. **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for S mall Industrial

- C ommercial

Institutional S team G enerating Units were proposed on June 9, 1989 , promulgated on September 12, 1990 , and was last amended on February 16, 2012 . These regulations apply to both existing and new industrial

- comm ercial

- institutional steam generating units with maximum design heat input capacity of 29 megawatts (MW) (100 million Btu/hr) or less, but 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). The amendment removed the condensable PM testing requirement during continuous emissions monitoring sy stem ( CEMS ) correlation test runs for sources that elect to install PM CEMS. Inaddition, the amendment allowed certain sources to meet the opacity standard by conducting periodic opacity observations instead of using a continuous opacity monitoring sy stem ( COMS ) . However, new sources are still required to conduct initial performance tests. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Dc

. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notification report s, performance tests, and periodic reports b y the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any st artup, 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 affe cted 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. Based on our consultations with ind ustry representatives, there is an average of 1.7 affected facilities at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).2

Over the next three ye ars, an avera ge of 268 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the se standard s and 11 additional respondents per year will become subject to the se same standard s . The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) approved the currentl y active I CR without any “ Terms of Clearance .” There are approximately

268 small industrial

- commercial

- institutional steam generating units in the United States, all which are publicl y- owned and

- operated by the small industrial

commercial

- institutional steam generating industry . None of the 268 facilities in the United States are owned b y either state, or local, or tribal, or Federal government. They are all owned and operated solel y b y privately

- owned , for

- profit businesses. The “burden ” to the “Affected Public” may

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

– NSPS for Small Industrial

- Commercial

- Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 60 , Subpart Dc ) (Renewal). The “burden ” to the Federal Government is attributed entirel y to work performed b y either F ederal employees or government contractors. This burden may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Small Industrial

- Commercial

- Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc) (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 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 su ch standards every four years. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require 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 moni toring 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 the3 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 Admini strator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, SO 2 and PM emissions from small industrial

commercial

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

be anticipated to endanger public health and/ or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 6 0 , subpart Dc

. **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 in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comp ly

with the emission standard

. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters und er 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 authority 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 p roperl y installed and operated, that leaks are being detected and repaired , and the standard is 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 procedures and for compliance determinations. **3. Non**
**- duplication,**  **Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria** The requested recordkeeping an d reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60 , subpart Dc

. **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) 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 ( 78 FR 33409) on June 4, 2013 . No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

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

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three ye ars have been considered. The primary source of information a s reported b y industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S) which is operated and maintained by EPA’s Office of Compliance. Otis is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenan ce and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the A gency ’s internal industry experts. Consultations with industry representatives (i.e., respondents) were conducted to determine if there is any way for EPA to reduce the recordkeeping and reporting burden or improve the language in the standard to make it easier to comply . In developing this I CR, the Agency contacted : 1) Novus Engineering , PC , at (518) 439

- 8235 ; and 2) the Council of Industrial Boiler Owners (CIBO) , at (703) 250

- 9042, who also consulted with owners and council members. 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 first Federal Register notice. 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. 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** These 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 o f 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/or operators of small industrial

- commercial

- institutional steam generating units . The United States Standard Industrial Classification ( SI C ) code s for the respondents affected by the standards , and the corresponding North American Industry Classification Sy stem (NAICS ) codes, are listed below. **40 CFR Part 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 Motor Vehicles and Passenger Car Bodies 37 336 Electric Power Distribution 49 221 General Medical and Surgical Hospitals 80 622 Elementary

and Secondary

- Commercial

- Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc).6

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 startup 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) 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 sy stems. 60.697(j)
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 10 percent of the respon dents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for SO **2** or sample fuel prior to combustion and estimate emissions using Method 6B. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate COMS for7 **Respondent Activities** 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 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 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 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 i n connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information :8 **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). **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Fol lowing notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are p roperl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source ’ s initial capability to comply 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, an d 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 Entity Flexibility** A majority

of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, according to the 2005 Economic Impacts Anal ys is for the Proposed NSPS amendments in 2005 (see Docket ID: EPA

