subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the

for
at
least
two
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,

is
required
to
ensure
compliance
with
and
enforcement
of
the
standards
of
performance
for
coal
preparation
plants;

!
EPA
Regions
and
OECA
will
use
this
data;

!
This
data
will
be
sent
to
delegated
State
or
Region
and
entered
into
the
AIRS
computer
database;
and
!
The
information
collection
will
involve
390
respondents,
15,463
burden
hours
per
year
at
a
cost
of
855,722
dollars
per
year.

The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
40
CFR
60.250
were
proposed
on
October
24,
1974
and
promulgated
on
January
15,
1976.
These
standards
apply
to
the
following
facilities
in
the
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
40
CFR
60.250
which
process
more
than
200
tons
per
day:
Thermal
dryers,
pneumatic
coal
cleaning
equipment
(
air
tables),
coal
processing
and
conveying
equipment
(
including
breakers
and
crushers),
coal
storage
systems,
and
coal
transfer
and
loading
systems
commencing
construction,
modification
or
reconstruction
after
the
date
of
proposal.
Coal
preparation
plants
do
not
include
underground
mining
operations.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
60
Subpart
Y.

In
general,
all
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports.
Owners
or
operators
are
also
required
to
maintain
records
of
the
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
start­
up,
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
sources
subject
to
NSPS.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
two
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
All
reports
are
sent
to
the
delegated
State
or
Local
authority.
In
the
event
that
there
is
no
such
delegated
authority,
the
reports
are
sent
directly
to
the
EPA
Regional
Office.

Approximately
390
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard,
and
it
is
estimated
that
an
additional
10
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.
It
is
assumed
that
there
is
an
average
of
2
affected
facilities
per
plant,
however,
facilities
are
expected
to
record
and/
or
report
pertinent
information
about
affected
facilities
at
one
time
so
for
the
purposes
of
this
ICR
the
respondent
will
remain
one
per
subject
facility.
This
information
was
gathered
from
EPA's
AIRS
data
base
and
the.

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,
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect:

"
Application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emissions
reduction
3
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
four
years.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
particulate
matter
emissions
from
Subpart
Y
­
Standards
of
Performance
for
Coal
Preparation
Plants
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
60.250,
Subpart
Y
­
Standards
of
Performance
for
Coal
Preparation
Plants.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
particulate
matter
from
Subpart
Y
­
Standards
of
Performance
for
Coal
Preparation
Plants
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
particulate
matter
from
Subpart
Y
­
Standards
of
Performance
for
Coal
Preparation
Plants
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
thermal
dryers,
pneumatic
coal­
cleaning
equipment,
coal
processing
and
conveying
equipment,
coal
storage
systems,
and
coal
transfer
and
loading
systems.
These
standards
rely
on
the
reduction
of
particulate
matter
emissions
by
temperature
monitoring
at
the
exhaust
vent
of
thermal
dryers
and
the
use
of
venturi
scrubbers.
The
required
notifications
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated
and
the
standard
is
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
record
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
note
the
operating
conditions
(
proper
temperature
at
exhaust
vent
of
thermal
dryers
and
maintenance
of
pressure
across
the
venturi
constriction)
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
periodic
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
affected
by
the
NSPS
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
used
to
achieve
compliance
with
the
NSPS.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
these
standards,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
The
information
collected
from
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
Y.
4
3(
a)
Nonduplication
If
the
standard
has
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
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
their
own
similar
regulation
to
implement
the
Federal
Regulation,
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
the
Federal
Standard.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
September
15,
2000.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
There
was
no
significant
change
in
burden
for
this
ICR.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
required
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
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
None
of
these
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
violate
any
of
the
regulations
established
by
OMB
in
5
CFR
1320.6.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
The
required
information
consists
of
emissions
data
and
other
information
that
have
been
determined
not
to
be
private.
However,
any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according
to
the
Agency
policies

The
Respondents
and
the
Information
Requested
4(
a)
Respondents/
SIC
Codes
The
respondents
of
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
coal
preparation
plants.
The
SIC
code
for
the
respondents
affected
by
the
standards
is
mostly
SIC
(
U.
S.
Standard
Industrial
Classification)
1200
series
(
and
may
also
include
SIC
2819,
2951,
2999
and
4911)
which
corresponds
to
the
NAICS

