    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Calciners 
and Dryers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR part 60, subpart UUU) 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 the NSPS for Metallic Mineral 
Processing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart LL) are not subject to these 
standards. 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. In general, all NSPS 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 
NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of calciners 
and dryers at mineral processing plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart UUU).
    Estimated number of respondents: 167 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 6,630 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $805,000 (per year), includes $109,000 in 
either annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a small increase in the total 
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
Burdens. The adjustment in the burden occurred because this ICR assumes 
all existing respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory 
requirements each year. Further, there is an increase of one response 
due to a correction. The previous ICR did not account for the 
notification of operational/physical change in calculating the number 
of responses.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
