SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Stationary Compression 
Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (EPA ICR No. 2196.06, OMB Control

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for 
Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR 
part 60, subpart IIII) apply to manufacturers, owners and operators of 
new stationary compression ignition (CI) internal combustion engines 
(ICE). New facilities include those that commenced construction, 
modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. For the 
purposes of this subpart, the date that construction commences is the 
date the engine is ordered by the owner or operator. In general, all 
NSPS standards require initial 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 any

[[Page 11296]]

startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in 
determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities 
subject to NSPS. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart IIII.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, owners and operators 
of new stationary compression ignition (CI) internal combustion engines 
(ICE).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart IIII).
    Estimated number of respondents: 206,885 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 408,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $46,700,000 (per year), includes $167,000 for 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no significant increase in the 
burden hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This because the 
regulations have not changed significantly over the past three years 
and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. The 
increase in labor costs from the most-recently approved ICR is due to 
adjustment in labor rates. We also updated the number of respondents to 
reflect new respondents since the approval of the prior ICR. There was 
no change in the capital or O&M costs. There is a small increase in the 
number of responses based on the adjustments to the number of 
respondents.
