Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
small
industrial­
commercialinstitutional
steam
generating
units,
published
at
40
CFR
60.40c,
were
proposed
on
June
9,
1989,
and
promulgated
on
September
12,
1990.
These
standards
apply
to
industrial­
commercialinstitutional
steam
generating
units
with
maximum
design
heat
input
capacity
of
29
megawatts
(
MW)
(
100
million
Btu/
hr)
or
less,
but
greater
than
or
equal
to
2.9
MW
(
10
million
Btu/
hr),
commencing
construction,
modification,
or
reconstruction
after
June
9,
1989.
The
standards
limit
the
emissions
of
sulfur
dioxide
(
SO
2)
and
particulate
matter
(
PM).
For
the
purposes
of
this
document,
new
units
are
those
affected
units
that
have
had
construction,
modification,
or
reconstruction
within
the
last
three
years.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Dc.

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.

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.
Once
received
by
the
authority,
reports
are
reviewed
and
the
data
is
entered,
analyzed,
and
maintained
in
the
Air
Facility
System
(
AFS).
Information
from
these
reports
can
be
used
by
any
regions,
states,
agencies
and
offices
with
access
to
AFS
and
may
be
used
in
determining
where
inspections
and
enforcement
actions
may
be
necessary.

Approximately
213
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
regulation,
and
it
is
estimated
that
an
additional
11
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.
It
is
further
assumed
that
there
is
an
average
of
1.7
affected
facilities
per
plant.
The
annual
cost
of
2
this
ICR
will
be
$
9,466,145
for
nonlabor
and
$
10,206,909
for
labor
(
based
on
a
labor
burden
of
156,610
hours)
for
a
total
of
$
19,673,054.

The
active
(
previous)
ICR
had
the
following
Terms
of
Clearance:

"
This
request
for
extension
of
ICR
OMB
number
2060­
0202
is
approved
for
three
years
pursuant
to
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act.
Before
resubmission
of
this
ICR
for
extension,
the
Agency
should
demonstrate
in
the
Supporting
Statement
how
estimates
of
the
respondents
and
estimates
of
the
burden
per
respondent
were
developed
taking
into
account
Agency
experience
and
public/
respondent
comments."

EPA
has
addressed
the
items
of
concern
in
the
Terms
of
Clearance
in
three
ways.
To
determine
the
current
number
of
respondents,
EPA
queried
the
RACT/
BACT/
LAER
Clearinghouse
(
RBLC)
to
determine
the
number
of
permits
issued
since
June
1989
for
steam
generating
units
within
the
size
range
covered
by
subpart
Dc.
The
RBLC
contains
information
on
all
permits
issued
by
states
and
EPA,
and
represents
the
best
data
source
to
identify
the
current
number
of
respondents.
To
forecast
the
number
of
new
sources
over
the
next
three
years,
EPA
used
current
industry
energy
forecasts
from
the
Energy
Information
Agency
(
EIA),
in
combination
with
trends
in
new
permits
issued
(
using
the
RBLC),
to
estimate
the
number
of
new
sources
in
each
of
the
next
three
years.
Finally,
to
estimate
burden,
EPA
used
detailed
cost
data
on
the
installation
and,
operation
and
maintenance
of
monitoring
equipment
(
EPA
Air
Pollution
Control
Manual,
January
2002),
and
closely
followed
the
monitoring
requirements
in
subpart
Dc
to
estimate
burden.
For
example,
a
subset
of
sources
under
this
subpart
are
required
to
monitor
SO
2
emissions
before
and
after
a
control
device,
requiring
additional
monitoring
equipment
and
costs.
For
PM,
a
subset
of
the
sources
under
this
subpart
are
required
to
install
continuous
opacity
monitors.
Using
data
in
the
RBLC,
EPA
determined
the
number
of
existing
sources
(
and
estimated
the
number
of
new
sources)
that
fall
into
each
of
the
monitoring
categories.
This
information
is
provided
in
Section
6(
b)(
iii)
of
this
supporting
statement.

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
3
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
the
Administrator's
judgment,
SO
2
and
PM
emissions
from
small
industrial­
commercialinstitutional
steam
generating
units
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
Dc.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
SO
2
and
PM
from
small
industrial­
commercial­
institutional
steam
generating
units
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
SO
2
and
PM
from
small
industrial­
commercial­
institutional
steam
generating
units
are
the
result
of
combustion
of
fuels
in
the
boilers.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
capture
and
reduction
of
SO
2
and
PM
emissions
using
control
technologies
such
as
settling
chambers,
cyclones,
wet
collectors
and
scrubbers,
electrostatic
precipitators,
and
fabric
filters.
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
pollution
control
devices
are
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.
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
Dc.
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
its
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
(
69
FR
29718)
on
May
25,
2004.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
EPA
used
information
from
the
Energy
Information
Agency
(
including
the
Annual
Energy
Outlook)
to
determine
the
current
number
of
sources
and
to
estimate
the
number
of
new
sources
over
the
next
three
years.
EPA
also
reviewed
data
in
the
RACT/
BACT/
LAER
Clearinghouse
and
the
OTIS
database.
Please
note
that
because
the
respondents
covered
under
this
subpart
span
a
wide
range
of
manufacturing,
service,
and
institutional
sectors,
a
specific
trade
group
does
not
exist
that
covers
the
sources
regulated
by
this
subpart.

