PART A OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR STANDARD FORM 83

STATIONARY RECIPROCATING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

AS REVISED IN 2006

1.	IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION

(a)	Title of the Information Collection

Additional Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary
Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines.  

	(b)	Short Characterization

This supporting statement addresses new information collection
activities that would be imposed by the National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines (RICE), 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ, as proposed to
be revised in 2006.  These standards fulfill the requirements of section
112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended in 1990, which requires the
EPA to promulgate standards for stationary RICE.  The original NESHAP
(69 FR 33474, June 15, 2004) applied only to stationary RICE greater
than 500 horsepower (hp) located at a major source.  The revised
regulation includes new or reconstructed 4-stroke lean burn (4SLB)
engines with a brake hp greater than 250 and less than or equal to 500
that are located at a major source.  This ICR addresses only the costs
associated with these sources.  The revised regulation also addresses
other types of stationary RICE less than 500 hp located at major
sources, as well as stationary RICE located at area sources.  The NESHAP
requirements for these types of sources, including emergency and
landfill and digester engines, are identical to the requirements of new
source performance standards (NSPS) for stationary engines, so the costs
are included in the compression ignition (CI) and spark ignition (SI)
NSPS ICRs.

The information collection activities in this ICR include:  stack tests,
continuous operating parameter monitoring, one-time and periodic
reports, and the maintenance of records.  The information collection
activities will enable the EPA to determine initial and continuous
compliance with emission standards for the regulated pollutants.

2.	NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION

(a)	Need/Authority for the Collection

The EPA is required under section 112 of the CAA to establish NESHAP
that reflect the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for
achieving continuous emission reductions.  Section 112(d) states:

Emissions standards promulgated under this subsection and applicable to
new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants shall require the
maximum degree of reduction in emissions of the hazardous air pollutants
subject to this section that the Administrator, taking into
consideration the cost of achieving such emission reduction, and any
non-air quality health and environmental impacts and energy
requirements, determines is achievable for new or existing sources in
the category or subcategory to which such emission standard applies . .
. .

Section 112(i) further states:

After the effective date of any emissions standard, limitation or
regulation promulgated under this section and applicable to a source, no
person may operate such source in violation of such standard, limitation
or regulation . . . .

In addition, section 114(a)(1) states that:

. . . the Administrator may require any person who owns or operates any
emission source or who is 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 or methods, (D)
sample such emissions (in accordance with such methods, at such
locations, at such intervals, and in such manner as the Administrator
shall prescribe), and (E) provide such other information, as he may
reasonably require.

Certain reports are necessary to enable the Administrator to identify
stationary RICE subject to the regulation and to determine if the
standards are being achieved.

(b)	Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The information will be used by the EPA to identify sources subject to
the standards and ensure that the emission standards are being met. 
Records and reports are necessary to enable the EPA to identify
facilities that may not be in compliance with the standards.  Based on
reported information, EPA will decide which facilities should be
inspected and what records or units should be inspected at the
facilities.  The records that facilities maintain will indicate to EPA
whether facility personnel are operating and maintaining the equipment
properly.

3.	NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION 	CRITERIA

(a)	Nonduplication

Duplication in the reporting of stationary RICE information is not
anticipated.  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.

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

A public notice of this collection will be provided in the notice of
proposed rulemaking for the NESHAP.

(c)	Consultations

In September 1996, the EPA chartered the Industrial Combustion
Coordinated Rulemaking (ICCR) advisory committee under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA).  The committee’s objective was to
develop recommendations for regulations for several combustion source
categories under sections 112 and 129 of the CAA.  The ICCR advisory
committee, known as the Coordinating Committee, formed Source Work
Groups for the various combustor types covered under the ICCR.  One work
group, the RICE Work Group, was formed to research issues related to
stationary RICE.  The RICE Work Group submitted recommendations,
information, and data analysis results to the Coordinating Committee,
which in turn considered them and submitted recommendations and
information to the EPA.  The Committee’s recommendations were
considered by the EPA in developing the original regulations for
stationary RICE, as well as for the additional stationary RICE now being
addressed.

More recently, EPA has met with the Engine Manufacturers Association
(EMA), the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America (INGAA), as
well as other affected entities that will be subject to the new emission
standards.  Information and advice from these groups was considered when
developing these additions to the NESHAP.  The public will also have the
opportunity to review and comment on the proposed NESHAP and the ICR
during the specified comment period.

