    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
AAAAA. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a 
one-time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or 
operators 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. At a minimum, reports are required semiannually.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Lime manufacturing plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart AAAAA).
    Estimated number of respondents: 65 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 15,424 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,820,338 (per year), includes $311,610 in 
either annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
respondent and Agency burden from the most recently approved ICR due to 
an increase in the number of new or modified sources. This ICR assumes 
an industry growth rate of one respondent per year, which results in an 
average increase of three respondents since the last ICR renewal 
period. The burden increase also occurred due to a correction on burden 
calculation. In the previous ICR, the hours required for acquisition, 
installation, and utilization of technology and systems; reading 
instructions, and required activities were omitted.
    There is also an increase in capital and O&M costs. The previous 
ICR used annualized costs which underestimated the initial costs 
associated with a performance test. This ICR uses the actual costs 
associated with a Method 5 performance test.
