The information will be used by the
EPA to identify stationary combustion turbines subject to the new
source performance standards (NSPS) and ensure that the emission
standards are being met. Records and reports are necessary to
enable the EPA to identify facilities that may not be in compliance
with the standards. Based on reported information, EPA will decide
which facilities should be inspected and what records or units
should be inspected at the facilities. The records that facilities
maintain will indicate to EPA whether facility personnel are
operating and maintaining the equipment properly.
The increase in burden occurred
from the publication of a new subpart. The prior rule setting
standards for stationary combustion turbines was subbpart GG. EPA
amended the standards for combustion turbines and published a new
subpart, subpart KKKK, written in plain English to replace subpart
GG for new stationary combustion turbines.
