Title: Implementation of Ambient Air
Protocol Gas Verification Participation
Survey
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. EPA–HQ–
OAR–2010–0050, OMB Control No.
2060–New.
ICR status: This ICR is for a new
information collection activity. 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, are 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: This ICR includes ambient
air monitoring data reporting and
recordkeeping activities associated with
the 40 CFR part 58 Appendix A,
Ambient Air Quality Surveillance
Quality Assurance Regulations. These
data and information are collected by
state, local, and tribal air quality
management agencies and reported to
the EPA.
The EPA Ambient Air Quality
Monitoring Program’s quality assurance
requirements in 40 CFR part 58,
Appendix A, require: ‘‘2.6 Gaseous and
Flow Rate Audit Standards. Gaseous
pollutant concentration standards
(permeation devices or cylinders of
compressed gas) used to obtain test
concentrations for CO, SO2, NO, and
NO2 must be traceable to either a
National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) Traceable Reference
Material (NTRM), NIST Standard
Reference Materials (SRM), and
Netherlands Measurement Institute
(NMI) Primary Reference Materials
(valid as covered by Joint Declaration of
Equivalence) or a NIST-certified Gas
Manufacturer’s Internal Standard
(GMIS), certified in accordance with one
of the procedures given in reference 4 of
this appendix. Vendors advertising
certification with the procedures
provided in reference 4 of this appendix
and distributing gases as ‘‘EPA Protocol
Gas’’ must participate in the EPA
Protocol Gas Verification Program or not
use ‘‘EPA’’ in any form of advertising.’’
These requirements give assurance to
end users that all specialty gas
producers selling EPA Protocol Gases
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:07 Mar 01, 2010
Jkt 220001
are participants in a program that
provides an independent assessment of
the accuracy of their gases’ certified
concentrations. In 2010, EPA will
develop an Ambient Air Protocol Gas
Verification Program (AA–PGVP) that
will help to ensure that producers
selling EPA Protocol Gases participate
in the AA–PGVP and will provide end
users with information about
participating producers and verification
results.
Each year, EPA will attempt to
compare gas cylinders from every
specialty gas producer being used by
ambient air monitoring organizations.
EPA Regions 2 and 7 have agreed to
provide analytical services for
verification of 40 cylinders/lab or 80
cylinders total/year. Cylinders will be
verified at a pre-determined time each
quarter.
In order to make the appropriate
selection, EPA needs to know what
specialty gas producers are being used
by the monitoring organizations.
Therefore, EPA needs to survey each
primary quality assurance organization
every year to collect information on
specialty gas producers being used and
whether the monitoring organization
would like to participate in the
verification for the upcoming calendar
year.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 20 minutes 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.
The annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 20
minutes per response with a cost of
$21.71 per year. The total number of
respondents is assumed to be 211.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,

What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the

Title: NESHAP for Portland Cement
(Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1801.08, OMB Control Number 2060–
0416.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on April 30, 2010. 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 affected entities are
subject to the General Provisions of the
NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart LLL. Owners or operators of the
affected facilities must submit a onetime-only report of any physical or
operational changes, initial performance
tests, and periodic reports and results.
Owners or operators are also required to
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 69.56 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:
Portland cement plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
94.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally, semiannually and
annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
28,242.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$4,975,387, which includes $2,656,095
in labor costs, $1,439,200 in annual
capital/startup costs, and $880,092 in
operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase in burden hours and dollars
from the most recently approved ICR
renewal (EPA ICR number 1801.07) is
due to a 2006 program change in the
regulation requiring additional
performance testing, monitoring,
recordkeeping, and reporting
requirements. These amendments
would affect any new, modified, or
reconstructed sources after December 2,
2005.
There was a decrease in number of
responses currently identified in the
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens.
This decrease is due to the correction of
transpose error in the currently
approved burden estimates in ICRAS.
Further, the number of responses also
decreased due to a decrease in the
number of estimated portland cement
plants affected by ICR since the last
renewal.
The increase in capital/start-up and
O&M costs is also due to a 2006 program
change in the regulation requiring new
monitoring equipment. The THC
monitors are a new requirement for new
sources since the last ICR renewal.
Further, the change in labor costs for
industry and EPA is due to the use of
more current labor rates.

Title: NESHAP for Portland Cement (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1801.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0416.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2010.
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 affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes,
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart
LLL. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or
operators are also required to 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 69.56
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: Portland cement plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 94.
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and
annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 28,242.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $4,975,387, which includes $2,656,095
in labor costs, $1,439,200 in annual capital/startup costs, and
$880,092 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden hours and dollars
from the most recently approved ICR renewal (EPA ICR number 1801.07) is
due to a 2006 program change in the regulation requiring additional
performance testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting
requirements. These amendments would affect any new, modified, or
reconstructed sources after December 2, 2005.
There was a decrease in number of responses currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is due to the
correction of transpose error in the currently approved burden
estimates in ICRAS. Further, the number of responses also decreased due
to a decrease in the number of estimated portland cement plants
affected by ICR since the last renewal.
The increase in capital/start-up and O&M costs is also due to a
2006 program change in the regulation requiring new monitoring
equipment. The THC monitors are a new requirement for new sources since
the last ICR renewal. Further, the change in labor costs for industry
and EPA is due to the use of more current labor rates.
