SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NSPS for Lime Manufacturing 
(EPA ICR Number 1167.13, OMB Control Number 2060-0063), to the Office

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Lime 
Manufacturing (40 CFR part 60, subpart HH) apply to existing and new 
rotary lime kilns used in the manufacturing of lime. Owners and 
operators of affected facilities are required to submit initial 
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are used by EPA 
to determine compliance with the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Lime production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart HH).
    Estimated number of respondents: 41 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,820 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $514,000 (per year), which includes $61,500 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This 
situation is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not 
changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change 
over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for this industry is 
very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the 
overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory 
requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there are 
also no changes in the capital/startup or operation and maintenance 
(O&M) costs.
