**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NSPS for**  **Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR**  **Part 60, Subpart KKKK)**  **(Renewal) 1. Identification of the Information Collection**  **1(a) Title of the Information Collection**
N SPS for Stationary

Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart KKKK) (Renewal), EPA I CR Number 2177.05 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0582 **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Combustion Turbines were proposed on February 18, 2005 , and promulgated on July 6, 2006 . These regulations apply to new stationary

combustion turbines with a heat input at peak load equal to or greater than 10.7 gi gajoules (10 MMBtu) per hour, based on the higher heating value of the fuel. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKKK

. In general, all NSPS standards require ini tial 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 an y startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affec ted facility , or any period during which the monitoring sy stem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected 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 industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facility at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site). Over th e next three

- ye ar period , an average of 4 48 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the standard s , and an additional 47 respo ndents per y ear will become subject to the standard s
. OMB approved the currently active IC R without any

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

– N SPS for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart KKKK) (Renewal) . The burden to the “Federal Government” burden is attributed entirely to work performed b y federal employ ees or government contractors and may be found below in Table 2:2

Average Annual EPA Burde n and Cost

– N SPS for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart KKKK) (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, t o 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 an y 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 such standards e very 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 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 , nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emissions from stationary combustion turbines cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonabl y be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKKK

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The r ecordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with3

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 le gal 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 the per formance 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 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 dev ices are properl y installed and operated, leaks are being detected and repaired , and the standard are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify proble ms at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures 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 KKKK

. **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 age ncy 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 doe s not exist. **3(b) Public 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 burde n published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** T he Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three y ears have been considered. 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)4

which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OT IS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agen cy ’s internal industry experts. Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as i t was being developed. In developing this I CR, we contacted : 1) the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) , at (916) 498

- 7750 ; and 2) the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) , at (312) 929

- 1970. 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 F ederal Register notice. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Co llection**  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 would be less likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines**
T hese reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by 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 y ears. 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

- ye ar statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. Th e retention of records for five ye ars allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, an y 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. **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**5

T he 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 source category description. The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SI C ) code s for the respondents a ffected b y the standards and the correspond ing North American Industry Classification Sy stem (NAICS ) codes are listed in the following table

.
**Standard (**  **40 CFR P**  **art 60, S**  **ubpart KKKK )**  **SIC Codes NAICS Codes**  Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution 4911, 4931, 4939 2211 Pipeline Transportation of Natural Gas 4923, 4922 486210 Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction 1311 211111 Natural Gas Liquid Extraction 1321, 2819 211112 Utilities 4911, 4931, 4939, 4923, 4924, 4925, 4932, 4941, 4971, 4952, 4961 221

**4(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items** 
In this ICR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required b y NSPS for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR P art 60, S ubpart KKKK)

. A source must make the following reports:

**Notification s**  Excess emission and monitoring performance report 60.7(c), 60.4375(a) Report of the results of the performance test 60.8(a), 60.4375(b) A source must keep the following records:6 **Recordkeeping** Maintain records of occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility ; any malfunction of the air pollution control equipment; or any periods during which a CMS or monitoring device is inoperative. 60.7(b)

Maintain a file of all m easurements, including CMS, monitoring device, and performance testing measurements; all CMS performance evaluations; all CMS or monitoring device calibration checks; adjustments and maintenance performed on these sy stems or devices; and all other informat ion required by this part recorded in a permanent form suitable for inspection. The file shall be retained for at least two ye ars following the date of such measurements, maintenance, reports, and records, except some CEMS sub

- hourly measurements. 60.7(f )

Electronic Reporting Some of the r espondents 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 respon dents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for opacity , or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for control device. Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 1, 2, 3A, 7E, 19, and 20 tests , 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 and7 **Respondent Activities** 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. 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 Inf**

**ormation Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management**  **5(a) Agency Activities** EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analy sis, storage, and distribution of the required information.
**Agency Activities** 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** Following 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 compl y with the emission standard. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in complianc e and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.8

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. Both the 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, 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 ty pes of control equipment employ ed, 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) Collect ion Schedule**  The specific frequency

for each information collection activity within this request is shown in below Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– N SPS for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart KKKK) (Renewal)

. **6. Estimati ng 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. Where ver appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The Ag ency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it display s 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 44,394 ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below ). T hese hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency

knowledge and exp erience with the NSPS program, the previously approved ICR, and an y comments received.9

**6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $ 121.44 ($ 57.83 + 110%) Technical $ 100.23 ($ 47.73 + 110%) Clerical $ 50.51 ($ 24.05 + 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 compens ation. ” The rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employ ed 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 standard are labor costs. There are n either capital/startup n or operation and maintenance costs.

