Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS),
for
the
regulations
published
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
GG
were
proposed
on
October
3,
1977,
and
promulgated
on
September
10,
1979
(
44
FR
52798).
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).
New
facilities
include
those
that
commenced
construction,
modification,
or
reconstruction
after
the
date
of
proposal.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
GG.

In
general,
all
NSPS
standards
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports.
Owners
or
operators
are
also
required
to
maintain
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
notifications,
reports,
and
records
are
essential
in
determining
compliance,
and
are
required
of
all
sources
subject
to
NSPS.
Specifically,
data
is
being
collected
on
performance
of
the
continuous
monitoring
systems
for
Sulfur
Dioxide
(
SO
2)
and
Nitrogen
Oxides
(
NO
x),
and
any
excess
emissions
or
operating
parameter
exceedances.
Recordkeeping
is
used
to
document
the
sulfur
and
nitrogen
content
of
the
fuel;
fuel
to
water
ratio;
rate
of
fuel
consumption;
and
ambient
conditions.
The
fuel
sulfur
content
and
fuel
to
water
ratio
measurements
are
used
to
monitor
SO
2
and
NO
x
emissions,
respectively.
This
data
will
be
sent
to
the
delegated
state
or
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
region
and
entered
into
the
AFS
database.

Any
owner
or
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
directly
to
the
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
regional
office.

Approximately
535
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
regulation,
and
it
is
estimated
that
no
additional
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.
The
estimated
respondent
burden
for
this
information
collection
request
(
ICR)
is
59,519
hours
at
a
cost
of
$
3,811,402.
The
active
(
previous)
ICR
had
the
following
Terms
of
Clearance
(
TOC):

"
When
EPA
resubmits
the
ICR
for
renewal,
the
Agency
should
update
the
wage
rates
referenced
in
Section
6(
b)
of
the
supporting
statement
and
should
ensure
that
the
wage
rates
have
been
properly
loaded
to
include
overhead."

EPA
has
addressed
the
item
of
concern
in
the
TOC
by
using
wage
rates
for
this
ICR
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
November
2003,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,
by
occupational
and
industry
group."
The
rates
are
from
column
1,
"
Total
compensation."
The
rate
has
been
increased
by
110%
to
account
for
the
benefit
packages
available
to
those
employed
by
private
industry.
This
information
is
addressed
in
Section
6(
b)(
i).
The
wage
rate
used
for
the
calculation
of
annual
EPA
burden
are
from
the
Office
of
Personnel
Management
(
OPM)
"
2004
General
Schedule"
which
excludes
locality
rates
of
pay.
This
information
is
addressed
in
Section
6(
c).

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,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect:

.
.
.
application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emissions
reduction
which
(
taking
into
consideration
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emissions
reduction,
or
any
non­
air
quality
health
and
environmental
impact
and
energy
requirements)
the
Administrator
determines
has
been
adequately
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
every
four
years.

In
addition,
Section
114(
a)
states
that
the
Administrator
may
require
any
owner
or
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
monitoring
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
3
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
reasonably
require.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
SO
2
and
NO
x
emissions
from
stationary
gas
turbines
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
the
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
GG.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
SO
2
and
NO
x
from
stationary
gas
turbines
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
SO
2
and
NO
x
from
stationary
gas
turbines
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
through
the
capture
and/
or
reduction
of
NO
x
and
SO
2
emissions
using
water
injectors,
scrubbers,
and
other
air
pollution
control
equipment.
The
notifications
required
in
the
applicable
regulations
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
water
injectors,
scrubbers,
and
other
air
pollution
control
equipment
is
properly
installed
and
operated
and
the
regulations
are
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
record
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standards,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
To
simulate
operating
conditions
during
performance
tests
the
stationary
gas
turbines
must
operate
with
a
heat
input
of
10.7
gigajoules
or
greater.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
affected
by
the
NSPS
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
in
compliance
with
the
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
are
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
The
information
collected
from
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
requested
recordkeeping
and
reporting
are
required
under
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
GG.
4
3(
a)
Nonduplication
If
the
subject
standards
have
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
appropriate
EPA
regional
office.
Otherwise,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
state
or
local
agency.
If
a
state
or
local
agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
standards
to
implement
the
federal
standards,
a
copy
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,
no
duplication
exists.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
(
68
FR
62289)
on
November
3,
2003.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
EPA
contacted
personnel
at
the
Department
of
Energy
(
Al
Beamon,
202­
586­
2025),
the
Electric
Power
Research
Institute
(
Dan
Rastler,
650­
855­
2521),
and
the
American
Petroleum
Institute
(
Russell
Jones,
202­
682­
8545)
to
determine
the
size
of
the
regulated
universe,
and
to
determine
the
rate
of
growth
of
the
regulated
industry.
Also,
the
AFS
database
was
used
and
was
sorted
by
SIC
code.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
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.
If
the
information
required
by
these
standards
was
collected
less
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
None
of
these
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
violate
any
of
the
regulations
established
by
OMB
at
5
CFR
1320.5.

