14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2015-1394; Airspace Docket No. 15-ACE-4]

Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Tekamah, Nebraska

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class E airspace at Tekamah
Municipal Airport, Tekamah, NE. A Class E extension is no longer
required due to the decommissioning of the Tekamah VHF Omni-directional
radio range (VOR) facility and its associated standard instrument
approach procedures (SIAPs). This would enhance the safety and
management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective
September 15, 2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface to within a 6.4-mile radius of Tekamah
Municipal Airport, Tekamah, NE., reconfiguring the airspace for
standard instrument approach procedures at the airport. The Tekamah VOR
facility has been decommissioned and its associated SIAPs have been
canceled. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations for other SIAPs at the airport.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014 and effective September 15, 2014, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated impact is so
minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend controlled airspace at the Iowa airports listed in
this NPRM.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Securities Clearing
Corporation; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change to Provide Additional Details Regarding the Requirement
that Members Participate in Annual Testing of Business Continuity and
Disaster Recovery Plans

October 28, 2015.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (``Act'') and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on October 23, 2015, National Securities Clearing Corporation
(``NSCC'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by NSCC. NSCC filed the
proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \3\ of the Act and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \4\ thereunder. The proposed rule change was effective
upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change consists of a change to NSCC's Rule 2B of
the Rules and Procedures (``Rules'') of NSCC to provide additional
details regarding the requirement that Members participate in annual
testing of NSCC's business continuity and disaster recovery plans
(``BCP Testing''), as more fully described below.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning set
forth in NSCC's Rules, available at http://www.dtcc.com/legal/rules-and-procedures.aspx.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, NSCC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. NSCC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The proposed rule change would amend NSCC's Rule 2B (Ongoing
Membership Requirements and Monitoring) to provide additional details
regarding the requirement that NSCC Members participate in NSCC's
annual BCP Testing. Currently, pursuant to Addendum B of the Rules, an
applicant is qualified for membership with NSCC if it is ``able to
satisfactorily communication with the Corporation and fulfill
anticipated commitments to and meet the operational requirements of the
Corporation with necessary promptness and accuracy and to conform to
any condition and requirement that the Corporation reasonably deems
necessary for its protection.'' \6\ Once a firm becomes a Member of
NSCC, NSCC Rule 2B provides that Members may be required to fulfill
certain operational testing requirements that may be imposed by NSCC to
test and monitor the continuing operational capability of the
Members.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Addendum B, Section 1(C) of NSCC's Rules, supra, note 5.
    \7\ NSCC Rule 2B, Section 3, supra, note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Recently, the Commission promulgated Regulation Systems Compliance
and Integrity (``Reg. SCI''), which requires NSCC to establish
standards to designate members \8\ and requires participation by such
designated members in scheduled BCP Testing with NSCC on an annual
basis.\9\ Although NSCC already conducts annual BCP Testing with
certain Members,\10\ NSCC is proposing to amend Rule 2B to further
describe NSCC's requirement with respect to BCP Testing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 17 CFR 242.1004(a). In adopting Reg. SCI, the Commission
determined not to require covered entities to notify the Commission
of its designations or the standards that will be used in
designating members, recognizing instead that each entity's
standards, designations, and updates, if applicable, would be part
of its records and, therefore, available to the Commission and its
staff upon request. See Securities and Exchange Act Release No.
73639 (November 19, 2014), 79 FR 72252 (December 5, 2014) (File No.
S7-01-13).
    \9\ 17 CFR 242.1004(a) and (b).
    \10\ NSCC Rule 2B, Section 3, supra, note 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed amendments to Rule 2B would increase transparency
regarding BCP Testing, and ensure NSCC's practice with respect to such
testing is consistent with Reg. SCI by setting forth NSCC's rights to:
(i) Designate Members required to participate in BCP Testing using
established standards; (ii) determine the scope and reporting of such
BCP Testing; and (iii) require Members to comply with such BCP Testing
within specified timeframes. In connection with these proposed
amendments, NSCC would refine the factors that it currently uses to
designate Members for BCP Testing. For example, while NSCC would
continue to rely on activity-based thresholds to mandate participation
with annual BCP Testing, NSCC would also take into account additional
factors when designating firms for BCP Testing, including, but not
limited to: (i) Significant operational issues of the Member during the
past twelve months; and (ii) past performance of the Member with
respect to BCP Testing. Members would be informed of the specific
standards that would be used by NSCC, along with any updates or changes
to these standards, which would be applied on a prospective basis,
through established methods of communication between NSCC and its
Members. Likewise, Members would be notified in advance that they have
been designated to participate in BCP Testing for the upcoming year,
and would be provided details concerning the nature of such testing as
the particular test plans are determined.
    NSCC believes the proposed rule change would have no impact on NSCC
Members relative to what Members are currently required to do. As
described above, NSCC already requires certain Members to participate
in BCP Testing on an annual basis. The proposed rule change would
provide further clarity with respect to these requirements for
consistency with Reg. SCI.

