Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Combustion Turbines were proposed on January 14, 2003; promulgated on March 5, 2004; and amended last on April 20, 2006. The regulations apply to sources that either commenced construction or reconstruction after January 14, 2003. On August 18, 2004, these standards were amended to stay the effectiveness for the two gas-fired stationary combustion turbine subcategories (i.e., lean pre-mix gas-fired turbines and diffusion flame gas-fired turbines). Under this stay, new sources in either subcategory that are either constructed or reconstructed after January 14, 2003 are required to submit initial notification reports, but are also relieved of the obligation to comply with other reporting or monitoring requirements until EPA makes a final decision. Amendments to the NESHAP were proposed on April 12, 2019, as a result of a residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA; however, these amendments have not been finalized and no burden associated with the proposed amendments is included in this ICR. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYY. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to adjustments. The change in burden for the new and existing facilities is due primarily to implementation of prior amendments to the regulation. An amendment finalized in March 2022 removed the stay of effectiveness for standards implemented in 2004. The removed stay affected standards of new lean premix and diffusion flame gas-fired turbines. This led to an adjustment increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR since there is an increase in the number of existing sources required to meet the notification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements over the next three years. During the development of rule amendments in 2020 and 2022, EPA collaborated with industry to investigate an estimate of existing sources. The data collected by EPA indicated an additional 158 sources were identified compared to the previous ICR. As a result, we identified 246 existing facilities subject to Subpart YYYY. This ICR assumes a continuous growth rate of 8 new gas-fired turbines per year based on the industry growth rate in the currently-approved ICR and information collected during the 2020 and 2022 rulemakings.
