The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII) were proposed on July 11, 2005; promulgated on July 11, 2006; and revised on November 13, 2019, and August 10, 2022.
The amendments mainly add electronic reporting provisions to the rule. In general, the changes do not result in regulated entities needing to submit anything additional electronically that is not currently submitted via paper copies, and this is therefore expected to lessen recordkeeping and reporting burden. This supporting statement addresses incremental information collection activities that will be imposed by the amendments to the NSPS for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines.
These regulations apply to manufacturers, owners, and operators of new stationary compression ignition (CI) internal combustion engines (ICE). New facilities include those that either commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. For the purposes of this subpart, the date that construction commences is the date the engine is ordered by the owner or operator. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII.
In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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 notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the NSPS.
Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements and retain the file for at least two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. As a result of the amendments, all reports required to be submitted electronically are submitted through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), using the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI), where the delegated state or local authority can review them. If there is no such delegated authority, the EPA regional office can review them. All other reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. If there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPAs regional offices. The use of the term "Designated Administrator" throughout this document refers to the U.S. EPA or a delegated authority such as a state agency. The term "Administrator" alone refers to the U.S. EPA Administrator.
The Affected Public include manufacturers, owners, and operators of stationary CI ICE units. The burden to the Affected Public may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost NSPS for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII) (Amendments). The burden to the Federal Government is attributed entirely to work performed by either Federal employees or government contractors and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost NSPS for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII). There are an average of 207,360 CI ICE facilities per year, which are owned and operated by either industry, state, local, or tribal governments. We assume that they will all respond to EPA inquiries.
There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated non-labor costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. In terms of the change in burden due to the addition of electronic reporting requirements to the NSPS for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII), the result is an average annual reduction in burden for respondents over the three years of this ICR of 95,278 hours per year and a reduction in cost for the three years of this ICR of $11,688,145 per year. The average annual reduction in cost for the three years of this ICR is approximately $56.37 per year per respondent.