2. Statutory Basis
    Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act, requires, in part, that NSCC's
Rules be designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions and to protect investors and the
public interest.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 17Ad-22(d)(2), promulgated under the Act, requires NSCC to
require that its Members have robust operational capacity to meet
obligations arising from participation in the clearing agency, to
monitory that its participation requirements are met on an ongoing
basis, and to have participation requirements that are objective and
publicly disclosed.\12\ Rule 17Ad-22(d)(4), promulgated under the Act,
requires NSCC to identify sources of operational risk and minimize them
through the development of appropriate systems, controls, and
procedures, and have business continuity plans that allow for timely
recovery of operations and fulfillment of the clearing agency's
obligations.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(d)(2).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(d)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 1004(a) and (b) of Reg. SCI requires NSCC to establish
standards for the designation of those Members that NSCC reasonably
determines are, taken as a whole, the minimum necessary for the
maintenance of fair and orderly markets in the event of the activation
of its business continuity and disaster recovery plans, and to
designate Members pursuant to those standards and require participation
by such designated Members in scheduled BCP Testing annually.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 242.1004(a) and (b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    By facilitating the testing of how business continuity and disaster
recovery plans function between NSCC and its Members during an
emergency, the proposed rule change would facilitate the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and
protect investors and the public interest consistent with of the Act.
The proposed rule change would provide additional details to NSCC's
Rules regarding the requirement for Members to take part in its BCP
Testing annually, strengthening its compliance with Rule 17Ad-22(d)(2)
and (4).\15\ Further, the proposed rule change would foster the
objectives of the Commission under Reg. SCI by helping to ensure
resilient and available markets.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(d)(2) and (4).
    \16\ 17 CFR 242.1004(a) and (b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As such, NSCC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act, Rule 17Ad-22(d)(2) and (d)(4),
promulgated under the Act, and Rule 1004(a) and (b) of Reg. SCI, cited
above.

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NSCC does not believe that the proposed rule change would impose
any burden on competition because the proposed rule change would apply
to all Members and only provides additional details regarding an
existing requirement.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were not and are not intended to be solicited with
respect to the proposed rule change, and none have been received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change, and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not:
    (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest;
    (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and
    (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was
filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \17\ of the Act and
Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \18\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires NSCC to give the Commission written notice of NSCC's intent
to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and
text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior
to the date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter
time as designated by the Commission. The Commission deems this
requirement to have been met.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \19\ normally
does not become operative for 30 days after the date of filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \20\ the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NSCC has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay
so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing.
According to NSCC, the proposed rule change does not present any novel
or controversial issues. Rather, NSCC is merely providing additional
details regarding BCP Testing requirements or adding provisions that
are consistent with or required by Reg. SCI. Accordingly, the
Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest as
it will allow NSCC to incorporate changes required under Reg. SCI prior
to the November 3, 2015 compliance date. Therefore, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

III. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of
its pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or
more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register.
    Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C)
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment
period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any
minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II have requested that
EPA waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a
30-day comment period on the proposed requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use deletion should submit the withdrawal in writing to
the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the
products have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of

the action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation and amendments
to terminate uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish the
cancellation order in the Federal Register.
    In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation
of product registrations and for amendments to terminate uses, EPA
proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products listed in Tables 1A, 1B and 2 of Unit
II.

