Abstract: The information will be used by the EPA to identify HMIWI 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.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The reduction in labor burden from the most recently approved ICR is primarily due to a decrease in the number of sources and applicable burden items and hours. Unlike the previous ICR, this ICR does not cover the 1997 NSPS sources, but leaves them instead to the ICR for the revised emission guidelines (EPA ICR number 2335.02). This ICR covers only the three new sources projected to be installed during the first 3 years after proposal of the revised NSPS. The decrease in the number of sources offsets any increase in burden associated with the new requirements in the revised NSPS (e.g., fugitive ash emission tests and control equipment inspections for all new sources). However, the resulting reduction in labor costs is more than offset by the increase in annual capital/startup and O&M costs, which is a result of the increased monitoring and testing activity that would be necessary under the revisions to the NSPS.
