NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS (NSPS) FOR STATI ONARY SPARK IGNI TI ON INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES (40 CFR PART 60, SUBPART JJJJ)

1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION (a) Title of the Information Collection

“NSPS for Stationary

Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ), I CR 2227.02, OMB Control Number 2060

-NEW .” (b) Short Characterization This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that would be imposed by

the “Standards of Performan ce for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines,” 40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ. These standards fulfill the requirements of section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended in 1990, which requires the EPA to promulgate standards for stationary

internal combustion engines. The EPA has determined that for purposes of promulgating new source performance standards (NSPS) regulations, the stationary internal combustion engine source category should be split into two source categories

- compressio n ignition (CI) engines and spark ignition (SI) engines. The NSPS for stationary CI engines were published on July

11, 2006 (71 FR 39154 ). The information collection activities in this I CR include initial notifications for non certified engines greater than 500 hp, records of engine maintenance for all SI internal combustion engines (I CE), records of operating hours for emergency SI I CE, performance test data for owners and operators of non - certified stationary SI engines, and test data and activities

as sociated with obtaining engine certification for engine manufacturers. The information collection activities will enable the EPA to determine initial and continuous compliance with the requirements of the final rule.2

2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTI ON (a) Need/Authority for the Collection The EPA is required under section 111 of the CAA to establish standards of performance for new stationary

sources that reflect the application of the best technological sy stem of continuous emissions reduction whi ch (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. The Agency refers to this charge a s selecting the best demonstrated technology . 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 require an y owner or 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 or methods (in accordance with such methods at such locations, at such intervals, a nd in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (D) sample such emissions; (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications; and (G) provide such other information as he may

reasonably

require.

Certain reports are necessary to enable the Administrator to identify stationary

SI engines subject to the regulation and to determine if the standards are being achieved. (b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data The information will be used by the EPA to identify

sources subject to the NSPS and ensure that the emission standards are being met. Records and reports are necessary to enable3

the EPA to identify

facilities that may

not be in compliance with the requirements. Based on reported information, EPA will decide which facilities should be inspected and what records or units should be inspected at the facilities. The records that facilities maintain will indicate to EPA whether facility

personnel are operating and maintaining the equipment properl y.

3. NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA (a) Nonduplication Duplication in the reporting of stationary SI engine information is not anticipated. I f the standard has not been delegated, the information is sent to the appropriate EPA Regional Office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated State or local agency . If a State or local agency

has adopted its own similar regulation t o implement the Federal regulation, 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 b y the Federal standard. Therefore, no duplication exists. (b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB A public notice of this collection will be provided in the final NSPS. (c) Consultations EPA has met with the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) on several occasions, as well as other affected entities that will be subject to the new emission standards. The public also had the opportunity

to review and comment on the proposed NSPS and the I CR during the specified comment period. (d) Effects of Less Frequent Data Collection The frequency

of the data collection requirements wa s chosen b y the EPA to provide reasonable assurance that engines are in compliance with the standard. Annual reporting for certifying engine families is necessary to align with the regulatory requirement to certify

engine families every

year.4

(e) Gene ral Guidelines None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contained in the final NSPS for stationary SI I CE violate any

of the regulations established by OMB in CFR 1320.5. (f) Confidentiality The ty pe of data that would be required from owner s and operators is principally owner/operator and engine identification information and would not be confidential. If any information is submitted to the EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is made, the information would be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

-- Confidentiality of Business Information. We hold information from the engine manufacturers as confidential until the associated engines are available for purchase. Manufacturers m ay submit proprietary

information, consisting generall y of sales projections and certain sensitive technical descriptions. We grant confidentiality

in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, and class d eterminations issued by our Office of General Council. (g) Sensitive Questions This section is not applicable because the IC R does not involve matters of a sensitive nature. 4. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED (a) Respondents/NAICS Codes R espondents are owners or operators of new, modified or reconstructed stationary SI ICE, as well as manufacturers of stationary SI ICE. These standards affect any industry , State, local, or tribal government using a stationary SI internal combustion engine . The North American Industrial Classification Sy stem (NAI CS) codes for facilities using stationary SI I CE affected b y the regulation include: 2211 (Electric Power Generation, Transmission, or Distribution), 622110 (Medical and Surgical Hospitals), 33531 2 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), 33391 (Pump and Compressor Manufacturing), and 333992 (Welding and5

