IDENTIFICATION
OF
THE
INFORMATION
COLLECTION
(
a)
Title
of
the
Information
Collection
"
Reporting
and
Recordkeeping
Requirements
for
Standards
of
Performance
for
Stationary
Combustion
Turbines."
ICR
2177.01
(
b)
Short
Characterization
This
supporting
statement
addresses
information
collection
activities
that
would
be
imposed
by
the
proposed
"
Standards
of
Performance
for
Stationary
Combustion
Turbines,"
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
KKKK.
These
standards
fulfill
the
requirements
of
section
111
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
CAA)
as
amended
in
1990,
which
requires
the
EPA
to
promulgate
standards
for
stationary
combustion
turbines.

The
information
collection
activities
in
this
ICR
include:
stack
tests,
continuous
monitoring,
one­
time
and
periodic
reports,
and
the
maintenance
of
records.
The
information
collection
activities
will
enable
the
EPA
to
determine
initial
and
continuous
compliance
with
emission
standards
for
the
regulated
pollutants.

2.
NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
EPA
is
required
under
section
111
of
the
CAA
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect
the
application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emissions
reduction
which
(
taking
into
consideration
2
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emissions
reduction,
or
any
nonair
quality
health
and
environmental
impact
and
energy
requirements)
the
Administrator
determines
has
been
adequately
demonstrated.
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
or
methods
(
in
accordance
with
such
methods
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe);
(
D)
sample
such
emissions;
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical;
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications;
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
he
may
reasonably
require.

Certain
reports
are
necessary
to
enable
the
Administrator
to
identify
stationary
combustion
turbines
subject
to
the
regulation
and
to
determine
if
the
standards
are
being
achieved.

(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
information
will
be
used
by
the
EPA
to
identify
sources
subject
to
the
new
source
performance
standards
(
NSPS)
and
ensure
that
the
emission
standards
are
being
met.
Records
and
reports
are
necessary
to
enable
the
EPA
to
identify
facilities
that
may
not
be
in
compliance
with
the
standards.
Based
on
reported
information,
EPA
will
decide
which
facilities
should
be
inspected
and
what
records
or
units
should
be
inspected
at
the
facilities.
The
records
that
facilities
maintain
will
indicate
to
EPA
whether
facility
personnel
are
operating
and
maintaining
the
equipment
properly.

NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
(
a)
Nonduplication
Duplication
in
the
reporting
of
stationary
combustion
turbine
information
is
not
anticipated.
If
the
standard
has
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
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
regulation
to
implement
the
Federal
regulation,
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
standard.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
A
public
notice
of
this
collection
will
be
provided
in
the
notice
of
proposed
rulemaking
for
the
NSPS.

(
c)
Consultations
The
public
will
have
the
opportunity
to
review
and
comment
on
the
proposed
NSPS
and
the
ICR
during
the
specified
comment
period.

(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Data
Collection
The
frequency
of
the
data
collection
requirements
was
chosen
by
the
EPA
to
provide
reasonable
assurance
that
a
facility
is
in
compliance
with
the
standard.

Less
frequent
collection
could
result
in
long­
term
exceedances
of
the
applicable
emission
standards.

(
e)
General
Guidelines
4
None
of
the
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
contained
in
the
proposed
NSPS
for
stationary
combustion
turbines
violate
any
of
the
regulations
established
by
OMB
in
CFR
1320.5.

(
f)
Confidentiality
The
type
of
data
that
would
be
required
is
principally
emissions
data
and
would
not
be
confidential.
If
any
information
is
submitted
to
the
EPA
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made,
the
information
would
be
safeguarded
according
to
the
Agency
policies
set
forth
in
title
40,
chapter
1,
part
2,
subpart
B
­­
Confidentiality
of
Business
Information.

(
g)
Sensitive
Questions
This
section
is
not
applicable
because
the
ICR
does
not
involve
matters
of
a
sensitive
nature.

4.
THE
RESPONDENTS
AND
THE
INFORMATION
REQUESTED
(
a)
Respondents/
NAICS
Codes
Respondents
are
owners
or
operators
of
new,
modified
or
reconstructed
stationary
combustion
turbines
that
have
a
manufacturer's
nameplate
rating
greater
than
or
equal
to
1
megawatt
(
MW).
These
standards
affect
any
industry,
State,
local,
or
tribal
government
using
a
stationary
combustion
turbine
as
defined
in
the
regulation.
The
North
American
Industrial
Classification
System
(
NAICS)
codes
for
facilities
using
stationary
combustion
turbines
affected
by
the
regulation
include:
2211

summarizes
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
of
this
regulation.

(
ii)
Respondent
Activities:
The
respondent
activities
required
by
the
regulation
are
provided
under
the
first
column
of
Tables
1
through

introduced
in
section
6(
a).

