The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart EE.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial notification, 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, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment in labor rates and updated assumptions used to estimate technical hours per year. This ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs.
In addition to updated labor rates, there is an update to the assumptions used to estimate technical hours per year for the calculated burden costs. In the previous ICR, it was assumed that the per respondent burden hour for each activity accounts for technical, managerial, and clerical hours. In order to have consistency in the burden calculations in the ICR renewal process, this ICR assumes the per respondent burden hour accounts for technical hours only. This results in a slight increase in burden hours and costs for both the respondents and the Agency.
