**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NSPS for Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG) (Renewal) 1. Identification of the Information Collection**  **1(a) Title of the Information Collection** NSPS for Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG) (Renewal) , EPA I CR Number 1071.1 1, OMB Control Number 2060

- 0028 **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart GG) were prop os ed on October 3, 1977, promulgated on September 10, 1979 (44 FR 52798) , and was last

- amended on February 24, 2006 . These regulations apply to facilities that have stationary gas turbines with a heat input at peak load equal or greater than 10.7 gigajoul es per hour (based on the lower heating value of the fuel fired). New facilities include those that commenced either construction, or modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart GG. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by

the owners/operators of the affected facilities

. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of an y startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility , or any period during which the monitoring sy stem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NSPS. Any owner / operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least two 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 directl y to the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) regional office. Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facility

at each plant site, and each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site). Over the next three ye ars, an average of 535 facilities per year will be subject to the se standard s , and it is estimated that no additional sources per year will becoming subject to the se standard s in the next three years. The respondents are all commercial corporations and operated b y the stationary gas turbines industry . None of the 535 facilities in the United States are owned by state, local, tribal or the Federal government. They are all owned and operated solel y b y privately

- owned , for

-2

profit businesses. T he burden to the “Affected Public” can be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG) (Renewal) . The Federal government burden associated with the review of reports submitted by the respondent is shown below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Stationary

Gas Turbine s (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG) (Renewal)

. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currentl y active Information Collection Request (I CR) without any “Terms of Clearance.”
**2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the**  **Collection** The EPA is charged under section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect:

**. . .** application of the best technological sy stem of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non - air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrat or determines has been adequatel y demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l). The Agency

refers to this charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology (BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards e very four years. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

owner or operator subject to an y requirement of this Act to:

(A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, sulfur dioxide ( SO 2 ) and nitrogen oxides (NO x) emissions from stationary gas turbines either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonabl y be anticipated to endanger public health and/ or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS3

was promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 60, subpart GG. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence i n legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance tests, a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Agen cy or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated, that leaks are being dete cted and repaired, and that the standard is being met. The performance test may also be observed. The information generated by the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements described in this I CR is used by the Agency

to ensure that facilities affected by the NESHAP continues to operate the control equipment in compliance with the regulation. Specificall y, data is being collected on performance of the continuous monitoring sy stems for sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and nitrogen oxides (NO x), and an y exc ess emissions or operating parameter exceedances. Recordkeeping is used to document the sulfur and nitrogen content of the fuel; fuel to water ratio; rate of fuel consumption; and ambient conditions. The fuel sulfur content and fuel to water ratio measur ements are used to monitor SO 2 and NO x emissions, respectively

. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures, and for compliance determinati ons. **3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart GG. **3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency . If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can4

be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist. **3(b) Publ ic Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB**  An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register ( 78 FR 33409 ) on June 4 , 2013

. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** The Agency

has consulted i ndustry

experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source of information as reported by industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTIS ) which is operated and maintained b y EPA's Office of Compliance. OTI S is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts. Approximately 535 respondents will be subject to the stan dard over the three ye ar period covered by this I CR.
Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard s as they were being developed and the standard s have been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. Indeveloping this ICR, we contacted : 1) the Electric Power Research Institute , at (650) 855

- 2121 ; and 2) the American Petroleum Institute , at (202) 682

- 8482. It is our policy

to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the f irst Federal Register n otice. In this ca se, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Coll ection**  Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations would be less likel y. **3(e) General Guidelines**
T hese reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.5

**3(f) Confidentiality** Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions**

Gas Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG). A source must make the following reports:

**Notification s**  Notification to construct/reconstruct 60.7(a)(1) Notification of actual startup 60.7(a)(3) Notification of ph ys ical or operational change which may increase the emission rate 60.7(a)(4) Notification of performance test 60.8(a) Notification of sources with continuous monitoring s ys tems 60.7(a)(5)8 **Reports** Report on initial performance test results 60.8(a) Report of excess emissions and monitoring s ys tems performance 60.7(c), 60.334(c) A source must keep the following records:
**Recordkeeping** Maintain records of startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring s ys tem is inoperative 60.7(b) Maintain records of fuel consumption and fuel to water ratio in the turbine, for sources using water injection to control NO 2 emissions 60.334(a) Maintain records of sulfur and nitrogen content of fuel used in turbine 60.334(b) Maintain records of all measurements, including continuous monitoring sy stem, monitoring device, performance testing measurements; all continuous monitoring sy stem performance evaluations; all continuous monitoring sy stem or monitoring device calibration checks 60.7(f)

Maintain all records for two years 60.7(f) Electronic Reporting Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with th e respondents continue to create reporting sy stems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 5 percent of the respon dents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for NO x and SO 2 , or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for water injection NO x control devices. Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 20 test, and repeat performance tests if9 **Respondent Activities** necessary
. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and sy stems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose o f disclosing and providing information. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way ( e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem ) . Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this ty pe of monitoring equipm ent has significantl y reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management**  **5(a) Agency Activities** EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.
**Agency Activities** Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTI S).10

**5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source ’ s init ial capability to comp ly with the emission standard and note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The sem iannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Complianc e. OT IS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses the OTI S for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement b y local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for two ye ars. **5(c) Small E ntity Flexibility** 
T he majority

of respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses)

. However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the ty pes of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. **5(d) Collection Schedule** The specific frequency

for each information collection activity within this request is shown in below Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG) (Renewal)

. **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection**  Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where ver appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

.11

The 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. **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirement s is estimated to be 68,447 hours ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below ). T hese hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the N SPS program , the previously

- approved ICR, and any comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $1 2 3

. 04 ($5 8

. 59 + 110%) Technical $ 10 1

. 2 2 ($4 8

. 2 0 + 110%) Clerical $ 51

. 1 8 ($2 4

. 37 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2013 , “ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from column 1, “ Total compensation. ” The rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs** The only costs to the regulated industry resulting from information collection activities required b y the subject standards are labor costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs.

**(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs** The only type of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the regulations is labor costs. There are no capital/startup or o peration and maintenance costs. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes such activities as the examination of records maint ained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be12

$ 221,800

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 6 2.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 8. 92 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 28. 88 + 60% ) Clerical $2 5.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 63 + 60% ) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) , 2013 General Schedule , which excludes locality , rates of pay

. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees
. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Stationary

Gas Turbines ( 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart GG) (Renewal). **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this I CR, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 535 existing respondents will be subject to the st andard s
. It is estimated that no additional respondents per ye ar will become subject to these standards . The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 535 per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR.

.14

**6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden**  There is no change in the number of affected facilities or the number of burden hours as currentl y identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens

. There is, however, an increase in the estimated labor costs for industry and a decrease in the estimated labor costs for the Agency compared to the previous I CR. This is not due to any program changes. They

are a result of updated industry labor rates, which resulted in an increase in industry

labor costs ; and a mathematical correction to the Agen cy cost estimate in the previous ICR. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 64 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; devel op, acquire, install, and utilize technology and s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing way s to compl y with any pr eviously

applicable instructions and requirements; 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. An agency may

not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