(
iii)
Summary
of
Requirements:
The
information
collection
activities
in
this
ICR
include
stack
tests,
continuous
emission
monitoring,
fuel
sampling,
one­
time
and
periodic
reports,
and
the
maintenance
of
records.
The
rule
requires
facilities
to
meet
an
emission
limitation
for
NOx.
Initial
compliance
is
demonstrated
through
performance
testing.
To
demonstrate
continuing
compliance,
sources
may
conduct
annual
stack
testing.
As
an
alternative
to
continuous
monitoring,
sources
may
continuously
monitor
emissions,
operating
parameters,
or
water
or
steam
to
fuel
ratio.
The
rule
also
requires
facilities
to
meet
an
emission
limitation
for
SO
2.
Compliance
with
the
SO
2
limit
is
demonstrated
either
by
monitoring
the
total
sulfur
content
of
the
fuel,
or
providing
a
contract
or
tariff
sheet
showing
that
the
fuel
has
a
sulfur
content
below
300
ppmw.

Following
the
initial
compliance
demonstration,
the
owner
or
operator
must
submit
an
initial
notification
of
compliance.
Excess
emissions
and
monitoring
system
performance
reports
must
be
submitted
semiannually
to
document
whether
any
deviations
from
the
emission
limitations
occurred.
Facilities
must
submit
notifications
for
construction
or
reconstruction,
actual
startup,
demonstration
of
continuous
emission
6
monitoring
systems
(
CEMS),
and
performance
tests.
Stationary
combustion
turbines
that
meet
certain
requirements
will
not
have
to
follow
any
of
the
requirements
of
the
regulation,
with
the
exception
that
they
will
have
to
submit
a
one­
time
initial
notification.

Agency
Activities
A
list
of
Agency
activities
for
the
first
3
years
following
the
effective
date
of
the
standard
is
provided
in
Tables
4
through

which
are
introduced
in
section

Data
obtained
during
periodic
visits
by
EPA
personnel,
from
records
maintained
by
the
respondents,
and
from
information
provided
in
semiannual
reports
will
be
tabulated
and
published
for
internal
EPA
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
Records
of
measurements,
maintenance,
reports,
and
records
must
be
retained
for
two
years
following
the
date
of
the
item.

(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
Minimizing
the
information
collection
burden
for
all
sizes
of
organizations
is
a
continuing
effort
for
the
EPA.
The
Stationary
Combustion
Turbine
NSPS
is
applicable
only
to
stationary
combustion
turbines
greater
than
or
equal
to
1
MW.
We
do
not
believe
that
the
NSPS
will
have
a
significant
impact
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities.

Furthermore,
although
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
small
and
large
businesses,
these
requirements
are
considered
the
minimum
needed
to
7
ensure
compliance
and,
therefore,
cannot
be
reduced
further
for
small
businesses.

(
d)
Collection
Schedule
A
notification
of
the
date
that
construction
or
reconstruction
of
the
source
begins
must
be
submitted
no
later
than
30
days
after
the
date
construction
or
reconstruction
commences.
A
notification
of
the
actual
date
of
initial
startup
must
be
submitted
within
15
days
after
startup.
A
notification
of
the
date
of
demonstration
of
the
CEMS
performance
must
be
submitted
not
less
than
30
days
prior
to
the
demonstration.
Sources
must
submit
a
notification
of
a
performance
test
at
least
30
days
prior
to
the
date
of
the
test,
and
submit
a
written
report
of
the
results
of
the
performance
test
within
60
days
after
achieving
the
maximum
production
rate
at
which
the
facility
will
be
operated,
but
not
later
than
180
days
after
initial
startup
of
the
facility.
Semiannual
excess
emissions
and
monitoring
systems
performance
reports
must
be
submitted
by
the
30th
day
following
the
end
of
each
6
month
period.

ESTIMATING
THE
BURDEN
AND
COST
OF
THE
COLLECTION
(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
stationary
combustion
turbine
NSPS
is
estimated
to
affect
approximately
71
new
turbines
in
each
of
the
next
3
years,
or
a
total
of
213
turbines
over
3
years.
It
is
estimated
that
29
turbines
per
year
will
be
dual
fuel,
2
will
fire
diesel
fuel
only,
and
the
remaining
40
will
fire
natural
gas
only.
Only
turbines
firing
diesel
fuel
are
expected
to
perform
fuel
sampling.

Of
the
71
new
turbines
each
year,
it
is
estimated
that
48
will
conduct
annual
stack
8
testing
in
order
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
NOx
emission
limitation.
We
believe
that
the
remaining
23
turbines
will
demonstrate
continuing
compliance
through
the
use
of
NOx
CEMS.
These
turbines
already
use
NOx
CEMS
to
monitor
their
emissions
due
to
requirements
from
rules
such
as
PSD/
NSR,
the
Acid
Rain
program,
or
State
rules,
and
will
therefore
not
incur
any
additional
cost
for
monitoring
equipment
as
a
result
of
the
proposed
NSPS.

