The National Emissions Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Industrial, Commercial And
Institutional Boilers Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJJJJ)
are being finalized. The information collection activities in this
information collection request (ICR) include initial and annual
stack tests, fuel analyses, operating parameter monitoring, annual
tune-ups, energy audits, one-time and periodic reports, and
maintenance of records. Varying levels of requirements apply to
each subcategory. The Boilers NESHAP contains 12 subcategories:
existing large solid fuel-fired units, existing large liquid
fuel-fired units, existing large gaseous fuel-fired units, new
large solid fuel-fired units, new large liquid fuel-fired units,
new large gaseous fuel-fired units, existing small solid fuel-fired
units, existing small liquid fuel-fired units, existing small
gaseous fuel-fired units, new small solid fuel-fired units, new
small liquid fuel-fired units, and new small gaseous fuel-fired
units. All sources will also have to keep records of all reports
submitted, start-up, shutdown, and malfunctions, performance tests
or other compliance demonstrations, operating limits, fuel use and
hours of operation. The information collection activities will
enable EPA to determine initial and continuous compliance with
emission standards for regulated pollutants, and ensure that
facilities conduct proper planning, operation, and unit
maintenance.
