The affected entities are subject to
the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart
JJJJ. 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 are required
semiannually at a minimum.
The increase in burden from the
most recently-approved ICR is due to adjustments in the number of
new or modified sources and updated labor rates. This ICR accounts
for the industry growth since the last ICR renewal period and uses
updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to
calculate burden costs. Additionally, the capital/startup and
O&M costs as calculated in section 6(b)(iii) have been
corrected to reflect initial performance tests as a one-time
capital/startup costs, rather than ongoing O&M costs. This
results in an increase in capital costs, and a corresponding
decrease in O&M costs.