(
b)
Estimating
Respondent
Costs
The
information
collection
activities
for
sources
subject
to
these
requirements
are
presented
in
Tables
1
through
3.
The
total
cost
for
each
respondent
activity
includes
labor
costs.
Labor
rates,
on
a
per­
hour
basis,
are
taken
from
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
web
site
(
http://
www.
bls.
gov/
news.
release/
ecec.
toc.
htm)
as
posted
for
June
2004.
The
base
labor
rates
are
$
28.20
for
technical/
professional
personnel,
$
32.12
for
management,
and
$
13.91
for
clerical.
The
total
compensation
rate
is
$
38.82
for
technical/
professional
personnel,
$
45.29
for
managerial,
and
$
19.92
for
clerical.
This
accounts
for
paid
leave,

insurance,
etc.
The
compensation
rates
were
then
adjusted
by
an
overhead
and
profit
rate
of
167
percent.
The
final
total
wage
rates
are
$
65
for
technical/
professional
personnel,

$
76
for
management,
and
$
33
for
clerical.
Costs
for
performance
tests
were
estimated
through
contact
with
the
testing
industry.
A
stack
testing
company
provided
an
estimated
cost
for
a
NOx
performance
test
on
a
single
turbine
of
$
4,000
for
turbines
firing
one
fuel
and
$
7,000
for
turbines
firing
two
fuels.

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
Because
the
information
collection
requirements
were
developed
as
an
incidental
part
of
standards
development,
no
costs
can
be
attributed
to
the
development
of
the
information
collection
requirements.
Because
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
on
the
part
of
the
respondents
are
required
under
section
111
of
the
CAA,
no
operational
costs
will
be
incurred
by
the
Federal
government.
Examination
of
records
to
be
maintained
by
the
respondents
would
occur
incidentally
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources
that
is
part
of
the
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program
and,
therefore,
is
not
attributable
to
the
ICR.

The
Agency
burden
and
cost
estimates
include
only
those
items
where
the
government
would
incur
additional
costs
as
a
result
of
the
information
collection.
These
costs
include
user
costs
associated
with
the
review
and
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
These
are
presented
in
Tables
4
through
6.

The
hourly
burden
for
review
of
reports
was
estimated
through
discussion
with
personnel
from
local
agencies
who
review
these
types
of
reports.
Labor
rates
for
Federal
employees
are
based
on
the
January
2005,
Office
of
Personnel
Management
pay
rates
for
General
Schedule
employees
(
see
http://
www.
opm.
gov/
oca/
05tables/
html/
gs_
h.
asp).
The
pay
rates
were
multiplied
by
the
standard
government
benefits
multiplication
factor
of
1.6.
The
resulting
average
hourly
labor
costs
are
$
47
for
technical
personnel,
$
78
for
management,
and
$
27
for
clerical.

(
d)
Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
The
respondent
universe
was
estimated
through
existing
and
projected
plant
permits
and
industry
orders
for
stationary
combustion
turbines.
The
total
burden
is
calculated
by
adding
the
total
technical,
management,
and
clerical
hours
per
year.
The
technical
hours
are
calculated

3
years
after
the
implementation
of
the
NSPS
for
technical,
managerial,
and
clerical
staff
at

and
then
dividing
that
total
by

to
determine
the
average

For

estimates
that
industry
would
expend
20,542

Variations
in
the
Annual
Bottom
Line
The
total
number
of
respondent
labor
hours
in
the
first
year
for
each
facility
is
179
hours
(
12,687/
71
=
179).
This
represents
a
total
cost
to
this
respondent
of
$
16,547
($
1,174,810/
71
=
$
16,547)
in
the
first
year.
In
the
second
year
the
respondent
hours
and
costs
for
each
facility
would
decrease
to
145
and
$
8,935;
respectively.
In
the
third
year
the
respondent
hours
would
be
133
and
the
costs
would
be
$
8,147.

The
total
burden
and
cost
estimates
for
the
first
3
years
after
the
NSPS
is
promulgated
are
given
in
Tables
1
through
3
and
Table
7.
The
variation
in
total
activity
and
respondent
burden
and
cost
from
year
to
year
is
shown
in
the
tables.
In
years
1,
2,
and
3,
the
total
costs
are
$
1,174,810;
$
1,903,160;
and
$
2,313,823;
respectively
(
see
Tables
1
through
3
and
7).
In
year
1,

71
facilities
are
in
startup
phase.
In
year
2,
71
facilities
are
in
startup
phase
and
71
are
under
normal
operation.
By
the
third
year,
142
facilities
are
under
normal
operation,
while
71
are
in
startup
mode.

The
total
number
of
agency
hours
for
review
of
reports
also
varies
as
more
units
start
up
and
as
the
plants
progress
from
startup
reporting
to
annual
compliance
reporting.
The
total
number
of
agency
hours
for
years
1,
2,
and
3
are
829;
1,266;
and
1,703
The
corresponding
agency
costs
for
activities
during
these
years
are
38,619;
58,987;
and
79,355
(
