The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coal-and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUUUU) were proposed on May 3, 2011, and promulgated on February 16, 2012. The rule was subsequently amended on: March 24, 2015 (80 FR 15510); April 6, 2016 (81 FR 20172); and April 6, 2017 (82 FR 16736). This proposed amendment supersedes previous temporary reporting requirements and consolidates electronic reporting through the Emissions Collection and Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS) Client Tool. These regulations apply to each individual or group of two or more new, reconstructed, or existing electric utility steam generating units (EGUs) within a contiguous area and under common control. An EGU is defined as a fossil fuel-fired combustion unit of more than 25 megawatts electric (MWe) that serves a generator that produces electricity for sale, or a fossil fuel-fired unit that cogenerates steam and electricity and supplies more than one-third of its potential electric output capacity and more than 25 MWe output to any utility power distribution system for sale. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUUUU.

There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This reduction in reporting burden is due to the revision and streamlining of electronic data reporting requirements and the use of updated affected unit counts. This amendment requires the use of one electronic reporting system instead of the two previous system while increasing data transparency providing enhanced access to submitted data. The change in affected unit counts occurred due to more accurate estimates of existing and anticipated new sources. The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for subject new facilities. This includes purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance test(s) and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR, by in large, reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing sources; there are no new sources anticipated for the period of this ICR. Activities for existing sources include the continuous monitoring of pollutants and the submission of semiannual reports. Revisions to account for these changes in activity also reduce the estimated number of responses. The overall result is a decrease in burden hours and labor costs.
