New facilities include those that commenced either construction, or modification or reconstruction after January 14, 2003. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYY. 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: 5900–600. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of stationary combustion turbines. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYY). Estimated number of respondents: 280 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually, annually. Total estimated burden: 8,490 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,060,000 (per year), which includes $37,100 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR is due to adjustments. The change in burden for the new and existing facilities is due primarily to implementation of prior amendments to the regulation. An amendment finalized in March 2022 removed the stay of effectiveness for standards implemented in 2004. The removed stay affected standards of new lean premix and diffusion flame gasfired turbines. This led to an adjustment increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR since there is an increase in the number of existing sources required to meet the notification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements over the next three years. During the development of rule amendments in 2020 and 2022, EPA collaborated with industry to investigate an estimate of existing sources. The data collected by EPA indicated an additional 158 sources were identified compared to the previous ICR. As a result, we identified 246 existing facilities subject to Subpart YYYY. This ICR assumes a continuous VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:17 Jan 25, 2023 Jkt 259001 growth rate of 8 new gas-fired turbines per year based on the industry growth rate in the currently-approved ICR and information collected during the 2020 and 2022 rulemakings.
