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.
