The New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion
Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII) were proposed on July 11,
2005; promulgated on July 11, 2006; and revised on November 13,
2019, and August 10, 2022. The proposed amendments 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 NSPS for Stationary Compression
Ignition Internal Combustion Engines. These regulations apply to
manufacturers, owners, and operators of new stationary compression
ignition (CI) internal combustion engines (ICE). New facilities
include those that either commenced construction, modification, or
reconstruction after the date of proposal. For the purposes of this
subpart, the date that construction commences is the date the
engine is ordered by the owner or operator. This information is
being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart
IIII. 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
the NSPS.
In terms of the change in
burden due to the proposed addition of electronic reporting
requirements to the NSPS for Stationary Compression Ignition
Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII), the
result is an average annual reduction in burden for respondents
over the three years of this ICR of 95,278 hours per year.
