    Title: NSPS for Lime Manufacturing (Renewal).
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for lime 
manufacturing plants were proposed on May 3, 1977, and promulgated on 
April 26, 1984. These standards apply to each rotary lime kiln used in 
the manufacture of lime, which commenced construction or modification 
after May 3, 1977. This subpart does not apply to facilities used in 
the manufacture of lime at kraft pulp mills.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make one-time-
only reports including notification of startup, initial performance 
test, notification of any physical or operational change, and 
notification of the demonstration of the continuous monitoring system 
(CMS). Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the 
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction, or 
any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. 
Semiannual reports of excess emissions are also required.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part must 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
two years following the collection of such measurements, maintenance 
reports, and records. 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.
    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 46 
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: Owner or operator of each lime 
manufacturing plant.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 41.
    Frequency of Response: Semi-annually, initially and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hours Burden: 3,773 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $366,056, which includes $0 
annualized capital/startup costs, $61,500 annual O&M costs, and 
$304,556 annual labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease of 661 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a change in the number of 
respondents. After a thorough analysis involving industry, and by using 
the most updated reports (dated December 2004) from the U.S. Department 
of the Interior and the U.S. Geological Survey, we arrived at forty-one 
as the number of sources as compared to fifty-three in the previous 
ICR.
    There is a decline in the reporting and recordkeeping burden cost. 
The reason for the decline is because there are no new sources expected 
over the next three years and the adjustment to the number of existing 
sources as compared to the previous ICR.

    Dated: February 12, 2006.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