- HQ

- OAR

- 2005

- 0031

- 0059), 2 entities of the 17, or 12 percent of the projected new biomass units , were expected to be small entities. Applying this percent age to the respondent universe for this I CR , results in approximately 32 small entities impacted by this ICR. 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 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 them9

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 below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Small In dustrial

Commercial

- Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc) (Renewal). **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 below 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 w ith 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

. 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 181,964 hours ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below). 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 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 $ 5 1

. 18 ($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

.10 **(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 s 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 s . The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs su ch as photocop ying and postage.

a Number of Respondents with O&M ( 430 units ) represents an annual average of 268 existing facilities , multiplied by an average of 1.7 affected units per facility , less an annual average of 26 units requiring inlet and outlet monitoring. b Num ber of Respondents with O&M ( 111. 6 units ) represents 107 .2 existing affected facilities that require COMS, plus 4.4 new affected facilities per year that require COMS, averag ed over the next three years [ 107 /268 × 11 x 1.7 = 4.4 x 1.7 = 7 units (rounded)]. The total capital/startup costs for this I CR are $ 1, 716,763 . This is the total o f column D in the above table. The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this IC R are $ 9,04 1,960

. This is the total of column G. The average annual cost for both capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to the respondent industry

over the next three years of the I CR is estimated to be $ 10, 75 8 , 723

. These are the recordkeeping costs

. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with the analy sis of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the11

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 be $ 229,976

. Th is 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) , 20 1 3 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 Small Industrial

- Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc) (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 257 existing respondents will be subject to the standard s . It is estimated that an additional 11 respondents per ye ar will become subject to these same standards . The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 268 per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR. **Number of Respondents**

- Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc) (Renewal). **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculati ons for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below , respectively , and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 181,964 hours at a cost of $17,799,248

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

– NSPS for Small Industrial

- Commercial

- Institutional Steam Generating Units ( 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc) (Renewal). Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of13

information is estimated to average 29 8 hours (rounded) per response . The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $ 10, 75 8,723

. 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 5,103 labor hours at a cost of $229,976. See Table 2 below : Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Small Industrial

- Commercial

- In stitutional Steam Generating Units ( 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc) (Renewal). **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is an adjustment increase in the respondent and Agency burden from the most

recentl y approved ICR due to an increase in the number of new or modified sources. This ICR assumes an industry

growth rate of 11 respondents per year, which results in an average increase of 33 respondents since the las t I CR renewal period. The industry growth also results in an increase in O&M costs. In addition, this I CR corrects the number of new sources that are expected to use COMS for PM monitoring , which results in an increase in capital costs

. **6(g) Burden St atement**  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 29 8 hours (rounded) per response. “ Burden ” means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information either to , or for , a Federal agency . This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, instal l, 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.

We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 268 . 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: $123.04 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $101.22 per hour for Technical labor, and $51.18 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bure au of Labor Statistics, March 2013, “T able 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total Compensation.” The rates have been increa sed by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those em ployed by private industry. c. We have assumed that each new respondent will take two hours to read instructions. d. We have assumed that four new respondents will each take two hours to w rite notification of construction/reconstruction report. e. We have assumed that seven new respondents will each take two hours to w rite notification of modification report. f. We have assumed that all new respondents will each take two hours to w rite the semiannual report two times per year. g. We have assumed that o ccurrences/respondents for ne w facilities are based on an average of 1.7 affected facilities per respondent, with an estimate d 10 percent retest. h. This estimate includes performance test (opacity) for coal, wood, and oil

There will be eleven ad ditional new sources that will become subject to the rule over the three

- year period of this ICR. b. The cost is based on the fol lowing labor rate which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses. Manag erial rates of $62.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $38.92 × 1.6), Technical rate of $46.21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $28.88 × 1.6), and Clerical rate of $ 25.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $15.63 × 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2013 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay. c. We have assumed that occurrences/respondent for new facilities are based on an average of 1. 7 affected facilities per respondent. d. We have assumed that it will take 8 hours two times per year to review each semiannual report.
