The affected entities are subject to
the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR
part 63, subpart YYYY. Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and
periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also required
to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup,
shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility,
or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative.
Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
There is an increase of 903
hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the
ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to several
adjustments. First, we have revised the number of respondents to
make ICR estimates consistent with the economic impact analysis,
which contains the most recent information on existing and new
sources. Based on the analysis, an average of 96 existing and 8.7
new sources per year will be subject to the standard. In contrast,
the most recently approved ICR estimated 22 existing and 9 new
sources per year, and did not provide a clear basis for its
estimates and underlying assumptions. The increase in labor burden
and cost for both respondents and the Agency is primarily due to
the revised number of sources, particularly existing sources which
accounts for industry growth. Second, we have revised respondent
and Agency labor burdens and costs so that they accurately reflect
the reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with each
subcategory. The previous ICR only reflected burdens attributed to
new sources in the gas-fired and oil-fired subcategories, and did
not account for any sources in the landfill/digester gas-fired
subcategory. Specific revisions that contributed to overall burden
increases include: o Adding a burden item for initial CMS
performance evaluations for new sources in the oil-fired
subcategory. The previous ICR did not account for this burden. o
Adding a burden item for annual compliance reporting for new
sources in the landfill/digester gas-fired subcategory. The
previous ICR did not account for this burden. o Correcting the
semiannual compliance reporting burden to include burden to
existing sources. o Adding an Agency burden item for compliance
status notification review. The previous ICR presented a respondent
burden for this activity, but neglected to include a corresponding
Agency review burden. Finally, there is an increase in the
capital/startup cost as compared to the previous ICR. This increase
is the result of including contractor labor associated with
catalyst inlet temperature monitor installation. This labor was
presented in the previous ICR as a respondent burden rather than a
capital cost. Since the contractor labor applies solely to a
capital/startup activity, it should be presented it as a
capital/startup cost rather than a respondent burden. We also have
updated the labor rates to reflect current private-industry
rates.
