Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the
General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as for the
specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart F. This includes
submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic
reports and results, and maintaining 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 reports are
[[Page 35084]]
used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Portland cement plants.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart F).
Estimated number of respondents: 92 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 14,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,390,000 (per year), which includes
$744,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The
decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to a
decrease in the number of affected existing facilities, as identified
by a review of Portland cement facilities reporting in EPA's ECHO and
GHGRP databases. This change also results in a decrease in operation
and maintenance costs. This ICR maintains an assumption that there will
be no new respondents over the next three years, but two existing
plants will undergo modification or reconstruction. Therefore, the
capital costs have not changed from the previous ICR.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
