ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501

et seq.), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request

(ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR describes the nature

of the information collection and its expected cost and burden; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 29, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information, or to obtain

a copy of this ICR, contact Sandy Farmer at 202-260-2740.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Office of Air and Radiation

Title: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Gas

Turbines (Subpart GG)-Information Requirements (EPA ICR # 1071.05; OMB

# 2060-0028). This is a request for renewal of a currently approved

information collection.

Abstract: Owners or operators of stationary gas turbines must

notify EPA or the State regulatory authority of construction,

modification, startup, shutdown, malfunction, and the date and results

of the initial performance test. Owners or operators using water

injection to control nitrogen oxide must install a continuous

monitoring system (CMS) to record fuel consumption and the fuel to

water ratio, and must notify EPA or the regulatory authority of the

date of demonstration of the CMS. They must keep records of the sulfur

and nitrogen content of the fuel used. Owners or operators must submit

semiannual reports of excess sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide

emissions and of monitoring system performance. The notifications and

reports enable EPA or the delegated authority to determine that best

demonstrated technology is installed and properly operated and

maintained and to schedule inspections.

Burden Statement: The public reporting burden for this collection

of information is estimated to average 16 hours per response for

reporting, and 91 hours per recordkeeper annually. This estimate

includes the time needed to review instructions, search existing data

sources, gather the data needed and review the collection of

information.

Respondents: Owners or operators of stationary gas turbines.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 475.

Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 2.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 58,924 hours.

Frequency of Collection: Semiannually and on occasion.

Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of

the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the

burden, to:
