The affected entities are subject to
the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR
part 63, subpart T. Owners or operators of the affected facilities
must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic
reports and results. Owners or operators are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup,
shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility,
or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative.
Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
There is an apparent increase
in burden hours for the respondent and the Agency as compared to
the previous ICR due to burden calculation revisions. The
calculations presented in the previous ICR assumed that total
respondent hours per year associated with each burden item included
technical, managerial, and clerical labor. The previous ICR then
back-calculated technical, managerial, and clerical labor hours as
being 85, 5, and 10 percent, respectively, of the total hours. To
be consistent with the estimation methodology used in other ICRs,
this ICR considers total respondent hours to include only technical
labor, and that managerial and clerical hours account for an
additional 5 and 10 percent, respectively, of those technical labor
hours. Additionally, there is an adjustment increase in the
respondent labor estimates associated with semiannual and quarterly
reporting. The previous ICR estimated labor burdens for one
semiannual report and three quarterly reports per year. We have
revised the calculations to account for the burden associated with
two semiannual and four quarterly reports per year. There is also
an increase in the respondent cost as compared to the most recently
approved ICR due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR
references the most recent labor rates from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. There is a decrease in the Agency cost due to the
correction of a calculation error that was identified in the
previous ICR. The previous ICR incorrectly estimated Agency costs
using civilian labor rates, which resulted in an overestimated
total Agency cost. This ICR corrects this discrepancy by using
current labor rates from the Office of Personnel Management. There
is also an adjustment increase in the estimated number of responses
due to a correction. The previous ICR did not include annual
compliance reports in calculating the number of responses. This ICR
corrects the error, which results in an increase of 1,180
responses. There is a decrease of $200 in total O&M costs in
this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. The previous ICR
calculated an O&M cost of $1,014,800, but rounded the estimate
to the nearest thousand ($1,015,000). This ICR presents a more
accurate estimate; there are no actual changes to the O&M
costs.
