SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY NSPS for Small Industrial
- Commercial
- Institutional Steam Generating Units 1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection NSPS for Small Industrial

- Commercial

- Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR p art 60, s ubpart Dc) (Renewal) 1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for small industrial

- commercial

institutional steam generating units, published at 40 CFR 60.40c, were proposed on June 9, 1989, and promulgated on September 12, 1990. These standards appl y to industrial

- commercial

institutional steam generating units with maximum design heat input capacity of 29 megawatts (MW) (100 million Btu/hr) or less, b ut greater than or equal to 2.9 MW (10 million Btu/hr), commencing construction, modification, or reconstruction after June 9, 1989. The standards limit the emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and particulate matter (PM). For the purposes of this document, new units are those affected units that have had construction, modification, or reconstruction within the last three ye ars. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Dc. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. 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 durin g which the monitoring s ys tem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NSPS. Any owner or 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 delegat ed authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Based on our consultations with industry r epresentatives, there is an average of 1.7 affected facilities at each plant site and that ea ch plant site has only o ne respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site). Over the next three ye ars, an average of 235 facilities per year will be subject to the standard, and it is estimated that eleven additional sources per year will becom e s ubject to the standard in the next three years. There are approximately

235 small industrial

- commercial

- institutional steam generating2

units in the United States, which are all publicly owned and operated b y the small industrial

- commercial

- institutional s team generating industry. None of the 235 facilities in the United States are owned by either state, local, tribal or the Federal Government. They are all owned and operated solely b y privately owned for

- profit businesses. You can find the burden to the “Affected Public” listed below in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost

- NSPS for Small Industrial

- Commercial

- Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR p art 60, s ubpart Dc ) . The Federal government burden does not include work performed b y Federal employees onl y work performed b y contractors, which could be found listed below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden

- NSPS for Small Industrial

- Commercial

- Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR p art 60, s ubpart Dc )

. The Office of Management and Bu dget (OMB) approved the currently active ICR 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 s ection 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish stand ards 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 heal th and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator 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 every four years. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any o wner or operator subject to any

requirement of this Act to: (A) Establish and maintain such r ecords; (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 acc ordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require.3

In the Administrator's judgment, SO 2 and PM emissions from small industrial

- commercial

institutional steam generating units cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably

be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS was promulgated for this source category

at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Dc. 2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data The recordkeeping and r eporting 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.
P erformance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility’s i nitial 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 Agency or delegated autho rity 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 detected and repaired, an d that the standard is being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual and quarterly reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify

problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures, and for compliance determinations. 3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart Dc. 3(a) Nonduplication If the subject standards have not been delegat ed, the information is sent directly 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 h as adopted their own similar standards to implement the Federal s tandards, 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 standards. Therefore, no duplication exists. 3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this IC R was published in the Federal Register ( 7 2 FR 1073 5 ) on March 9, 2007. N o comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

.4

3(c) Consultations Over the next thre e ye ars, an average of 235 facilities per year will be subject to the standard, with eleven additional sources per ye ar becoming subject to the standard. In estimating the affected number of sources and the growth rate of small industrial

- commercial

- insti tutional steam generating facilities subject to this standard, EPA contacted Mr. Stephen D. Smith at (518) 439

- 8235, Novus Engineering PC, and Mr. Robert Bessette at (703) 250

- 9042, Council of Industrial Boiler Owners (CIBO) who also consulted with owners and council members. We referenced the most recent data available. We reviewed information available from the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S) which is the primary source of information regarding the number of existing sources. OTIS data was us ed in conjunction with industry consultation to verify the number of sources and the industry growth rate. 3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuin g 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 b y these standards w as collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would 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. 3(f) Confidentiality Any i nformation submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality i s made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in title 40, ch apter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality

of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended b y 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). 3(g) Sensitive Questions None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contain sensitive questions. 4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are stationary gas turbines. The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SI C) codes which correspond to5

The North American Industry Classification S ys tem (NAICS) code could be found in the following table:
40 CFR p art 60, s ubpart Dc SIC Codes NAICS Codes Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas 13 211 Sawmills and Planing Mills, General 24 321 Pulp Mills 26 322 Alkalies and Chlorine Manufacturing 28 325 Petroleum Refining 29 324 Tires and Inner Tubes 30 326, 316, 339 Steel Works, Blast Furnaces 33 324 Metal Cans 34 332 Mo tor Vehicles and Passenger Car Bodies 37 336 Electric Power Distribution 49 221 General Medical and Surgical Hospitals 80 622 Elementary

and Secondary

Schools 82 611 4(b) Information Requested None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements vi olate any of the regulations established by

OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. (i) Data Items In this ICR, all the data recorded or reported is required by the New Source Performance Standards for Small Industrial

