    Title: NSPS for Lime Manufacturing (Renewal).

    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1167.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0063.

    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2009. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Lime Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart HH) were proposed on May 3, 1977, promulgated on April 26, 1984, and amended on October 17, 2000. The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart HH.

    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.

    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 46 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

    Respondents/Affected Entities: Lime production facilities.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 41.

    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.

    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,773.

    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $366,056: which includes $304,556 in Labor costs, $61,500 in O&M costs, and no annualized capital/startup costs.

    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. Apparent differences of less than $500 are attributable to rounding; in previous years, O&M costs were rounded to the nearest thousand; this ICR presents more exact figures.
