    Title: NESHAP for Portland Cement (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1801.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0416.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2010. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
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 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
LLL. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or 
operators 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 period during which the monitoring system 
is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 69.56 
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; 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; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; 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 disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Portland cement plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 94.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and 
annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 28,242.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $4,975,387, which includes $2,656,095 
in labor costs, $1,439,200 in annual capital/startup costs, and 
$880,092 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden hours and dollars 
from the most recently approved ICR renewal (EPA ICR number 1801.07) is 
due to a 2006 program change in the regulation requiring additional 
performance testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting 
requirements. These amendments would affect any new, modified, or 
reconstructed sources after December 2, 2005.
    There was a decrease in number of responses currently identified in 
the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is due to the 
correction of transpose error in the currently approved burden 
estimates in ICRAS. Further, the number of responses also decreased due 
to a decrease in the number of estimated portland cement plants 
affected by ICR since the last renewal.
    The increase in capital/start-up and O&M costs is also due to a 
2006 program change in the regulation requiring new monitoring 
equipment. The THC monitors are a new requirement for new sources since 
the last ICR renewal. Further, the change in labor costs for industry 
and EPA is due to the use of more current labor rates.

    Dated: February 23, 2010.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
