1 **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 Dry ers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR P art 60, S ubpart UUU) (Renewal) , EPA I CR Number 0746.08 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0251 **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Calciners and Dry ers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) were proposed on April 23, 1986 and promulgated on September 28, 1992. These standards appl y to new, modified and reconstructed C alciners and D ryers at mineral processing plants that either process or produce any of the following minerals and their concentrates or any mixture of which the majority is an y of the following minerals or a combination of these minerals: alumina, ball clay , bentonite, diatom ite, 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 is the pollutant regulated under this s ubpart. F eed and product conveyors are not considered part of the 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 section 60.730(b) which are not subject to the provisions of this subpart. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart UUU. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, perfor mance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of an y startup, shutdown, or 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. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part will 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 directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facility

at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).2

Approximately

16 7 respondents are currently subject to the regulation, and it is estimated that no additional respondents will become subject to the regulation in the next three y ears. This information was confirmed with the rule lead addressing this source category of the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS). In the United States, there are approximately 167 calciners and dryers in mineral facilities, which are owned and operated b y the cal ciners and dryers industry (the “Affected Public”). None of the facilities in the United States are owned b y state, local, tribal, or the Federal government; all are privatel y owned for

- profit businesses. The burden to the “Affected Public” is listed in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Calciners and Dry ers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal). The Federal government burden associated with the review of reports submitted by the respondent is shown in Table 2: Av erage Annual EPA Burden

– NSPS for Calciners and Dry ers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal). In the development of the Information Collection Request (I CR), we addressed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) “Terms of Clearan ce (TOC)” on the active I CR. The TOC are as follows: This collection of information is approved for 3 years. Before

resubmission of this I CR, the Agency should update wage estimates, continuing to refer most recently available date from Bureau of Lab or Statistics. In addition, the agency should verify the number of respondent entities. EPA has addressed each item of concern in the TOC. The respondent burden, universe, labor rates, and capital cost have been thoroughl y checked, and all estimates up dated.
**2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection**  The EPA is charged under s ection 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 an y non - air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrato r 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 every four years.3

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 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 reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, particulate matter emissions from calciners and dryers in mineral industries cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonabl y be anticipated to endanger public health 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 regulati ons 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 ca pability 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 recorde d and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. 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 revie wing authority may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated, that leaks are being detected and repaired, and that the standards 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 Collection Criteria**  The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart UUU.4

**3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the in formation is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency . If a state 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, 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 6 FR 26900 ) on May 9 , 20 11 . No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** For this information collection, we referenced the most recent ICR , which had been updated based on consultatio n with the preparer of the active ICR and other resources to obtain the most recent data available. Information was available from the United States Census Bureau and the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTIS) which is operated and maintained by the EP A Office of Compliance. Otis is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts, the EPA Office of Air Quali ty Planning and Standards, Refining and Chemicals Group. Industry trade associations and other parties were provided an opportunit y to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed. In developing this I CR, we reviewed inf

ormation available from the United States Census Bureau, and websites covering the industry . We also consulted with the EPA Office of Air Qualit y Planning and Standards, In formation Transfer, Program Integration Division ; the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association, (703)526

- 1065 ; the Van Horn Metz, LLC , (610) 828

- 4500; and Perry Videx, LLC, 609

- 267

- 1600. After a thorough review , i t is our policy to respond to comments received since the last ICR renewal , as well as to thos e submitted in response to the first Federal Register n otice . In this case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection** Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing t o 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 likelihood of detecting poor operation and maintenance of control5

equipment and noncompliance would decrease. **3(e) General Guidelines** None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate an y of the regulations est ablished by

OMB at 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 th e Agency policies set forth in t itle 40, chapter 1, part 2, s ubpart B

– Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976, amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 197; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions** None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contain sensitive questions. **4.

established by

OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. **(i) Data Items** All data in this I CR that are recorded and/or reported are required b y NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal). A source must make the following reports:

**Notifications Standard Citation**  **by Section** 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) 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)

Semiannual reports 60.7(c), 60.735(c) 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 At the present, respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must evaluate the data, this internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at the plant site.7