Soldering Equipment Manufacturing), 486210 (Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas), 211111 (Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Production), 2111112 (Nat ural Gas Liquids Producers), and 92811 (National security).

(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items : Attachment 1, Source Data and Information Requirements, summarizes the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of this regulation for owners and operators of stationary

SI I CE. In addition, manufacturers are required to submit an application for certification, including emission data and other descriptive information for each engine family subject to the emission standards. (ii) Respondent Activitie s : The respondent activities required b y the regulation as they relate to owners and operators as well as engine manufacturers are provided under the first column of Tables 1 through 3, introduced in section 6(a). (iii) Summary

of Requirements : The info rmation collection activities in this I CR for owners and operators of stationary SI I CE include initial notifications for non

- certified engines greater than 500 hp, records of proper engine maintenance, the operating hours of emergency SI ICE, and an y perf

ormance test data used to demonstrate compliance for non

- certified engines or certified engines operating in a non

- certified manner (if they are greater than 100 hp)

. Manufacturers of certified SII CE must follow the procedures outlined in the final rule to certify certain stationary

SI I CE. The rule requires facilities to meet emission limitations for nitrogen oxides (NO x), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC), non - methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) , and volatile organic compounds (VOC) . For about half of owners and operators of SI ICE less than 500 hp, EPA expects that compliance will be demonstrated through purchasing a certified stationary

SI IC E. Owners and operators of non

- certified engines can demonstrate compliance b y submitting performance test results from a similar engine or by submitting engine manufacturer or control device vendor information that shows that the engine will meet the6

emission limitations. Alternativel y, if none of the information described is available, owners and operators o f non - certified stationary SI I CE can demonstrate compliance by conducting a performance test. The EPA estimates that the majority of engines greater than 500 hp will not be certified. It is assumed that stationary SII CE will remain in continuous compli ance if the engine is a certified engine. Performance tests for non - certified engines that are greater than 500 hp must be repeated every

3 years or 8,760 hours, whichever comes first. Owners and operators of emergency stationary

SI engines are require d to install a non

resettable hour meter to monitor the total number of hours operated. Information EPA has obtained indicates that an hour meter is ty picall y included with the engine so no separate cost for the hour meter was estimated. The information will be used to ensure that owners and operators do not exceed the number of hours allowed b y the NSPS for maintenance and testing purposes, i.e., 100 hours per ye ar. Owners and operators must also keep records of why the engine was operated. 5. THE INFO RMATION COLLECTED
-- AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT (a) Agency Activities A list of Agency

activities for the first 3 years following the effective date of the standard is provided in Tables 4 through 6, which are i ntroduced in section 6(c). (b) Collection Methodology and Management Data obtained during periodic visits by EPA personnel, from records maintained by the respondents, and from information provided in notifications will be tabulated and published for int ernal EPA use in compliance and enforcement programs. Records of measurements, maintenance, reports, and records must be retained for two years following the date of the item. (c) Small Entity Flexibility Minimizing the information collection burden for all sizes of organizations is a continuing effort for the EPA. The final rule applies to engine manufacturers as well as owners7

and operators of stationary SI ICE. To limit the impact on small entities, only sources with non certified engines with a max imum hp greater than 500 must submit an initial notification. However, owners and operators of all SII CE must conduct performance tests on all non - certified engines (unless the engine is a certified engine less than 100 hp operated in a non

