This approval
covers only the first component, the survey portion of the ICR.
After receiving facility-specific information under the first
component of the ICR via the survey, EPA should submit its sampling
plan for the second component, the emissions testing, and a revised
Part B to OMB. The agency may resubmit this sampling plan and
revised Part B under this OMB Control Number without additional
Federal Register notices.

The proposed ICR has two components to
the information collection. To obtain the information necessary to
identify and categorize all combustion units potentially affected
by the revised standard, the first component of this ICR will
solicit information from all potentially affected units in the
format of an electronic survey under authority of section 114 of
the CAA. The survey will be submitted to all facilities that either
submitted an initial notification, or if initial notification data
is not available, all facilities with Title V permits denoted as a
major source of HAP, that have a boiler or process heater listed in
their permit. The survey will also be sent to units covered by the
2000 CISWI standard and to facilities with incineration units
listed as exempt under the 2000 CISWI standard. The second
component will consist of requiring, if deemed necessary, again
through the issuance of a letter pursuant to the authority of
section 114 of the CAA, the owners/operators of up to a total of
350 combustion units selected at random to conduct in accordance
with an EPA-approved protocol stack testing. The EPA estimates the
cost of the electronic survey component of the information
collection will be 82,403 hours and $6,207,789. The total annual
reporting and recordkeeping burden for the stack testing component
of the data gathering effort is estimated to be no more than 29,548
hours and $33,748,769.
The NESHAP for boilers and
process heaters (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart DDDDD) was vacated by the
courts. The vacature requires EPA to revise the NESHAP. The data
sources used previously are over 10 years old. The Agency has
concluded that obtaining updated information is crucial to
informing its decision on a revised NESHAP and the remanded CISWI
rule (40 CFR Part 60 Subpart CCCC).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
