    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for 
Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart KKKK) were 
proposed on February 18, 2005, and promulgated on July 6, 2006. These 
regulations apply to new stationary combustion turbines with a heat 
input at peak load equal to or greater than 10.7 gigajoules (10 MMBtu) 
per hour, based on the higher heating value of the fuel. 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 KKKK.
    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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Stationary combustion turbines.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart KKKK).
    Estimated number of respondents: 730 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 76,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $8,670,000 (per year), which includes $0 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in burden 
hours and costs for both the respondents and the Agency as currently 
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The increase is 
not due to any program changes. The increase is due to an adjustment in 
the number of new or modified sources. This ICR assumes the respondent 
universe subject to the regulation has continued to grow at a constant 
rate since the last ICR renewal. The increase in the number of 
respondents also results in an increase in the number of responses.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