- certified

manner) , but onl y engines greater than 500 hp have to conduct subsequent testing. It is currentl y estimated that 7,694 new non - certified engines will be sold in 2008. Approximately 6,000 of these non - certified engines are less than 500 hp. More than 1,000 of these engines are less than 50 hp. The majority

of the responsibility

for small engines falls on the engine manufacturers. Engine manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that the engines will meet the emission limitations during its entire useful li fe. We expect more small engines will be certified by engine manufacturers than large engines. In addition, we expect more small engines will already be certified for nonroad use than large engines. Thus, small entities will be required to conduct fewer performance tests than large sources, reducing the impact on small sources. Furthermore, although the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for small and large businesses, these requirements are considered the minimum needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot be reduced further for small businesses. (d) Collection Schedule Owners and operators who must submit an initial notification must submit the initial notification no later than 30 day s after the date construction or reconstruction commences. Records of hours of operation for emergency stationary

SI ICE and justification of why the engine was operated must be maintained continuously . Owners and operators of non - certified SI ICE must conduct initial performance tests accordi ng to the schedule in 40 CFR 60.8(f). Owners and operators of non - certified SII CE that are greater than 500 hp must conduct subsequent performance tests every

3 years or 8,760 hours, whichever comes first. Owners and operators of all SII CE must record any maintenance conducted on the engine. Other reporting requirements8

are associated with engine certification to the emission standards, which begin to appl y as earl y as July 2007 for some engines.

6. ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION (a) Estimating Respondent Burden The stationary

SI internal combustion engine NSPS is estimated to affect an average of about 16,5 00 new engines in each of the next 3 years, or a total of nearl y 50,000 en gines over 3 ye ars. Of the 16,5 00 new engines ea ch ye ar, it is estimated that about 50 percent of this total will be certified b y the engine manufacturer; however, the percentage of engines certified b y the manufacturer varies with engine size, ty pe and fuel. For engines 25

- 50 hp, it was estimated that 50 percent of engines with any t yp e of fuel will be certified. It is estimated that all gasoline and rich burn liquid petroleum gas (LPG) fired engines above 50 hp will be certified. Manufacturers are expected to certify

approximately

50 percent of lean burn engines and engines fired with fuels other than gasoline or LPG with a maximum hp less than 500. Only 20 percent of engines with a maximum hp greater than or equal to 500 hp will be certified. Only non - certified engines greater than 500 hp need to submit an initial notification. Owners and operators will demonstrate compliance by purchasing certified stationary SI I CE or conducting performance tests. I f compliance is achieved using performance testing and the maximum hp of the engine is greater than 500, additional performance tests are required every 3 ye ars or 8,760 hours, whichever comes first. For this analy sis, it was assumed that only one performance test would be conducted for an y one engine in the first 3 years. Owners and operators of e mergency

engines will be required to keep records of the number of hours during emergency

and maintenance and testing. Owners and operators of any t ype SII CE must record all maintenance conducted on the engine. (b) Estimating Respondent Costs The inform ation collection activities for sources subject to these requirements are presented in9

Tables 1 through 3 . Certification costs for engine manufacturers were estimated in Table 5.2.1

- 4 of the document, “Final Regulatory Support Document: Control of Emissio ns from Unregulated Nonroad Engines.” This cost includes the cost of certifying the engine to the emission standards and the cost for in

- use testing and upgrades to the facility . Adjusting these costs to 2005 dollars using the consumer price index, certi fication costs of $13 per engine for 25 to 300 hp engines, $32 for 300 to 600 hp SIengines, and $153 for greater than 600 hp engines were used to estimate certification costs. The number of engines estimated to be certified b y engine manufacturers was ba sed on the percentages given in paragraph 6(a) reduced b y the number of engines that are already certified for nonroad use. Engine manu facturers provided estimates of the number of engines that will be certified to EPA small engine regulation Part 90. Th ese estimates were similar to those in paragraph 6(a). To certify SI engines for stationary use that have been certified for nonroad use, the source must submit the nonroad certification information for approval. This only occurs once for each engine family . Since no information is currently available for the number of SI engine families, it was assumed that the number of families is similar to CI engines. Hence it was assumed that 200 SIengine families will have been certified for nonroad use. It is assumed that only one technical person

