Upon
resubmission, the agency must update the burden estimates to
accurately reflect the number of respondents and include burden
estimates for State reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
Ensure that burden is calculated for all of the requirements and
ensure that the requirements and burden tables are consistent. The
agency must provide screen shots of the mode of collection, ICIS,
that is used for this information collection. In addition, the
agency must have a burden statement that aligns with the
requirements under 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3) and placement of the OMB
control number for on-line submissions on the initial screen per 5
CFR 1320.3(f)(2).

The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Portland Cement Manufacturing
Industry apply to affected facilities at each new and existing
portland cement manufacturing plant that is either a major or area
source, including each: kiln including alkali bypasses and inline
coal mills; clinker cooler; raw mill; finish mill; raw material
dryer; or open clinker storage pile. These regulations apply to
each new and existing categories: raw material, clinker or finished
product storage bin; conveying system transfer point including
those associated with coal preparation used to convey coal from the
mill to the kiln; and bagging and bulk loading and unloading system
piles located at any portland cement manufacturing plant that is a
major source. These regulations do not apply to cement kilns that
burn hazardous waste and are subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart
EEE, or to cement kilns that burn nonhazardous solid waste and are
subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC or 40
CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD. This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLL. In general, all
NESHAP 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, and are
required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
There is an adjustment decrease
in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. The adjustment decrease in burden
from the most recently-approved ICR is due to a decrease in the
number of sources subject to requirement of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart
LLL. The EPA determined that many of the cement kilns previously
thought subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLL are already subject
to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE, 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC, or 40
CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD and would not fall under the
applicability of this subpart. The decrease in the number of
respondents also results in a decrease in the number of responses
and operation and maintenance costs. Additionally, Table 1 was
revised and reformatted to properly reflect the performance testing
requirements for new and existing facilities as stated in Subpart
LLL.
