[EPA-HQ-OECA-2013-0313; FRL-10007-34-OMS]

Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NSPS for Stationary Gas Turbines (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Stationary Gas Turbines 
(EPA ICR Number 1071.13, OMB Control Number 2060-0028), to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance 
with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the 
ICR, which is currently approved through May 31, 2020. Public comments 
were previously requested, via the Federal Register, on May 6, 2019 
during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 
days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given 
below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency 
may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before April 29, 
2020.

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for 
Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart GG) were proposed on 
October 3, 1977; promulgated on September 10, 1979; and last-amended on 
February 27, 2014. These regulations apply to existing facilities and 
new facilities that have stationary gas turbines with a heat input at 
peak load equal or greater than 10.7 gigajoules per hour (based on the 
lower heating value of the fuel fired). There are no new facilities 
under this subpart, as any facility which commenced construction, 
modification, or reconstruction after February 18, 2005 is subject to 
the NSPS for Stationary Combustion Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart 
KKKK).
    Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply 
with reporting and record keeping requirements for the general 
provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, as well as for the specific 
requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart GG. This includes submitting 
initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and 
results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and duration of any 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with 
the standards.
    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: 69,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $8,000,000 (per year), includes $0 for 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden.
