NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ) (Amendments)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

      1(a) Title of the Information Collection

NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ) (Amendments), EPA ICR Number 2227.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0610. 

1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

      The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ) were proposed on June 12, 2006, promulgated on January 18, 2008, and revised on 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 NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines.
      
      These regulations apply to existing and new manufacturers, owners, and operators of stationary spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engines (ICE) that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction either on or after the dates specified at 40 CFR 60.4230(a)(1)-(6). 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 60, Subpart JJJJ.

      In general, all NSPS 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least two years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. As a result of the proposed amendments, all reports required to be submitted electronically are submitted through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), using the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI), where the delegated state or local authority can review them. If there is no such delegated authority, the EPA regional office can review them. All other reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. If there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional offices. The use of the term "Designated Administrator" throughout this document refers to the U.S. EPA or a delegated authority, such as a state agency. The term "Administrator" alone refers to the U.S. EPA Administrator.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The "Affected Public" include manufacturers, owners, and operators of stationary SI ICE units. The `burden' to the Affected Public may be found at the end of this document in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ). The Federal Government's `burden' is attributed entirely to work performed by either Federal employees or government contractors and may be found at the end of this document in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ). 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Over the next three years, an average of 19,582 existing respondents per year will be subject to these standards, and 253 additional new respondents per year will become subject to these same standards. This ICR reflects an increase in the number of existing respondents from the prior ICR based on continued growth in the manufacturing and use of SI ICE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The "burden" to the regulated community may be found in section 6(f) below. The proposed cost of this ICR to sources that are impacted by proposed addition of electronic reporting requirements, as compared to the same time period without electronic reporting requirements being included in JJJJ, is ($140,379) per year if averaged over the first 3 years after the amendments are final. The total Agency cost during the first 3 years of the ICR is estimated to be ($82,218) per year, again compared to the same time period without electronic reporting requirements being included in JJJJ. Parentheses indicate negative values, i.e., a cost savings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active ICR without any "Terms of Clearance". 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Need for and Use of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The EPA is charged under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            . . . application of the best technological system of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Agency refers to this charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology (BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every eight years. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In the Administrator's judgment, nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC), and volatile organic compound (VOC)  emissions from SI ICE either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and/or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in these standards ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility's initial capability to comply with the emission standards. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The notifications required in these standards are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of these regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated, leaks are being detected and repaired, and that these standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The required annual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
      Additionally, via these proposed amendments, the EPA would require electronic reporting for certain notifications and reports. The EPA would require that owners or operators of affected sources would submit electronic copies of initial notifications and annual reports through the EPA's CDX, using CEDRI. For annual reports, EPA has developed templates for the reporting form in CEDRI specifically for 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ. 
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The EPA would also require that 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ performance tests be developed through the EPA's Electronic reporting Tool (ERT) and submitted through CEDRI.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(a) Non-duplication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       For reports proposed to be required to be submitted electronically, the information is sent through the EPA's CDX, using CEDRI, where the appropriate EPA regional office can review it, as well as for state and local agencies that have been delegated authority. If a state or local agency has adopted under its own authority its own standards for reporting or data collection, adherence to those non-Federal requirements does not constitute duplication. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      For all other reports, if the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or local agency. If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by these Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A public notice of this collection is provided in the Federal Register notice of proposed rulemaking entitled, "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines and New Source Performance Standards: Internal Combustion Engines; Electronic Reporting Amendments." 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(c) Consultations

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth for this source sector. The primary source of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in these standards, has been the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). ICIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency's internal industry experts and has been assumed to be linear for the purposes of this supporting statement. An average of 19,835 respondents per year will be subject to these standards over the three-year period covered by this ICR. This ICR reflects an increase in the number of existing respondents from the prior ICR based on continued growth in the manufacturing and use of SI ICE.