- Commercial

- Institutional Steam Gen erating Units (40 CFR p art 60, s ubpart Dc). A source must make the following reports:
Notifications Notification of construction or reconstruction 60.7(a)(1), 60.48c(a) Notification of anticipated startup 60.7(a)(2), 60.48c(a) Notification of actual s tartup date 60.7(a)(3) Notification of modification 60.7 (a)(4) Notification of demonstration of continuous monitoring s ys tem (CMS) 60.8 (a), 60.8 (d) Semiannual reports of excess emissions and performance of continuous monitoring sy stems, and/or summary report forms 60.7(c), 60.7(d), 60.48(c), 60.48c(c)6 Notifications Initial performance test results and any subsequence performance test s and, if applicable, the performance evaluation of the CEMS, and/or COMS 60.8(a)(d), 60.48c(b)

A source must keep the following records: Recordkeeping Keep records of startups, shutdowns, malfunctions of affected facilities; malfunctions of control devices; and periods where the continuous monitoring sy stem is inoperative. 60.7(b) Keep records of measurements, performance evaluations, calibration checks, adjustments and maintenance related to continuous monitoring sy stems 60.7(f) Keep records of location, plans or specifications for exempted non

- contact cooling water s ys tems. 60.697(j)
Electronic Reporting Some of the respond ents 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 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 that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting. Respondent Activities Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CEMS for SO 2 or sample fuel prior to combustion and estimate emissions using Method 6B. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate COMS for opacity

. Perform initial performance test for SO 2 , Reference Method 19 test (Method 6B for fuel sampling), and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Perform initial performance test for PM, Reference Methods 1, 5, 5B, 9 and/or 17, and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Write the notification and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and sy stem s for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information.7 Respondent Activities 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 information. 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 disclo se the information. Currently , sources are using monitoring equipment that provides 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 monitori ng 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 activ ities in connection with the acquisition, analy sis, storage, and distribution of the required information. Agency Activities Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Review notifications and reports, including perform ance test reports, 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). 5(b) Collection Methodology and Management Following notifi cation of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y i nstalled and operational. P erformance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source’s initial 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 semiannual reports are us ed 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 the EPA Office of Compliance. OTI S is an EPA d atabase for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. E PA uses OTIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by l ocal and state8

regulatory

agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and anal yz e the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for two ye ars. 5(c) Small Entity Flexibility Th e majority

of the 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 th e 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, there fore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. T o the ex tent 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

f or each information collec tion activity w ithin this request is shown in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden, NSPS for Small Industrial

- Commercial

- In stitutional Steam Generating Units ( 40 CFR p art 60, s ubpart Dc). 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 con cept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The Agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not require d 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 requirements i s estimated to be 159,972 (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 comments received. 6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs9

This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $95.32 ($45.39 + 110%) Technical $64.60 ($30.76 + 110%) Clerical $40.09 ($19.09 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2003, Table 10. Private industry , by occupational and industry group. The rates are from column 1, Total compensation. The rates have been increased by 1 10% 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 stan dard are labor 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 I CR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The 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 and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

1 This represents an annual average of 235 existing respondents, multiplied by an average of 1.7 affected units per respondent, less an annual average of 26 units requiring inlet and outlet monitoring. 2 This represents 93 existing affected units that require COMS, plus 4.4 new affected units per year that require COMS, average d over the next three years [93/235 x 11 = 4.4 (rounded)]10

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $1,491,005. This is the total of column D in the above table. The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $7,955,140. 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 ye ars of the I CR is estimated to be $9,446,145. 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 $177,840 This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $54.66 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $34.16 + 60%) Technical $40.56 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $25.35 + 60%) Clerical $21.95 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $13.72 + 60%) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) A 2004 General Schedule @ which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been incre ased b y 60% to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden, NSPS for Small Industrial

. 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 235 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional respondents per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below is 235 per year . The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars co vered b y this ICR.11 Number of Respondents

- Institutional Steam Generating Units, below. 6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours an d Cost Tables12

The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below. (i) Respondent Tally The total annual labor costs are $10,206,909. Details re garding these estimates may be found in Table 1. Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NSPS for Small Industrial

- Commercial

Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc) , below. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 293 hours per response. The total annual capital/startup and O&M cost to the regulated entity are $9,446,145. (ii) The Agency Tally The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 4,496 labor hours at a cost of $ 177,840 . See Table 2.

. 6(f) Reasons for Change in Bu rden There is no significant change in this I CR compared to the previous I CR. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three ye ars and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, th e growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non

- existent. There is however, an adjustment in the labor hour estimate. The previous ICR shows a total of 156,610 annual hours. This renewal ICR shows a total of 159,972 annual hours, which resul t s in a labor hour increase of 3,362 . This increase was caused by a mathematical error in the previous I CR

. There is also a change in the cost estimate. The previous I CR used a cost figure that was rounded

- up to ($9,446,000). This I CR uses the exact co st figure of ($9,446,145) resulting in a small cost increase of $145. 6(g) Burden Statement The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 293 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 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 comply with any previously

applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete13

and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. An agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is no t required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA ’ s regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. To comment on the Agency's need for this information, th e accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any s uggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this IC R under Docket ID Number EPA

Assumptions:
a. We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 235 . There will be eleven additional new sources per year that will become subject to the rule over the three

- year period of this ICR. b

. This ICR uses the following labor rates: $95.32 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $64.60 per hour for Technical labor, and $40.09 per hour for Clerical labor.
