                                  MEMORANDUM
                                       
TO:  Portland Cement NESHAP and NSPS Dockets

FROM:  Keith Barnett, USEPA

DATE:  December 23, 2010

SUBJECT:  Late Docket Entries

On August 6, 2010, EPA's Administrator signed the final amendments to the Portland Cement NESHAP and NSPS.  On that date, EPA staff had completed all materials comprising the administrative record for the NESHAP and NSPS.  However, staff inadvertently failed to enter a number of these items into the rulemaking dockets.   Upon noticing the omissions, staff entered these items into the dockets albeit after the signature date.   

The items in question consist of contact records, meeting notes, and data submitted by industry between proposal and promulgation.  All of these items were complete at the time of signature, and any pertinent information used in rulemaking was contained in the technical support documents that were entered into the dockets by August 6, 2010.   The late entry of these items in no way affected any of the decisions in promulgating the final rules.

The docket numbers for these late entries (including this memorandum) are EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0051-3478 through 3949.1, and EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0051-3567 in the Portland Cement NESHAP Docket and EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-0877-0107 through 109, and EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-0877-0111 in the NSPS Docket.

In addition, before signature, a document for the NSPS was entered into the NESHAP docket rather than the NSPS docket, and two support documents that were applicable to both the NESHAP and NSPS were entered in the NESHAP docket only.  We are adding these documents to the NSPS docket (as well as leaving them in place in the NESHAP docket).  The docket numbers for these items in the NESHAP docket are EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0051-3465, 3438, and 3477, and they are numbered as EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-0877-0112 through 114 in the NSPS docket.
