Abstract: Owners and operators of affected onshore natural gas processing plants are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A), as well as for the specific requirements at 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts KKK and LLL. 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. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these same standards

Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the number of respondents subject to these requirements has decreased as those respondents modify their sources and become subject to another NSPS standard. As sources subject to NSPS Subparts KKK and LLL modify, they become subject to NSPS Subpart OOOOa and cease being subject to NSPS Subparts KKK and LLL. There is also a decrease in the estimated number of respondents subject to NSPS Subpart LLL. This is due to a re-examination of the Agencys ECHO database of sources subject to Subpart LLL with a NAICS code of 211130 (natural gas extraction) and reporting SO2 emissions.
