The potential respondents are owners
or operators of any existing, new, or reconstructed portland cement
manufacturing plant. Specifically, these regulations apply to the
following affected sources at each new and existing portland cement
plant that is a major or area source: each kiln, in-line kiln/raw
mill and 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. In addition, the rule applies to
each new and existing clinker cooler; raw mill; finish mill; raw
material, clinker or finished product storage bin; conveying system
transfer point; and bagging system and bulk loading and unloading
system at facilities that are major or area sources. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
part 63, subpart LLL. The proposed amendments would correct and
clarify various rule requirements and provisions. The proposed
amendments would affect the regulation of fugitive emissions from
open clinker piles, requirements for determining compliance with PM
emissions standards, monitoring organic hazardous air pollutant
(HAP) compliance demonstration, applicability of standards to coal
mills, requirements for monitoring hydrochloric acid (HCl) when
controlled using dry scrubbers, use of SO2 CEMS for monitoring HCl
compliance for scrubber-equipped kilns, the equations used to
calculate the PM limits, and the affirmative defense for
malfunctions. The EPA also granted reconsideration of specific
issues relating to startup, shutdown and malfunction standards and
is proposing a change to monitoring requirements for startup,
shutdown and malfunction standards. In addition, EPA is proposing
corrections to the rule's testing and monitoring section to correct
equations for calculating rolling 30 operating day emissions rates,
definitions or procedures that included extraneous wording,
incorrect units in equations, cross references and typographical
errors in the rule, and editorial revisions in the testing and
monitoring requirements to make them easier to read and
understand.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