 (d)	Effects of Less Frequent Data Collection

The frequency of the data collection requirements was chosen by the EPA
to provide reasonable assurance that a facility is in compliance with
the standard.  Less frequent collection could result in long-term
exceedances of the applicable emission standards.

(e)	General Guidelines

With the exception of requiring records to be maintained for more than 3
years, none of the guidelines in CFR 1320.5 are being exceeded.  This
rule requires all records to be maintained for a period of 5 years,
which is consistent with the General Provisions under 40 CFR part 63.

(f)	Confidentiality

The type of data that would be required is principally emissions data
and would not be confidential.  If any information is submitted to the
EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is made, the information would
be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in title 40,
chapter 1, part 2, subpart B -- Confidentiality of Business Information.

(g)	Sensitive Questions

This section is not applicable because the ICR does not involve matters
of a sensitive nature.

4.	THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED

(a)	Respondents/NAICS Codes

Respondents are owners or operators of new or reconstructed 4SLB
stationary RICE that have a maximum hp rating greater than 250 and less
than or equal to 500 that are located at a major source of hazardous air
pollutants (HAP) emissions.  A major source of HAP emissions is a plant
site that emits or has the potential to emit 10 tons or more per year of
any single HAP or 25 tons or more per year of any combination of HAP. 
These standards affect any industry, State, local, or tribal government
using stationary RICE as defined in the regulation.  The North American
Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes for facilities using
stationary RICE affected by the regulation include:  2211 (Electric
Power Generation, Transmission, or Distribution), 48621 (Natural Gas
Transmission), 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Production),
2111112 (Natural Gas Liquids Producers), and 92811 (National Security).

(b)	Information Requested

(i)	Data Items:  Attachment 1, Source Data and Information Requirements,
summarizes the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of this
regulation.

(ii)	Respondent Activities:  The respondent activities required by the
regulation are provided under the first column of Tables 1 through 3,
introduced in section 6(a).

(iii)	Summary of Monitoring Requirements:  The monitoring activities in
this ICR include stack tests and continuous operating parameter
monitoring.  Spark ignition 4SLB with hp greater than 250 and less than
or equal to 500 located at major sources must reduce carbon monoxide
(CO) emissions by 93 percent or limit formaldehyde emissions to 14 parts
per million by volume on a dry basis (ppmvd) at 15 percent oxygen.  For
either option, these sources must demonstrate compliance by conducting
an initial performance test.  If using an oxidation catalyst, these
sources will be required to continuously monitor the catalyst inlet
temperature and measure the catalyst pressure drop monthly.  As an
alternative to continuous parametric monitoring, these sources may
choose to use a continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS); however,
it is not expected that any sources will choose this option. 

5.	THE INFORMATION COLLECTED -- AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION
METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

(a)	Agency Activities

A list of Agency activities for the first 3 years following the
effective date of the standard is provided in Tables 5 through 7, which
are introduced in section 6(c).

(b)	Collection Methodology and Management

Data obtained during periodic visits by EPA personnel, from records
maintained by the respondents, and from information provided in
semiannual reports will be tabulated and published for internal EPA use
in compliance and enforcement programs.  The final rule allows records
to be retained in hard copy or electronic format to allow flexibility
and minimize burden.

(c)	Small Entity Flexibility

Minimizing the information collection burden for all sizes of
organizations is a continuing effort for the EPA.  The additions to the
NESHAP for stationary RICE applies to engines less than or equal to 500
hp located at major sources and to all engines at area sources. 
However, these engines can, in general, demonstrate compliance by
meeting the requirements in the CI and SI NSPS, with the exception being
new and reconstructed 4SLB between 250 and 500 hp located at major
sources.  It is not expected that small entities will be affected by the
requirements discussed for 4SLB engines between 250 and 500 hp at major
sources.  Thus, we do not believe that the NESHAP will have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.  

(d)	Collection Schedule

New and reconstructed 4SLB sources with hp greater than 250 and less
than or equal to 500 located at major sources which began construction
or reconstruction after the effective date of the standard must submit
the following:  notification of construction/reconstruction;
notification of anticipated startup, delivered or postmarked not more
than 60 days or less than 30 days before anticipated startup; and
notification of actual startup, delivered or postmarked within 15 days
after actual startup.

Any of these sources that do not install CEMS must submit a notification
60 days prior to each performance test.  After the initial performance
testing, sources must submit an initial notification of compliance
within 180 days after completion of the initial compliance
demonstration.  Any source using an oxidation catalyst to meet the
emission limit must also conduct semiannual performance testing.  After
2 consecutive performance tests demonstrate compliance, sources may
reduce the frequency of performance testing to once annually.  All
facilities must submit to the EPA a semiannual compliance report that
includes any exceedances and malfunctions.  

