EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR,
after appearing in the Federal Register
when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or
by other appropriate means, such as on
the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
Abstract: Owners or operators of
steam generating units subject to
Subpart D must make one-time-only
notifications of construction/
reconstruction, anticipated and actual
startup, initial performance test,
physical or operational changes, and
demonstration of a continuous
monitoring system. They must also
submit reports on initial performance
test results, monitoring system
performance, and excess emissions.
Records must be maintained of startups,
shutdowns, malfunctions, and periods
when the continuous monitoring system
is inoperative.
The required notifications are used to
inform the Agency or delegated
authority when a source becomes
subject to the standard. Performance test
reports are needed as these are the
Agency’s record of 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. The
monitoring and excess emissions reports
(which are semiannual) are used for
problem identification, as a check on
source operation and maintenance, and
for compliance determinations. The
information collected from
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements are used for targeting
inspections, and for other uses in
compliance and enforcement programs.
Responses to this information
collection are deemed to be mandatory,
per section 114(a) of the Clean Air Act.
The required information consists of
emissions data and other information
that have been determined not to be
private. However, 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 Title 40, chapter 1,
part 2, subpart B—Confidentiality of
Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR
part 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976;
amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8,
1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978;
44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 46.6 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,

effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Owners or operators of fossil-fuel-fired
steam generating units.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
660.
Frequency of Response: Semiannual.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
61,545 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$13,415,450, which includes $0
annualized capital start up costs,
$9,900,000 Operations & Maintenance
(O & M) annual costs, and $3,515,450
annual labor costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is no
change of hours in the total estimated
burden currently identified in the OMB
inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
Dated: October 25, 2006.