Also, regulatory

agenc ies in c ooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting 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) Respondent 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, instal l, 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 automated monitoring equipment that provides parameter data. Although personnel at the sources 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** EPA conducts the following activities in c onnection with the acquisition, analy sis, storage, and distribution of the required information.8 **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 O nline Tracking Information Sy stem (OTI S). **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might 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 co mpl y with the emission standard and the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used fo r problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations. The Agency ’s experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal 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 standards is the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S) which is o perated and maintained by the EPA Office of C ompliance. OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts. The records required b y this regulation must be retained b y 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 cons ideration during the development of the regulation. The number of small entities affected b y this rule could not be determined, based on review of the following sources: 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 format ion for Proposed Standards (1985 ); and a search of publicl y available current data sources. Based on the Background Information document, most of the mineral dryer and c alciner industries do include small businesses. 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 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 that9

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 in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden for 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 unde r the Paperwork Reduction Act, where appropri ate specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandato ry
. The 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. **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 6, 434 (Total Labor Hours from Table 1). 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 an y comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $ 119.36 ($ 56.84 + 110%) Technical $99.18 ($47.23 + 110%) Clerical $49.35 ($23.50 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2011, “ Table 2 : Civilian Workers, by O ccupational and Industry group. ” The rates are from C olumn 1, “ Total C ompensation. ” The rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed b y private industry

.

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

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

- time costs when a10

facility becomes subje ct to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitors and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this I CR are $10 8,550 the total of column G. The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years o f the IC R is estimated to be $10 8 , 55 0

. **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 maintained 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 $ 1 38,476

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

- 13, St ep 5, $38

. 92 x 1.6) Technical $ 46.21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 28. 88 x 1.6) Clerical $ 25.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $ 15.63 x 1.6) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “ 20 11 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 in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden

- NSPS for Calciners and Dry ers in Mineral Industries (CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal), attached. **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on previous research, on average over the nex t three years, approximately 16711

existing respondents will be subject to the standard. Itis estimated that no additional respondents per ye ar will become subject to the standard. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below is 167 per y ear. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table which addresses the three ye ars covered b y this I CR. **Number of Respondents**

. **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, respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor costs are $ 6 15,860

. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1. Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (CFR P art 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 annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $ 108,550. 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 3, 073 labor hours at a cost of $ 1 38,476. See Table 2 : Annual Agency 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 adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden ho urs as c urrently identified in the OMB Inventory

of Approved Burdens. The change was due to the fact that there are no new respondents. There is, however, an increase in the estimated labor cost. The increase is not due to an y program changes. The chan ge in burden is due to the use of the most updated labor rates. There is a change in the capital/startup costs vs. operation and maintenance (O&M) cost s, which could be attributed to the fact that no capital/ startup costs are incurred because there are no new sources. The only cost that is incurred is for the O&M of the monitoring equipment. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 19 hours per response. Bur den 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 providing13

information; adjust the existing way s to compl y with any previously

applicable instr

uctions 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. An agency

may not conduct or sponso r, 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.

**Assumptions:**
a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule over the three

- year period of this ICR will be 167. It is estimated that no additional respondent s will become subject to the regulation in the next three years. b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $ 119.36 per hour for Executive Ad ministrative /Managerial labor ; $ 99.18 per hour ; f or Technical labor ; and $ 49.35 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 20 11 , “Table 2: Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total Compensation.” The r ates h ave been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

c We have assumed that source s will read instructions as part of their reporting requirements. d We have assumed that it will take 330 hours to complete a performance test.

e We have assumed that 20 percent of new respondents will have to conduct a CMS demonstration. f We have assumed that 20 percent of new respondents will take two hours to conduct a scrubber demonstration. g We have assumed that 80 percent of new respondents will conduct a reference Method 9 test. h It will take respondents 18 hours to conduct a reference Method 9 test. i It will take 4 hours to re

- calibrate either the COM or the scrubber. j We have assumed that 2 0 percent of new respondents will re

- calibrate the scrubber. k We have assumed that one respondents will notify the Agency regarding a physical or operational change. l We have assumed that it will take 16 hours for each respondent to complete the semiannual report of exceedances.

m It will take each respondent 1.5 hours to record SSM information.

**Assumptions:**
a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule over the three

- year period of this ICR will be 16 7 . There are 167 existing respondents with no addition facility per year over the next three years. b This cost is base d on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $62.27 for Managerial (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 38.92 x 1.6), $4 6.21 for Technical (GS

- 12, Step 1, $2 8.88 x 1.6) and $2 5.01 Clerical (GS

- 6, Step 3, $1 5.63 x 1.6). These rates are from the Offic e of Personnel Management (OPM) 2011 General Schedule @ which excludes locality rates of pay.
c We have assumed that one respondents will submit a notification of physical or operational change. d We have assumed that it will take four hours to review the CMS demonstration report.