A. For Products 211-25, 211-32, 211-36, 211-62 and 34810-8

    The registrant has requested to the Agency via letter to sell
existing stocks for an 18-month period for products 211-25, 211-32,
211-36, 211-62 and 34810-8.

B. For the Products Listed in Table 1b, 264-830 and 264-831

    As there are no risk concerns for these products, after December
31, 2020, the registrant will be prohibited from producing, selling, or
distributing existing stocks of products containing Spirodiclofen.

C. For Products 47000-91, 47000-95 and 47000-144

    The registrant has requested to the Agency via letter to
manufacture and/or distribute existing stocks for a 24-month period
starting the date of the request which was April 25, 2017 for products
47000-91 and 47000-95, and June 28, 2017 for product 47000-144.
    For all other voluntary product cancellations identified in Table
1A of Unit II, registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute
existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products for 1 year after the
effective date of the cancellation, which will be the date of
publication of the cancellation order in the Federal Register.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
the products identified in Table 1A of Unit II, except for export
consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal.
    Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses identified in Table 2 of Unit II,
registrants will be permitted to sell or distribute products under the
previously approved labeling for a period of 18 months after the date
of Federal Register publication of the cancellation order, unless other
restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose labels
include the terminated uses identified in Table 2 of Unit II, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
    Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of canceled products and products whose labels include
the terminated uses until supplies are exhausted, provided that such
sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled
products and terminated uses.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

 BILLING CODE 6560-50-P


1 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Summary of Environmental and Cost Impacts of Proposed Revisions to Portland Cement NESHAP FROM: Mike Laney, RTI David Green, RTI Keith Barnett, EPA TO: Docket Number OAR 2002 0051 DATE: August 19, 2005, revised October 11, 2005 A. Affected Industry The portland cement manufacturing industry is comprised of an estimated 118 cement plants operating a total of 210 nonhazardous waste burning kilns. It is estimated that one brownfield kiln per year will come online following promulgation of the amendments.

B. Air Quality Impacts Hydrocarbon Emissions The variation in hydrocarbon emissions from kilns makes it difficult to quantify impacts on a national basis with any accuracy. Reported total hydrocarbon emission ( THC) test results range from less than 1 ppmvd ( at 7% O2) to over 140 ppmvd ( Docket item II D 195, Docket A 92 53).

A model kiln, with no bypass, producing 650,000 tons of clinker per year will be used to illustrate the difficulty of accurately assessing the impacts of the proposed amendments on hydrocarbon emissions. For 52 kilns tested for hydrocarbon emissions ( Docket item II D 195, Docket A 92 53), approximately 25 percent had emissions of hydrocarbons that exceeded the proposed THC limit for existing kilns with no bypass of 20 ppm. The average hydrocarbon emissions for the kilns exceeding 20 ppm was 62.5 ppm. Based on a new preheater/ precalciner kiln operating at 650,000 tons of clinker per year, emission reductions as a result of the standard would vary depending on the combustion practices in use. Kilns operating at or just above the 20 ppm limit would experience little or no emission reductions as a result of the standard. For an existing kiln exceeding the proposed limit and currently emitting near the average hydrocarbon level of 62.5 ppm, improvements in combustion practices would result in a reduction of 140.5 tons/ yr for a 650,000 ton/ yr kiln. Thus, if 75% of the 210 kilns achieved emissions reductions of this 2 magnitude, annual THC emissions would be decreased by an estimated 22,000 tons/ year. [ A kiln with poor combustion practices and emitting at the highest reported hydrocarbon level of 142 ppm would experience an emission reduction of 403.3 tons/ yr].

Hydrogen Chloride ( HCl) Emissions Based on the use of alkaline scrubbers on kilns at some portland cement plants and their ability to reduce HCl emissions, emission limits for HCl are being proposed for new kilns. Based on an assessment of HCl scrubbers used in municipal waste combustor and medical waste incinerator applications and transfer of similar technology to the cement industry and on vendor design information, EPA determined that an alkaline scrubber can achieve 15 ppmv HCl outlet concentration at low inlet HCl loadings or at least 90 percent removal with an inlet HCl level of 100 ppmv or greater ( 63 FR 14182, March 24, 1998).

