ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 
3507(a)(1)(D), this notice announces that the Information Collection 
Request (ICR) for Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources--
Lime Manufacturing Plants--NSPS Subpart HH) described below has been 
forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
comment. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and 
its expected burden and cost; where appropriate, it includes the actual 
data collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 2, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Standards of Performance for Lime Manufacturing Plants (OMB 
Control No. 2060-0063; EPA ICR No. 1167.05). This is a request for 
extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The Administrator has judged that PM emissions from lime 
manufacturing plants cause or contribute to air pollution that may 
reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Owners/
operators of lime manufacturing plants must notify EPA of construction, 
modification, startups, shut downs, date and results of initial 
performance test and excess emissions. The only type of industry costs 
associated with the information collection activity in the standards 
are labor costs.
    In order to ensure compliance with the standards promulgated to 
protect public health, adequate reporting and recordkeeping is 
necessary. In the absence of such information enforcement personnel 
would be unable to determine whether the standards are being met on a 
continuous basis, as required by the Clean Air Act.
    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. The 
Federal Register Notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting 
comments on this collection of information was published on March 26, 
1996.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 44.2 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
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 applicable instructions and requirements; 
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information;
