The Agency is requesting a 36
hour adjustment decrease (from 952 hours to 916 burden hours). The
adjustment is a result of a 25% decline in the number of butadiene
monomer of facilities (from 12 facilities to 9 facilities). Also,
the Agency is increasing the cost from $95,248 to $105,912, a total
cost increase of $10,664. The cost increase is due to a 12.8%
increase in the price of professional medical services from 2008 to
2011.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
