Abstract: The synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI) is regulated by both New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) standards. The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), and any changes or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subparts Ka, Kb, VV, VVa, DDD, III, NNN and RRR. The affected entities are also subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subparts BB, Y, V, F, G, H and I. As an alternative, SOCMI sources may choose to comply with the above standards under the consolidated air rule (CAR) at 40 CFR part 65 as promulgated December 14, 2000. Synthetic organic chemical manufacturing facilities subject to NSPS requirements must notify EPA of construction, modification, startups, shutdowns, date and results of initial performance test and excess emissions. Semiannual reports are also required. Synthetic organic chemical manufacturing facilities subject to NESHAP requirements must submit one-time only reports of any physical or operational changes and the results of initial performance tests. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 46093 affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Periodic reports are also required semiannually at a minimum. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Synthetic organic chemical manufacturing facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 65). Estimated number of respondents: 1,356 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 1,100,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $192,000,000 (per year), which includes $64,000,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,109,999 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The decrease is due to a reduction in the numbers of new and existing respondents for many of the Subparts. These estimates reflect a significant decrease in the number of respondents for the referencing subparts and the CAR from the prior ICR, which listed approximately 5,198 respondents. These estimates are based on the EPA’s recent reevaluation of the source category inventories for the referencing subparts 40 CFR part 60, subparts Ka, Kb, VV, VVa, DDD, III, NNN, and RRR, and 40 CFR part 63, subparts F, G, H, and I.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ) were proposed on June 12, 2006; promulgated on January 18, 2008; and most-recently amended on February 27, 2014. These regulations apply to existing and new manufacturers, owners, and operators of stationary spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engines (ICE) that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction either on or after the dates specified at 40 CFR 60.4230(a)(1)– (6). 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 60, subpart JJJJ. 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, owners, and operators of stationary spark ignition internal combustion engines (SI ICE). Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ). Estimated number of respondents: 19,329 (total). Frequency of response: Annually. Total estimated burden: 36,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $6,860,000 (per year), which includes $2,570,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes or changes in regulatory requirements. The change in the burden and cost estimates is due primarily to an PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 increase in the number of existing sources subject to rule requirements. This increase is based on the growth rate from the prior ICR and assumes continued growth in the manufacture and use of SI ICE. This has led to an increase in O&M costs, as well as for recordkeeping and reporting costs. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for 
Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart JJJJ) were proposed on June 12, 2006; promulgated on January 
18, 2008; and most-recently amended on February 27, 2014. These 
regulations apply to existing and new manufacturers, owners, and 
operators of stationary spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engines 
(ICE) that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction 
either on or after the dates specified at 40 CFR 60.4230(a)(1)-(6). 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 60, subpart JJJJ.
    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, and are required of 
all affected facilities subject to NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, owners, and operators 
of stationary spark ignition internal combustion engines (SI ICE).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart JJJJ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 19,329 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually.
    Total estimated burden: 36,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $6,860,000 (per year), which includes 
$2,570,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total 
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes or 
changes in regulatory requirements. The change in the burden and cost 
estimates is due primarily to an increase in the number of existing 
sources subject to rule requirements. This increase is based on the 
growth rate from the prior ICR and assumes continued growth in the 
manufacture and use of SI ICE. This has led to an increase in O&M 
costs, as well as for recordkeeping and reporting costs.