      In developing this ICR, we are providing all interested parties the opportunity to review and comment on the revised burden estimated in this ICR as a result of the proposed amendments.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(d) Effects of Less-Frequent Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Less-frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet these standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(e) General Guidelines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of these regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(f) Confidentiality
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B - Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(g) Sensitive Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in these standards do not include sensitive questions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i) Data Items
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In this ICR, all the data that are recorded or reported is required by the NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ). 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      A source must make the following reports:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notifications/Reports
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Initial notification requirements for owners/operators of non-emergency non-certified stationary SI ICE with a maximum horsepower greater than or equal to 500 HP. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
§60.7(a)(1) and §60.4245(c)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For owners and operators of non-certified stationary SI ICE with a maximum horsepower greater than 500 HP, a copy of their performance test that demonstrates compliance as conducted in §60.4244.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
§60.4245(d)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual report for owners/operators of emergency stationary SI ICE with a maximum engine power more than 100 HP that operates or is contractually obligated to be available for more than 15 hours per calendar year or that operates for purposes specified in §60.4243(d)(3)(i).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
§60.4245(e)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      A source must keep the following records:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recordkeeping
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintain records of initial notifications for sources with non-certified engines with a maximum horsepower greater than or equal to 500 HP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
§60.4245(a)(1), §60.4245(c)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintain records of all maintenance conducted on any SI ICE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
§60.4245(a)(2)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintain manufacturer's certification information for any certified engine to demonstrate compliance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
§60.4245(a)(3)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintain records of performance testing on any non-certified engine or certified engine operating in non-certified manner and subject to §60.4243(a)(2) to demonstrate compliance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
§60.4245(a)(4)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintain records of the hours of operation for emergency stationary SI ICE documenting how many hours are spent for emergency operation, including what classified the operation as emergency, and how many hours are spent for non-emergency operation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
§60.4245(b)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electronic Reporting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
      The proposed amendments to the rule include new electronic reporting provisions. Respondents are required to use the EPA's ERT to develop performance test reports and submit them through the EPA's CEDRI, which can be accessed through the EPA's CDX (https://cdx.epa.gov/). The ERT is an application rather than a form, and the requirement to use the ERT is applicable to numerous subparts. The splash screen of the ERT contains a link to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requirements, such as the OMB Control Number, expiration date, and burden estimate for this and other subparts. Respondents are also required to submit electronic copies of notifications and certain reports through EPA's CEDRI. The notification is an upload of their currently required notification in portable document format (PDF) file. The semiannual reports are to be created using Form 5900-596, the electronic template included with this Supporting Statement. The template is an Excel spreadsheet which can be partially completed and saved for subsequent semiannual reports to limit some of the repetitive data entry. It reflects the reporting elements required by the rule and does not impose additional reporting elements. The OMB Control Number is displayed on the Welcome page of the template, with a link to an online repository that contains the PRA requirements. For purposes of this ICR, it is assumed that there is no additional burden associated with the proposed requirement for respondents to submit the notifications and reports electronically.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Electronic copies of records may also be maintained in order to satisfy federal recordkeeping requirements. For additional information on the Paperwork Reduction Act requirements for CEDRI and ERT for this rule, see: https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-air-emissions/paperwork-reduction-act-pra-cedri-and-ert.

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(a) Agency Activities 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                               Agency Activities
Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.
Audit facility records.
Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) and ICIS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(b) Collection Methodology and Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standards and note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The annual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Information contained in the reports is reported by state and local governments in the ICIS Air database, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. ICIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. EPA uses ICIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices, and EPA headquarters. The EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for two years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(c) Small Entity Flexibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimizing the information collection burden for all sizes of organizations is a continuing effort for the EPA. The EPA is not proposing to make any changes in terms of who is required to report and what they are required to report, only the manner in which the information is reported, and this proposed change is expected to result in an overall reduction in burden. The EPA does not believe that the NSPS will have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Furthermore, although the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for small and larger businesses, these requirements are considered the minimum needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot be reduced further for small businesses.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(d) Collection Schedule
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown at the end of this document in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NSPS     for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ)(Amendments).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of `Burden' under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 36,600 hours (Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NSPS program,     the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i) Estimating Labor Costs 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This ICR uses the following labor rates: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Managerial	$138.24 ($65.83 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Technical	$127.68 ($60.80 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Clerical	$  64.83 ($30.87 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2022, "Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group." The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation." The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard(s) are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a facility becomes subject to these regulations. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitors and other costs such as photocopying and postage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

