Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A and 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A), as well as for the specific requirements at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart NNN and 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart PPP. This includes submitting initial notification reports, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining 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 standards.

Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a net adjustment decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR due to more accurate estimates of existing sources. The industry trade organization North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) commented in response to consultation that an estimate of five facilities subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart NNN is more accurate than the previous estimate, while the previous estimate of facilities subject to Subpart PPP is increasing by one due to construction of a new facility. The labor cost per facility has increased due to updated labor rates from the most-recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (September 2021). There is a net adjustment decrease in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs as calculated in section 6(b)(iii) compared with the costs in the previous ICR, due to the decreased number of respondents subject to Subpart NNN based on the information provided by NAIMA. This offsets the increase in capital and O&M costs due to the addition of one facility subject to Subpart PPP. This ICR also includes an adjustment decrease in the annual estimated hours to familiarize with regulatory requirements (Table 1b) to align with the typical time required for existing respondents to refamiliarize themselves with the NESHAP regulations each year.
