Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Coal- and Oil-Fired
Electric Utility Steam Generating Units
(40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUUU) apply
to each individual or group of two or
more new, reconstructed, or existing
electric utility steam generating units
(EGUs) within a contiguous area and
under common control. An EGU is
defined as a fossil fuel-fired combustion
unit of more than 25 megawatts electric
(MWe) that serves a generator that
produces electricity for sale, or a fossil
fuel-fired unit that cogenerates steam
and electricity and supplies more than
one-third of its potential electric output
capacity and more than 25 MWe output
to any utility power distribution system
for sale. New facilities include those
that commenced construction or
reconstruction after the date of proposal.
In general, all NESHAP standards
require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports
by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining
compliance with 40 CFR part 63,
subpart UUUUU.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Owners and operators of coal- and oilfired EGUs.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR 63, Subpart
UUUUU).
Estimated number of respondents:
322 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 284,000
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $132,000,000
(per year), which includes $104,000,000
in annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an
adjustment decrease in the total
estimated burden as currently identified
in the OMB Inventory of Approved
Burdens. This change is not due to any
program changes. The overall decrease
in the burden and cost estimates
occurred due to more accurate estimates
of existing and anticipated new sources.
Additionally, there is an adjustment
increase in the capital/start-up and
O&M costs from the previous ICR. The
prior ICR inadvertently removed O&M
costs for existing sources, while this ICR
reincorporates O&M costs for existing
respondents.

municipal waste combustor unit
capacity greater than 225 megagrams per
day of municipal solid waste. In general,
all NSPS standards require initial
notifications, performance tests, and
periodic reports by the owners/
operators of the affected facilities. They
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. These
notifications, reports, and records are
essential in determining compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea and
Eb.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Owners and operators of municipal
waste combustor (MWC) facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea
and Eb).
Estimated number of respondents: 23.
Frequency of response: Initially,
quarterly and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 34,900 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $3,440,000 (per
year), which includes $226,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an
increase in the respondent burdens from
the most recent ICR. The adjustments
are due to a change in the number of
sources subject to each Subpart, which
was revised to reflect more recent
information obtained through the
Agency’s research within the MWC
sector.

II. What action is the agency taking?
EPA requests public comment on a
petition received from CFS requesting
EPA take the following actions:
1. Revise pesticide registration
regulations to take into account all
pesticide ingredients (active, inert and
adjuvant) and their effects on the
environment.
2. Revise pesticide registration
regulations to require whole pesticide
formulation and tank mixture testing to
take into account synergistic effects.
3. Revise pesticide registration
regulations to require inert ingredients
and whole pesticide formulations
testing for chronic toxicological effects
and degradation.
4. Revise pesticide registration
regulations to require Endangered
Species Act (ESA) consultation on the
effects of whole pesticide formulations
and tank mixtures on threatened and
endangered species.
5. Comply with the above
requirements in conducting statutorily
mandated registration reviews of
pesticides.
III. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
