Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (EPA ICR Number 2196.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0590), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through May 31, 2022. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal Register (86 FR 8634), on February 8, 2021 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Internal Combustion Engines (Renewal)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Stationary Compression
Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (EPA ICR Number 2196.07, OMB

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR
part 60, subpart IIII) regulations apply to manufacturers, owners, and
operators of new stationary compression ignition internal combustion
engines. 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: Form 5900-558.
Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, owners, and operators
of new stationary compression ignition internal combustion engines.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart IIII).
Estimated number of respondents: 207,240 (total).
Frequency of response: Annually.
Total estimated burden: 408,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $48,400,000 (per year), which includes
$242,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no significant change in burden
from the most-recently approved ICR. The change in burden is primarily
due to an increase in the total number of sources and correction of
calculation errors in the most-recently approved ICR. First, the number
of respondents was updated to reflect new respondents based on
continuous growth within the stationary CI engine industry. However,
this ICR also corrects errors from the currently- approved ICR,
including the number of manufacturers conducting certification
recordkeeping and the total number of stationary CI engines. The number
of manufacturers conducting certification recordkeeping has been
adjusted downwards to reflect that this applies to those engine
families for which manufacturers are requesting certification annually.
The total number of stationary CI engines is adjusted to reflect growth
that was not incorporated in the currently approved ICR, and more
accurately reflects the number of respondents submitting an annual
report. Due to these adjustments, there is an overall decrease in
burden, although the rounded burden hours have not changed from the
prior ICR. There was no change in capital costs. This ICR also adjusts
the operation and maintenance costs to reflect more accurately the cost
assumptions for certification activities, based on documentation from
the final rules and as applied to the current estimate of respondents.
The overall result is an increase in costs.
Courtney Kerwin,
Director, Regulatory Support Division.
