Title:
NSPS
for
Calciners
and
Dryers
in
Mineral
Industries
(
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
UUU)
(
Renewal).

Abstract:
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
calciners
and
dryers
in
mineral
industries,
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
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.

Owners
or
operators
of
the
affected
facilities
must
make
one­
time­
only
reports
including
notification
of
startup,
initial
performance
test,
notification
of
any
physical
or
operational
change
4
to
an
existing
facility,
and
notification
of
the
demonstration
of
the
continuous
monitoring
system
(
CMS).
Owners
or
operators
are
also
required
to
maintain
records
of
the
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
startup,
shut
down,
or
malfunction,
or
any
period
during
which
the
monitoring
system
is
inoperative.
Performance
tests
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
records
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
emissions
standards
and
note
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
Semiannual
reports
of
excess
emissions
are
also
required.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
must
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
two
years
following
the
collection
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
EPA
regional
office.

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,
and
are
identified
on
the
form
and/
or
instrument,
if
applicable.

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,
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
5
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:
Owner
or
operator
of
each
calciner
and
dryer
at
a
mineral
processing
plant
Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
167
Frequency
of
Response:
Semiannual,
initially
and
on
occasion
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
6,955
hours.

Estimated
Total
Annual
Costs:
$
674,035,
which
includes
$
108,550
annualized
capital/
startup
costs,
$
4,000
annual
O&
M
costs,
and
$
561,485
annual
labor
costs.

Changes
in
the
Estimates:
The
increase
in
the
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
the
fact
that
there
is
an
increase
of
one
source
per
year.
In
addition,
we
are
presently
accounting
for
management
and
clerical
person
hours
per
year,
which
was
not
shown
in
the
previous
ICR,
and
we
have
updated
the
salary
table.

There
is
however,
a
decline
in
the
annualized
cost.
The
reason
for
the
decline
is
because
there
is
only
one
new
source
in
the
renewal
ICR
instead
of
two
as
in
the
previous
ICR.
