Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines 
(Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Stationary 
Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR 
No. 1967.05, OMB Control No. 2060-0540) to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork

allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller 
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden 
and cost to the public. 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.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before August 21,

    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
YYYY.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit an 
initial notification report, performance tests, and periodic reports 
and results. Owners or operators 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. Reports are required semiannually 
at a minimum.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Stationary combustion turbines.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (63 CFR part 63, 
subpart YYYY).
    Estimated number of respondents: 105 (rounded).
    Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,338 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $165,056 (per year), includes $10,750 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 903 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is due to several adjustments, which are 
stated below:
    First, we have revised the number of respondents to make ICR 
estimates consistent with the economic impact analysis, which contains 
the most recent information on existing and new sources. Based on the 
analysis, an average of 96 existing and 8.7 new sources per year will 
be subject to the standard. By contrast, the most recently approved ICR 
estimated 22 existing and 9 new sources per year, and did not provide a 
clear basis for its estimates and underlying assumptions. The increase 
in labor burden and cost for both respondents and the Agency is 
primarily due to the revised number of sources, particularly existing 
sources which accounts for industry growth.
    Second, we have revised both respondent and Agency labor burdens 
and costs so that they accurately reflect the reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements associated with each subcategory. The 
previous ICR only reflected burdens attributed to new sources in the 
gas-fired and oil-fired subcategories, and did not account for any 
sources in the landfill/digester gas-fired subcategory.
    Finally, there is an increase in the capital/startup cost as 
compared to the previous ICR. This increase is the result of including 
contractor labor associated with catalyst inlet temperature monitor 
installation. This labor was presented in the previous ICR as a 
respondent burden rather than a capital cost. Since the contractor 
labor applies solely to a capital/startup activity, it should be 
presented it as a capital/startup cost rather than a respondent burden. 
We

also have updated the labor rates to reflect current private-industry 
rates.
