Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 205 / Monday, October 26, 2009 / Notices
Abstract: EPA introduced ENERGY
STAR, a voluntary public-private energy
efficiency partnership program, in 1992
to label energy efficient computers.
Since then, EPA and the Department of
Energy (DOE) have expanded the
ENERGY STAR Program to promote
energy efficiency in over 60 product
categories and in commercial and
residential buildings. Increased energy
efficiency through ENERGY STAR
provides cost savings to businesses and
homeowners, reduces greenhouse gas
emissions from power plants, and
increases U.S. energy security and
reliability.
EPA announced ENERGY STAR for
New Homes in 1995 as part of its effort
to promote energy efficient construction
in the new homes market. EPA rolled
out its existing homes effort in 2000 to
promote cost-effective upgrades to the
existing homes market. These two
efforts promote home envelope
improvements such as the proper
installation of adequate insulation and
HVAC equipment, and installation of
energy efficient windows, lights, and
appliances. Since participation in the
ENERGY STAR program is voluntary,
partners are not required to submit
information to EPA. Information
received to date has been submitted
voluntarily to EPA and is not of a
confidential nature. EPA has developed
this ICR to obtain authorization to
collect information from the public,
including businesses, for the following
activities:
ENERGY STAR Partnership and
Related Activities: An organization
interested in joining ENERGY STAR as
a partner is asked to submit a
partnership agreement establishing its
commitment to ENERGY STAR.
Partners agree to undertake efforts such
as educating staff and the public about
their partnership with ENERGY STAR,
developing and implementing a plan to
improve energy performance in homes,
and highlighting achievements utilizing
the ENERGY STAR brand.
Evaluation: Partners and other
program participants are asked to
periodically submit information to EPA
as needed to assist in evaluating
ENERGY STAR’s effectiveness in
helping organizations promote energy
efficiency in homes, to assess partners’
level of interest and ability in promoting
ENERGY STAR in the residential sector,
and to determine the impact that
ENERGY STAR has on residential
energy use and the supply and demand
for energy-efficient homes and home
improvement products and services.
Quarterly Reporting: Partners are
asked to submit information each
calendar quarter to assist EPA in
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:19 Oct 23, 2009
Jkt 220001
tracking and measuring progress in
building and promoting ENERGY STAR
qualified homes and installing and
promoting energy-efficient
improvements including those made
under a Home Performance with
ENERGY STAR program. This includes
submitting quarterly updates on
partners’ level of activity in qualifying
new homes for the ENERGY STAR label
and activity in improving the energy
efficiency of existing homes under
Home Performance with ENERGY STAR
and ENERGY STAR’s HVAC Quality
Installation program.
ENERGY STAR Awards: Each year,
partners are eligible for an ENERGY
STAR award, which recognizes
organizations demonstrating
outstanding support in promoting
ENERGY STAR. This award program
provides partners public recognition
and market differentiation. An
application form is submitted to EPA by
partners interested in being eligible for
an award.
Outreach Partnership: Partners have
the opportunity to participate in an
outreach partnership with EPA to
develop public education campaigns
featuring the benefits of ENERGY STAR
qualified homes. Partners interested in
participating in the outreach program
are asked to submit a form detailing
their level of participation.
Burden Statement: The average
annual reporting and recordkeeping
burden for the ENERGY STAR Program
and related activities is estimated to be
about one and a quarter hours per
respondent. 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 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: Home
builders, home energy verification
organizations, lenders, regional energy
efficiency programs/utilities,
contractors, retailers, manufactured
home plants, modular home plants,
realtors, architects, homeowners.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
56,000.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
180,958.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$10,896,852, which includes $16,000 in
annualized capital/startup costs, $1,439
in annual operation and maintenance
costs, and $10,879,413 in annual labor
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 5,509 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase is due to changes
in ENERGY STAR’s residential
programs. New partnership categories
have been added that have collection
activities associated with them. In
addition, new collection activities
related to the evaluation of ENERGY
STAR’s residential programs have been
added. Finally, EPA has adjusted some
of its burden assumptions for its
existing information collections to
reflect changes in the industry.

expire on October 31, 2009. 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: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Stationary Source Combustion Turbines
were proposed on February 18, 2005,
and promulgated on July 6, 2006. The
standards apply to stationary
combustion turbines with a heat input
at peak load equal to or greater than 10.7
gigajoules (10 MMMBtu) per hour,
based on the higher heating value of the
fuel, which commenced construction,
modification or reconstruction after
February 18, 2005. The pollutants
regulated by this subpart are nitrogen
oxide (NOX) and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
Owners or operators of stationary
source combustion turbines are required
to submit an initial notification of
compliance report. In addition, owners
or operators are required to submit stack
tests, continuous emission monitoring,
performance tests and periodic reports.
Owners or operators 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. Semiannual reports are also
required.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this subpart must maintain
a file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least two years following
the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records.
All reports are sent to the delegated
state or local authority. In the event that
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
there is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKKK, as
authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of
the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data
and other information that have been
determined to be private.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 37 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose and 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. All existing
ways will have to adjust to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements that 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:
Owners and operators of stationary
source combustion turbines.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
307.
Frequency of Response: Initially and
semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
32,075.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$2,983,850 in labor costs and no capital/
startup or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
adjustment increase of 16,066 hours in
the total estimated labor hour burden as
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens
because the standard is now fully
implemented. The increase is not due to
any program changes. The previous ICR
covered the initial phase of the standard
implementation, which occurred over a
three-year period. Hence, the average
number of respondents during the
initial phase is less than the number of
respondents when the standard is fully
implemented. This ICR shows the labor
hour and cost burden after full
implementation.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Stationary Source Combustion Turbines were proposed on February 18,
2005, and promulgated on July 6, 2006. The standards apply to
stationary combustion turbines with a heat input at peak load equal to
or greater than 10.7 gigajoules (10 MMMBtu) per hour, based on the
higher heating value of the fuel, which commenced construction,
modification or reconstruction after February 18, 2005. The pollutants
regulated by this subpart are nitrogen oxide (NOX) and
sulfur dioxide (SO2).
Owners or operators of stationary source combustion turbines are
required to submit an initial notification of compliance report. In
addition, owners or operators are required to submit stack tests,
continuous emission monitoring, performance tests and periodic reports.
Owners or operators 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. Semiannual reports are also required.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at
least two years following the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records.
All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are
sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKKK, as
authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The
required information consists of emissions data and other information
that have been determined to be private.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 37
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose and 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. All
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Owners and operators of stationary
source combustion turbines.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 307.
Frequency of Response: Initially and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 32,075.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,983,850 in labor costs and no
capital/startup or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase of 16,066
hours in the total estimated labor hour burden as currently identified
in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens because the standard is
now fully implemented. The increase is not due to any program changes.
The previous ICR covered the initial phase of the standard
implementation, which occurred over a three-year period. Hence, the
average number of respondents during the initial phase is less than the
number of respondents when the standard is fully implemented. This ICR
shows the labor hour and cost burden after full implementation.
