    Title: NESHAP for Engine Test Cells/Stands (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2066.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0483.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2008. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    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 report 
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. 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 is to be achieved.
    The information generated by monitoring, recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements described in this ICR are 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. Owners or operators of engine test cells/stands facilities 
subject to the rule must maintain a file of these measurements, and 
retain the file for at least five 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. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPP, as authorized in section 
112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists 
of emissions data and other information that have been determined to be 
private.
    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 Number 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 is 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 requirements which have subsequently changed; 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: Engine test cells/stands.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 18.
    Frequency of Response: Semiannually, annually, and initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,043.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $248,264. Including $5,400 in O&M 
costs, no annualized capital costs, and $242,864 in labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or 
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR; however, a rounding 
error was corrected in the Annual Cost. There are no changes due to two 
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden.
    Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there 
is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in 
the previous ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden 
to industry.
