Abstract:
EPA and permitting authorities will use the information required by part 64 in providing oversight and guidance to industry on selection of monitoring and methods for reporting compliance status. Owners and operators of emissions units with add-on control equipment and subject to title V operating permits must collect information in the form of monitoring, periodic reporting, and record keeping for purposes of compliance certification. Permitting authorities will use the information collected and submitted in permit applications in determining acceptability of proposed compliance assurance monitoring. The permitting authorities will use source monitoring data to assess compliance, as input into reports to other agencies, and, when necessary, as evidence in enforcement proceedings.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
There is decrease of over 7.4 million hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The main reason for this decrease is that we found that all sources have had their title V permits issued and, with the exception of sources required to develop a QIP, sources were meeting the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for CAM by complying with the requirements of the title V program. We revised some of our assumptions to account for the additional requirements set forth under the CAM rule that are not outlined in the title V program, while at the same time ensuring that requirements met under the title V program were not being re-counted in this assessment. This change results in an estimated burden decrease of 6.2 million hours. Additionally, other reasons for the decrease include: most facilities are now using electronic monitoring to conduct their recording, thus, resulting in a decrease in the number of labor hours needed and all facilities with existing permits that include approved 40 CFR part 64 monitoring have now submitted the existing monitoring approach in their renewal applications, therefore, significantly reducing the costs for new monitoring development. Furthermore, in order to reflect projected trends for the next 3 years, we updated some of the formulas used to calculate burden. All of these factors combined result in around 1.2 million hour per year reduction in burden.
