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 an overall increase in burden and cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The increase is not due to program changes; rather, it occurred because of an estimated increase in the total number of sources subject to the rule since the last ICR renewal. EPA estimates a linear growth in the industry sector with an additional of 1,284 new sources per year that become subject to the NESHAP.