                        Total capital and O&M cost
                                                                     $2,696,587
 a  O&M cost per occurrence for certifications for stationary was increased by 1.33 percent from previous ICR# 2227.04 to account for the increase in the average annual consumer price index (https://www.bls.gov/cpi/#data). The original certification costs were estimated in Table 5.2.1-4 of the document, "Final Regulatory Support Document: Control of Emissions from Unregulated Non-road Engines." The three years of ICR# 2227.06 were 2021, 2022, and 2023 so we assumed these O&M costs are already in $2021.
[b] The distribution of new engine types is based on the same distribution from the previously approved ICR.
[c] Previously certified engines > 500-hp are required to conduct subsequent performance tests either after 3-years or 8,760 hours of operation after the initial performance test. It is assumed that 12 percent of existing engines, or 2,350 existing engines, will be rated at > 500 hp, have previously had an initial performance test conducted, and are now required to conduct a subsequent test over the next 3-year period.
[d]  This cost originated in ICR 2227.02, which was finalized in 2008. The cost was escalated from $2008 to $2021 by using the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI) from 2008 [575.4] and the CEPCI from 2021 [708]. This increased the cost  from $1,000 to $1,230.

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total average capital/startup costs for this ICR are $311,303 per year. This is the total of column D in the above table. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total average operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $2,385,284 per year. This is the total of column G in the above table. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $2,696,587 per year. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes such activities as     the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $229,964 per year. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:
		
      Managerial	$70.56 (GS-13, Step 5, $44.10 + 60%)
		Technical	$52.32 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.73 + 60%)		
      Clerical	$28.34 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.71 + 60%)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2022 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to Federal government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear at the end of this document in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three years, approximately 19,582 existing respondents per year will be subject to these standards. It is estimated that an additional 253 new respondents per year will become subject to these same standards. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 19,835 per year. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three years covered by this ICR:

[a]  We assume 12% of the 253 new respondents, or 30 respondents, will have engines rated at >500 hp. 
[b]  In the 2007 Cost Impacts memo for this rule, EPA estimated that, based on information obtained from the Engine Manufacturers Association, emergency engines make up approximately 5 percent of the total SI population. EPA also assumed that only 50% of engines seek certification. Of the 253 new engines per year, approximately 2.5% (6.3) are non-certified and required to record hours in non-emergency operation. The number of non-certified emergency engines has been escalated since the original ICR (#2227.02) to the number of 503 for year 2 of this ICR. We assume 5% of emergency stationary SI ICE will be required to report to conservatively estimate respondent burden for this activity. (503 x 0.05 = 25 (rounded))

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The number of Total Annual Responses is 20,140.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual average respondent labor costs are $4,520,283 per year. Details regarding these estimates may be found at the end of this document in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ).

      6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2 at the end of this document, respectively, and summarized below. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (iv) Respondent Tally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual average labor hours are 36,848 hours per year. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      We assumed that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.8 hours per response.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total average annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $2,696,587 per year. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (v) The Agency Tally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 4,463 labor hours at a cost of $229,964; see below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      There is an 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 are 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 existing respondents. The increase in existing respondents is based on the growth rate from the prior ICR and assumes continued growth in the manufacture and use of SI ICE. This has led to an increase in O&M costs, as well as recordkeeping and reporting costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In terms of the change in burden due to the proposed addition of electronic reporting requirements to the NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ), the result is an average annual reduction in burden for respondents over the three years of this ICR of 1,144 hours per year and a reduction in cost for the three years of this ICR of $140,379 per year. The average annual reduction in cost for the three years of this ICR is approximately $7.08 per year per respondent. See the following table:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The proposed addition of electronic reporting also impacts the Agency tally. The result is an average annual reduction in burden for the three years of this ICR of 1,593 hours per year for EPA staff and a reduction in cost for the three years of this ICR of $82,218 per year for EPA staff. See the following table:

      6(g) Burden Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.8 hours per response. "Burden" means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information either to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to,   a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

Assumptions:








