Title: NSPS for Lime Manufacturing
(Renewal).
Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for lime
manufacturing plants were proposed on
May 3, 1977, and promulgated on April
26, 1984. These standards apply to each
rotary lime kiln used in the manufacture
of lime, which commenced construction
or modification after May 3, 1977. This
subpart does not apply to facilities used
in the manufacture of lime at kraft pulp
mills.
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, 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, shutdown, or
malfunction, or any period during
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. 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 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; to
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; to adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; to train personnel to be
able to respond to a collection of
information; to search data sources; to
complete and review the collection of
information; and to transmit or
otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owner
or operator of each lime manufacturing
plant.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
41.
Frequency of Response: Semiannually, initially and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hours
Burden: 3,773 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$366,056, which includes $0 annualized
capital/startup costs, $61,500 annual
O&M costs, and $304,556 annual labor
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is
decrease of 661 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease is due to a
change in the number of respondents.
After a thorough analysis involving
industry, and by using the most updated
PO 00000

reports (dated December 2004) from the
U.S. Department of the Interior and the
U.S. Geological Survey, we arrived at
forty-one as the number of sources as
compared to fifty-three in the previous
ICR.
There is a decline in the reporting and
recordkeeping burden cost. The reason
for the decline is because there are no
new sources expected over the next
three years and the adjustment to the
number of existing sources as compared
to the previous ICR.

An explanation of the ratings assigned
to draft environmental impact
statements (EISs) was published in FR
dated April 1, 2005 (70 FR 16815).

Natural Gas (LNG) Import Project,
Construction and Operation of a LNG
Receiving Terminal and Associated
Facilities, U.S. Army COE 10 and 404
Permits, Long Beach, CA.
Summary: EPA expressed
environmental concerns about the
projected modeled exceedance of the
National Ambient Air Quality Standard
for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from
operational emissions of the project.
EPA believes there are additional
control measures that could be
evaluated to mitigate the proposed
projects impact on ambient PM2.5
concentrations. Concerns were also
expressed about localized air emission
impacts to surrounding communities
and the safety risk evaluation of the
onsite storage of certain products.
Rating EC2.

and Parkway Project, Proposed
Channel Improvements, Two
Irrigation Division Structures on Coal
Creek (the Main Street Diversion and
the Woodbury Diversion), Cedar City,
Iron County, UT.
Summary: EPA expressed concerns
about the formulation of the purpose
and need statement and the limited
range of alternatives analyzed, and
requested clarification about air quality
impacts the cumulative impacts analysis
and whether the impacts in the riparian
area have been significant enough to
warrant mitigation. Rating EC2.

to US 411 Interchange with I–75,

Bartow County, GA.
Summary: EPA has expressed
environmental concerns about the
proposed project because of the
potential for significant direct and
indirect impacts to water quality and
threatened and endangered fish species
as well as water quality. Rating EC2.

Sal National Forest, Monticello
Ranger District, San Juan County, UT.
Summary: EPA supports Alternative C
which should reduce the wetland and
stream impacts associated with
replacement of the water collection and
piping systems for the municipal water
supply system for the City of
Monticello. EPA remains concerned
about the level of ecological benefits
attributed to logging spruce stands at
risk for a spruce beetle invasion.
EIS No. 20050313, ERP No. F–DOE–
J39033–UT, Moab Uranium Mill
Trailings Remediation, Proposal to
Clean Up Surface Contamination and
Implement a Ground Water Strategy,
Grand and San Juan Counties, UT.
Summary: EPA supports the
Department of Energy’s selection of the
Crescent Junction off-site location and
the movement of these tailings by rail.
This location has the least
environmental and cultural impact of
any of the alternatives considered. The
stable geologic and surface conditions at
the Crescent Junction alternative will
provide isolation of these tailings
without public health risks for the long
term. Moving these tailings by rail will
avoid disruption of highway traffic and
can be accomplished in the least
amount of time.
