    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Engine Test Cells/Stands (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart PPPPP) apply to either new or reconstructed engine test cells/
stands located at major source facilities that are being used for 
testing internal combustion engines. An engine test cell/stand is any 
apparatus used for testing uninstalled stationary or uninstalled mobile 
(motive) engines. A plant site that is a major source of hazardous air 
pollutant (HAP) emissions emits or has the potential to emit any single 
HAP at a rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year or any 
combination of HAPs at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per 
year. New facilities include those that commenced construction or 
reconstruction after the date of proposal. 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 with 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of engine test 
cells/stands located at major source facilities that are being used for 
testing internal combustion engines.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart PPPPP).
    Estimated number of respondents: 19 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 2,150 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $204,000 (per year), which includes $6,200 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total 
estimated burden, number of responses, and Capital and O&M costs from 
the most-recently approved ICR due to several adjustments. First, based 
on consultations with internal Agency experts, there is an increase in 
the estimated number of new sources. This renewal reflects burden for 
an increase in the total number of sources and incorporates burden for 
one-time requirements for the new source. Second, this renewal includes 
time for each affected facility to review rule requirements each year.
