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 Ec. 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 an overall increase in
burden in this ICR from the most recently approved ICR. This is due
to an increase in the estimated number of sources subject to the
regulation, and is not caused by program changes. We estimate the
industry will continue to grow at the rate of one new source per
year. This results in increases in the respondent labor hours,
number of responses, and capital/O&M costs.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
