The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUUUU) apply to each individual or group of two or more new, reconstructed, or existing electric utility steam generating units (EGUs) within a contiguous area and under common control. An EGU is defined as a fossil fuel-fired combustion unit of more than 25 megawatts electric (MWe) that serves a generator that produces electricity for sale, or a fossil fuel-fired unit that cogenerates steam and electricity and supplies more than one-third of its potential electric output capacity and more than 25 MWe output to any utility power distribution system for sale. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. 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, Subpart UUUUU.

There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This change is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred due to more accurate estimates of existing and anticipated new sources. The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for subject new facilities. This includes purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance test(s) and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR, by in large, reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing sources; there are no new sources anticipated for the period of this ICR. Activities for existing sources include the continuous monitoring of pollutants and the submission of semiannual reports. Revisions to account for these changes in activity also reduce the estimated number of responses. The overall result is a decrease in burden hours and labor costs. However, there is an adjustment increase in the capital/start-up and O&M costs from the previous ICR. The prior ICR included capital/startup costs and O&M costs for new sources, but inadvertently removed O&M costs for existing sources. This ICR removes the capital/start-up costs for new sources, which reflects that activities that have been completed by respondents and no new respondents are anticipated for the period of this ICR. However, this ICR reincorporates O&M costs for existing respondents, which has an overall result of an increase in O&M costs and an overall increase in total (labor and O&M) costs.
