In accordance
with 5CFR1320.13, OMB does not approve these information collection
requirements at this time. EPA has not adequately justified the
need for these requirements, and hasn't demonstrated their practic
utility. Before this ICR is re-submitted for OMB approval, EPA
should address the following questions: 1. Can EPA learn more about
CO trips by studying 1 or 2 kilns instead of requiring additional
reporting from all plants subject to the standard? If not, why not?
2. Why won't less expensive and more reliable alternatives to
continuous opacity monitors suffice to prove that ESPs are being
operated continuously and properly? How much additional pollution
reduction is CEM expected to produce, and at what cost? 3. Why are
daily opacity measurements necesary for baghouses? Doesn't the
sudden increase in emissions make it obvious when a bag tears?
Would visual inspection not using Method 9 be adequate? 4. Could
EPA impose the reporting requirements on only those sources that
have a history of compliance difficulties (perhaps established by
complaints)? Please use OMB comment number 2060-0025 in any
correspondence on ICR.