EPA
also
spoke
with
Stephen
D.
Smith,
Senior
Safety
and
Environmental
Engineer
for
Novus
Engineering
PC
(
518­
439­
8235),
whose
company
represents
some
facilities
that
are
subject
to
this
rule.
He
had
the
following
comments.

Thank
you
for
your
interest
in
receiving
a
brief
synopsis
of
our
concerns
regarding
the
requirement
for
the
collection
of
Fuel
Supplier
Certification
documents,
which
are
described
at
40
CFR
60.42c(
h),
60.44c(
h),
60.48c(
e)(
11)
and
60.48c(
f).
While
this
requirement
provides
relief
from
the
more
onerous
and
expensive
Continuous
Emissions
Monitoring
of
sulfur,
as
written,
the
requirement
imposes
an
unreasonable
burden
on
the
regulated
community
for
the
following
reasons:

1.
Fuel
oil
suppliers
are
usually
small
carting
operations
that
receive
oil
from
large
distribution
facilities.
The
distribution
facilities
are
constantly
receiving
and
distributing
oil.
Given
the
time
it
takes
for
oil
to
be
sampled,
tested,
and
the
results
to
be
returned,
it
is
not
possible
for
a
test
to
reflect
the
current
sulfur
content
of
any
distributor's
tank
or
any
load
of
oil
dispensed
to
a
delivery
truck
and
provided
to
a
facility.
Therefore,
the
copious
information
that
is
collected
does
5
not
serve
its
intended
purpose.

2.
Given
that
the
testing
is
conducted
by
the
oil
distributor
and
the
oil
is
transported
by
a
carter,
neither
the
carter
nor
the
facility
receiving
the
oil
can
have
any
control
over
the
information
that
is
included
in
the
fuel
supplier
certification
form.
NSPS
wrongly
make
the
facility
responsible
for
the
information
contained
in
the
form.

3.
Certification
is
required
for
each
delivery
of
fuel.
Given
that
several
deliveries
per
day
may
be
received
by
a
facility
during
the
winter
months,
NSPS
reports
often
include
scores
of
unnecessary
pages
of
duplicate
information.

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.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
Any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according
to
the
Agency
policies
set
forth
in

Electronic
Reporting
Presently,
respondents
are
using
monitoring
equipment
that
provides
automated
parameter
data
(
e.
g.,
SO
2
and
PM
emissions).
Although
personnel
at
the
affected
plants
must
evaluate
the
data,
this
type
of
monitoring
equipment
has
significantly
reduced
the
burden
associated
with
monitoring
and
recordkeeping.
In
addition,
some
regulatory
entities
(
both
governments
and
respondents)
are
setting
up
electronic
reporting
systems
to
allow
sources
to
report
electronically,
which
is
reducing
the
reporting
burden.

5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
Following
notification
of
startup,
the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated
and
the
regulations
are
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
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
data
for
approximately
125,000
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.
10
The
records
required
by
this
regulation
must
be
retained
by
the
owner
or
operator
for
two
years.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
There
is
a
distribution
of
business
sizes
among
the
regulated
industry.
Due
to
technical
considerations
involving
the
process
operations
and
the
types
of
control
equipment
employed,
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
both
small
and
large
entities.
The
impact
of
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
of
this
subpart
on
small
businesses
was
taken
into
consideration
during
the
development
of
the
regulation.
Although
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
small
and
larger
businesses,
the
Agency
considers
these
requirements
the
minimum
needed
to
ensure
compliance
and,
therefore,
cannot
reduce
these
requirements
further
for
small
businesses.
To
the
extent
that
larger
businesses
can
use
economies
of
scale
to
reduce
their
burden,
the
overall
burden
will
be
reduced.

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.

The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
three
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
177,840.

This
cost
is
based
on
the

Based
on
our
research
for

It
is
estimated
that
an

will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next

is
due
to
adjustments.
The
adjustment
decrease
in

is
primarily
due
to
a
decrease
in
the

and
the
resulting
decrease
in
the
burden
associated
with
submitting
notifications.
The
estimated
respondent
burden
associated
with
capital/
startup
and
operation
and
maintenance
costs
has
decreased
to
less
than
the
current
OMB
inventory
due
to
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
new
sources
and
revisions
to
operation
and
maintenance
costs.
