Abstract:
The respondents to the information collection are owners or operators of stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) that either are located at area sources of air toxics emissions or that have a site rating of less than or equal to 500 horsepower and are located at major sources of air toxics emissions, and were constructed or reconstructed before June 12, 2006. Respondents also include owners or operators of stationary compression ignition RICE that have a site rating of greater than 500 horsepower and are located at major sources of air toxics emissions, and were constructed or reconstructed before December 19, 2002. These engines are used at facilities such as power plants and chemical and manufacturing plants to generate electricity and power pumps and compressors. They are also used in emergencies to produce electricity and pump water for flood and fire control. These engines emit a variety of air toxics, but primarily formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein and methanol. The final rule requires engine owners and operators to meet emission limits that will result in significant reductions of HAP as well as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx) volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur oxides (SOx). Also, the final rule requires owners of existing stationary diesel engines with a site rating of greater than 300 HP to use ultra low sulfur diesel fuel. Compliance with the final standards will be demonstrated through the use of performance testing and operation and maintenance requirements. The information collection activities will be used to determine initial and continuous compliance with emission standards for the regulated pollutants.
