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 18:03 Feb 23, 2006 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 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. Dated: February 12, 2006. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.

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.

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.
