Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is no increase in the number of affected facilities, or the number of responses compared to the previous ICR. There is, however, an increase in the estimated hours, and labor burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This change in burden has occurred because this renewal ICR is being combined with EPA ICR number 2307.02, which resulted in an increase in burden hours and cost. The combining of the previous ICR with EPA ICR number 2307.02, has resulted in an increase in capital/startup vs. O&M costs.
