The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO. 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.
There is an increase in the respondent burden from the most recently approved ICR. This increase is not due to any program changes. The previous ICR reflected burdens and costs associated with initial activities for subject facilities, including performance testing and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR accounts for the additional burden incurred by existing sources that must conduct five-year performance testing during this ICR period. This ICR also reflects an increase in the total number of respondents due to industry growth. The overall result is an increase in total burden hours and costs.
EPA has also updated the capital/startup and O&M costs to reflect the additional costs incurred by existing sources that must conduct five year performance tests. This adjustment resulted in an overall increase in the total capital/startup and O&M cost.
There is a decrease in Agency burden from the most recently approved ICR. The previous ICR's burden calculations largely overestimated the number of existing sources submitting performance test reports to EPA. We have adjusted the number of sources accordingly. This adjustment resulted in the overall decrease in the Agency burden.
