Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) were proposed on December 19, 2002: promulgated on June 15, 2004; and revised on: June 26, 2006; January 18, 2008; January 30, 2013; and February 27, 2014, and August 10, 2022. The proposed amendments mainly add electronic reporting provisions to the rule. In general, the changes do not result in regulated entities needing to submit anything additional electronically that is not currently submitted via paper copies, and this is therefore expected to lessen recordkeeping and reporting burden. This supporting statement addresses incremental information collection activities that will be imposed by the amendments to the NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines. These regulations apply to owners and operators of a stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) at either a major or area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions, except if the stationary RICE is being tested at a stationary RICE test cell/stand. A stationary RICE is any internal combustion engine which uses reciprocating motion to convert heat energy into mechanical work and which is not mobile. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an update to labor rates to match June 2022 rates from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, and an increase in the number of respondents since the last ICR Renewal. EPA estimates a linear growth in the industry sector with an additional 1,374 new sources per year that become subject to this NESHAP. The capital/startup and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs have increased compared with the costs in the previous ICR due to an increase in the number of existing sources operating portable CO monitors, escalating the O&M costs of CO monitors from $2007 to $2021, and escalating the O&M costs of small and large CPMS from $2007 to $2021. In terms of the change in burden due to the proposed addition of electronic reporting requirements to the NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ), the result is an average annual reduction in burden for respondents over the three years of this ICR of 61,799 hours per year and an average reduction in cost for the three years of this ICR of $7,581,151 per year. The average annual reduction in cost for the three years of this ICR is approximately $8.28 per year per respondent.
