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; 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:
Emissions sources from primary lead
smelters (i.e., sinter machine, blast
furnace, dross furnace, process fugitive,
and fugitive dust sources).
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2.
Frequency of Response: Initial,
annual, semiannual and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
12,190 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$1,003,083, which includes $0
annualized capital/startup costs,
$19,000 annual O&M costs, and
$984,083 annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 83 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease in labor burden
to industry from the most recently
approved ICR is due to the assumptions
that both existing respondents have
complied with the initial requirements
of the rule and that there will be no new
growth in this industry sector.
The total annualized capital and
operations and maintenance costs
decreased from $36,000 to $19,000 due
to a lack of capital/startup costs
associated with new sources purchasing
continuous emission monitoring
equipment. The operation and
maintenance costs for the monitoring
equipment at existing sources are
anticipated to continue over the next
three years.
Although there was an increase in the
labor rates for both industry and the
Federal government, it did not offset the
reduction in labor burden associated
due to the assumptions stated above.

Title: NSPS for Calciners and Dryers
in Mineral Industries (40 CFR part 60,
subpart UUU) (Renewal).
Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
calciners and dryers in mineral
E:\FR\FM\01NON1.SGM

65894
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 210 / Tuesday, November 1, 2005 / Notices
industries, were proposed on April 23,
1986, and promulgated on September
28, 1992. These standards apply to new,
modified and reconstructed calciners
and dryers at mineral processing plants
that process or produce any of the
following minerals and their
concentrates or any mixture of which
the majority is any of the following
minerals or a combination of these
minerals: alumina, ball clay, bentonite,
diatomite, feldspar, fire clay, fuller’s
earth, gypsum, industrial sand, kaolin,
lightweight aggregate, magnesium
compounds, perlite, roofing granules,
talc, titanium dioxide, and vermiculite.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must make one-time-only
reports including notification of startup,
initial performance test, notification of
any physical or operational change to an
existing facility, and notification of the
demonstration of the continuous
monitoring system (CMS). Owners or
operators are also required to maintain
records of the occurrence and duration
of any startup, shut down, or
malfunction, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. Performance tests are
needed as these are the Agency’s
records of a source’s initial capability to
comply with emissions standards and
note the operating conditions under
which compliance was achieved.
Semiannual reports of excess emissions
are also required.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part must maintain a
file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least two years following
the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All
reports are sent to the delegated state or
local authority. In the event that there
is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office.
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 are listed
in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter
15, and are identified on the form and/
or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 20 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
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; 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: Owner
or operator of each calciner and dryer at
a mineral processing plant.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
167.
Frequency of Response: Semiannual,
initially and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
6,955 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$674,035, which includes $108,550
annualized capital/startup costs, $4,000
annual O&M costs, and $561,485 annual
labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase in the burden from the most
recently approved ICR is due to the fact
that there is an increase of one source
per year. In addition, we are presently
accounting for management and clerical
person hours per year, which was not
shown in the previous ICR, and we have
updated the salary table.
There is however, a decline in the
annualized cost. The reason for the
decline is because there is only one new
source in the renewal ICR instead of two
as in the previous ICR.

Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make one-time-

or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the
