ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0640; FRL-10380-01-OMS]


Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Engine Test Cells/Stands 
(Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Engine Test Cells/
Stands (EPA ICR Number 2066.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0483), to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed 
extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through February 28, 
2025. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal 
Register, on February 8, 2021 during a 60-day comment period. This 
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller 
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden 
and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and 
a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before November 28, 
2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OAR-2020-0640, to EPA online using https://www.regulations.gov/ (our

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart PPPPP) apply to any existing, new, or reconstructed engine test 
cells/stands located at major source facilities that are used for 
testing internal combustion engines. Owners and operators of engine 
test cells/stands are required to comply with reporting and record 
keeping requirements for the general provisions of 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart A, as well as the applicable specific standards in 40 CFR part 
63 Subpart PPPPP. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial 
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/
operators of the affected facilities. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart PPPPP and must be maintained for at least 5 years from the date 
on which it was generated.
    Form Numbers: 5900-523.
    Respondents/affected entities: Engine test cells/stands.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart PPPPP).
    Estimated number of respondents: 8 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 830 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $101,000 (per year), which includes $2,400 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. The regulations were previously amended in a Risk 
and Technology Review (RTR) on June 3, 2020 at 85 FR 34326. The change 
in the burden and cost estimates in this ICR occurred because the 
revised standard has been in effect for 1.5 years and the requirements 
are different during initial compliance (new facilities) as compared to 
on-going compliance (existing facilities). The previous ICR (2066.09) 
reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial 
activities for those facilities subject to the June 3, 2020 final rule. 
This ICR (2066.10) reflects the ongoing burden and costs for existing 
facilities. The final rule amendments eliminated the SSM exemption, 
removed the SSM plan and SSM recordkeeping requirements, and required 
electronic submittal of performance test results. This ICR adjusts the 
burden, following the June 3, 2020 final rule, to reflect the current 
number of entities anticipated to be subject to the rule, and assumes 
the one new source identified in the RTR has already complied with the 
initial notification and testing requirements, resulting in a decrease 
in the capital/startup costs. This ICR retains the assumption in the 
final rule ICR that two new sources will submit an initial notification 
over the next three years, but will not be subject to emission limits, 
performance testing, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. No new 
sources that would be subject to the emission limits, performance 
testing, recordkeeping and reporting requirements are anticipated 
during the three-year period of this ICR.
