    Title: NESHAP for Portland Cement (Renewal).
    Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of portland cement 
manufacturing plants. The rule applies to each new, existing or 
reconstructed kiln, in-line kiln/raw mill and greenfield raw material 
dryer at these facilities, except for kilns and in-line kiln/raw mills 
that burn hazardous waste. In addition, the rule applies to each new, 
existing or reconstructed clinker cooler; raw mill; finish mill; raw 
material, clinker or finished product storage bin; conveying system 
transfer point; bagging system and bulk loading and unloading system at 
facilities that are major sources; and to each existing, reconstructed 
or new brownfield raw material dryer at facilities that are major 
sources.
    Respondents shall submit notifications (where applicable) and 
reports of initial and repeat performance test results. Plants must 
develop and implement a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan and 
submit semiannual reports of any event where the plan was not followed. 
Plants must develop and implement an operations and maintenance plan 
and conduct and report the results of an annual combustion system 
inspection. Semiannual reports for periods of operation during which 
the monitoring parameters are exceeded (or reports certifying that no 
exceedances have occurred) also are required.
    Subpart LLL requires respondents to install (where feasible) 
continuous opacity monitors and temperature monitoring systems on kilns 
and in-line kiln raw mills, and total hydrocarbon (THC) continuous 
emission monitors (CEMs) on new greenfield kilns, in-line kiln/raw 
mills and raw material dryers. Owners and operators are also subject to 
a deferred requirement to install particulate matter (PM) CEMS.
    General requirements applicable to all National Emission Standards 
for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) require records of applicability 
determinations; test results; exceedances; periods of startups, 
shutdowns, or malfunctions; monitoring records; and all other 
information needed to determine compliance with the applicable 
standard. Records and reports must be retained for a total of 5 years 
(2 years at the site; the remaining 3 years of records may be retained 
off site). The files may be maintained on microfilm, on computer or 
floppy disks, on magnetic tape disks, or on microfiche. 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 
EPA regional office. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart LLL as authorized in sections 
112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists 
of emissions data and other information

[[Page 65897]]

that have been determined not to be private.
    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, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 42 
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; to 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; to 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements; to train personnel to be able to respond 
to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Portland cement manufacturing 
facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 107.
    Frequency of Response: Initial, Semiannually, On Occasion, 
Initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 17,526 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $2,205,272, which includes $0 
annualized capital/startup costs, $791,800 annual O&M costs, and 
$1,413,472 annual labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 35,655 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a correction to the 
tables, which did not properly account for all reporting requirements 
incurred by existing facilities.

    Dated: October 24, 2005.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
