated that there will be an average of 6 2 lime manufacturing plants, and EPA estimates that 2 4 of these 6 2 plants are owned by small entities. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and th e ty pes of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements 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 thi s request is shown in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden for NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing (40 CFR part9

63, subpart AAAAA). 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 appropr iate, specific task s and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The Agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person i s not required to respond to, a co llection of information unless it display s a c urrently valid OMB Control Number. 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 14 , 723 hours ( Total L abor Hours from Table 1). T he recordkeeping hours shown in Table 1 are 1 3,222 . The reporting requirement hours shown in Table 1 are 1,50 1

. These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously

approved I CR, and any

comments received. 6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $114.77 ($54.65 + 110%) Technical $97.59 ($46.47 + 110%) Clerical $48.26 ($22.98 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2009, “ Table 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

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

costs associated with the information collect ion activities in the subject standard 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

. It is assumed that for each kiln control device, a bag leak detector will be installed. The one

- time capital cost for a bag leak detector is estimated to be $10,000.10

The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the bag leak d etection monitors , costs to hire third party contractors to conduct Method 5 testing, and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

Performance Test for Existing Material Handling $0 1 $ 0 $1,250 12.2 $ 15 ,250

The total capital/startup costs for this I CR are $ 10 , 000

. This is the total o f column D in the above table. The capital cost associated with the bag leak detector was annualiz ed assuming a 7 percent interest rate and 10

- ye ar life (i.e., capital recovery factor [CRF] of 0. 1 4 34 ). To calculate annualized costs, the C RF was multiplied by the capital cost of the detector , or $ 1,434 per respondent. The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this I CR are $ 3 , 93 4 per existing respondent and $6,434 per new respondent and total $ 35 , 500 per year for all respondents

. This is the total of column G

. These costs include annualized costs for hiring a third party contractor to conduc t Method 5 performance tests and the annual O&M co st s for the bag leak detector

. The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the I CR is estimated to be $ 12 4 , 4 08

. This is the ave rage11

annual cost for the 3

- ye ar I CR that includes annual O&M costs and annualized capital costs as discussed above. These are recordkeeping costs. 6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with analy s is of the reported information

. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distrib ution of col lected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the I CR is estimated to be $ 55,861

. This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows: Managerial $61.36 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $38.35 + 60%) Technical $45.52 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $28.45 + 60%) Clerical $24.64 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $15.40 + 60%) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 200 9 General Schedule , which excludes locality

rates of pay

. The rates have been increased b y 60% to account for the benefit packages available to government employees . Details upon which this estim ate is based appear in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden

– NESHAP for L ime Manufacturing (40 CFR part 6 3 , subpart AAAAA ), below

. 6(d) Estimating t he Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs Based on our research for this I CR, on average over the next three years, approximately 6 1 existing respondents and 1 new respondent will be subject to the standard. Inthe final rulemaking in 2004, EPA i dentified 56 lime manufacturing plants that were subject to the final rule in the three year period covering calendar years 2004, 2005, and 2006

. The previous I CR renewal estimated that one additional respondent per year will become subject and thus the o verall average number of respondents for calendar years 2010, 2011 , and 2012 is 6 2 per year , as shown in the table below. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered by

this I CR.

The total annual labor costs are $ 1, 384,616

. Details regarding these esti mates may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, NESHAP for L ime Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAA), below. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entities are $ 124 , 408

. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs. The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 1,2 58 labor hours at a cost of $ 55,861. See Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost , NESHAP for Li me Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart AA AAA), below. 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 in Tables 1 and 2, respe ctively , and summarized below. (i) Respondent Tally The total annual labor costs are $ 1,384,616. Details regarding these es timates may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, NESHAP for L ime Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAA), below. Furthermore, the annual public reporting an d recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 70 (rounded) hours per response

. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $ 124 , 408

. 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 next three years is estimated to be 1,2 58 labor hours at a cost of $ 55,861 . See Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost, NE SHAP for Li me Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAA), below

. 6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden The increase in burden hours and number of responses from the most recently approved IC R is d ue to an increase in the number of respondents. This I CR based the number of respondents on the number of lime manufacturing plants identified during the rulemaking and accounted for the one additional respondent per year since the rule became final. The previous IC R had identified the number of respondents as the number of companies with plants subject to the rule, but each plant should be co nsidered a separate respondent and this correction is reflected in this I CR. An increase in burden per response also occurred due to an incorrect calculation of the number of responses in the previous I CR.14

The decrease in capital and annual O&M costs reflects a change made to account for the fact that initial performance testing for Method 5 has been completed for existing sources, and the only units subject to initial testing is estimated to be one respondent per year . The existing 61 respondents are only

subject to repeat performance testing every five years, o r 12.2 respondents per year . The capital and O&M costs also changed to include the costs for bag leak detect ion monitors to be consistent with the costs presented in the 2004 IC R associated with the final rulemaking notice for 40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAA

. 6(g) Burden Statement The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of info rmation is estimated to average 70 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 ne eded to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the e xisting way s to comply 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 dis close the information. An agency

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