The final rule allows source owners and operators to petition the Administrator for an extension of the regulatory deadline to conduct performance tests during force majeure events. A force majeure event is an event caused by circumstances beyond the control of the affected facility, its contractors, or any entity controlled by the affected facility that prevents the owner or operator from complying with the regulatory requirement to conduct performance tests within the specified timeframe despite the affected faciltiy's best efforts to fulfill the obligation. Examples of such events are acts of nature, acts of war or terrorism, or equipment failure or safety hazard beyond the control of the affected facility. Source owners and operators must provide a written description of the event and measures taken to minimize the delay to the EPA for approval.
Potential respondents are owners or operators who are required to conduct stack testing to demonstrate compliance with applicable standards under the Consolidated Federal Air Rule (40 CFR Part 65). The potential respondents under the final rule included only owners or operators who are required to conduct stack testing to demonstrate compliance with applicable standards under the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (40 CFR Part 60), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (40 CFR Part 61), and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories (40 CFR Part 63). There is no change in the currently approved burden because these requirements serve as an alternative to those included under the previous ICR.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
