Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR part 60,
subpart JJJJ) were promulgated on January 18, 2008; and most-recently
amended on August 10, 2022. These regulations apply to existing and new
manufacturers, owners, and operators of stationary spark ignition (SI)
internal combustion engines (ICE) that commenced construction,
modification, or reconstruction either on or after the dates specified
at 40 CFR 60.4230(a)(1)-(6). 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 60, subpart JJJJ.
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.
Form Numbers: 5900-596.
Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, owners, and operators
of stationary spark ignition internal combustion engines.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart JJJJ).
Estimated number of respondents: 20,088 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and annually.
Total estimated burden: 38,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $7,540,000 (per year), which includes
$2,920,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes or
changes in regulatory requirements. The change in the burden and cost
estimates is due primarily to an increase in the number of existing
sources subject to rule requirements. This increase is based on the
growth rate from the prior ICR and assumes continued growth in the
manufacture and use of SI ICE. This has led to an increase in O&M
costs, as well as for recordkeeping and reporting costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
