The respondents to this information
collection are owners or operators of existing spark ignition (SI)
engines that have a site rating of less than or equal to 500 brake
hp and located at major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP)
and existing stationary SI engines located at area sources of HAP
emissions. The information is requested by the Agency to determine
compliance with the rule. The information will then be used by
enforcement agencies to verify that sources subject to the
standards are meeting the emission reductions mandated by the Clean
Air Act (CAA). Other sizes/types of stationary reciprocating
internal combustion engines (RICE) have been regulated under
previous actions. Thus, this final action fulfills the requirements
of section 112 of the CAA, which requires EPA to promulgate
standards for stationary RICE, by adding requirements for the
remaining engines.
There is an overall increase in
burden and cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The
increase is not due to program changes; rather, it occurred because
of an estimated increase in the total number of sources subject to
the rule since the last ICR renewal. EPA estimates a linear growth
in the industry sector with an additional of 1,284 new sources per
year that become subject to the NESHAP.
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).

(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