6.	ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION

  	(a)	Estimating Respondent Burden

It is estimated that an average of 360 new 4SLB SI engines with hp
greater than 250 and less than or equal to 500 at major sources will
come online in each of the next 3 years.  Sources must perform initial
performance tests for each of these engines.  Sources with oxidation
catalysts must also conduct semiannual performance tests and monitor the
catalyst inlet temperature and measure the catalyst pressure drop
monthly.  After 2 consecutive performance tests demonstrate compliance,
test frequency may be reduced to annually.  For this analysis, it was
assumed that sources would continue to conduct performance tests
semiannually.

An itemized breakdown of the reporting and recordkeeping requirements
with the annual cost and labor requirements for the respondents subject
to the NESHAP for the 3-year period following promulgation is presented
in Tables 1 through 3.  The annual cost and labor respondent burden
estimates for the first year after promulgation are provided in Table 1.
 The burden estimates for years 2 and 3 are presented in Tables 2 and 3,
respectively.  These numbers were derived from the EPA’s experience
with other standards and from discussions with industry representatives.


(b)	Estimating Respondent Costs

The information collection activities for sources subject to these
requirements are presented in Tables 1 through 3.  The total cost for
each respondent activity includes labor costs, capital/startup costs,
and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

(i)	Estimating Labor Costs  The total cost for each respondent activity
includes labor costs.  Labor rates, on a per-hour basis, are taken from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics web site
(http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.toc.htm) as posted for December
2005, except when noted otherwise in the tables.  The base labor rates
are $29.24 for technical/professional personnel, $33.98 for management,
and $14.30 for clerical.  The total compensation rate is $40.62 for
technical/professional personnel, $48.56 for managerial, and $20.31 for
clerical.  This accounts for paid leave, insurance, etc.  The
compensation rates were then adjusted by an overhead and profit rate of
167 percent.  The final total wage rates are $68 for
technical/professional personnel, $81 for management, and $34 for
clerical.  

	(ii)	Estimating Capital/Startup Costs  Capital costs associated with
this NESHAP result from the purchase and installation of portable CO
monitors, a continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS) and a device
to measure pressure drop across the catalyst monthly.  The EPA estimated
that each engine will have its own CPMS.

	Capital costs are based on consultation with equipment vendors and
industry experts.  Portable CO monitors are expected to have an
annualized capital cost of $583.  Each facility can purchase one
portable CO monitor and use it for several stationary RICE.  The
annualized capital cost of a CPMS for temperature monitoring and a
device to measure pressure drop monthly is $1,708 per CPMS and device. 
The total capital costs for each year are shown in Tables 1 through 3. 
The total capital cost over the three year period is estimated to be
$2,472,650 or an average of $824,217 per year.

**Costs per Respondent.

***Performance tests are required semiannually until 2 consecutive tests
deomonstrate compliance.  For this analysis, it was assumed that all
sources continue to test semiannually.

	(iii)	Total Operation and Maintenance Costs  Costs associated with
operation and maintenance (O&M) are the annual operating and maintenance
costs of the portable CO monitors.  These costs were also estimated
through contact with equipment vendors and industry experts.  The
estimated total annual O&M cost of each portable CO monitor is $1,873
per facility.  The total O&M costs are for each year are shown in Tables
1 through 3.  The total O&M cost over the three year period is estimated
to be $2,021,507, or an average of $673,836 per year.

	(c)	Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

	Because the information collection requirements were developed as an
incidental part of standards development, no costs can be attributed to
the development of the information collection requirements.  Because
reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of the respondents
are required under section 112 of the CAA, no operational costs will be
incurred by the Federal government.  Examination of records to be
maintained by the respondents would occur incidentally as part of the
periodic inspection of sources that is part of the EPA’s overall
compliance and enforcement program and, therefore, is not attributable
to the ICR.

The Agency burden and cost estimates include only those items where the
government would incur additional costs as a result of the information
collection.  These costs include user costs associated with the review
and analysis of the reported information.  These are presented in Tables
4 through 6.

The hourly burden for review of reports was estimated through discussion
with personnel from local agencies who review these types of reports. 
Labor rates for Federal employees are based on the January 2006, Office
of Personnel Management pay rates for General Schedule employees (see
http://www.opm.gov/oca/06tables/html).  The pay rates were multiplied by
the standard government benefits multiplication factor of 1.6.  The
resulting average hourly labor costs are $48 for technical personnel,
$80 for management, and $28 for clerical.

