*Abstract:*                     The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generation Units (40                           ( print page 102892)                        CFR part 60, subpart Dc) were proposed on June 9, 1989; promulgated on September 12, 1990; and amended last on February 16, 2012. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units with a maximum design heat input capacity of 29 megawatts (MW) (100 MMBtu/hr) or less, but greater than or equal to 2.9 MW (10 MMBtu/hr), commencing construction, modification, or reconstruction after June 9, 1989. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of the proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Dc.                

*Form Numbers:*                     None.                

*Respondents/affected entities:*                     Small industrial-commercial-institutional steam generators.                

*Respondent's obligation to respond:*                     Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Dc).                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     356 (total).                

*Frequency of response:*                     Semiannually.                

*Total estimated burden:*                     241,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).                

*Total estimated cost:*                     $51,700,000 (per year), includes $21,300,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is an adjustment increase in the respondent burden, and capital and O&M costs from the most-recently approved ICR. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden and costs is due to an increase in the number of respondents. This ICR assumes an industry growth rate of 11 respondents per year, or an increase of 33 respondents, since the last ICR renewal period, which results in an increase in burden and the number of responses submitted. The industry growth also results in an increase in capital O&M costs. There is also an increase in costs, due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (September 2022) to calculate respondent burden costs. There is an additional increase in capital and O&M costs due to an adjustment to increase from 2007 to 2022 $ using the CEPCI Equipment Cost Index.