- hour is necessary to submit approval certification for use as a stationary engine that already

certified for nonroad use. Non

- certified engines would require an initial compliance test, which was estimated to cost $1,000 per engine using portable anal yz ers. This would cover costs to test all regulated pollutants. The NSPS impact for this category of engines includes the cost of notification and recordkeeping, each of which was estimated to be 1 hour per ye ar. Th e total cost for each respondent activity includes labor costs. Labor rates, on a per

hour basis, are taken from the Bureau of Labor Statistics web site http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.toc.htm) as posted for December 2005, except when noted10 TABLE 1 . RESPONDENT BURDEN AND COST OF REPORTING FOR THE FIRST YEAR

otherwise in the tables. The base labor rates are $29.24 for technical/professional personnel, $33.98 for management, and $14.30 for clerical. The total compensation rate is $40.62 for technical/professional personnel, $48.56 for managerial, and $20.31 for clerical. This accounts for paid leave, insurance, etc. The compensation rates were then adjusted by an overhead and profit rate of 167 percent. The final total wage rates are $68 for technical/professional personnel, $81 for management, and $34 for clerical. (c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost Because the information collection requirements were developed as an incidental part of standards development, no costs can be attributed to the development of the information collection requirements. Because reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of the respondents are required under section 111 of the CAA, no operational costs will be incurred b y the Federal government. Examination of records to be maintained b y the respondents would occur incidentally

as part of the peri odic inspection of sources that is part of the EPA’s overall compliance and enforcement program and, therefore, is not attributable to the I CR. The Agency

burden and cost estimates include only those items where the government would incur additional costs as a result of the information collection. These costs include user costs associated with the review and anal ys is of the reported information. These are presented in Tables 4 through 6. The hourl y burden for review of reports was estimated through discussion with personnel from local agencies who review these ty pes of reports. Each report reviewed for certification represents an engine family . For this anal ys is, the number of SI engine families were assumed to be the same as the number of CI engine families (i.e., 200 engine families currentl y certified for nonroad use and 35 currently non - certified engine families). Labor rates for Federal employees are based on the January

2006, Office of Personnel Management pay rates for General Schedule employees (see http://www.opm.gov/oca/06tables/html ). The pay rates were multiplied by

the standard government benefits multiplication factor of 1.6. The resulting average hourl y labor14 TABLE 4.

costs are $48 for technical personnel, $80 for management, and $28 for clerical. To oversee the certification program f or the nonroad SIengine rule, EPA estimated that the Agency ’s burden would be app roximately 2,500 hours or $100,000. This was based on projecting 50 hours per week at $40 per hour. The number of nonroad engine families expected to be certified is 1,077. The Agency ’s burden per engine famil y would therefore be approximately

2.3 hours . For the engine families that are stationary onl y and that will have to conduct all elements of certification, the EPA believes it is appropriate to assume the same level of effort, i.e., about 2 hours per engine famil y. However, for engine families th at are currently certified for nonroad use, but that will additionally have to be certified for stationary use (200 engine families), minimal effort is expected to be involved and EPA estimates that the Agency will spend approximately 1 hour of technical l abor for these engine families. The total annual average burden for the Agency is 25,754 hours and $1,225,064. (d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs The respondent universe was estimated using information developed b y Powe r S ys tems Research. This information included new engine sales from 1990 to 2002. The average annual increase in engine sales was added for each ye ar to estimate the 2008

- 2010 new engine sales. In formation provided b y engine manufacturers allowed distribution of the engines b y engine ty pe. The total burden is calculated b y adding the cost of performance testing for engine certification and for non - certified engines and the cost of technical, management, and clerical hours per ye ar. The technical hours are calculated by multiplying the total hours per respondent by the number of respondents per year for each respondent activity . Management and clerical hours are assumed to be 5 percent and 10 percent of the technical hours, respectively , unless noted otherwise. The total cost is calculated by summing the labor and performance testing costs. The labor costs are determined by multiplying the total labor hours by the total wage rate for each labor category . Total cost is presented in the far right column of each table (Tables 1