[a]  We assumed there are an average of 19,582 existing respondents per year and an additional 253 respondents will become subject to the rule each year. The overall average number of respondents is 19,835 per year. 
[b]  This ICR uses the following labor rates for privately-owned sources: $138.24 per hour for Managerial Labor (Management, Business, and Financial); $127.68 per hour for Technical labor (Professional and Related), and $64.83 per hour for Clerical labor (Office and Admin Support).  These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2022, "Table 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group."  The rates are from column 1, "Total Compensation."  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. See https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.t02.htm
c  We assumed all new and existing respondents will have to familiarize themselves with the regulatory requirements each year. 
d  We assumed that 253 non-certified new engines will become subject to the rule each year over the 3-year period. Based on the estimated distribution of existing engines, it is assumed that 12 percent of new engines, will be rated at >500 hp and require initial notification. (253 x 12% = 30.36, rounded to 30)
[e]  Previously certified engines > 500-hp are required to conduct subsequent performance tests either after 3 years or 8,760 hours of operation after the initial performance test. It is assumed that 12 percent of existing engines will be rated at > 500 hp and have previously had an initial performance test conducted and are now required to conduct a subsequent test over the next 3-year period. (Existing engines = 2,375+17,207 = 19,582). (19,582 x 0.12 = 2,350)
[f]  We assumed it will take 16 hours per annual report based on ICR 1975.06 (NESHAP For Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ). In the 2007 Cost Impacts memo for this rule, EPA estimated that, based on information obtained from the Engine Manufacturers Association, emergency engines make up approximately 5 percent of the total SI population. EPA also assumed that only 50% of engines seek certification. Of the 253 new engines per year, approximately 2.5% (6.3) are non-certified and required to record hours in non-emergency operation. The number of non-certified emergency engines submitting reports has been incremented since the original ICR (421 respondents in year 1 of ICR #2227.02) to the number of 490 for year 2 of this ICR. We assume 5% of emergency stationary SI ICE will be required to report to conservatively estimate respondent burden for this activity. (490 x 0.05 = 25 (rounded))
[g]  Assumed that electronic reporting would result in a 50 percent labor savings associated with electronic submissions through CEDRI.
[h] Assumed existing sources with electronic reporting would spend one hour reviewing the new rulemaking in the first year to become familiar with new requirements and changes to current requirements. In Year 2 and 3, we assumed 0.5 hours per year. Average = 1 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 2.5 / 3 = 0.7

Assumptions:








[a]  We assumed there are an average of 19,582 existing respondents per year and an additional 253 respondents will become subject to the rule each year. The overall average number of respondents is 19,835 per year. 
[b]  This ICR uses the following labor rates:  $70.56 for managerial (Grade 13, Step 5), $52.37 for technical (Grade`12, Step 1), and $28.34 for clerical labor (Grade 6, Step 3). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2022 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.  The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. See https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2022/GS_h.pdf
[c] After full implementation, existing sources are no longer subject to these activities. It was assumed that 253 non-certified new engines will become subject to the rule each year over the 3-year period. Based on the estimated distribution of existing engines, it is assumed that 12 percent of new engines, will be rated at >500 hp and require initial notification. Additionally, previously certified engines > 500-hp are required to conduct subsequent performance tests either after 3 years or 8,760 hours of operation after the initial performance test. It is assumed that 12 percent of existing engines (12% of 19,582 = 2,350) will be rated at > 500 hp and have previously had an initial performance test conducted and are now required to conduct a subsequent test over the next 3-year period. The agency is expected to experience burden from evaluating these new sources and subsequent testing of existing sources > 500 hp.
d  We assumed it will take 2 hours to review each annual report based on ICR 1975.06 (NESHAP For Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ). EPA estimates that emergency engines make up approximately 5 percent of the total SI population and that 50% of these emergency engines are non-certified and required to report hours in non-emergency operation. The number of non-certified emergency engines submitting reports has been escalated since the original ICR (421 respondents in year 1 of ICR #2227.02) to the number of 503 for year 2 of this ICR. We assume 5% of emergency stationary SI ICE will be required to report to conservatively estimate respondent burden for this activity. (503 x 0.05 = 25 (rounded))
[e]  Assumed that electronic reporting would result in a 30 percent labor savings for EPA personnel associated with electronic submissions through CEDRI. (2 hours x (1.0-0.3) = 1.4 hours)
