    Title: NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing (Renewal).
    Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2072.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0544.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2007. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of

[[Page 74521]]

information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. 
The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, 
after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 
CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register 
or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection 
instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers 
in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: These standards apply to owners or operators of each 
existing and new lime manufacturing plant (LMP) that emits or has the 
potential to emit any single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) at a rate of 
9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP at 
a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year from all emission 
sources at the plant site. This subpart applies to each existing and 
new lime kilns and their associated coolers, and processed stone 
handling operations systems located at a LMP that is a major source. 
Owners or operators of such facilities must provide EPA, or the 
delegated state regulatory authority, with 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 (SSM) in the operation of an affected 
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative. The responses to this information collection are mandatory 
under Clean Air Act section 112 and 40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAA.
    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 are estimated to average 
approximately 99 hour 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; search data sources; complete 
and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Lime Manufacturing.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 44.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 10,212.
    Estimated Total Costs: $1,040,590, which includes $3,330 annualized 
Capital Start Up Costs, $170,624 annualized Operations & Maintenance (O 
& M) costs, and $866,636 annualized labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 2,446 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. The increase in burden is due to the fact that 
initial compliance has been achieved and the initial costs to comply 
are different from the costs to comply continuously with the standard.
    This increase is not due to any program change. Within the past 
three years, the respondents completed those activities required to 
achieve initial compliance. Such activities are more burdensome than 
the burden associated with the rule requirements for continuing 
compliance as addressed by this ICR.
