The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart A, and to the provisions at 40 CFR Part 61, Subparts L and Y. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time only report of any physical or operational changes, initial performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators 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. Reports are required quarterly or semiannually at a minimum.
There is a small adjustment increase in the respondent labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The increase is due to a change in Agency assumption in calculating labor hours; this ICR assumes all sources will take time to re-familiarize with the regulation each year. This results in a small overall increase in burden.
