Short Statement: The burden requested in this ICR results from the associated final rule. It is estimated that 11 new kilns are projected to become subject to subpart F in the next 5 years. New standards in subpart F require additional monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. The analysis for this ICR includes current rates for management, technical, and clerical staff. Initial CEMS performance testing was calculated as a capital cost because it is likely to be conducted by a contractor.
