Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
the
regulations
published
at
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
HH
were
proposed
on
May
3,
1977,
and
promulgated
on
April
26,
1984.
These
regulations
apply
to
the
following
facilities
in
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
HH:
each
rotary
lime
kiln
used
in
lime
manufacturing,
which
commenced
construction,
modification
or
reconstruction
after
May
3,
1977.
The
standards
do
not
apply
to
facilities
used
in
the
manufacture
of
lime
at
kraft
pulp
mills.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
HH.

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
sources
subject
to
NSPS.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
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.

Approximately
51
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
regulation,
and
it
is
estimated
that
one
additional
source
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.

The
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
requested
that
EPA
address
the
following
"
Terms
of
Clearance"
in
the
re­
submission
of
this
ICR
for
extension:

This
ICR
is
approved
for
three
years.
This
ICR
assumes
that
no
new
sources
will
report
to
EPA
during
the
next
three
years.
Before
re­
submission
of
this
ICR
for
extension,
the
agency
should
revisit
the
estimate
for
the
number
of
new
lime
manufacturing
plants
and
demonstrate
to
OMB
that
the
estimates
are
consistent
with
agency
experience.
Further,
the
agency
should
revise
wage
estimates
to
reflect
guidance
provided
by
EPA
and/
or
OMB.

Section
111(

The
Agency
refers
to
this
charge
as
selecting
the
best

(
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
or
operator
subject
to
any
requirement
of
this
Act
to:

(
A)
Establish

reduced

in
a
December

Federal

Notice.
The
red
reporting
frequency
was
in
response
to
OMB's
previous
questions
regarding
the
nee
quarterly
versus
semiannual
reporting.
The
information
generated
by
monitoring,

recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
that
facilities
affected
by
the
NSPS
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
and
achieve
compliance
with
the
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
necessa
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
The
information
collected
from
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
requested
recordkeeping
and
reporting
are
required
under
40
CFR
Part
60,

Subpart
HH.

3(
a)
Nonduplication
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
their
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.

Small
Entity
Flexibility
A
majority
of
the
affected
facilities
are
large
entities
(
e.
g.,
large
businesses).
However,
the
impact
on
small
entities
(
i.
e.,
small
businesses)
was
taken
into
consideration
during
the
development
of
the
regulation.
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.

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
increase
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
adjustment.

increase
in
burden
from
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
primarily
due
to
an
increase
in
number
of
existing
sources
as
a
result
of
more
accurate
estimates
of
existing
and
anticipated
sources.
In
addition,
a
revised
technical
labor
rate
resulted
in
an
increase
in
the
respondent
cost
burden
from
the
previous
ICR.
