The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at
40 CFR part 63, subpart LLL were proposed on March 24, 1998,
promulgated on June 14, 1999, and subsequently revised on December
20, 2006. These regulations apply to the following facilities: each
new, existing or reconstructed kiln, in-line kiln/raw mill and
greenfield raw material dryer at these facilities, except for kilns
and in-line kiln/raw mills that burn hazardous waste and are
subject to 40 CFR 63, subpart EEE or that burn municipal solid
waste and are subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb or Ea. In
addition, the rule applies to each new, existing or reconstructed
clinker cooler; raw mill; finish mill; raw material, clinker or
finished product storage bin; conveying system transfer point;
bagging system and bulk loading and unloading system at facilities
that are major sources; and to each existing, reconstructed or new
brownfield raw material dryer at facilities that are major sources.
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 63, subpart LLL.
The increase in burden hours
and dollars from the most recently approved ICR renewal (EPA ICR
number 1801.05) is due to a 2006 program change in the regulation
requiring additional performance testing, monitoring,
recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. These amendments would
affect any new, modified, or reconstructed sources after December
2, 2005. There was a decrease in number of responses currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease
is due to the correction of transpose error in the currently
approved burden estimates in ICRAS. Further, the number of
responses also decreased due to a decrease in the number of
estimated portland cement plants affected by ICR since the last
renewal. The increase in capital/start-up and O&M costs is also
due to a 2006 program change in the regulation requiring new
monitoring equipment. The THC monitors are a new requirement for
new sources since the last ICR renewal. Further, the change in
labor costs for industry and EPA is due to the use of more current
labor rates.
