The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries were proposed on April 23, 1986, and promulgated on September 28, 1992. These regulations apply only to new calciners and dryers at mineral processing plants that either process or produce either any of the following minerals and their concentrates or any mixture of which the majority is any of the following minerals or a combination of these minerals: alumina, ball clay, bentonite, diatomite, feldspar, fire clay, fuller's earth, gypsum, industrial sand, kaolin, lightweight aggregate, magnesium compounds, perlite, roofing granules, talc, titanium dioxide, and vermiculite. Particulate matter (PM) is the pollutant regulated under this subpart. Feed and product conveyors are not considered part of the affected facility. Facilities subject to NSPS Subpart LL, Metallic Mineral Processing Plants are not subject to this standard. There are additional processes and process units at mineral processing plants listed at Section 60.730(b) which are not subject to the provisions of this subpart. 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 UUU. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notification reports, 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 NSPS. Any owner/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 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.

There is an increase of two hours in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden and cost estimates occurred as a result of correctly applying an assumption that was misinterpreted previously. Footnote 'k' in Table 1 states that we have assumed one respondent will notify the Agency regarding a physical or operation change. In the previous ICR, the burden associated with writing the "notification of physical or operation change" was calculated with zero respondents, instead of one respondent. Making the correction from zero respondents to one respondent results in a minor increase in both the labor and cost burden estimates.
