The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPPP) was proposed on May 14, 2002, and promulgated on May 27, 2003. These regulations apply to any new or reconstructed engine test cells/stands located at major source facilities that are being used for testing internal combustion engines. An engine test cell/stand is any apparatus used for testing uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile (motive) engines. A plant site that is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year or any combination of HAPs at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year. New or reconstructed sources must be in compliance with the requirements of the engine test cells/stands NESHAP upon startup. New facilities include those that commenced construction, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPPP.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notification reports, 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 NESHAP.
Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
There is a decrease of 1,324 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to the correction of two errors. First, in the previous ICR, it was assumed that performance evaluation reports would be submitted every five years. However, performance evaluations are only conducted initially, when new facilities first needed to demonstrate compliance with the standard. Since there will be no new or reconstructed sources over the next three years, performance evaluations are not required. Second, in the previous ICR, it was assumed that one out of the eighteen sources would write an annual deviation report. However, deviations are reported as part of the semiannual compliance status report; separate reports are not required. As a result of these two corrections, there is an overall decrease in the estimated burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens.
