information collection request (ICR), ``NSPS for Stationary Gas 
Turbines (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 1071.11, OMB Control No. 2060-0028), 
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq).

    Abstract: The NSPS for Stationary Gas Turbines were proposed on 
October 3, 1977, and promulgated on September 10, 1979. Owners and 
operators of stationary gas turbines must submit a one-time-only 
notification report of construction/reconstruction, modification, and 
startup date, initial performance test date, physical or operational 
changes, and demonstration of a continuous monitoring system. They also 
must provide a report on initial performance test result, monitoring 
results, and any excess emissions. Records must be maintained for the 
following topics: startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions; periods when 
the continuous monitoring system is inoperative; sulfur and nitrogen 
content of the fuel; fuel to water ratio; rate of fuel consumption; and 
ambient conditions. Semiannual reports are also required.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Stationary gas turbines.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart GG).
    Estimated number of respondents: 535 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 68,447 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $6,695,243 (per year), which includes zero 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the number of 
affected facilities or the number of burden hours as currently 
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. However, there is 
an increase in the estimated labor costs for industry and a decrease in 
the estimated labor costs for the Agency when compared to the previous 
ICR. This is not due to any program changes. They are the result of 
updated industry labor rates, which resulted in an increase in industry 
labor costs; and of a mathematical correction to the Agency cost 
estimate in the previous ICR.
