The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Lime Manufacturing were
proposed on December 20, 2002, promulgated on January 5, 2004, and
amended on April 20, 2006. These regulations apply to existing
facilities and new major source facilities that emit or have the
potential to emit any single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) at a
rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year or any
combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more
per year from all emission sources at the plant site. This Subpart
covers lime kilns, their associated coolers, and processed stone
handling (PSH) operation systems located at a lime manufacturing
plant that is a major source. 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 63, Subpart AAAAA. 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. Currently,
the NESHAP also requires owners/operators to maintain records of
the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction (SSM) in the operation of an affected facility, or any
period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. However,
the EPA is proposing amendments to the rule that would eliminate
the SSM exemption, remove the SSM plan and SSM recordkeeping
requirements, and require electronic submittal of performance test
results.
This ICR is prepared for
amendments to the NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part
63, subpart AAAAA). These amendments would: (1) revise provisions
in the NESHAP to remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan; and (2)
require electronic submittal of performance test results. There is
an adjustment decrease in the overall respondent burden and cost
due to a decrease in the estimated number of sources subject to
these regulations and the proposed removal of the SSM requirements.
The decrease in sources is supported by the CAA Section 114 sent to
this industry in January of 2017. There is also an adjustment
increase in burden and cost per respondent due to new work practice
standards for periods of startup and shutdown, specifically the
addition of temperature monitoring for ESPs.