Emissions reductions of HCl from new kilns are calculated from a baseline of 54 ppmv HCl for a kiln uncontrolled for HCl, i. e., without a wet scrubber, and assuming emissions of 15 ppmv for a controlled kiln ( II B 67, Docket No. A 92 53). For a new preheater/ precalciner kiln operating at 650,000 tons of clinker per year, the reduction in emissions of HCl is estimated at 106.9 tons/ yr ( II B 67, Docket No. A 92 53). Based on one new kiln per year, HCl emissions will be reduced by 534.5 tons/ yr in the fifth year following promulgation.

Sulfur Dioxide ( SO2) and Particulate Matter ( PM) Emissions Installation of alkaline scrubbers will also reduce emissions of SO2. Reductions in SO2 emissions are based on emissions of 0.8 lb SO2/ ton of feed with 75 percent removal ( II A 4 and II B 67, Docket No. A 92 53). The reduction in SO2 emissions for a new preheater/ precalciner kiln operating at 650,000 tons of clinker per year, is estimated at 321.8 tons/ yr ( Docket item II B 67, Docket No. A 92 53). At a rate of one new kiln per year, SO2 emissions will be reduced by 1,609 tons/ yr in the fifth year following promulgation. Note that we have determined that reducing SO2 emissions also results in a reduction in fine particle emissions because some SO2 is converted to sulfates in the atmosphere. Therefore, the proposed HCl standards will also result in a reduction in emissions of fine PM.

Secondary Impacts Secondary air quality impacts will result from the increased electrical demand associated with the operation of the scrubber added to new cement kilns to comply with the HCl emission limit. The additional electricity usage of an added alkaline scrubber 3 for a new 650,000 ton/ yr kiln is estimated at 984,863 kWhr/ yr ( Docket item II B 67, Docket No. A 92 53). Emission factors used to estimate increased emissions of NOx, CO, SO2, and PM10 are as follows ( Docket item IV B 25, Docket No. A 94 52):

NOx  0.00446 lb/ kWhr CO  0.00231 lb/ kWhr SO2  0.00765 lb/ kWhr PM10  2.25( 10 4) lb/ kWhr Annual emissions resulting from the increased electrical demand of an alkaline scrubber at a new 650,000 ton/ yr kiln would be as follows:

NOx  2.2 tons/ yr CO  1.1 tons/ yr SO2  3.8 tons/ yr PM10  0.11 tons/ yr C. Water Quality Impacts The use of alkaline scrubbers to control HCl emissions will result in an increased consumption of water ( for makeup water and production of the scrubber slurry). For a new 650,000 ton/ yr kiln, the additional water requirement is estimated at 40,556,723 gallons per year ( II B 67, Docket No. A 92 53). Assuming one new kiln per year, total water requirements at the end of the fifth year after promulgation will be approximately 202.8 million gallons.

D. Solid Waste Impacts Additional solid waste will result from the disposal of the scrubber slurry. For a new 650,000 ton/ yr kiln, the additional solid waste generated as a result of the addition of the scrubber is estimated at 45,555 tons per year ( II B 67, Docket No. A 92 53). Assuming one new kiln per year, the total additional solid waste generated at the end of the fifth year following promulgation of the amendments will be about 227,800 tons.

E. Energy Impacts The use of alkaline scrubbers to control HCl will increase the demand for electricity. The additional electricity for an added alkaline scrubber for a new 650,000 ton/ yr kiln is estimated at 984,863 kWhr/ yr ( II B 67, Docket No. A 92 53). Assuming one new kiln per year, the total electrical demand in the fifth year after promulgation will be 4.9 million kWhr. 4 F. Cost Impacts Existing Kilns Under the proposed rule, existing sources could install either THC CEMs or CO CEMS to demonstrate continuous compliance with the kiln ( or kiln bypass) THC limits. CO CEMS are less expensive than THC CEMS, so it is assumed that sources will install CO CEMS. EPA's Continuous Emission Monitoring System Cost Model, Version 3.0 was used to estimate capital and operating costs of these systems. A range of annualized capital costs were estimated based on social discount factors of 3 percent and 7 percent.