**(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs** The only t ype of i ndustry costs associated with the information collection activity in the regulations is labor costs. There are n either capital/startup n or operation and maintenance costs. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency

are those co sts 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 publicati on and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three y ears of the ICR is estimated to be $ 72,269

. 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

- 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) , 2012 General Schedule ,10

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

– N SPS for Stationary Combustion Tur

bines (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart KKKK) (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 401 existing respondents will be subject to the st andard s . It is estimated that an additional 47 respondents per ye ar will also become subject to these standards . The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below , is 448 per y ear. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR.

– N SPS for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR Part 6 0 , Subpart KKKK) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is an increase in burden hours and costs for both the respondents and the Agency from the most recently

approved ICR. It should be noted that the increase is not due to any program changes. The increase is due to an adjustment in labor rates and in the number of new or modified sources. This I CR uses u pdated labor rates from the Bureau of L abor Statistics to calculate burden costs. Additionally , this I CR assumes the respondent universe subject to the regulation has continued to grow at a constant rate after the rule has been fully implemented. **6(g) Burden Statement**  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 38 hours per response. “ Burden ” means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y persons to generate, mainta in, 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 inform ation, 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 display s a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

**Assu mptions:**  a We have assumed that there is an average of 401 sources currently subject to the regulations and an additional 47 respondents per year will become subject. It w as established that there will be about 355 new stationary combustion turbines installed in the United States over the first fiv e y ears of rule implementation. The ICR for the initial rule assumed 71 new sources for the first three years, and the most recent ICR assumed a growth of 47 new sources per year. This ICR assumes the industry continues to grow

at a constant rate since the previous renewal. b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $ 121.44 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $ 100.23 per hour for Technical 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 , T able 2. Civil ian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group. The rates are from column 1, Total Compensation. The rates have been increased by 110 perc ent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. c We have assumed that it will take 4 hours for respondents to read instructions. d We have assumed that 199 respondents will each take 12 hours to conduct annual stack testing to demonstrate compliance with N Ox emission limitation. e We have assumed that 106 respondents will ea ch take 0.5 hours at 52 times per year to complete fuel sampling for the dual fuel turbines. f We have assumed that seven respondent will each take 0.5 hours 5 times per year to complete the fuel sampling for the distill ate oil only turbines. g We have a ssumed that it will take each respondent 2 hours to w rite notification report. h We have assumed that this is a one

- time report for new respondents. i We have assumed that of the 47 new respondents each year, 15 of these respondents will write reports de mo nstrating CEMS compliance. j We have assumed that each of the respondents will take 8 hours twice per year to w rite the compliance report. k The average number of existing respondents is 401

. l We have assumed that it will take each respondent 4 hours to read instructions.

**Assu mptions:**  a We have assumed that there is an average of 401 sources currently subject to the regulations and an additional 47 respondents per year will become subject. The ICR assumes the industry continues to grow at a constant rate after the rule has been fully implemented. b This cost is based on the f ollowing hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $ 62.27 for Managerial, $ 46.21 for Technical , and $ 25.01 Clerical. These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “201 2 General Schedule ” wh ich excludes locality rates of pay. c We have assumed that each respondent will take one hour each to review the notification of construction/reconstruction report

. d We have assumed that it will take 0.5 hours for each respondent to review the actual startup report.
e We have assumed that of the 47 new respondents, only 15 of these respondents will review the notification of demonstration of CEMS report. f We have assumed that it will take 2 hours once per year to review the compli ance report.
