SUPPORTING STATEMENT

FOR

NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS (NESHAP) FOR STATIONARY RECIPROCATING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES (40 CFR PART 63, SUBPART ZZZZ)

1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION

(a) Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ) (Propose Rule), ICR Number 1975.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0548.

(b) Short Characterization

This supporting statement addresses new information collection activities that would be imposed by the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE), 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ, to be revised in 2010. These standards fulfill the requirements of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended in 1990, which requires the EPA to promulgate standards for stationary RICE. The original NESHAP (69 FR 33474, June 15, 2004) applied only to stationary RICE greater than 500 horsepower (HP) located at a major source. EPA promulgated NESHAP for new and reconstructed stationary RICE that are located at area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions and for new and reconstructed stationary RICE that have a site rating of less than or equal to 500 HP that are located at major sources of HAP emissions on January 18, 2008 (73 FR 3568). At that time, EPA did not promulgate a final decision for existing stationary RICE that are located at area sources of HAP emissions or for existing stationary RICE that have a site rating of less than or equal to 500 HP that are located at major sources of HAP emissions. Today’s proposal initiates a separate rulemaking process that focuses on existing sources. This information collection request (ICR) addresses only the costs associated with these sources.

The information collection activities in this ICR include: initial performance testing for certain engines, one-time notifications and periodic reports, recording information, monitoring and the maintenance of records. The information collection activities will enable the EPA to determine initial and continuous compliance with emission standards for the regulated pollutants.

2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION

(a) Need/Authority for the Collection

The EPA is required under section 112 of the CAA to establish NESHAP that reflect the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for achieving continuous emission reductions. Section 112(d) states:

Emissions standards promulgated under this subsection and applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants shall require the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of the hazardous air pollutants subject to this section that the Administrator, taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emission reduction, and any non-air quality health and environmental impacts and energy requirements, determines is achievable for new or existing sources in the category or subcategory to which such emission standard applies . . . .

Section 112(i) further states:

After the effective date of any emissions standard, limitation or regulation promulgated under this section and applicable to a source, no person may operate such source in violation of such standard, limitation or regulation . . . .

In addition, section 114(a)(1) states that:

. . . the Administrator may require any person who owns or operates any emission source or who is subject to any requirement of this Act . . . to (A) establish and maintain such records, (B) make such reports, (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment or methods, (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such methods, at such locations, at such intervals, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe), and (E) provide such other information, as he may reasonably require.

Certain reports are necessary to enable the Administrator to identify stationary RICE subject to the regulation and to determine if the standards are being achieved.

(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The information will be used by the EPA to identify sources subject to the standards 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.

3. NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA

(a) Nonduplication

Duplication in the reporting of stationary RICE information is not anticipated. If the standard has not been delegated, the information is sent to the appropriate EPA Regional Office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated State or local agency. If a State or local agency has adopted their own similar regulation to implement the Federal regulation, a copy of the report submitted to the State or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standard. Therefore, no duplication exists.

(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

The proposed rule will give the public notice of the submission of the ICR to OMB.

(c) Consultations

In September 1996, the EPA chartered the Industrial Combustion Coordinated Rulemaking (ICCR) advisory committee under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The committee’s objective was to develop recommendations for regulations for several combustion source categories under sections 112 and 129 of the CAA. The ICCR advisory committee, known as the Coordinating Committee, formed Source Work Groups for the various combustor types covered under the ICCR. One work group, the RICE Work Group, was formed to research issues related to stationary RICE. The RICE Work Group submitted recommendations, information, and data analysis results to the Coordinating Committee, which in turn considered them and submitted recommendations and information to the EPA. The Committee’s recommendations were considered by the EPA in developing the original regulations for stationary RICE, as well as for the additional stationary RICE now being addressed.

More recently, EPA has met with the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA), the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA), as well as other affected entities that will be subject to the new emission standards. Information and advice from these groups was considered when developing these additions to the NESHAP. EPA has also gathered further information on existing engines and has considered comments it received on the original proposed rule, the advance notice of proposed rulemaking notice (73 FR 4136), and the intervening court decision in creating this proposed rulemaking. The public will also have the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed NESHAP and the ICR during the specified comment period.

(d) Effects of Less Frequent Data Collection

The frequency of the data collection requirements was chosen by the EPA to provide reasonable assurance that a facility is in compliance with the standard. Less frequent collection could result in long-term exceedances of the applicable emission standards.

(e) General Guidelines

With the exception of requiring records to be maintained for more than 3 years, none of the guidelines in CFR 1320.5 are being exceeded. This rule requires all records to be maintained for a period of 5 years, which is consistent with the General Provisions under 40 CFR part 63.

