The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40
CFR part 63, subpart PPPPP) apply to any existing, new, or
reconstructed engine test cells/stands located at major source
facilities that are used for testing internal combustion engines.
An engine test cell/stand is defined as any apparatus used for
testing uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile (motive)
engines. A plant site is a major source of hazardous air pollutant
(HAP) emissions if it emits or has the potential to emit any single
HAP at a rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year or any
combination of HAPs at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more
per year. New and reconstructed facilities include those that
commenced construction or reconstruction after May 14, 2002 (the
date the NESHAP was proposed). In general, all NESHAP standards
require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic
reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPP and must be
maintained for at least 5 years from the date on which it was
generated. Currently, the NESHAP also requires owners/operators to
maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup,
shutdown, or malfunction (SSM) in the operation of an affected
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is
inoperative. However, the EPA is proposing amendments to the rule
that would eliminate the SSM exemption; remove the SSM plan and SSM
recordkeeping requirements; and require electronic submittal of
performance test results.
This ICR is prepared for
amendments to the NESHAP for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40 CFR part
63, subpart PPPPP). These amendments would: (1) revise provisions
in the NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY) to remove the SSM
exemption and SSM plan; and (2) require electronic submittal of
performance test results.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(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
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
