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 SS. Owners or operators of the affected facilities
must make an initial notification, performance tests, periodic
reports, and 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 also required semiannually.
There is a small increase in
the total estimated respondent burden and cost compared with the
ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to assuming
that all existing respondents will need to spend some time
reviewing the rule requirement each year to re-familiarize
themselves with it. In previous ICRs, it was assumed that only new
respondents would need to read and review the rule requirement. In
addition, a portion of the increase in burden cost is due to using
updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
