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 finalizing amendments to the rule
that 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: (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. The number of sources subject to the standards
decreased based on a review of facilities included in EPAs ECHO
database, review of available operating permits, and consultation
with industry representatives and state/local agencies. The burden
estimate for submitting performance test reports was not adjusted
to account for the new requirement that reports be submitted
electronically through CEDRI using the ERT. We consider the burden
estimate in the current ICR for submittal of performance test
results is an appropriate estimate for electronic submittal of
these reports. The removal of the SSM requirements is expected to
reduce the reporting burden because sources are no longer be
required to prepare SSM plans (required under (40 CFR 63.6(e)(3))
and maintain separate records of SSM events.