- 3)

(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables (i) Respondent Tally A breakdown for each of the collection, reporting, and recordkeeping activities required b y the NSPS is presented in Tables 1 through 3. The estimate of tot al annual hours requested from the respondents was based on the assumptions outlined in section 6(d) of this supporting statement. The EPA estimated the respondent burden by totaling the hours for the first 3 years after the implementation of the NSPS for technical, managerial, and clerical staff at the facility, and then dividing that total by three to determine the average annualized burden. The 3

- ye ar summary results are presented in Table 7. The total number of responses for these respondents over th e first 3 ye ars after the implementation of the NSPS is estimated to be 80,674 , or an average of 26, 891 per year. For the first 3 years after the implementation of the NSPS, the EPA estimates that industry would expend 31,693 hours annually at a cost of a

bout $10 million per year to meet the recordkeeping and reporting requirements and requirements related to obtaining engine certification and demonstration of compliance. (ii) The Agency

Tall y A breakdown for each of the Agency activities required for the NSPS is provided in Tables 4 through 6. The bottom line Agency burden hours and costs, presented in Table 8, are calculated b y totaling the hours per ye ar for technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and b y totaling the cost column. The average annual burden is calculated by dividing the 3

- ye ar total by three. The estimated average annual burden, over the first 3 years, for the Agency

would be 25,754 hours at a cost of $1,225,064 per ye ar. (iii) Variations in the Annual Bottom L ine There is very little variation in the number of respondent labor hours for the first three years. Only a slight increase in the number of engines sold (1.5 percent) makes each subsequent year slightly higher. The ty

pical number of respondent labor hours is around 2 h ours (e.g., year 1 : 31, 175/16,285 = 1.91). This represents a total cost to this respondent of $620 (e.g., ye ar 1: $ 9,849,188/16,285 = $6 0 5 ). The total burden and cost estimates for the first 3 years after the NSPS is promulgated are19

respondent burden and cost is shown in the tables. In years 1, 2, and 3, the total costs are $ 9,849,188 ; $ 9,851,400 ; and $10, 017,042 ; respectively (see Tables 1 through 3 and 7). In the first ye ar , 2,142 engines will be required to submit initial notifications, 3,465 will submit complete certifications for stationary use, 200 engine families will submit applications for nonroad engines to be approve d for stationary use, 16, 285 engines will record maintenance and 421 emergency engines will be recording their hours of operation during non

- emergen cies. In the second ye ar, 2,204 more engines will be required to submit initial notifications, 3,737 will

s ubmit complete certifications for stationary use, 200 engine families will submit applications for nonroad engines to be approved for stationary use, 16,538 engines will record maintenance and 427 emergency

engines will be recording their hours of operatio n during non

- emergencies. By the third year, 2,275 more engines will be required to submit initial notifications, 3,771 will submit complete certifications for stationary use, 200 engine families will submit applications fornonroad engines to be ap prove d for stationary use, 16,7 9 1 engines will record maintenance and 433 emergency

engines will be recording their hours of operation during non

- emergencies. The total number of agency hours for review of initial notifications increases slightly each ye ar bec ause the number of new engines increases slightly each ye ar. As estimated, the agency ’s effort related to engine certification applications does not change from year to year because the same number of engine families will be certified each ye ar. The larg est portion of agency burden required b y the SI NSPS, nearly 90 percent, is reviewing performance tests that demonstrate compliance for engines that are not certified. The total number of agency hours for ye ars 1, 2, and 3 ranges from 2 5 , 559 to 26,102 . T he corresponding agency cost for activities durin g these years ranges from $1,215,812 to $1,241,690 (see Table 8).
