Title: NSPS for Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart
GG) (Renewal).
Abstract: Owners and operators of stationary gas turbines subject
to New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) subpart GG must submit a one-
time-only notification of construction/reconstruction, modification,
and startup date, initial performance test date, physical or
operational changes, and demonstration of a continuous monitoring
system. They also must provide a report on initial performance test
results, monitoring results and any excess emissions. Records must be
maintained of startups, shutdowns, malfunctions; periods when the
continuous monitoring system is inoperative; sulfur and nitrogen
content of the fuel; fuel to water ratio; rate of fuel consumption; and
ambient conditions. Records must be maintained for two years. Responses
to this information collection are deemed to be mandatory, per section
114(a) of the Clean Air Act. This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart GG.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 56
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners and Operators of stationary
gas turbines with a heat input at peak load equal to or greater than
10.7 gigajoules per hour.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 535.
Frequency of Response: Semiannual.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 59,519 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $3,837,190, which includes $0
annualized capital/startup costs, $0 annual O&M costs, and $3,837,190
annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 33,920 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a reduction in the number
of existing sources resulting from a more accurate estimate of the
average number of existing and anticipated new sources.
Dated: April 13, 2004.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
