The respondents to this information collection are owners or operators of existing spark ignition (SI) engines that have a site rating of less than or equal to 500 brake hp and located at major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and existing stationary SI engines located at area sources of HAP emissions. 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 standards are meeting the emission reductions mandated by the Clean Air Act (CAA). Other sizes/types of stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) have been regulated under previous actions. Thus, this final action fulfills the requirements of section 112 of the CAA, which requires EPA to promulgate standards for stationary RICE, by adding requirements for the remaining engines.
There is a decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The decrease is a result of merging the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the initial and amendment NESHAP and removing any duplicative burden items. This ICR combines the original final rule and the 2006, 2008, and 2010 amendments, which were previously covered under EPA ICR Number 1975.04, 1975.05, 1975.06, 1975.07, and 1975.08. In addition, this ICR incorporates the requirements for emergencies engines as set forth in the January 2013 Final Rule amendment. This results in several changes in the total estimated burden and costs.
