Upon resubmission, the agency must update the burden estimates to accurately reflect the number of respondents and include burden estimates for State reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Ensure that burden is calculated for all of the requirements and ensure that the requirements and burden tables are consistent. The agency must provide screen shots of the mode of collection, ICIS, that is used for this information collection. In addition, the agency must have a burden statement that aligns with the requirements under 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3) and placement of the OMB control number for on-line submissions on the initial screen per 5 CFR 1320.3(f)(2).

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry apply to affected facilities at each new and existing portland cement manufacturing plant that is either a major or area source, including each: kiln including alkali bypasses and inline coal mills; clinker cooler; raw mill; finish mill; raw material dryer; or open clinker storage pile. These regulations apply to each new and existing categories: raw material, clinker or finished product storage bin; conveying system transfer point including those associated with coal preparation used to convey coal from the mill to the kiln; and bagging and bulk loading and unloading system piles located at any portland cement manufacturing plant that is a major source. These regulations do not apply to cement kilns that burn hazardous waste and are subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE, or to cement kilns that burn nonhazardous solid waste and are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC or 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLL. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The adjustment decrease in burden from the most recently-approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources subject to requirement of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLL. The EPA determined that many of the cement kilns previously thought subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLL are already subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE, 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC, or 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD and would not fall under the applicability of this subpart. The decrease in the number of respondents also results in a decrease in the number of responses and operation and maintenance costs. Additionally, Table 1 was revised and reformatted to properly reflect the performance testing requirements for new and existing facilities as stated in Subpart LLL.
