Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry (40
CFR part 63, subpart LLL) were proposed on March 24, 1998; promulgated
on June 14, 1999; and most-recently amended on July 25, 2018, with a
correction issued August 3, 2018. These regulations apply to existing
facilities and new facilities that are either a major or area source,
including each: kiln including alkali bypasses and inline coal mills;
clinker cooler; raw mill; finish mill; raw material dryer; or open
clinker storage pile. These regulations apply to each new and existing
categories: raw material, clinker or finished product storage bin;
conveying system transfer point including those associated with coal
preparation used to convey coal from the mill to the kiln; and bagging
and bulk loading and unloading system piles located at any portland
cement manufacturing plant that is a major source. These regulations do
not apply to cement kilns that burn hazardous waste and are subject to
40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE, or to cement kilns that burn nonhazardous
solid waste and are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR part 60,
subpart CCCC or 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD. New facilities include
those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of
proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with
40 CFR part 63, subpart LLL.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. 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 essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
Form Numbers: Form 5900-610.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of portland
cement manufacturing facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart LLL).
Estimated number of respondents: 91 (total).
Frequency of response: Annually, semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 27,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $14,100,000 (per year), which includes
$10,800,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The adjustment increase in burden from
the most-recently approved ICR is due to more accurate estimates of
existing and anticipated new sources. More accurate estimates were
gathered using the GHG reporting database. The GHG reporting database
estimates are also very similar to the portland cement manufacturing
2018 RTR, thus these estimates most accurately represent the industry
landscape. Additionally, capital and operation and maintenance costs
have increased due to the increase in sources from the most recently
approved ICR.
