The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40
CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPPP) was proposed on May 14, 2002, and
promulgated on May 27, 2003. These regulations apply to any new or
reconstructed engine test cells/stands located at major source
facilities that are being used for testing internal combustion
engines. An engine test cell/stand is any apparatus used for
testing uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile (motive)
engines. A plant site that is a major source of hazardous air
pollutant (HAP) emissions emits or has the potential to emit any
single HAP at a rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year
or any combination of HAPs at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams)
or more per year. New or reconstructed sources must be in
compliance with the requirements of the engine test cells/stands
NESHAP upon startup. New facilities include those that commenced
construction, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
Part 63, Subpart PPPPP. In general, all NESHAP standards require
initial notification reports, 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 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
regional office.
There is a decrease of 1,324
hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the
ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to the
correction of two errors. First, in the previous ICR, it was
assumed that performance evaluation reports would be submitted
every five years. However, performance evaluations are only
conducted initially, when new facilities first needed to
demonstrate compliance with the standard. Since there will be no
new or reconstructed sources over the next three years, performance
evaluations are not required. Second, in the previous ICR, it was
assumed that one out of the eighteen sources would write an annual
deviation report. However, deviations are reported as part of the
semiannual compliance status report; separate reports are not
required. As a result of these two corrections, there is an overall
decrease in the estimated burden cost as currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens.
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.
