Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart GG) were promulgated
on September 10, 1979; and last-amended on February 27, 2014. These
regulations
[[Page 19639]]
apply to existing facilities and new facilities that have stationary
gas turbines with a heat input at peak load equal or greater than 10.7
gigajoules per hour (based on the lower heating value of the fuel
fired). There are no new facilities under this subpart, as any facility
which commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after
February 18, 2005 is subject to the NSPS for Stationary Combustion
Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart KKKK). This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart GG.
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: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Stationary gas turbine facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart GG).
Estimated number of respondents: 535 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 69,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $8,290,000 (per year), includes $0 in
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) the
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in
the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation
and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