Any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according

Electronic
Reporting
Presently,
sources
are
using
monitoring
equipment
that
provides
parameter
data
in
an
automated
way,
e.
g.,
excess
NO
x
and
SO
2
emissions.
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.
In
addition,
some
regulatory
agencies
are
setting
up
electronic
reporting
systems
to
allow
sources
to
report
electronically
which
is
reducing
the
reporting
burden.
However,
electronic
reporting
systems
are
still
not
widely
used
by
the
regulatory
agencies.
It
is
estimated
that
approximately
5
percent
of
the
respondents
use
electronic
reporting.

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
13
Following
notification
of
startup,
the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standards.
To
simulate
operating
conditions
during
performance
tests
the
stationary
gas
turbines
must
operate
with
a
heat
input
of
10.7
gigajoules
or
greater.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
the
AFS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Compliance.
AFS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
over
100,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
the
AFS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
local
and
state
regulatory
agencies,
EPA
regional
offices
and
EPA
headquarters.
EPA
and
its
delegated
Authorities
can
edit,
store,
retrieve
and
analyze
the
data.

The
records
required
by
this
regulation
must
be
retained
by
the
owner
or

Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
to
be
59,519
(
Total
Labor
Hours
from
Table
1).
These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
regulation,
Agency
knowledge
and
experience
with
the
NSPS
program,
the
previously
approved
ICR,
and
any

Estimating
Respondent
Costs
(
i)
Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
a
Technical
Labor
Rate
of
$
64.47
per
hour.
This
rate
is
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
November
2003,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,
by
occupational
and
industry
group."
The
rates
are
from
column
1,
"
Total
compensation."
The
rate
has
been
increased
by
110%
to
account
for
the
benefit
packages
available
to
those
employed
by
private
industry.
The
activities
involved
in
complying
with
this
Subpart
are
of
a
sufficiently
technical
nature
and
require
a
certain
level
of
technical
familiarity
with
the
control
technologies
and
equipment
as
to
exclude
clerical
or
managerial
staff
from
performing
these
tasks.

Operation
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
only
costs
to
the
regulated
industry
resulting
from
information
collection
activities
required
by
the
subject
standards
are
labor
costs.
There
are
no
capital/

Costs
The
only
type
of
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activity
in
the
regulations
are
labor
costs.
There
are
no
capital/
startup
or
operation
and
maintenance
costs.

6(

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
costs
to
the
Agency
are
those
costs
associated
with
analysis
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
publication
and
distribution
of
collected
information.
15
The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
three
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
171,542
[
see
Table
2:
Average
Annual
EPA
Resource
Requirement
for
Monitoring
Stationary
Gas
Turbines
(
NSPS,
subpart
GG)].

This
cost
is
based
on
the
average
hourly
labor
rate
at
a
GS­
12,
Step
1,
times
a
1.6
benefits
multiplication
factor
to
account
for
government
overhead
expenses
for
a
total
of
$
40.08.
These
rates
are
from
the
Office
of

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
Based
on
our
research
for
this
ICR,
approximately
535
existing
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard.
It
is
estimated
that
no
additional
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.
The
number
of
respondents
is
calculated
using

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
decrease
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
adjustment.
This
decrease
is
due
to
a
more
accurate
estimate
of

the
requirements
at
40

effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
federal

This
includes
the
time
needed
to

and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