(f) Confidentiality

The type of data that would be required is principally emissions data and would not be confidential. If any information is submitted to the EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is made, the information would be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B -- Confidentiality of Business Information.

(g) Sensitive Questions

This ICR does not involve matters of a sensitive nature.

4. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED

(a) Respondents/NAICS Codes

Respondents are owners or operators of existing stationary RICE that are less than or equal to 500 HP that are located at major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), existing stationary RICE located at area sources of HAP emissions, and existing stationary non-emergency compression ignition (CI) RICE that are greater than 500 HP that are located at major sources of HAP emissions. A major source of HAP emissions is a plant site that emits or has the potential to emit 10 tons or more per year of any single HAP or 25 tons or more per year of any combination of HAP. These standards affect any industry, State, local, or tribal government using stationary RICE as defined in the regulation. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes for facilities using stationary RICE affected by the regulation include: 2211 (Electric Power Generation, Transmission, or Distribution), 622110 (Medical and Surgical Hospitals), 48621 (Natural Gas Transmission), 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Production), 2111112 (Natural Gas Liquids Producers), and 92811 (National Security).

(b) Information Requested

(i) Data Items: Attachment 1, Source Data and Information Requirements, summarizes the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of this regulation.

(ii) Respondent Activities: The respondent activities required by the regulation are provided under the first column of Tables 1 through 3, introduced in section 6(a).

(iii) Summary of Monitoring Requirements: The monitoring activities in this ICR include initial performance tests for demonstration compliance for non-emergency engines greater than or equal to 100 HP located at major sources and non-emergency engines greater than or equal to 100 HP located at area sources that are subject to numerical emission limits. It also includes recording hours of operation for stationary emergency engines. Engines that are greater than 500 HP are subject to subsequent performance testing every 3 years or 8,760 hours, whichever comes first, but are not included since the ICR only considers the first 3 years after the rule has become effective and subsequent performance testing for larger engines is expected to occur after those initial 3 years. Non-emergency engines greater than 500 HP that have add-on controls are required to use a continuous parametric monitoring system (CPMS) to monitor the catalyst inlet temperature and pressure drop across the catalyst to ensure those parameters do not exceed the operating limitations required by the proposed rule. The cost of purchasing and operating a CPMS was obtained from vendor quotes received for previous rulemaking and adjusted to 2007 dollars. The capital cost of a CPMS for a large engine facility is $531. It is estimated that 30 hours per year is necessary to operate and maintain the CPMS and that 6 hours per year (or 0.5 hours per month) is needed to record information from the CPMS. It is assumed that all engines subject to continuous monitoring would be located at large engine facilities. Engines that are less than 100 HP, stationary emergency RICE, and stationary RICE that are located at area sources that are not subject to any numerical emission standards, must operate and maintain their stationary RICE and aftertreatment control device (if any) according to the manufacturer’s emission-related written instructions or develop their own maintenance plan. No ICR burden was attributed to the requirement of following the manufacturer’s emission-related operation and maintenance requirements or the owner or operator’s own maintenance plan. It is expected that the majority of owners and operators are already following some type of O&M requirements and no additional burden is expected in order to comply with this requirement.

5. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED -- AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

(a) Agency Activities

A list of Agency activities for the first 3 years following the effective date of the standard is provided in Tables 5 through 7, which are introduced in section 6(c).

(b) Collection Methodology and Management

Data obtained during periodic visits by EPA personnel, from records maintained by the respondents, and from information provided in semiannual reports will be tabulated and published for internal EPA use in compliance and enforcement programs. The final rule allows records to be retained in hard copy or electronic format to allow flexibility and minimize burden.

(c) Small Entity Flexibility

Minimizing the information collection burden for all sizes of organizations is a continuing effort for the EPA. The additions to the NESHAP for existing stationary RICE applies to engines less than or equal to 500 hp located at major sources, to all existing engines at area sources, and to existing stationary non-emergency CI RICE greater than 500 hp located at major sources.

To reduce the impact on small entities, EPA is proposing to require minimal compliance requirements on owners and operators of smaller engines, i.e., those less than 100 hp, owners and operators of emergency engines, and owners and operators of engines not subject to any numerical emission standards. These engines must follow operation and maintenance requirements only and are not subject to performance testing. EPA believes that operation and maintenance requirements will ensure that the engine is in compliance. The cost of subjecting these engines to performance testing is not reasonable and would constitute a significant economic burden when compared to the cost of the unit itself. EPA expects that a large number of smaller engines will be subject to the rule and therefore believes the reduced compliance requirements are will assist in reducing the burden on and providing flexibility for small entities. Further, only engines greater than 500 hp will be subject to continuous monitoring and additional performance testing. Thus, small entities will be required to conduct fewer performance tests than large sources, reducing the impact on small sources. Furthermore, EPA is proposing to require less reporting requirements on smaller sources, but at the same time requiring a level of reporting that would be needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, additional reducing the impact on small businesses.

