**NSPS for**  **Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR Part**  **60 , Subpart**  **Y ) (Renewal)** 
**1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection**  NSPS for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR Part 60 , Subpart Y) (Renewal), EPA I CR Number 1062.13 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0122

. **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Coal Preparation and Proce ssing Plants were proposed on October 24, 1974, promulgated on January 15, 1976 , and amended on October 8, 2009

. These regulations apply to existing and new facilities that perform coal preparation and processing activities. The 2009 final rule amendment includes revisions to the emission limits for particulate matter (PM) and opacity standards for thermal dryers, p neumatic coal cleaning equipment, and coal handling equipment (coal processing and conveying equipment, coal storage systems, and coal transfer and loading s ys tems) located at coal preparation and processing plant s that commence construction, modification, or reconstruction after April 28, 2008

. The amendment also establish es a sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emission limit and a combined nitrogen oxide (NO x) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions limit for thermal dryers , and establishes work practice standards to control fugitive coal dust emissions from open storage piles located at coal preparation and processing plants that commence construction, modification, or reconstruction after May 27, 2009

. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Y

. In gen eral, 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 any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring s ys tem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all a ffected facilities 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. Over the next three ye ars, an average of 1,037 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the standard , with an additional 5 respondents per year will become subject to the standard. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currentl y active IC R without any

“Terms of Clearance.”2

The “Affected Public” is owners or operators of coal preparation and processing plants

. The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Coal Preparatio n and Processing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Y) (Renewal) . The burden to the “Federal Government” is attributed entirel y to work performed b y either F ederal emplo yees or government contractors; this burden is found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Y) (Renewal).
**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 system 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 Administrator determines has been adequatel y demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l). The Agency

re fers to this charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology (BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every four years. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may r equire any owner/operator subject to any

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, PM, SO 2 , NOx, and CO emissions from coal preparation and processing plants cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably

be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source3

category at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Y

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in 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 th e performance test 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 Agency or its delegated authorities when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority

may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated and/or leaks are being detected and repaired and the standard s are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance pro cedures and for compliance determinations.
**3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart Y

. **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 can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist. **3(b) Pub lic 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 ( 77 FR 47631 ) on August 9, 2012 . No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

.4

**3(c) Consultations** The Agency

has consulted industry

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.
Industry trade association s and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed and the standard s have previousl y been reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. During the development of the current ICR, we contacted : 1) the American Public Power Association (APPA) , at ( 202) 467

- 2900 ; 2) the National Mining Ass ociation (NMA) , at (202) 463

- 2600 ; and 3) the American Petroleum Institute (API) , at (202) 682

- 8000. 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 case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection**  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. I f the information required by these standards was collected less frequently , the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations w ould be less likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines**
These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five

- ye ar records retention requirement is consistent the Part 70 permit program and the five

- year statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five ye ars allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of non

- compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action

. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five ye ars. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.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**
The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes**  The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are owners and operators of coal preparation and processing plants

. The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SI C) codes for the respondents affected by the standards and the corresponding North American Industry Classification System (NAI CS) codes are listed below for this source category

. **Standard (40 CFR**  **P art**  **60, S**  **ubpart Y** **) SIC Codes**  **NAICS Code s**  Bituminous Coal and Lignite Surface Mining 1221 212111 Bituminous Coal Underground Mining 1222 212112 Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation 4911, 4931, 4939 221112 American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal Governments 8641 921150 Anthracite Mining 1231 212113 Support Activities for Coal Mining 1241 213113 Paper (except Newsprint) Mills 2611, 2621 322121 Petrochemical Manufacturing 2865, 2869 325110 All Other Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing 2999, 3312 324199 Cement Manufacturing 3241 327310 Iron and Steel Mills 3312 331111 **4(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items** 
In this ICR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required b y the NSPS for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR P art 60, S ubpart Y).6

A source must make the following reports:
**Notification s**  Notification and application of construction or modification. 60.7(a) Notification of anticipated date of initial startup. 60.7(a) Notification of actual startup. 60.7(a) Notification of phys ical or operational change which may increase the emission rate. 60.7(a) Notification of performance test. 60.8 **Reports** Initial performance test results 60.258(c) Repeat performance test results 60.258(d) Semiannual excess emission reports 60.7(c), 60.258(b) A source must keep the following records: **Recordkeeping** Startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative 60.7(b) Maintain a written or electronic logbook 60.258(a) Records are required to be retained for two (2) years 60.7(f ) Records of ongoing monitoring 60.7(f ) Fugitive Coal Dust Emissions Control Plan 60.254(c) Bag Leak Detection System Site

- Specific Plan 60.256(c) 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 recordke eping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with the 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 th at approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.7 **(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Perform initial performance test using EPA Method 5, 9, and 22 , and repeat performance tests if 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 of disclosing and providing informatio n. Adjust the existing way s to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements. 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 type of monitoring equipment has significantly 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).8

