Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Lime Manufacturing were proposed on December 20, 2002, promulgated on January 5, 2004, and amended on April 20, 2006. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new major source facilities that emit or have the potential to emit any single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) at a rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year from all emission sources at the plant site. This Subpart covers lime kilns, their associated coolers, and processed stone handling (PSH) operation systems located at a lime manufacturing plant that is a major source. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart AAAAA. 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. Currently, the NESHAP also requires owners/operators to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction (SSM) in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. However, the EPA is proposing amendments to the rule that would eliminate the SSM exemption, remove the SSM plan and SSM recordkeeping requirements, and require electronic submittal of performance test results.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: This ICR is prepared for amendments to the NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAA). These amendments would: (1) revise provisions in the NESHAP to remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan; and (2) require electronic submittal of performance test results. There is an adjustment decrease in the overall respondent burden and cost due to a decrease in the estimated number of sources subject to these regulations and the proposed removal of the SSM requirements. The decrease in sources is supported by the CAA Section 114 sent to this industry in January of 2017. There is also an adjustment increase in burden and cost per respondent due to new work practice standards for periods of startup and shutdown, specifically the addition of temperature monitoring for ESPs.
