The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating
Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) were
proposed on December 19, 2002: promulgated on June 15, 2004; and
revised on: June 26, 2006; January 18, 2008; January 30, 2013; and
February 27, 2014, and August 10, 2022. These regulations 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. Current
amendments to the regulations mainly add electronic reporting
provisions to the rule. In general, the changes do not result in
regulated entities needing to submit anything additional
electronically that is not currently submitted via paper copies,
and this is therefore expected to lessen recordkeeping and
reporting burden. This supporting statement addresses incremental
information collection activities that will be imposed by the
amendments to the NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines.
The increase in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of
respondents since the last ICR Renewal. EPA estimates a linear
growth in the industry sector with an additional 1,374 new sources
per year that become subject to this NESHAP. 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,
escalating the O&M costs of CO monitors from $2007 to $2021,
and escalating the O&M costs of small and large CPMS from $2007
to $2021. There is also decrease in burden due to the proposed
addition of electronic reporting requirements to the NESHAP for
Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part
63, Subpart ZZZZ), resulting an average annual reduction in burden
for respondents over the three years of this ICR of 61,799 hours
per year and an average reduction in cost for the three years of
this ICR of $7,581,151 per year.
