The respondents to the information collection are owners or operators of facilities subject to the stationary combustion turbine NESHAP. The information is requested by the agency to determine compliance with the rule. The information will then be used by enforcement agencies to verify that sources subject to the standard are meeting the emission reductions mandated by the Clean Air Act.
The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to a change in the regulation. On August 18, 2004 (69 FR 51184), the EPA stayed the effectiveness of this standard for gas fired turbines. As a result, only new oil fired turbines located at major HAP sources are subject to emission standards under Subpart YYYY at this time. We do not expect new standards for the gas fired units under this standard to be promulgated within the next three years. However, new gas fired units are required to submit a one-time initial notification.
The change in the Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs, as calculated in section 6(b)(iii), also decreased as a result of the regulatory change on August 18, 2004.
