Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal 
Combustion Engines (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Stationary 
Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 
1975.09, OMB Control No. 2060-0548) to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of 
the ICR, which is currently approved through November 30, 2013. Public 
comments were previously requested via the Federal Register (78 FR 
33409) on June 4, 2013 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 not conduct or 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 November 22, 
2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail

    Abstract: The respondents to this information collection are owners 
or operators of existing spark ignition (SI) engines that have a site 
rating of less than or equal to 500 brake hp and located at major 
sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and existing stationary SI 
engines located at area sources of HAP emissions. The information is 
requested by the Agency to determine compliance with the rule. The 
information will then be used by enforcement agencies to verify that 
sources subject to the standards are meeting the emission reductions 
mandated by the Clean Air Act (CAA). Other sizes/types of stationary 
reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) have been regulated 
under previous actions. Thus, this final action fulfills the 
requirements of section 112 of the CAA, which requires EPA to 
promulgate standards for stationary RICE, by adding requirements for 
the remaining engines.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of stationary 
reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart ZZZZ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 902,791 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,427,264 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $424,877,556 (per year), includes $27,854,429 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the total 
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. The decrease is a result of merging the reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements for the initial and amendment NESHAP and 
removing any duplicative burden items. This ICR combines the original 
final rule and the 2006, 2008, and 2010 amendments, which were 
previously covered under EPA ICR Number 1975.04, 1975.05, 1975.06, 
1975.07, and 1975.08. In addition, this ICR incorporates the 
requirements for emergency engines as set forth in the January 2013 
Final Rule amendment. This resulted in several changes in the total 
estimated burden and costs.
