Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPP) apply to any existing, new, or reconstructed engine test cells/stands located at major source facilities that are used for testing internal combustion engines. An engine test cell/stand is defined as any apparatus used for testing uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile (motive) engines. A plant site is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions if it 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 and reconstructed facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after May 14, 2002 (the date the NESHAP was proposed). In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPP and must be maintained for at least 5 years from the date on which it was generated. Currently, the NESHAP also requires owners/operators to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction (SSM) in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. However, the EPA is finalizing amendments to the rule that eliminate the SSM exemption; remove the SSM plan and SSM recordkeeping requirements; and require electronic submittal of performance test results.

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: This ICR is prepared for amendments to the NESHAP for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPP). These amendments: (1) revise provisions in the NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY) to remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan; and (2) require electronic submittal of performance test results. The number of sources subject to the standards decreased based on a review of facilities included in EPAs ECHO database, review of available operating permits, and consultation with industry representatives and state/local agencies. The burden estimate for submitting performance test reports was not adjusted to account for the new requirement that reports be submitted electronically through CEDRI using the ERT. We consider the burden estimate in the current ICR for submittal of performance test results is an appropriate estimate for electronic submittal of these reports. The removal of the SSM requirements is expected to reduce the reporting burden because sources are no longer be required to prepare SSM plans (required under (40 CFR 63.6(e)(3)) and maintain separate records of SSM events.
