    Title: NSPS for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion 
Engines (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2196.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0590.
    ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on August 31, 2009. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor

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 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for 
Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines were 
proposed on July 11, 2005, and promulgated on July 11, 2006. These 
regulations apply to stationary compression ignition (CI) internal 
combustion engines (ICE).
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit an 
initial notification report also manufacturers are required to submit 
an application for certification, including emission data and other 
descriptive information for each engine family subject to the standard. 
They are also required to maintain records of corrective action taken 
after the backpressure monitor has alerted the owner or operator of a 
high backpressure limit. Annual reports are also required.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart 
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at 
least two years following the collection 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 60, subpart IIII, as 
authorized in sections 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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information estimated to average one hour 
per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose and provide information either 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. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Stationary source compression 
ignition internal combustion engines.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 206,290.
    Frequency of Response: Initially and annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 192,197.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $19,015,209, which includes 
$18,773,209 in labor costs, $242,000 in operation and maintenance 
costs, and no capital/startup costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase of 47,062 
hours in the total estimated labor hour burden as currently identified 
in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens because the standard is 
now fully implemented. There has not been an increase in the number of 
facilities subject to the standard. It should be noted that the 
increase is not due to any program changes.
    The previous ICR covered the initial phase of standard 
implementation, which occurred over a three-year period. Hence, the 
average number of respondents during the initial phase is less than the 
number of respondents when the standard is fully implemented. This ICR 
shows the labor hour burden after full implementation.
    There are no changes of cost in the capital/startup and operating 
and maintenance (O&M) costs associated with this ICR.
