Abstract:
The NSPS for New Residential Wood Heaters applies to owners and operators of any existing or new facilities with new residential wood heaters. The affected source is any facility that generates particulate matter (PM) from wood heaters, such as wood heater manufacturers, testing laboratories, and third-party certifiers. There are an estimated 33 manufacturers, with 85 model lines, and 12 laboratories (inclusive of both test labs and third-party certifiers) subject to the new residential wood heater NSPS.

Short Statement:
There is an increase in the total estimated respondent annual burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. These changes are not due to any program changes. The increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of test laboratories and third-party certifiers subject to these standards and is not due to any program changes. The number of sources has been adjusted in this ICR to reflect more current information obtained regarding the number of manufacturers certifying model lines in advance of Subpart AAAs Step 2 PM standards, which go into effect in 2020, as well as data that indicates a decline in the number of manufacturers based on ongoing industry consolidation and decreasing market size, and to reflect additional entities obtaining EPA approval as test laboratories or third-party certifiers. There is also an increase in respondent burden costs from the most-recently approved ICR due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR references updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate respondent burden costs. There is a decrease in capital/startup M costs as compared to the previous ICR. This change is due to a decrease in the number of manufacturers, and because initial compliance requirements for test laboratories and third-party certifiers within the standard occurred during the period of the previous ICR. The overall result is a decrease in costs to the industry. The supporting statement for this information collection was revised to clarify and consolidate the information items requested (including notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements) and respondent activities in section 4(b), as well as for agency activities in section 5(a). These requirements were previously listed in Appendix A of the prior ICR and have been relocated in sections 4(b) and 5(a) to help more easily identify the relevant data items and activities that contribute to burden. There are no changes to these requirements from the prior ICR.
