NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY) (Renewal)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

      1(a) Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1967.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0540. 

      1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

      The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Combustion Turbines were proposed on January 14, 2003; promulgated on March 5, 2004; and amended last on April 20, 2006. The regulations apply to sources that either commenced construction or reconstruction after January 14, 2003. On August 18, 2004, these standards   were amended to stay the effectiveness for the two gas-fired stationary combustion turbine subcategories (i.e., lean pre-mix gas-fired turbines and diffusion flame gas-fired turbines). Under this stay, new sources in either subcategory that are either constructed or reconstructed after January 14, 2003 are required to submit initial notification reports, but are also relieved of the obligation to comply with other reporting or monitoring requirements until EPA makes a final decision. Amendments to the NESHAP were proposed on April 12, 2019, as a result of a residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA; however, these amendments have not been finalized and no burden associated with the proposed amendments is included in this ICR. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY.

      In general, all NESHAP 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 NESHAP. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority.     If the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) regional offices.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The "Affected Public" are owners or operators of stationary combustion turbines. The "burden" to the "Affected Public" may be found below, at the end of this document, in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY) (Renewal). There are approximately 114 stationary combustion turbines facilities. None of the 114 facilities in the United States are owned by either state, local, tribal or the Federal government. They are all owned and operated by privately-owned, for-profit businesses. We assume that they will all respond to EPA inquiries. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facility at each plant site and each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Over the next three years, approximately 122 respondents per year will be subject to these standards. This includes 114 existing respondents per year, including 109 facilities with gas-fired turbines, 3 facilities with landfill/digester gas-fired turbines, and 2 facilities with oil-fired stationary combustion turbines. In addition, approximately 8 facilities per year will become subject to these same standards, including 8 facilities with gas-fired turbines, 0 facilities with landfill/digester gas-fired turbines, and 0 facilities with oil-fired turbines. The number of respondents in this ICR is based on an inventory conducted as part of the RTR review and reflects a decrease in the number of facilities with oil-fired stationary combustion turbines.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. 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, hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions from stationary combustion turbines either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and/or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the 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 these emission standards. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with these standards at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The notifications required in these standards are used to inform the Agency or its delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the 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 or semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(a) Non-duplication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       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 the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 (84 FR 19777) on May 6, 2019. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register for this renewal. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(c) Consultations

      The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is 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. Approximately 122 respondents will be subject to these standards over the three-year period covered by this ICR.

      Industry trade association(s) and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with these standards as they were being developed and these same standards have been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, we contacted both the Gas Turbine Association (GTA), at (510) 705-1885; and the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, at (202) 457-0480.

      It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal, as well as for those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. In this case, no comments were received. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to these standards. 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. The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five years. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In this ICR, all the data that are recorded or reported is required by the NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY). Note that due to an on-going stay of standards for gas-fired subcategories, respondents in the lean premix and diffusion flame gas-fired stationary combustion turbine subcategories are only required to comply with the initial notification requirements shown below. These subcategories do not need to comply with the reporting or monitoring requirements until EPA takes final action.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 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. The EPA uses ICIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA 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/operator for five years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The majority of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses).  However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. During rule development, EPA conducted a regulatory impact analysis and concluded that the rule does not have a significant economic impact on small entities. Furthermore, EPA determined that any potential impacts are further reduced by the rule's exclusion of turbines with capacities below 1.0 megawatt.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Due to technical considerations, which involve the process operations and the types of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown below, at the end of this document, in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 record-keeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 1,430 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 NESHAP 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	$141.06 ($67.17+ 110%)  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Technical	$120.27 ($57.27 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Clerical	$58.67 ($27.94 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2019, "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 standards 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 the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor and other costs such as photocopying and postage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

 	Note: Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
  [a]  We estimate a total capital startup cost of $4,496 per respondent, which comprises a purchase cost of $500 and an installation cost of $3,996. The installation cost assumes 30 technical, 1.5 managerial, and 3 clerical hours at a labor rate of $120.27, $141.06, and $58.67, respectively. As described previously, these rates are based on figures from the United States Department of Labor and have been increased by 110 percent to account for private industry benefit packages.
  [b]  At present, only oil-fired subcategories are required to install, operate, and maintain continuous monitoring devices.  
  c  No annual O&M costs are shown because we expect the catalyst inlet temperature monitor to be maintenance-free.

