Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Lime Manufacturing (40 CR Part 63, Subpart AAAAA) 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 facilities that either emit or has the potential to emit any single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) 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. The EPA proposed revised standards to the NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing on September 16, 2019 (84 FR 48708), however, the proposed amendments have not been finalized; therefore, the burden reflected in this ICR does not consider burden from the proposed amendments, but is based on the existing standards. 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.

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred due to several factors. First, as part of a recent inventory of facilities subject to the NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing by OAQPS, including consultations with industry representatives and industry trade associations, EPA has concluded that the number of sources subject to the regulation has decreased. Second, the recent inventory revealed an increase in the number of sources using bag leak detectors to comply with regulations, leading to an increase in O&M costs. The overall result is a decrease in burden hours and costs.
