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 survey portion of the ICR
that was approved by OMB in July 2008 is now complete and there are
no costs associated with collecting or compiling the survey results
in this ICR. Second, the universe of units the Agency is requesting
to test has decreased from an estimated 350 units to 277 units.
Further, the extent of the tests required at these 277 units does
not cover all pollutants at all units as was previously estimated.
The Agency has included an estimate of actual data gaps that exist
and is only requested the number and types of tests necessary to
complete these gaps. Finally, the Agency is using fuel analysis
when appropriate in order to reduce the costs related to stack
testing.
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.
