The affected entities are subject to
the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR
part 60, subpart Dc. Owners or operators of the affected facilities
must submit a one-time-only report of any physical or operational
changes, initial 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 adjustment increase
in the respondent and Agency burden from the most recently approved
ICR due to an increase in the number of new or modified sources.
This ICR assumes an industry growth rate of 11 respondents per
year, which results in an average increase of 33 respondents since
the last ICR renewal period. The industry growth also results in an
increase in O&M costs. In addition, this ICR corrects the
number of new sources that are expected to use COMS for PM
monitoring, which results in an increase in capital costs.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
