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
manufacturing plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
62.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
14,723.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$1,509,024, which includes $1,384,616
in labor costs, $88,908 in capital/startup
costs, and $35,500 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase in burden hours and number of
responses from the most recently
approved ICR is due to an increase in
the number of respondents. This ICR
based the number of respondents on the
number of lime manufacturing plants
identified during the rulemaking and
accounted for the one additional
respondent per year since the rule
became final. The previous ICR had
identified the number of respondents as
the number of companies with plants
subject to the rule, but each plant
should be considered a separate
respondent and this correction is
reflected in this ICR. An increase in
burden per response also occurred due
to an incorrect calculation of the
number of responses in the previous
ICR. The decrease in capital and annual
O&M costs reflects a change made to
account for the fact that initial
performance testing for Method 5 has
been completed for existing sources,
and the only units subject to initial
testing is estimated to be one
respondent per year. The existing 61
respondents are only subject to repeat
performance testing every five years, or
12.2 respondents per year. The capital
and O&M costs also changed to include
the costs for bag leak detection monitors
to be consistent with the costs presented
in the 2004 final rulemaking notice.

At the
time of permit issuance, the United Egg
Producers (UEP), a farmer cooperative
that represents egg producers
nationwide, was in an XL project
agreement with EPA to allow eligible
facilities to obtain permit coverage
under a general permit. Project XL was
a national pilot program that allowed
state and local governments, businesses
and federal facilities to develop with
EPA more cost-effective ways of
achieving environmental and public
health protection. With this notice not
to reissue the general permit, EPA is
closing out this XL project as it is no
longer active.
