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.
There is an adjustment increase
in the total estimated labor hour burden as currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens because the required
number of sources subject to this subpart is now fully implemented.
It should be noted that the increase is not due to any program
changes. The previous ICR covered the initial phase of standard
implementation which occurred over a three-year period. Hence, the
average number of respondents during the initial phase is less than
the number of respondents when the standard is fully implemented.
This ICR shows the labor hour and cost burden after full
implementation. In the previous ICR burden was attributed to
private sector, state governments and Federal government
respondents. This was corrected in this ICR renewal as all of the
respondent burden applies to only the private sector.