INFORMATION
REQUESTED
This
rule
requires
affected
facilities
to
maintain
all
records,
including
reports
and
notifications
for
at
least
five
years.
This
is
consistent
with
the
General
Provision
to
the
rule.
EPA
believes
that
the
five
year
records
retention
requirement
is
consistent
with
the
Part
70
permit
program
and
the
five
year
statute
of
limitations
on
which
the
permit
program
is
based.
Also,
the
retention
of
records
for
five
years
would
allow
EPA
to
establish
a
source's
history
and
patterns
of
compliance
for
purposes
of
determining
the
appropriate
level
of
enforcement
action.
Historically,
EPA
has
found
that
the
most
flagrant
violators
frequently
have
violations
extending
beyond
the
five
year
statute
of
limitations.
Therefore,
EPA
would
be
prevented
from
pursuing
the
worst
violators
due
to
the
destruction
or
nonexistence
of
records
if
less
than
five
years
of
records
were
kept.

5(
a)
Agency
Activities
EPA
conducts
the
following
activities
in
connection
with
the
acquisition,
analysis,
storage,
and
distribution
of
the
required
information.

Agency
Activities
Observe
initial
performance
tests
and
repeat
performance
tests
if
necessary.

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
Aerometric
Information
Retrieval
System
(
AIRS)
database.

5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
Following
notification
of
start­
up,
the
reviewing
authority
might
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
standard,
and
note
the
operating
conditions
{
processing
more
than
200
tons
per
day}
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
AIRS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards.
AIRS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
over
100,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
AIRS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
Local
and
State
regulatory
agencies,
and
EPA
Regional
Offices
and
Headquarters.
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
or
operator
for
two
years.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
Both
large
and
small
businesses
are
evenly
distributed
throughout
this
industry
sector.
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
were
selected
within
the
context
of
this
specific
Subpart
and
the
specific
process
equipment
and
pollutant.
The
impact
on
small
businesses
was
accounted
for
in
the
regulation
development.
The
requirements
reflect
the
burden
on
small
businesses.
Even
10
though,
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
small
and
larger
businesses.
To
the
extent
that
larger
businesses
can
use
economies
of
scale
to
reduce
their
burden,
the
overall
burden
will
be
reduced.
The
Agency
considers
these
requirements
the
minimum
needed
to
ensure
compliance
and,
therefore,
cannot
reduce
them
further
for
small
businesses.

5(
d)
Collection
Schedule
The
specific
frequency
for
each
information
collection
activity
within
this
request
is
shown
in
Table
2:
Industry
Burden.

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
not
conduct
or
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
at
15,463
person­
hours.
These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
standards
or
test
methods,
Agency
knowledge
and
experience
with
the
NSPS
program,
the
previously
approved
ICR,
and
any
comments
received.

Costs
(

Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
a
Technical
Labor
Rate
of
$
55.34
per
hour.
This
rate
is
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Commerce
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
March
2000,
"
Table
10.
Private

group."
The
rates
are
from
column
1,
"
Total

The
wage
rate
has
been
increase
by
110%
to
account
for
the
benefit
packages
available
to
those
employed
by
private

Estimating
Capital/
Startup
and
Operation
and
Maintenance
Costs
11
The
type
of
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activity
in
the
standards
are
labor
and
CEMs.
The
capital
start­
up
costs
are
one
time
costs
for
CEMs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
standard
and
only
ten
percent
of
this
industry
sector
is
expected
to
use
CEMs.
The
capital
start­
up
costs
for
this
regulation
are
760
dollars.
This
is
based
on
ten
percent
of
ten
new
sources
per
year
(
one
new
source)
multiplied
by
760
dollars
per
CEM.
The
annual
operations
and
maintenance
costs
are
13,650
dollars.
This
is
based
on
39
existing
sources
(
10%
of
industry)
multiplied
by
350
dollars
for
upkeep
of
the
monitoring
device.
The
total
respondent
costs
have
been
calculated
on
the
addition
of
the
capital
start­
up
costs
and
the
annual
operations
and
maintenance
costs.
The
average
annual
burden
for
capital
and,
operations
and
maintenance
costs
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
14,410
dollars.

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
costs
to
the
Agency
are
user
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
12
information.
Publication
and
distribution
of
the
information
are
part
of
the
AIRS
program.
Examination
of
records
to
be
maintained
by
the
respondents
will
occur
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources,
which
is
part
of
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program.

The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
3
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
34,926.
This
cost
is
based
on
the
average
hourly
labor
rate
at
a
GS­
12,
Step
1,
times
a
1.6
benefits
multiplication
factor
to

Reasons
for

The
increase
in

due
to
an
increase
in
the
labor
rate
and
slight
