    Title: NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1967.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0540.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2007. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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. The OMB control numbers for 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: These regulations apply to stationary combustion turbines
located at major sources of hazardous air pollutants. On August 18,
2004, EPA stayed the effectiveness of two subcategories of turbines
subject to these regulations: lean pre-mix gas-fired turbines and
diffusion flame gas-fired turbines. Thus, only oil-fired stationary
combustion turbines are currently subject to emission limits under
these standards. In addition, these regulations apply only new sources
that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of the
final rule. Owners or operators of oil-fired stationary combustion
turbines subject to these regulations are required to submit initial
notifications, conduct initial performance testing, submit periodic
compliance reports, and maintain records to demonstrate continuous
compliance. New gas-fired stationary combustion turbines are only
required to submit an initial notification.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 8
(rounded) 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 which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able 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: New and Reconstructed Stationary
Combustion Turbines Located at Major Sources of Hazardous Air
Pollutants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 31.
    Frequency of Response: Initial and Semi-Annual.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 435.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $40,008, includes $0 annualized
Capital Startup costs, $1,500 annualized Operating and Maintenance
Costs (O&M), and $38,508 annualized Labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 2,013 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden from the most recently
approved ICR is due to a change in the regulation. On August 18, 2004
(69 FR 51184), the EPA stayed the effectiveness of this standard for
gas fired turbines. As a result, only new oil fired turbines located at
major HAP sources are subject to emission standards under Subpart YYYY
at this time. New gas fired units are only required to submit a one-
time initial notification.
