Short Statement: The changes in the labor hours or cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR are due to adjustments resulting from the rule becoming effective this year. We have assumed that since the effective date of the rule passed, sources are already in compliance with the initial requirements of the rule; and have commenced to conduct periodic scrap inspections and submit periodic reports. This will result in more labor hours to implement the rule required activities and submit reports, as well as an increased cost for operation and maintenance of continuous monitoring equipment.
