Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request; NESHAP 
for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources 
(Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to 
submit an information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Industrial, 
Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources (EPA ICR No. 
2253.04, OMB Control No. 2060-0668) to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act. Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public comments on 
specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described 
below. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently 
approved through October 31, 2018. 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before November 30, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OECA-
2013-0298 online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), by

in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are 
available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed 
online at www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 
WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The 
telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of 
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Burden 
is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). EPA will consider the comments received 
and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be 
submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA will issue 
another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR 
to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: The NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional 
Boilers Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJJJJ) affects new and 
existing industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers that are 
located at or part of area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). 
The standard contains six subcategories: existing boilers designed to 
burn biomass, coal, or liquid fuels and new boilers designed to burn 
biomass, coal, or liquid fuels. The information collection activities 
include initial and annual stack tests, fuel analyses, operating 
parameter monitoring, biennial tune-ups, one-time energy audits, one-
time and periodic reports, and maintenance of records. Varying levels 
of requirements apply to each subcategory. The information collection 
activities will enable EPA to determine initial and continuous 
compliance with emission standards for regulated pollutants, and ensure 
that facilities conduct proper planning, operation, and unit 
maintenance. The provisions of Section 114(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 
42 U.S. C Section 7414(a)(1) provide the broad authority for the 
reporting of compliance monitoring and enforcement information, along 
with Subpart Q-Reports in 40 CFR 51: Sections 51.324(a) and (b), and 
51.327.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of industrial, commercial, or 
institutional boilers.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, Subpart 
JJJJJJ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 96,985 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, biennially, semiannually and 
annually.
    Annual estimated burden: 1,656,984 hours.
    Annual estimated cost: $280.4 million, includes $125.5 million 
annualized capital or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is a projected increase in burden due 
to continued growth rates for certain subcategories of equipment 
subject to the standard.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
