    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with the reporting and record keeping requirements for the 
general provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, as well as the 
specific requirements in 40 CFR part 60, subpart IIII. This includes 
submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic 
reports and results, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to determine compliance 
with the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, owners and operators 
of new stationary compression ignition (CI) internal combustion engines 
(ICE).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart IIII).

[[Page 65751]]

    Estimated number of respondents: 206,530 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 408,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $41,200,000 (per year), includes $167,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the respondent 
burden hours from the ICR currently approved by OMB. The increase in 
burden from the most recently approved ICR is primarily due to 
accounting for burden items that became applicable as sources came into 
full compliance with the rule. In this ICR period, owners/operators of 
emergency stationary CI ICE must begin submitting annual reports. The 
first annual report must cover the calendar year 2015 and must be 
submitted no later than March 31, 2016. In addition, this ICR includes 
the burden for owners/operators of stationary CI ICE equipped with 
diesel particulate filter to maintain records of any corrective action 
taken after the high backpressure limit of the engine is approached, 
which became applicable in 2011.
    There is a decrease in the estimated number of responses and the 
O&M cost due to corrections to the Agency's estimates. The decrease is 
not due to any program changes. The previous ICR incorrectly included 
responses for non-emergency operations, and had an inconsistency in 
calculating the O&M cost for selective enforcement audit.
