Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart HH were proposed on May 3, 1977, and promulgated on April 26, 1984. These regulations apply to existing and new rotary lime kilns used in the manufacturing of lime. These standards do not apply to facilities used in the manufacture of lime at kraft pulp mills. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart HH.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Lime manufacturing plants and/or lime kilns.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart HH).
Estimated number of respondents: 41 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually
Total estimated burden: 3,820 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $544,000 (per year), which includes $61,500 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There are no changes in hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There was an increase in the capital/O&M costs to adjust the costs using the CEPCI CE Index.

Director, Information Engagement Division.
