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.
Courtney Kerwin,
Director, Regulatory Support Division.
