Abstract: Manufacturers of wood-fired 

residential hydronic heaters, forced-air 

furnaces, or other central heaters, testing 

laboratories, and third-party certifiers 

are required to comply with reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements for the 

General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, 

subpart A), as well as for the applicable 

specific standards in 40 CFR part 60 

Subpart QQQQ. This includes 

submitting initial notifications, 

performance tests and periodic reports 

and results, and maintaining records. 

These reports are used by EPA to 

determine compliance with these same 

standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Manufacturers of wood-fired residential 

hydronic heaters, forced-air furnaces, or 

other central heaters, testing 

laboratories, third-party certifiers. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

QQQQ). 

Estimated number of respondents: 24 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Annually, 

biennially, every five years. 

Total estimated burden: 2,390 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $950,000 (per 

year), which includes $484,000 in 

annualized capital/startup costs. There 

are no operation & maintenance (O&M) 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

significant decrease in burden from the 

most-recently approved ICR as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. This is due to 

several considerations. The size of the 

industry (number of respondents) has 

decreased by half since the previouslyapproved ICR (2442.03), resulting in a 

significant decrease in both labor 

burden and capital/startup costs for 

periodic re-testing and auditing of 

model lines. The decrease in the 

number of respondents is based on 

certification data collected by the EPA. 

This ICR includes a review of the 

regulations as amended on April 2, 2020 

at 85 FR 18448, but these amendments 

did not increase burden. The regulations 

are anticipated to change over the next 

three years, but these changes are not 

anticipated to either increase or 

decrease burden. The growth rate for 

this industry is anticipated to be zero 

over the next three years as 

manufacturers have already certified to 

the 2020 standards, resulting in no 

expenses for testing new model lines.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On March 21, 2022, the Georgia 

Department of Environmental Protection 

(GDEP) submitted an application titled 

Georgia Department of Environmental 

Protection Combined Air Emission 

Reporting System (CAERS) for 

revisions/modifications to its EPAapproved programs under title 40 CFR 

to allow new electronic reporting. EPA 

reviewed GDEP’s request to revise/ 

modify its EPA-authorized programs 

and, based on this review, EPA 

determined that the application met the 

standards for approval of authorized 

program revisions/modifications set out 

in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In 

accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this 

notice of EPA’s decision to approve 

GDEP’s request to revise/modify its

On February 1, 2022, the Guam 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(Guam EPA) submitted an application 

titled Compliance Monitoring Data

new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed 

Guam EPA’s request to revise/modify its 

EPA-authorized programs and, based on 

this review, EPA determined that the 

application met the standards for 

approval of authorized program 

revisions/modifications set out in 40 

CFR part 3, subpart D. In accordance 

with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of 

EPA’s decision to approve Guam EPA’s 

request to revise/modify its following 

EPA-authorized programs to allow 

electronic reporting under 40 CFR is 

being published in the Federal Register: 

Part 142: National Primary Drinking 

Water Regulations Implementation
