The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters apply to existing and new industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters located at major sources of HAP. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, DDDDD).
There is growth in portions of this industry (biomass-fired and gas-fired boilers), but decreases in other portions of the industry (coal-fired and liquid-fired boilers) due to shutdowns. The number of existing large solid-fired (coal and biomass) boilers, existing large liquid-fired boilers, existing large Gas 2 boilers, and new large biomass boilers were updated using CEDRI December 2020 data and the data collected during the proposed rule. These changes have resulted in an overall increase in the number of respondents. These changes have also resulted in decreases in the overall capital/startup or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, as the majority of new sources (gas-fired boilers) have no capital/startup costs. Also, the regulations have not changed over the past three years. An amendment to these regulations was proposed in 2020, but has not been finalized. Changes in burden due to that amendment have not been included in this ICR. One minor error in the calculations for the previously-approved ICR (2028.09) has been corrected. The number of existing and small limited use solid fuel units conducting a biennial tune-up has been adjusted to account for the correct number of average annual respondents expected.
