    Title: NESHAP for Engine Test Cells/Stands (Renewal).
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP), for Engine Test Cells/Stands were proposed on May 
14, 2002 (67 FR 34547), and promulgated on May 27, 2003 (68 FR 28785). 
These standards apply to any existing, reconstructed, or new affected 
sources. An affected source is the collection of all equipment and 
activities associated with engine test cells/stands used for testing 
uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile engines. Respondents of 
affected sources are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart A, the General Provisions, unless the regulation specifies 
otherwise.
    Owners and operators must submit an initial notification reports 
upon the construction, or reconstruction of any engine test cells/
stands used for testing internal combustion engines. The respondents 
are required to submit a semiannual compliance report. If there were no 
deviations from the emission limitation and the continuous emission 
monitoring system (CEMS) was operating correctly, the semiannual report 
must contain a statement that no deviation occurred. If a deviation 
occurred from an emission limit, the report must contain detailed 
information of the nature of the deviation(s). Performance test reports 
are the Agency's records of a source's initial capability to comply 
with the emission standards, and serve as a record of the operating 
conditions under which compliance was achieved. The information 
generated by monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements 
described in this ICR is used by the Agency to ensure that facilities 
affected by the standard continue to operate the control equipment and 
achieve continuous compliance with the regulation. In the event that 
there is no delegated state or local authority, the reports are sent 
directly to the EPA Regional Office.
    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, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information are estimated to average 76 
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

[[Page 28935]]

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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of engine test 
cells/stands.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 18.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, semiannually, and annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,043 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $248,264, which includes $0 
annualized Capital/Startup costs, $5,400 annual O&M costs, and $242,864 
Respondent Labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 203 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. The rule requires that all sources will conduct a 
performance evaluation and monitoring demonstration once every five 
years. Because of this ruling, the first six sources in the active ICR 
will be required to conduct this test on the third year of this 
renewal. Since the annualized burden for initial evaluation and 
demonstration is computed by averaging over the 3 year period of the 
ICR, we have also averaged the additional six update sources to reflect 
two additional sources per year for the 5-year update.
