Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), and any changes, or additions to the Provisions, which are specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYY. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit an initial notification report, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 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 affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semi-annually.

Form numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Stationary combustion turbines constructed or reconstructed after January 14, 2003.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYY).

Estimated number of respondents: 131 (total).

Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and annually.

Total estimated burden: 2,220 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $239,000 (per year), which includes $9,700 in either annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in respondent labor hours in this ICR from the most-recently approved ICR. This is due to a projected industry growth, which results in an increase in the estimated number of sources subject to these standards. Additionally, there is a small adjustment decrease in the capital/startup cost due to a correction. The previous ICR incorrectly calculated the labor cost for installing catalyst inlet temperature monitoring devices.
