The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHH.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or 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, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
There is a small adjustment decrease in burden from the previous ICR because we have modified the calculation methodology associated with the five-year repeat performance test requirement. The previous ICR assumed all 14 sources will have to conduct the performance test during the ICR renewal period. Since this requirement only occurs once every five years, we have revised the estimates to reflect this frequency: (14 sources) / (5 years) = 2.8 sources per year. This results in a decrease in the respondent burden.
There is also an increase of six responses due to a correction. The previous ICR did not account for the five-year performance test notifications and reports in calculating the number of responses.
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).
