Abstract:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPPP) apply to any existing, new, or reconstructed engine test cells/stands located at major source facilities that are used for testing internal combustion engines. Owners and operators of engine test cells/stands are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the general provisions of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A, as well as the applicable specific standards in 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart PPPPP. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPPP and must be maintained for at least 5 years from the date on which it was generated.

Short Statement:
There is a decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The regulations were previously amended in a Risk and Technology Review (RTR) on June 3, 2020 at 85 FR 34326. The change in the burden and cost estimates in this ICR occurred because the revised standard has been in effect for 1.5 years and the requirements are different during initial compliance (new facilities) as compared to on-going compliance (existing facilities). The previous ICR (2066.09) reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for those facilities subject to the June 3, 2020 final rule. This ICR (2066.10) reflects the ongoing burden and costs for existing facilities. The final rule amendments eliminated the SSM exemption, removed the SSM plan and SSM recordkeeping requirements, and required electronic submittal of performance test results. This ICR adjusts the burden, following the June 3, 2020 final rule, to reflect the current number of entities anticipated to be subject to the rule, and assumes the one new source identified in the RTR has already complied with the initial notification and testing requirements, resulting in a decrease in the capital/startup costs. This ICR retains the assumption in the final rule ICR that two new sources will submit an initial notification over the next three years, but will not be subject to emission limits, performance testing, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. No new sources that would be subject to the emission limits, performance testing, recordkeeping and reporting requirements are anticipated during the three-year period of this ICR. There is a slight increase in labor costs, which is wholly due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (March 2021) to calculate respondent burden costs.
