    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Lime 
Manufacturing (40 CFR part 60, subpart HH) apply to each existing and 
new rotary lime kiln used in the manufacturing of lime. These standards 
do not apply to facilities used in the manufacture of lime at kraft 
pulp mills. New facilities include those that commenced construction, 
modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, 
all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, 
and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected 
facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart HH.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Lime manufacturing plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart HH).
    Estimated number of respondents: 41 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,820 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $463,000 (per year), which includes $61,500 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
respondent labor hours and costs as currently identified in the OMB 
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program 
changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred due to a 
change in assumption. This ICR assumes all existing respondents will 
have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
