Abstract: The NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJJJJ) affects new and existing industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers that are located at or part of area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The standard contains six subcategories: existing boilers designed to burn biomass, coal, or liquid fuels and new boilers designed to burn biomass, coal, or liquid fuels. The information collection activities include initial and annual stack tests, fuel analyses, operating parameter monitoring, biennial tune-ups, one-time energy audits, one-time and periodic reports, and maintenance of records. Varying levels of requirements apply to each subcategory. The information collection activities will enable EPA to determine initial and continuous compliance with emission standards for regulated pollutants, and ensure that VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:50 Sep 28, 2018 Jkt 247001 facilities conduct proper planning, operation, and unit maintenance. The provisions of Section 114(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S. C Section 7414(a)(1) provide the broad authority for the reporting of compliance monitoring and enforcement information, along with Subpart QReports in 40 CFR 51: Sections 51.324(a) and (b), and 51.327. Respondents: Owners and operators of industrial, commercial, or institutional boilers. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, Subpart JJJJJJ). Estimated number of respondents: 96,985 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, biennially, semiannually and annually. Annual estimated burden: 1,656,984 hours. Annual estimated cost: $280.4 million, includes $125.5 million annualized capital or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in Estimates: There is a projected increase in burden due to continued growth rates for certain subcategories of equipment subject to the standard.
