The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Industrial, Commercial, and
Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters apply to existing and new
industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process
heaters located at major sources of HAP. In general, all NESHAP
standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and
periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining compliance, and are
required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any
owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at
least five years following the date of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the
delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no
such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office.
There is an increase in the
respondent burden and a decrease in the Agency burden in this ICR
compared to the previous ICR. The change in the burden and cost
estimates occurred because the previous ICR estimated the burden
for the proposed rule. This ICR updates the burden estimates to
reflect the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of the 2013
final reconsideration, which has been in effect for one year. We
estimate that a portion of the existing sources have already
complied with the initial requirements of the rule, and that all
existing sources will comply by Year 2 of this ICR period (i.e. 3
years after rule promulgation). Additionally, this ICR uses updated
labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate all
burden 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
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