(d) Collection Schedule

Existing sources must submit an initial notification that the source is subject to the standard within 120 days after the source becomes subject to the relevant standard. Sources who are required to conduct a performance test must submit a notification 60 days prior to each performance test. Sources who must conduct performance testing to demonstrate initial compliance must submit an initial notification of compliance within 180 days after completion of the initial compliance demonstration. Sources whose initial compliance demonstration does not include performance testing must submit an initial notification of compliance within 30 days of the initial compliance demonstration. All facilities must submit to the EPA a semiannual compliance report that includes any exceedances and malfunctions.

6. ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION

(a) Estimating Respondent Burden

It is estimated that 977,343 engines will be subject to recordkeeping and reporting requirements under the proposed rule each year over the next 3 years after the rule has become effective. Sources must perform initial performance tests for non-emergency engines that are greater than 100 hp located at major sources and for non-emergency engines that are greater than 100 hp located at area sources that are subject to numerical emission standards. Sources with engines greater than 500 hp that have controls are subject to continuous monitoring requirements. Sources must also conduct additional performance tests on engines that are greater than 500 hp every 3 years or 8,760 hours, whichever comes first. However, as noted previously, this ICR does not include those activities.

An itemized breakdown of the reporting and recordkeeping requirements with the annual cost and labor requirements for the respondents subject to the NESHAP for the 3-year period following the effective date of the rule is presented in Tables 1 through 3. The annual cost and labor respondent burden estimates for the first year after promulgation are provided in Table 1. The burden estimates for years 2 and 3 are presented in Tables 2 and 3, respectively. These numbers were derived from the EPA’s experience with other standards.

(b) Estimating Respondent Costs

The information collection activities for sources subject to these requirements are presented in Tables 1 through 3. The total cost for each respondent activity includes labor costs and capital/startup costs.

(i) Estimating Labor Costs The total cost for each respondent activity includes labor costs. Labor rates, on a per-hour basis, are taken from the Bureau of Labor Statistics web site (http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.t02.htm) as posted for 2008. The base labor rates are $32.52 for technical/professional personnel, $37.24 for management, and $15.63 for clerical. The total compensation rate is $46.06 for technical/professional personnel, $53.90 for managerial, and $22.72 for clerical. This accounts for paid leave, insurance, etc. The compensation rates were then adjusted by an overhead and profit rate of 167 percent. The final total wage rates are $77 for technical/professional personnel, $90 for management, and $38 for clerical.

(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup Costs Capital costs associated with this NESHAP result from having to conduct performance testing with portable analyzers. Capital costs are based on consultation with equipment vendors and industry experts. The cost of conducting performance testing is based on the cost of portable analyzer testing and is $1,000 per engine. Since in most cases only an initial performance test is required, it is expected that a testing firm will be conducting the performance test. The cost of testing is based on testing two engines where facilities have engines less than 500 HP for a reduction in cost of testing per engine. The testing cost is based on testing four engines where facilities have engines larger than 500 HP.

Owners and operators of emergency stationary engines are required to install a non-resettable hour meter to monitor the total number of hours operated. Information EPA has obtained indicates that an hour meter is typically included with the engine so no separate cost for the hour meter was estimated.

The cost of monitoring includes the purchase of a CPMS for non-emergency engines greater than 500 HP that have add-on controls to monitor the catalyst inlet temperature and pressure drop across the catalyst. The cost of purchasing a CPMS was obtained from vendor quotes and is $531 for a large engine facility.

The total capital costs for each year are shown in Tables 1 through 3. The total capital cost over the three year period is estimated to be $123,427,908 or an average of $41,114,636 per year.

**Costs per Respondent.

(iii) Total Operation and Maintenance Costs No costs were attributed to the requirement of following the manufacturer’s emission-related operation and maintenance requirements or the owner or operator’s own maintenance plan. It is expected that the majority of owners and operators are already following some type of O&M requirements and minimal to no additional burden is expected.

No annual operating and maintenance costs were estimated for the portable CO monitors since EPA expects that a testing firm will be conducting the initial performance test. Therefore, no O&M cost has been estimated for performance testing.

Beyond operating and maintaining the CPMS for engines subject to continuous monitoring of the catalyst pressure drop and catalyst inlet temperature, no additional cost was estimated for the CPMS. The total cost associated with the CPMS includes the annualized capital costs and the cost of labor. It is estimated that 30 hours per year is necessary to operate and maintain the CPMS and that 6 hours per year (or 0.5 hours per month) is needed to record information from the CPMS. It is assumed that all engines subject to continuous monitoring would be located at large engine facilities.

