The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Industrial, Commercial, and
Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters apply to existing and new
industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process
heaters located at major sources of HAP. In general, all NESHAP
standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and
periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR
Part 63, DDDDD).
There is an adjustment increase
in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any
program changes. The change in burden and cost estimates occurred
because there is continued growth for certain subcategories of
equipment subject to the standard. In addition, the standards have
been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are
different during initial compliance (new facilities) as compared to
on-going compliance (existing facilities). The previous ICR
reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial
activities for subject facilities and provided for the timeframe
for existing facilities to come into compliance prior to January
31, 2016. This included purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting
initial performance tests, and establishing recordkeeping systems.
This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing
facilities. Activities for existing sources include annual testing,
continuous monitoring of pollutants, and the submission of
semiannual, biennial, or five-year reports, as determined for each
subcategory. There is an adjustment decrease in the number of
responses as compared with the previous ICR. This decrease is a
result of removing some of the one-time response requirements for
existing sources that have already met the initial compliance
requirements. There is an overall increase in the total
capital/startup and annual operation and maintenance costs compared
with the previous ICR. These changes assume all existing sources
have met the initial requirements of the rule. In addition, there
are a small number of new facilities that are in the initial
compliance phase described above.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies

1320.8(b)(3).
