Abstract: The New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) for 

Calciners and Dryers in Mineral 

Industries (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

UUU) were proposed on April 23, 1986; 

promulgated on September 28, 1992; 

and amended on July 29, 1993. These 

regulations apply only to new calciners 

and dryers at mineral processing plants 

that either process or produce either any 

of the following minerals and their 

concentrates or any mixture of which 

the majority is any of the following 

minerals or a combination of these 

minerals: alumina, ball clay, bentonite, 

diatomite, feldspar, fire clay, fuller’s 

earth, gypsum, industrial sand, kaolin, 

lightweight aggregate, magnesium 

compounds, perlite, roofing granules, 

talc, titanium dioxide, and vermiculite. 

Particulate matter (PM) is the pollutant 

regulated under this subpart. Feed 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 these particular standards. 

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. New facilities include those 

that commenced construction, 

modification or reconstruction after the 

date of proposal. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 60, subpart UUU. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Mineral processing plants that use 

calciners and dryers. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

UUU). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

167 (total). 

Frequency of response: Semiannual. 

Total estimated burden: 6,630 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $990,000 (per 

year), includes $154,000 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in burden from the most recently 

approved ICR as currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved 

Burdens. This is due to two 

considerations. First, the regulations 

have not changed over the past three 

years and are not anticipated to change 

over the next three years. Second, the 

growth rate for this industry is very low 

or non-existent, so there is no 

significant change in the overall burden. 

There is an increase in capital and 

operation & maintenance costs due to an 

adjustment to increase from 2008 to

Product (DCAP) Panel Under the Board 

of Scientific Counselors (BOSC)— 

January 2025 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

advisory committee to the Office of 

Research and Development (ORD). 

Selected experts will review ORD’s draft 

documents detailing the development 

and implementation of the Database 

Calibrated Assessment Product (DCAP). 

The DCAP is a proposed new ORD 

human health assessment product that 

is intended to be applied to substances 

with existing, publicly accessible in vivo 

repeat-dose toxicity studies, but lacking 

expert-derived human health 

assessments from authoritative sources. 

DCAP is a methods-based approach to 

develop oral, non-cancer human health 

assessments that inform timely 

decisions by EPA and external 

stakeholders using a scalable and 

transparent process.
