ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0666; FRL-9725-01-OMS]

Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NSPS for Stationary Compression Ignition 
Internal Combustion Engines (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Stationary Compression 
Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (EPA ICR Number 2196.07, OMB 
Control Number 2060-0590), 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, 2022. Public comments were previously requested, via 
the Federal Register (86 FR 8634), on February 8, 2021 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 June 2, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OAR-2020-0666, to EPA online using https://www.regulations.gov (our 
preferred method), or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 
Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the 
public docket without change including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information 
claimed to be confidential business information or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
    Submit written comments and recommendations to OMB for the proposed 
information collection within 30 days of publication of this notice to 
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information 
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for 
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for 
Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR 
part 60, subpart IIII) regulations apply to manufacturers, owners, and 
operators of new stationary compression ignition internal combustion 
engines. 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 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.
    Form Numbers: Form 5900-558.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, owners, and operators 
of new stationary compression ignition internal combustion engines.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart IIII).
    Estimated number of respondents: 207,240 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually.
    Total estimated burden: 408,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $48,400,000 (per year), which includes 
$242,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no significant change in burden 
from the most-recently approved ICR. The change in burden is primarily 
due to an increase in the total number of sources and correction of 
calculation errors in the most-recently approved ICR. First, the number 
of respondents was updated to reflect new respondents based on 
continuous growth within the stationary CI engine industry. However, 
this ICR also corrects errors from the currently- approved ICR, 
including the number of manufacturers conducting certification 
recordkeeping and the total number of stationary CI engines. The number 
of manufacturers conducting certification recordkeeping has been 
adjusted downwards to reflect that this applies to those engine 
families for which manufacturers are requesting certification annually. 
The total number of stationary CI engines is adjusted to reflect growth 
that was not incorporated in the currently approved ICR, and more 
accurately reflects the number of respondents submitting an annual 
report. Due to these adjustments, there is an overall decrease in 
burden, although the rounded burden hours have not changed from the 
prior ICR. There was no change in capital costs. This ICR also adjusts 
the operation and maintenance costs to reflect more accurately the cost 
assumptions for certification activities, based on documentation from 
the final rules and as applied to the current estimate of respondents. 
The overall result is an increase in costs.
