Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Combustion Turbines were proposed on January 14, 2003, promulgated on March 5, 2004, and last amended on April 20, 2006. The regulations apply to any existing, new, or reconstructed stationary combustion turbine located at a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New stationary combustion turbines are defined as sources that commenced construction after January 14, 2003. On August 18, 2004, the standards were amended to stay the effectiveness for new lean pre-mix gas-fired turbines and diffusion flame gas-fired turbines due to a petition to delist new gas-fired turbines). Under the stay, new and reconstructed sources in either subcategory that are constructed or reconstructed after January 14, 2003, are required to submit initial notification reports, but are relieved of the obligation to comply with other reporting or monitoring requirements. Amendments to the NESHAP are being proposed as a result of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA) (as discussed further below). This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYY. In general, NESHAP require initial notifications, submission of performance test results, 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. The proposed amendments to the rule eliminate the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan and SSM recordkeeping requirements; require electronic submittal of performance test results; lift the stay on lean premix gas-fired turbines and diffusion flame gas-fired turbines; and make miscellaneous technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged..

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to several adjustments. First, adjustments have been made to reflect the proposed lifting of the stay on natural gas-fired turbines, which is shown as a change due to agency actions. Second, we have revised the number of respondents to reflect the most recent information on existing and new sources. The number of oil-fired and landfill gas-fired sources were found to have decreased since the last ICR, which caused a reduction in the annual number of responses and time burden. Third, there is an increase in the capital/startup cost shown in the annual cost burden. This increase is the result of including contractor labor associated with performance testing, which was not accounted for in the previous ICR. As this change affects both the previously-stayed gas-fired units and new oil-fired units, the increase is attributed partially to agency actions and partially to revised estimates. We also have updated the labor rates to reflect current private-industry rates. Finally, this ICR estimate has been calculated at the facility level, where as the previous ICR was calculated at the turbine unit level.