**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 ini tial capability to compl y with the emission standard. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual 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 Compliance. 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 an d 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 Entity Flexibility** There are no small entities (i.e., small businesses) affected b y this regulation. However, it is not clear if any future facilities subject to the NSPS would be owned by small entities. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the types 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 Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Y) (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. Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

.9

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 record

keeping and reporting requirement s is es timated to be 41,99 8 ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency

knowledge and experience with the NSPS program , the previously approved ICR, and any co mments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $1 21

. 4 4 ($5 7

. 8 3 + 110%) Technical $ 100

. 23 ($4 7

. 73 + 110%) Clerical $ 50

. 5 1 ($2 4

. 05 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2012 , “ 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 p ercent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs** The ty pe of industry

costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. Th e capital/startup costs are one

- time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor s and other costs such as photocop yi ng and postage.

The estimates are based on conservative control implementation assumption that all affected respondents will choose to use enclosures vented to fabric filters to comply with the rule. In actuality many respondents are expected to choose alternative controls allowed under the rule, such as fogging systems, wet suppres sion, and passive enclosure containment system (PECS) that do not require Method 5 performance testing. 2 The capital cost associated with procurement and installation of bag leak detection systems for the fabric filters was annual ized assuming a 7 percent interest rate and 10

- year life (i.e., capital recovery factor of 0.1424). 3 Both Method 5 and Method 9 testing are usually conducted by a contractor such that the cost of the emissions testing

. 4 The annual costs associated with the purchase of monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting supplies is estimated to be $38,2 90 for 14 facilities ($38,290/ 14 = $2,735 per facility). These costs are assumed to only apply to facilities subject to the final rule amendment (i.e. facilities constructed, reconstructed, or modified after April 28, 2008). The total capital/startup costs for this I CR are $282,40 0

. This is the total o f column D in the above table. The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this I CR are $65,640. This is the total of column G. The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry

over the next three years of the IC R is estimated to be $348,04 0

. These are recordkeeping 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 activities such as the examination of records maintained 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 be $4 5 0, 215

. 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

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 63 + 60% ) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) , 20 1 2 General Schedule , which excludes locality , rates of pay

. The rates have been increased b y 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees
. Details upon which this estimate is11

based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Y) (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 1,032 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that an additional 5 respondents per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below is 1,037 per year. The number of respondents i s calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR. **Number of Respondents** Year (A) Number of Ne w Respondents 1 (B)

Additionally, the ICR assumes that two of the new sources over a three

- year period (2 sources/3 = 0.7 source/year) will have the type of coal truck dump affected facilities subject to the 2009 rule amendment. The number of Total Annual Responses is 2, 180 (rounded). The total annual labor costs are $4,066,701

. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Y) (Renewal)

. **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency

are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively , and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 41,99 8 at a cost of $4,066,701

. Details regarding these estimates may

be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Y) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 19 hours per response

. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $348,04 0

. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.

**(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 9,991 labor hours at a cost of $4 5 0, 215 . See below Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Y) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory

of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the most recent IC R reflects13

burdens associated with the final rule amendment, which only applies to sources constructed, reconstructed, or modified on or after April 28, 2008 (i.e. new sources). This I CR estimates the burdens for both existing sources subject to the standard and new sources covered under the rule amendment. Additionally, this ICR uses updated labor rates to calculate all burden costs. This results in an increase in labor hours and costs for both the respondents and the Agency

. There is an adjustment decrease in capital/startup costs in this ICR as compared to the previous I CR. The decrease occurred because the previous I CR assumes all new sources were constructed during Year 1 of the three

- year period, and that all capital/startup costs for new sources were incurred that year. This ICR assumes a constant growth rate in the respondent universe over the three

- year period and calculates the average capital/startup costs per ye ar. Additionally , there is an increase in the total O&M costs. The increase is due to a growth in the respondent universe subject to on

- going O&M costs since the last I CR. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 9 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 previously

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.

- year period of this ICR b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $121.44 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $100.23 per hour for Techni cal labor, and $50.51 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2012 ”Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from column 1, ”Total compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those em ployed by priv ate industry. c This ICR assumes that 2 of the 14 new sources over a 3

- year period (2 sources/3 = 0.7 source/year) will have the type of coal truck dump affected facilities subject to the 2009 rule amendment. d These requirements only apply to sources subject to the 2009 final rule amendment, i.e. sources constructed, reconstructed, or modified after April 28, 2008. EPA assumes that on average over the period covered under this ICR, there are 24 sources subject to the final rule amendment. EPA also assumes that 50 percent of sources elect to perform daily walkthrough visual emission observations for compliance monitoring, and 50 percent of sourc es elect to perform repeat Method 9 opacity testing for compliance monitoring.
e All new and existing source s are subject to semiannual reporting. f We have assumed that each respondent will take one hour once per month to transmit electronic data. g We have assumed that each new respondent will take eight hours three time per year to observe procedures.18
