The affected entities are subject to
the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A,
and any changes or additions to the Provisions are specified at 40
CFR part 60, subpart DDDD. Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and
periodic reports and results. Owners and 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. Reports are required semiannually at a
minimum.
The change in the burden and
cost estimates occurred because the standard has been in effect for
more than three years and the requirements are different during
initial compliance as compared to on-going compliance. The previous
ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial
activities for subject facilities. This includes purchasing
monitoring equipment, conducting performance tests and establishing
recordkeeping systems. This ICR, by in large, reflects the on-going
burden and costs for existing facilities. Activities for existing
source include continuously monitoring of pollutants and the
submission of annual performance test results and semiannual
reports of exceedances. The overall result is a decrease in burden
hours and labor costs. However, there is an increase in the total
O&M costs as this ICR reflects the burden associated with
annual performance testing requirement of the Emission Guidelines.
In addition to the changes above, this ICR revises the number of
respondents using the latest Agency estimates, and corrects the
number of responses as the previous ICR incorrectly included
internal records as a response. This attributes to a decrease in
the number of respondents and number of responses.
