Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Small
Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generation Units (40
[[Page 102892]]
CFR part 60, subpart Dc) were proposed on June 9, 1989; promulgated on
September 12, 1990; and amended last on February 16, 2012. These
regulations apply to existing facilities and new industrial-commercial-
institutional steam generating units with a maximum design heat input
capacity of 29 megawatts (MW) (100 MMBtu/hr) or less, but greater than
or equal to 2.9 MW (10 MMBtu/hr), commencing construction,
modification, or reconstruction after June 9, 1989. New facilities
include those that commenced construction, modification or
reconstruction after the date of the proposal. This information is
being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Dc.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Small industrial-commercial-
institutional steam generators.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart Dc).
Estimated number of respondents: 356 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 241,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $51,700,000 (per year), includes $21,300,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
respondent burden, and capital and O&M costs from the most-recently
approved ICR. This increase is not due to any program changes. The
change in burden and costs is due to an increase in the number of
respondents. This ICR assumes an industry growth rate of 11 respondents
per year, or an increase of 33 respondents, since the last ICR renewal
period, which results in an increase in burden and the number of
responses submitted. The industry growth also results in an increase in
capital O&M costs. There is also an increase in costs, due to the use
of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the most recent
Bureau of Labor Statistics report (September 2022) to calculate
respondent burden costs. There is an additional increase in capital and
O&M costs due to an adjustment to increase from 2007 to 2022 $ using
the CEPCI Equipment Cost Index.