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

The respondent universe was estimated through projected industry orders
for stationary RICE.  It is estimated that an average of 360 new
facilities will come online in each of the next 3 years.  The NESHAP
will therefore affect approximately 1,080 new facilities over the next 3
years.  The total burden is calculated by adding the total technical,
management, and clerical hours per year.  The technical hours are
calculated by multiplying the total hours per respondent by the number
of respondents per year for each respondent activity.  Management and
clerical hours are assumed to be 5 percent and 10 percent of the
technical hours, respectively.

	The total cost is calculated by summing the labor, capital/startup, and
O&M costs.  With the exception of the costs for performance tests, the
labor costs are determined by multiplying the total labor hours by the
total wage rate for each labor category.  The total capital/startup and
O&M costs are calculated by multiplying the cost for each respondent by
the number of respondents.  Total cost is presented in the far right
column of each table.

(e)	Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables 

	(i)	Respondent Tally  A breakdown for each of the collection,
reporting, and recordkeeping activities required by the NESHAP is
presented in Tables 1 through 3.  The estimate of total annual hours
requested from the respondents was based on the assumptions outlined in
section 6(d) of this supporting statement.  The EPA estimated the
respondent burden by totaling the hours for the first 3 years after the
implementation of the NESHAP for technical, managerial, and clerical
staff at the facility, and then dividing that total by three to
determine the average annualized burden.  The 3-year summary results are
presented in Table 7.  The total number of responses for these
respondents over the first 3 years after the implementation of the
NESHAP is estimated to be 12,875, or an average of 4,292 per year.  For
the first 3 years after the implementation of the NESHAP, the EPA
estimates that industry would expend 100,471 hours annually at a cost of
$8,089,845 per year to meet the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting
requirements.

	(ii)	The Agency Tally  A breakdown for each of the Agency activities
required for the NESHAP is provided in Tables 4 through 6.  The bottom
line Agency burden hours and costs, presented in Table 8, are calculated
by totaling the hours per year for technical, managerial, and clerical
staff, and by totaling the cost column.  The average annual burden is
calculated by dividing the 3-year total by three.  The estimated average
annual burden, over the first 3 years, for the Agency would be 8,216
hours at a cost of $391,493 per year.

Cost Trends total compensation index which includes wages, salaries, and
benefits.  Costs  are estimated using the following hourly rates:  
technical at $48, management at $80 and clerical at $28, unless noted
otherwise in this supporting statement.

	(iii)	Variations in the Annual Bottom Line  The total burden and cost
estimates for the first 3 years after the NESHAP is promulgated are
given in Tables 1 through 3 and Table 7.  The variation in total
activity and respondent burden and cost from year to year is shown in
the tables.  In years 1, 2, and 3, the total costs are $6,163,458;
$8,074,161; and $10,031,916; respectively (see Tables 1 through 3 and
7).  In the first year, 350 engines are in startup phase with initial
and startup notifications, performance tests and compliance reports.  In
the second year, 360 engines are in startup phase and 350 engines
continue to operate with required semiannual performance tests and
reporting.  In the third year, 369 engines are in startup mode and 710
engines continue to operate with semiannual performance tests and
compliance reports. Thus, the number of respondents, the respondent
burden and respondent costs increase each year.  However, the average
burden and cost per respondent will decrease slightly each year because
a smaller percentage of sources will be in startup mode.  For example,
the total number of respondent labor hours in the first year for each
engine is 204 hours (71,709/350 = 204).  This represents a total cost to
this respondent of $17,594 ($6,163,458/350 = $17,594) in the first year.
 In the second year, the respondent hours and costs for each facility
would decrease to 141 and $11,371; respectively.  In the third year, the
respondent hours would be 120 and the costs would be $9,294.

The total number of agency hours for review of reports also increases as
more engines startup.  Each year the agency must review all of startup
notifications for that year, semiannual compliance reports from that
year, and semiannual compliance reports from engines started up in all
previous years since 2008.  The total number of agency hours for years
1, 2, and 3 are 4,831; 8,188; and 11,628, respectively.  The
corresponding agency costs for activities during these years are
$230,229; $390,158; and $554,091 (see Table 8).

(f)	Reasons for Change in Burden

This is the initial estimation of burden for this ICR; therefore this
section does not apply.

(g)	Burden Statement

  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average 23 hours per response.
 Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information 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 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.  The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are
listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
