Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the
regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart DD were proposed on
January 18, 1977, and promulgated on August 3, 1978. These regulations
apply to existing facilities and new facilities located at grain
elevators: each truck unloading station, truck loading station, railcar
unloading station, railcar loading station, grain dryer, and all grain
handling operations commencing construction, modification or
reconstruction after August 3, 1978. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart DD.
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: Grain elevators.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart DD).
Estimated number of respondents: 254 (total).
[[Page 61146]]
Frequency of response: Initially.
Total estimated burden: 584 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $80,000 (per year). There are no annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: The increase in burden from the most
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment
increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an
increase in the estimated number of existing respondents. The previous
ICR documented 200 sources, but after a current ECHO database search,
the number of respondents estimated in this ICR is 254. The growth rate
remains at zero new sources per year.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
