The affected entities are subject to
the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR
Part 60, Subpart OOO. 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.
There is an increase in the
respondent burden from the most recently approved ICR. This
increase is not due to any program changes. The previous ICR
reflected burdens and costs associated with initial activities for
subject facilities, including performance testing and establishing
recordkeeping systems. This ICR accounts for the additional burden
incurred by existing sources that must conduct five-year
performance testing during this ICR period. This ICR also reflects
an increase in the total number of respondents due to industry
growth. The overall result is an increase in total burden hours and
costs. EPA has also updated the capital/startup and O&M costs
to reflect the additional costs incurred by existing sources that
must conduct five year performance tests. This adjustment resulted
in an overall increase in the total capital/startup and O&M
cost. There is a decrease in Agency burden from the most recently
approved ICR. The previous ICR's burden calculations largely
overestimated the number of existing sources submitting performance
test reports to EPA. We have adjusted the number of sources
accordingly. This adjustment resulted in the overall decrease in
the Agency burden.