Total installed capital costs (" first costs") for extractive CO CEMS at existing cement kilns, include the cost of the monitor, sampling system, data acquisition system, and shelter ( including fabrication). In addition, labor costs for planning, equipment selection, installation, performance specification testing and preparation of a QA/ QC plan are included. These costs are estimated at $ 138,900 per kiln, including a cost escalation from 1998 to 2003. At a 3% and 7% capital amortization, annual capital costs range from $ 11,644 to $ 15,261/ year/ kiln. Installations at new plants are slightly less expensive ($ 137,800 per kiln or, amortized capital cost of $ 11,556 to 15,152/ year/ kiln), reflecting simpler installation.

A THC performance test will also be required for each kiln. EPA estimates that a Method 25A test will require 280 hours of technician labor, supported by 14 hours of management labor and 28 hours of clerical labor. The most recent labor rates from the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflated by 110%, for technical, management and clerical labor are $ 64.60, $ 95.32 and $ 40.09 per hour, respectively. Estimated costs are $ 20,545/ test. Testing costs amortized over a 5 year period at 3% and 7% will result in an additional $ 4486/ year/ kiln and $ 5010/ year/ kiln, respectively.

Operation and maintenance ( O& M) of the CEMS, plus an annual RATA, quarterly audits, record keeping and updates is estimated at $ 21,400 per kiln ( including a cost escalation to 2003).

Total capital costs for existing kilns, consisting of CEM and performance test are $ 159,545/ year/ kiln. The annual capital costs at 3% and 7% amortization range from $ 16,130 to $ 20,272/ kiln/ yr. Total annual costs per kiln, comprised of capital recovery plus O& M are estimated at $ 37,530 and $ 41,672 for existing kilns. Nationwide, total annual cost for existing kilns is estimated at $ 7,881,300 to $ 8,751,120. 5 During the development of the promulgated rule for portland cement manufacturing ( 63 FR 14182, March 24, 1998), activated carbon injection ( ACI) was investigated as a potential beyondthe floor alternative for mercury for existing as well as new cement kilns. Capital costs for ACI ranged from $ 680,000 to $ 4.9 million per kiln with annual costs ranging from $ 426,000 to $ 3.3 million ( Docket item II B 67, Docket No. A 92 53). These costs are 1993 costs. Costs were updated to 2003 using plant cost indices published in Chemical Engineering ( Chemical Engineering, September 1999 and November 2004). Thus, ACI costs for 2003 are calculated as follows:

Capital cost = $ 680,000 × ( 402.0/ 359.2) $ 760,920/ kiln Capital cost = $ 4,900,000 × ( 402.0/ 359.2) $ 5,483,853/ kiln Annual costs for 2003 are:

Annual cost = $ 426,000 × ( 402.0/ 359.2) $ 476,694/ kiln Annual cost = $ 3,300,000 × ( 402.0/ 359.2) $ 3,693,207/ kiln For 210 kilns, nationwide annual costs for an ACI system would range from $ 100.1 million/ year to $ 775.5 million/ year. Applying the same cost escalator ( 402.0/ 359.2) to the 1993 cost effectiveness estimates of $ 20 million and $ 50 million per ton of mercury removed ( 63 FR 14182, March 24, 1998), 2003 cost effectiveness would be an estimated $ 22.4 million to $ 56.0 million per ton of mercury removed.

Another beyond the floor option considered during the original rulemaking ( 63 FR 14182, March 24, 1998) was the use of alkaline scrubbers for HCl control on existing kilns. Applying the same cost escalator ( 402.0/ 359.2), 2003 capital costs for this control option ranged from $ 1.1 million to $ 5.1 million/ kiln; annual costs ranged from $ 336,000 to $ 1.7 million/ kiln.