(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

Because the information collection requirements were developed as an incidental part of standards development, no costs can be attributed to the development of the information collection requirements. Because reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of the respondents are required under section 112 of the CAA, no operational costs will be incurred by the Federal government. Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents would occur incidentally as part of the periodic inspection of sources that is part of the EPA’s overall compliance and enforcement program and, therefore, is not attributable to the ICR.

The Agency burden and cost estimates include only those items where the government would incur additional costs as a result of the information collection. These costs include user costs associated with the review and analysis of the reported information. These are presented in Tables 4 through 6.

The hourly burden for review of reports was estimated based on assumptions made for previous rulemakings on what level of effort is involved in reviewing these types of reports. Labor rates for Federal employees are based on the January 2008, Office of Personnel Management pay rates for General Schedule employees (see http://www.opm.gov/oca/08tables/). The pay rates were multiplied by the standard government benefits multiplication factor of 1.6. The resulting average hourly labor costs are $50 for technical personnel, $83 for management, and $29 for clerical.

(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

The respondent universe was estimated through information available in the Power Systems Research’s (PSR) North American Engine PartsLink Database provided by the U.S. EPA Office of Transportation and Air Quality. It is estimated that 977,343 existing engines will be subject to requirements under this ICR annually. The total burden is calculated by adding the total technical, management, and clerical hours per year. The technical hours are calculated by multiplying the total hours per respondent by the number of respondents per year for each respondent activity. Management and clerical hours are assumed to be 5 percent and 10 percent of the technical hours, respectively.

The total cost is calculated by summing the labor, capital/startup, and O&M costs. With the exception of the costs for performance tests, the labor costs are determined by multiplying the total labor hours by the total wage rate for each labor category. The total capital/startup and O&M costs are calculated by multiplying the cost for each respondent by the number of respondents. Total cost is presented in the far right column of each table.

(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables

(i) Respondent Tally A breakdown for each of the collection, reporting, and recordkeeping activities required by the NESHAP is presented in Tables 1 through 3. The estimate of total annual hours requested from the respondents was based on the assumptions outlined in section 6(d) of this supporting statement. The EPA estimated the respondent burden by totaling the hours for the first 3 years after the implementation of the NESHAP for technical, managerial, and clerical staff at the facility, and then dividing that total by three to determine the average annualized burden. The 3-year summary results are presented in Table 7. The total number of responses for these respondents over the first 3 years after the implementation of the NESHAP is estimated to be 2,932,030, or an average of 977,343 per year. For the first 3 years after the implementation of the NESHAP, the EPA estimates that industry would expend 3,422,879 hours annually at a cost of $244,852,975 per year to meet the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. Note that the 3-year summary begins with the first year the rule becomes effective, i.e., 3 years after promulgation. In other words, year 1 for this ICR would be in 2012.

(ii) The Agency Tally A breakdown for each of the Agency activities required for the NESHAP is provided in Tables 4 through 6. The bottom line Agency burden hours and costs, presented in Table 8, are calculated by totaling the hours per year for technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and by totaling the cost column. The average annual burden is calculated by dividing the 3-year total by three. The estimated average annual burden, over the first 3 years, for the Agency would be 724,117 hours at a cost of $35,922,521 per year.

(iii) Variations in the Annual Bottom Line The total burden and cost estimates for the first 3 years after the NESHAP is promulgated are given in Tables 1 through 3 and Table 7. The variation in total activity and respondent burden and cost from year to year is shown in the tables. In years 1, 2, and 3, the total costs are $474,730,798; $129,914,063; and $129,914,063; respectively (see Tables 1 through 3 and 7). In the first year, 188,900 engines are reading instructions, submitting notifications of performance tests, notification of compliance, and semi-annual compliance reports, and conducting performance tests; 29,294 engines are monitoring the pressure drop across the catalyst and monitoring the catalyst inlet temperature; 788,443 emergency engines are keeping records of their hours of operation. In the second and third years, 188,900 engines are submitting semi-annual compliance reports, 29,294 are monitoring catalyst pressure drop and catalyst inlet temperature, and 788,443 emergency engines are keeping records of the hours of operation. Thus, the number of respondents, the respondent burden and respondent costs decrease after the first year.

The total number of agency hours for review of reports decreases since many engines will only have to conduct an initial performance test. Each year the agency must review semi-annual compliance reports, but notifications of performance tests and notifications of initial compliance will only be in year 1. The total number of agency hours for years 1, 2, and 3 are 1,737,882; 217,235; and 217,235, respectively. The corresponding agency costs for activities during these years are $86,214,049; $10,776,756; and $10,776,756 (see Table 8).

(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

This supporting statement addresses new information collection activities that would be imposed by the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE), 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ, to be revised in 2010.

(g) Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average about 2 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2005-0030, which is available for public viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC.
