Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters (40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDDD) were proposed on January 13, 2003, and promulgated on December 6, 2006. This regulation applies to new, reconstructed, or existing industrial, commercial and institutional boilers and process heaters that are a major source of hazardous air pollutants
(HAP)emissions. A major source of HAP emissions is any stationary source or group of stationary sources located within a contiguous area and under common control that emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year. Owners/operators of industrial, commercial and institutional boilers and process heaters facilities are required to submit initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Respondents 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. Semiannual reports are also required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to NESHAP. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDDD, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined to be private. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 86 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. *Respondents/Affected Entities:* Industrial, commercial and institutional boilers and process heaters facilities. *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 2,625. *Frequency of Response:* Initially, semiannually and occasionally. *Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:* 513,995. *Estimated Total Costs:* $74,783,461, which includes $10,780,000 annualized Capital Startup costs, $18,220,800 annualized Operations & Maintenance (O&M) costs, and $45,783,461 annualized Labor costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* The number of responses subject to the standard is estimated to be 5,974. The number of responses in the previous ICR was 18,788. During the initial compliance period a large number of facilities were required to determine whether they were subject to the standard. Most were not subject and no additional reporting is required, therefore, a large reduction in the number of affected facilities occurred. There is an adjustment decrease of 636,250 hours in the total estimated burden hours as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden has occurred because the initial performance tests and the initial reports for existing sources have been completed and submitted to the Agency. The relatively small number of new sources causes a small increase in burden hours. However, the net overall effect is a decrease in the number of burden hours. There is an increase in the capital/startup and operation and maintenance (O&M) cost compared to the previous ICR. The reason for this increase is due to the fact that this renewal ICR incurred O&M costs as compared with the active ICR that included primarily capital/startup costs. There is also an increase of 289 additional new sources per year over the next three years of this ICR. The net effect is an increase in cost to the subject facilities. Dated: August 14, 2007.