New Kilns The costs for new sources will include the cost of alkaline wet scrubbers, CO monitors, and THC performance tests. ( Note that we are assuming that these will be located at brownfield sites to avoid understating costs.) Costs for scrubbers were estimated during the development of the promulgated rules for portland 6 cement manufacturing ( 63 FR 14182, March 24, 1998). Total capital cost of installing an alkaline scrubber on a new preheater/ precalciner kiln with a production rate of 650,000 tons of clinker per year was estimated at $ 1.9 million ( Docket item II B 67, Docket No. A 92 53). These costs are 1993 costs. Costs were updated to 2003 using plant cost indices published in Chemical Engineering ( Chemical Engineering, September 1999 and November 2004). Thus, scrubber costs for 2003 are calculated as follows:

Capital cost = $ 1,902,625 × ( 402.0/ 359.2) $ 2,129,330/ kiln The capital cost for CO CEM at new kilns are estimated at $ 137,800/ kiln and a THC performance test is estimated at $ 20,545/ kiln. Thus, the total capital cost for a new kiln under the proposed amendment is $ 2,287,675.

Amortized at 3% and 7% over 15 years, annualized capital costs for a scrubber is $ 178,368 and $ 233,790/ year/ kiln. Total annualized capital costs per new kiln include costs for the scrubber, CO CEM, and performance tests and range from $ 194,410 to $ 253,952. Annual O& M costs for the scrubber are estimated at $ 525,489/ year/ kiln. Thus, total annual cost per kiln, including O& M, range from $ 741,299 to $ 800,841. At one new kiln per year, the total annual cost in the fifth year would be $ 3.7 million to $ 4.0 million.

Limitations on Cost Estimates The capital cost estimates developed in this memo may be biased high, as considerable cost savings can be expected where an existing data acquisition system ( such as one used with an existing continuous opacity monitor, or, at new greenfield kilns, the system used for the THC CEM) can be shared with the CO CEMS. Similarly, costs for the monitor shelter may be overestimated in cases where another CEM is already installed.

Some kilns may already have CO monitors installed, either as a permit requirement for operation in CO nonattainment areas or ozone nonattainment areas. Some kilns may already operate CO CEMS for combustion control.

The labor costs for operating and maintaining monitors in the CEMS Cost Model Version 3.0 ( when escalated), are realistic, however they do not reflect the excessive benefit inflators used in OMB Supporting Statements. 7 The operation of a CO monitor to control combustion conditions, may result in substantial cost savings due to improvements in energy efficiency. These credits can not be estimated.

Due to characteristics of feed materials as well as the inherently alkaline environment of kiln gases, it may be possible for some new kilns to meet the proposed HCl limits without the addition of scrubbers.

F. Economic Impacts The economic impacts of the proposed changes to the NESHAP which have cost implications, namely the requirement to test and monitor THC and CO, and, for new kilns or in line raw mill/ kilns, the cost to install and operate a wet scrubbing system, are negligible. The assessment of the earlier Portland cement regulations with greater per source costs did not have a significant effect on the cost of goods produced. Since we expect the conditions that produced those conclusions still exist today, these new regulations will not have a discernible impact on the Portland cement market.

We note that the highest cost per kiln resulting from the proposed amendments will be the cost of alkaline scrubbers for new kilns. This additional requirement represents less than 1.5 percent of the expected revenue stream for a typical new kiln. We do not consider this to be economically significant.

We also examined the small business impacts of the proposed amendments. At the time of promulgation of the final NESHAP in 1999, there were 6 7 small businesses that operated approximately 13 kilns that would potentially be affected by the NESHAP. We believe this estimate is still reasonable. The total revenues of the small business sector were $ 194.1 million in 1995 dollars based on a portland cement price of $ 61.64 per ton. These revenues were expected to be reduced by $ 9.5 million by the effects of the NESHAP, so the total revenues for the small business sector based on 1995 prices would now be $ 184.6 million. Using an updated price for portland cement of $ 86.52 per ton, the total revenue of the small business sector is now estimated to be approximately $ 259 million. The total estimated cost of these proposed amendments for the 13 existing kilns is $ 542,000 ( based on the 7 percent discount factor). Therefore, the total estimated costs for the small business sector represent 0.209 percent of revenues. We do not see this cost as economically significant. 8 G.
