Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports, and results. Owners or operators 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.

Short Statement: There is an increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The increase in burden from the most- recently approved ICR is primarily due to the December 2015 final rule amendments. The changes to 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart UUU caused by the rule amendment are summarized in section 1(b). The specific changes that impacted this ICR are (1) the elimination of the SSM exemption, (2) the requirement for FCCUs to do periodic PM performance testing and a one-time HCN performance test, and (3) revisions to requirements for catalytic reforming catalyst regeneration when using active purging. This ICR accounts for the burden presented previously in both EPA ICR Number 1844.06 (existing rule) and EPA ICR Number 1877.07 (2015 amendment). The elimination of the SSM exemption did not lead to any changes to the time or cost burden estimates, or to the number of responses, because the previous assumption was that all existing respondents have already complied with the initial requirements to prepare and submit the SSM plan, thus the time and cost estimate was already zero. In this supporting statement, we have added a footnote in Table 1 to explain that the SSM exemption has been eliminated and that the burden item can be removed out of future ICR supporting statements. We have accounted for the additional labor and O&M costs to notify, perform, and prepare and submit the reports for the PM and HCN performance tests for FCCUs. We have also accounted for the additional labor for owners or operators of facilities with FCCUs to update their operating, maintenance, and monitoring plan, to account for the new requirements. We have also accounted for the additional labor and responses associated with training personnel and performing an engineering assessment for evaluation of the new catalytic reforming unit operational requirements. Furthermore, we have added a new burden item for performing relative accuracy test audits on units using CEMs, based on industry comments received from API (further discussed in Section 3(c)). This contributed to an increase in the total labor burden, cost and number of annual responses. In addition, the total number of respondents was revised from 123 to 142, which contributed to the increase in burden and cost.
