# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

# ACTION:

Notice.

# SUMMARY:

                        The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (EPA ICR Number 1053.13, OMB Control Number 2060-0023), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through February 28, 2021. Public comments were previously requested via the                         **Federal Register**                         on May 12, 2020 during a 60-day comment period. This notice 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 neither conduct nor 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 February 10, 2021.

*Abstract:*                     The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 60, subpart A),                           ( print page 1964)                        and any changes, or additions to these Provisions, are specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Da. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 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. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Da.                

*Form Numbers:*                     None.                

*Respondents/affected entities:*                     Owners or operators of electric utility steam generating units.                

*Respondent's obligation to respond:*                     Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Da).                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     732 (total).                

*Frequency of response:*                     Semiannually, quarterly.                

*Total estimated burden:*                     171,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).                

*Total estimated cost:*                     $31,000,000 (per year), which includes $11,000,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is a decrease in burden from the currently approved ICR due to a slight decrease in the number of respondents. Based on consultations with agency experts, we expect no new coal-fired boilers under subpart Da and the discontinued use of some existing coal-fired units within the industry, thus reducing the number of respondents required to conduct recordkeeping and reporting. This results in a reduction in labor burden and eliminates costs associated with initial notifications and capital/startup costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
