Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 33275 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 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Portland Cement Plants were proposed on August 17, 1971, promulgated on December 23, 1971, and amended on December 14, 1988, October 17, 2000, and September 9, 2010. Particulate matter emissions from Portland cement plants either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. The control of emissions of particulate matter from Portland cement plants requires not only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that equipment. Emissions of particulate matter from Portland cement plants are the result of operation of kilns, clinker coolers, raw mill systems, raw mill dryers, raw material storage, clinker storage, finished product storage, conveyor transfer points, bagging and bulk loading and unloading systems. These standards rely on the capture of particulate emissions by a baghouse or electrostatic precipitator. In order to ensure compliance with these standards, adequate reporting and recordkeeping is necessary. In the absence of such information, enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether the standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean Air Act. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least two years following the date 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. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart F and 40 CFR part 60, Subpart A, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information E:\FR\FM\08JNN1.SGM 08JNN1 sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 33276 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 8, 2011 / Notices consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined to be private. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 71 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 purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining, information, and disclosing and providing information. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that 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: 118. Frequency of Response: Initially and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 17,666. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,766,659, which includes $1,827,645 in labor costs, $55,194 in capital/startup costs, and $883,820 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no increase in the number of affected facilities, or the number of responses compared to the previous ICR. There is, however, an increase in the estimated hours, and labor burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This change in burden has occurred because this renewal ICR is being combined with EPA ICR number 2307.02, which resulted in an increase in burden hours and cost. The combining of this ICR with ICR number 2307.02 also resulted in an increase in capital/startup vs. O&M costs. Dated: May 31, 2011. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

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

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Portland 
Cement Plants were proposed on August 17, 1971, promulgated on December 
23, 1971, and amended on December 14, 1988, October 17, 2000, and 
September 9, 2010. Particulate matter emissions from Portland cement 
plants either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably 
be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.
    The control of emissions of particulate matter from Portland cement 
plants requires not only the installation of properly designed 
equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that equipment. 
Emissions of particulate matter from Portland cement plants are the 
result of operation of kilns, clinker coolers, raw mill systems, raw 
mill dryers, raw material storage, clinker storage, finished product 
storage, conveyor transfer points, bagging and bulk loading and 
unloading systems. These standards rely on the capture of particulate

reporting and recordkeeping is necessary. In the absence of such 
information, enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether 
the standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the 
Clean Air Act.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
two years following the date 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. This information 
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart F 
and 40 CFR part 60, Subpart A, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) 
of the Clean Air Act. The required information

[[Page 33276]]

consists of emissions data and other information that have been 
determined to be private.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 71 
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 purpose of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining, information, and disclosing and providing information. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements that 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: 118.
    Frequency of Response: Initially and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 17,666.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,766,659, which includes $1,827,645 
in labor costs, $55,194 in capital/startup costs, and $883,820 in 
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no increase in the number of 
affected facilities, or the number of responses compared to the 
previous ICR. There is, however, an increase in the estimated hours, 
and labor burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This change in burden has occurred because this 
renewal ICR is being combined with EPA ICR number 2307.02, which 
resulted in an increase in burden hours and cost.
    The combining of this ICR with ICR number 2307.02 also resulted in 
an increase in capital/startup vs. O&M costs.
