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 Dryers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR Part 60,
Subpart UUU) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 0746.07, OMB Control Number
2060-0251

1(b)  Short Characterization/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 and promulgated on September 28, 1992.  These standards apply
to new, modified and reconstructed Calciners and Dryers 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
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 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 this
standard.  There are additional processes and process units at mineral
processing plants listed at 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,
performance tests, and periodic reports.  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.  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).

Approximately 167 respondents are currently subject to the regulation,
and it is estimated that one additional respondent per year will become
subject to the regulation in the next three years.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the current
Information Collection Request (ICR) without any “Terms of
Clearance.”

            The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found in
Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU)
(Renewal), attached.  The burden to the “Federal Government” is
attributed entirely to work performed by federal employees or government
contractors; this burden may be found in Table 2: Average Annual EPA
Burden (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal), attached.

2.  Need for and Use of the Collection

2(a)  Need/Authority for the Collection

The EPA is charged under Section 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 system of continuous
emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of
achieving such emissions reduction, or any non-air quality health and
environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator
determines has been adequately 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.

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 monitoring 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 reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, particulate matter emissions from
calciners and dryers in mineral industries cause or contribute to air
pollution that may reasonably 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 regulations 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 capability 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 recorded
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 reviewing authority may then
inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices are
properly 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.

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
information is sent directly 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 copy 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 ICR
was published in the Federal Register (73 FR 31088) on May 30, 2008.  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 consultation with the preparer of the
active ICR and other resources to obtain the most recent data available.
 Information available from the United States Census Bureau, the Air
Facility System (AFS), and websites covering calciners and dryers in
mineral industries were previously reviewed.  EPA’s Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards, Information Transfer, the Program
Integration Division, Region 9, and Georgia Pacific Company were
previously consulted.

It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received
since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the
First Federal Register Notice.  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 to 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 frequently, the likelihood of
detecting poor operation and maintenance of control equipment and
noncompliance would decrease.

3(e)  General Guidelines

None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate any of the
regulations established 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 the Agency
policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B -
Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR
36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43
FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3(g)  Sensitive Questions

None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contain sensitive
questions.

4.  The Respondents and the Information Requested

4(a)  Respondents/SIC Codes

4(b)  Information Requested

None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate any of the
regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.

(i)  Data Items

All data in this ICR that are recorded and/or reported are required by
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 physical or operational change	

60.7(a)(4)

Notification of continuous monitoring system (CMS) demonstration	

60.7(a)(5)

Initial performance test results	

60.8(a)

Notification of initial performance test and repeat of test	

60.8(d)

Demonstration of continuous monitoring system (CMS)	

60.7(a)(5)

Reports

Semiannual reports	

60.7(c), and 60.735(c)

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)

Records are required to be retained for two years	

60.735(a)

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.

Also, regulatory agencies in cooperation with the respondents, continue
to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically.  However,
electronic reporting systems 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 systems for the purpose of collecting,
validating, and verifying information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of processing and maintaining information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of 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.

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 connection with the
acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required
information.

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, analyze, and maintain data in the Air Facility System (AFS).

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
properly installed and operated.

Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source’s
initial capability to comply 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 for problem identification, as a check on source operation and
maintenance, and for compliance determinations.

Information contained in the reports is entered into the AFS which is
operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance.  AFS is EPA’s
database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance
data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned
facilities.  EPA uses the AFS for tracking air pollution compliance and
enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices
and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store,
retrieve and analyze the data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the
owner/operator for two years.

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 consideration during the development of the
regulation.  The number of small entities affected by 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 Information for Proposed Standards (1985); and a search of
publicly available current data sources.  Based on the Background
Information document, most of the mineral dryer and calciner 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 that 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), attached.

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 ICR.  The individual burdens are expressed
under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept
of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act.  Where appropriate,
specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified.  Responses to
this information collection are mandatory.

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,
(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 any comments received.

6(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs

(i)  Estimating Labor Costs

This ICR uses the following labor rates:

Managerial	$97.46   ($46.41 + 110%)

Technical	$83.71   ($39.86 + 110%)

Clerical	$42.55   ($20.26 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, March 19, 2005, “Table 2: Civilian Workers, by
Occupational and Industry group.”  The rates are from Column 1,
“Total Compensation.”  The rates have been increased by 110 percent
to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by
private industry.

(ii)  Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs

The type of industry costs associated with 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 a
facility becomes subject 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 capital/startup costs for this ICR are $4,000.  This is the
total of column D in the above table.  The total operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $109,000 (rounded) the total of
column G.  The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and
maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is
estimated to be $113,000.

6(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis 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 $127,909.

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

Managerial	$56.02   (GS-13, Step 5, $35.01 x 1.6)

Technical	$41.57   (GS-12, Step 1, $25.98 x 1.6)

Clerical	$22.50   (GS-6, Step 3, $14.06 x 1.6)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2005
General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay.  Details upon
which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: NSPS for Calciners and
Dryers 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 next three years,
approximately 166 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. 
It is estimated that one additional respondents per year will become
subject.  The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the
table below is 167 per year.

The number of respondents is calculated using the following table which
addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

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, respectively,
and summarized below.

(i) Respondent Tally

The total annual labor costs are $561,485.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1. Annual Respondent Burden and Cost,
NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (CFR Part 60,
Subpart UUU) (Renewal), attached. Furthermore, the annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 20 hours per response.

The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity
are $113,000.  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  3,155 labor hours at a cost of $127,909.  See Table 2:
Annual Agency Burden and Cost, NSPS for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral
Industries (CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU) (Renewal), attached.

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

There is no change in the labor hours or cost to the respondents in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR.  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.  Secondly, the
growth rate for respondents is very low, negative, or non-existent. 
Therefore, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR reflect
the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. 
Apparent differences of less than 500 hours are attributable to
rounding; in previous years, hours were rounded to the nearest thousand;
this ICR presents more exact figures.

6(g)  Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 20 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.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, 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.

To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of
the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing
respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques,

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. 
There are 166 existing respondents with an addition of one new facility
per year over the next three years.

b  This ICR uses the following labor rates:  $97.46 per hour for
Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $83.71 per hour for
Technical labor, and $42.55

per hour for Clerical labor.  These rates are from the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 19, 2005,
“Table 2: Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group.” 
The rates are from column 1, “Total Compensation.”  The rates have
been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to
those employed by private industry.

c  We have assumed that one source 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 20 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 168. 
There are 167 existing respondents with an addition of one new facility
per year over the next three years.

b  This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6
benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead
expenses: $56.02 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $35.01 x 1.6), $41.57
for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $25.98 x 1.6) and $22.50 Clerical (GS-6,
Step 3, $14.06 x 1.6).  These rates are from the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) (2005 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.

e  We have assumed that it will take eight hours to review the
performance test results.

f  It will take eight hours to review semiannual report of exceedances.