      The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $0. This is the total of column D in the above table. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $0. This is the total of column G.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 $0.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 $3,990. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

		Managerial	$66.62 (GS-13, Step 5, $41.64 + 60%)
		Technical	$49.44 (GS-12, Step 1, $30.90 + 60%)
		Clerical	$26.75 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.72 + 60%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2019 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 below, at the end of this document, in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY) (Renewal).

      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 114 existing respondents will be subject to these standards. It is estimated that an additional 8 respondents per year will become subject to these same standards. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 122 per year. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

      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 below in Tables 1 and 2 at the end of this document, respectively, and summarized below. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i) Respondent Tally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual labor hours are 1,430 hours. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY) (Renewal). 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 95 hours per response.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $0. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii) The Agency Tally
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 83 labor hours at a cost of $3,990; see below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY) (Renewal). 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The decrease in burden from the most recently-approved ICR is due to an adjustment. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The number of respondents in this ICR is based on an inventory conducted as part of the Risk and Technology Review for this source category. The inventory reflects an increase in the number of facilities with gas-fired stationary combustion turbines and a decrease in the number of facilities with landfill or digester gas-fired and oil-fired stationary combustion turbines. The decrease in burden, capital, and operation and maintenance costs reflects industry trends towards gas-fired turbines. Turbines included in the two gas-fired subcategories that are constructed or reconstructed after January 14, 2003 are required to submit initial notification reports, but are currently not required to comply with other reporting or monitoring requirements until EPA makes a final decision on the rule.

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 95 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 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.

	To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OECA-2012-0687.

Assumptions:
a.  We estimate 8 new sources, comprising 8 gas-fired, and 0 landfill/digester gas-fired or oil-fired stationary combustion turbines, will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR. We also estimate 114 existing sources are subject, comprising 109 facilities with gas-fired turbines, 3 facilities with landfill/digester gas-fired turbines, and 2 facilities with oil-fired stationary combustion turbines.  Note that due to the ongoing stay, existing gas-fired sources that have previously submitted initial notifications are not subject to any additional monitoring or reporting requirements.
b.  This ICR uses the following labor rates: $120.27 for technical, $141.06 for managerial, and $58.67 for clerical labor from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
c.  We assume four hours are required to read instructions.  This activity applies to existing and new sources in all subcategories.
d.  We assume 12 hours are required to complete the CMS performance evaluation.  This activity only applies to new sources in the oil-fired turbine subcategories.
e.  We assume 12 hours are required to complete the performance test.  This activity only applies to new sources in the oil-fired turbine subcategories.
f.  We assume two hours are required to prepare each notification.  This activity applies to new sources in all subcategories.
g.  We assume two hours are required to prepare each notification.  These activities only apply to new sources in the oil-fired turbine subcategories.
h.  We assume eight hours are required to prepare annual compliance reports.  This activity only applies to existing sources in the landfill/digester gas-fired turbine subcategory. (3 existing sources)
i.  We assume eight hours are required to prepare semiannual compliance reports.  This activity only applies to existing sources in the oil-fired turbine subcategories. (2 existing sources)
j.  We assume one half-hour is required to record operating parameters.  This activity applies to existing sources in all subcategories.
k.  Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a.  We estimate 8 new sources, comprising 8 gas-fired, and 0 landfill/digester gas-fired or oil-fired stationary combustion turbines, will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR. We also estimate 114 existing sources are subject, comprising 109 facilities with gas-fired turbines, 3 facilities with landfill/digester gas-fired turbines, and 2 facilities with oil-fired stationary combustion turbines.  Note that due to the ongoing stay, existing gas-fired sources that have previously submitted initial notifications are not subject to any additional monitoring or reporting requirements.
b.  This ICR uses the following labor rates: $49.44 for technical, $66.62 for managerial, and $26.75 for clerical labor.  These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2019 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.
c.  We assume two hours are required to review each initial notification. This activity applies to new sources in all subcategories (i.e., 8 new sources comprising 8 gas-fired, 0 oil-fired, and 0 landfill/digester gas-fired turbines).
d.  We assume two hours are required to review each notification.  This activity only applies to new sources in the oil-fired turbine subcategories (i.e., 0 oil-fired turbines).
e.  We assume that performance test and CMS performance evaluation reports will be submitted for review concurrently with the notification of compliance status, and that a total of 16 hours will be required to review each compliance notification (2 hours), performance test report (8 hours), and performance evaluation report (8 hours).
