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 RR. 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.
Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
There is an adjustment increase
in burden from the previous ICR, including increases in the
respondent labor hours, O&M cost, and number of responses. This
is due to an increase in the estimated number of sources subject to
the standard. In this ICR, we assume the industry continues to grow
at a rate of one new source per year. Additionally, there is a
small change in the assumption where we assume all existing sources
will need to re-familiarize with the regulatory requirements each
year. This change in assumption also contributes to the increase in
respondent labor hours.
