Source Performance Standards for

Portland Cement Plants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this document announces

that the following Information

Collection Request (ICR) has been

forwarded to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and

approval: New Source Performance

Standards for Portland Cement Plants,

OMB Control No. 2060–0025, expiration

date 8/31/98. The ICR describes the

nature of the information collection and

its expected burden and cost; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data

collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before July 31, 1998.

a copy of the ICR, call Sandy Farmer at

EPA, by phone at (202) 260–2740, by EMail at Farmer.Sandy@epamail.epa.gov

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: New Source Performance

Standards for Portland Cement Plants,

OMB Control No. 2060–0025; EPA ICR

No. 1051.07; expiring 8/31/98. This is a

request for the extension of a currently

approved collection.

Abstract: Entities potentially affected

by this action are portland cement

plants with the following facilities:

kilns, clinker coolers, raw mill systems,

raw mill dryers, raw material storage,

clinker storage, finished product

storage, conveyor transfer points,

bagging and bulk loading and unloading

systems. The Administrator has judged

that PM emissions from portland

cement plants cause or contribute to air

pollution that may reasonably be

anticipated to endanger public health or

welfare. Owners/operators of portland

cement plants must notify EPA of

construction, modification, startups,

shut downs, date and results of initial

performance test and excess emissions.

In order to ensure compliance with the

standards promulgated to protect public

health, adequate reporting and

recordkeeping is necessary. In the

absence of such information

enforcement personnel would be unable

to determine whether the standards are

being met on a continuous basis, as

required by the Clean Air Act. 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. The

Federal Register document required

under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting

comments on this collection of

information was published on 3/5/98.

No comments were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 279 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; 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:

Owners/Operators of Portland Cement

Plants.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

113.

Frequency of Response: Initial and

semiannual.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

7,968 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: $941,720.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the
