Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal 
Combustion Engines (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Stationary 
Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (EPA ICR Number 1975.11, OMB 
Control Number 2060-0548), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. 
This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved 
through April 30, 2020. Public comments were previously requested, via 
the Federal Register, on May 6, 2019 during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A 
fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated 
burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor 
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before March 30, 
2020.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2013-0340, to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our 
preferred method), or by email to [email protected], or by mail to: 
EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 
1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460; and (2) OMB via email 
to [email protected].

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion 
Engines (40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ) apply to owners and operators of 
a stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) at either 
a major or area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions, 
except if the stationary RICE is being tested at a stationary RICE test 
cell/stand. A stationary RICE is any internal combustion engine which 
uses reciprocating motion to convert heat energy into mechanical work 
and which is not mobile. New facilities include those that commenced 
construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of 
proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 
40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ.
    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 affected facility, or any period during which the 
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of 
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of stationary 
reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart ZZZZ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 910,177 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,620,000 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $461,000,000 (per year), which includes 
$41,700,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & 
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. The increase in burden from the most recently 
approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of respondents. EPA 
estimates a linear growth in the industry sector with an additional of 
1,284 new sources per year that become subject to the NESHAP, plus 
there is another 755,430 respondents which are responsible for only 
recordkeeping requirements. The capital/startup and operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs have increased compared with the costs in the 
previous ICR due to an increase in the number of existing sources 
operating portable CO monitors.
