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 Y. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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 are also required semiannually.
There is an adjustment increase in the respondent labor hours due to a change in assumption. In this ICR, we assume all existing sources will take some time each year to re-familiarize themselves with the regulatory requirements. In addition, there is a decrease in cost and number of responses due to a reduction in the estimated number of sources subject to the regulation. The previous ICR estimated that five new sources per year will be constructed such that they will become subject to the regulation. In consultation with OAQPS for the renewal of this ICR, we believe there will not be any net growth over the next three years. As such, no sources will incur burden associated with initial notifications and performance testing. This results in a decrease in capital cost and number of responses.
