Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase in burden for both the respondents and the Agency due to an adjustment. This increase is not due to any program changes. The previous ICR assumed the per-respondent burden hour for each activity is inclusive of all technical, managerial, and clerical hours. This ICR assumes the per-respondent burden hour includes technical hours only, and that managerial and clerical hours are additional 5 and 10 percent of technical hours, respectively. In addition, this ICR uses updated labors rates available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs. This results in an adjustment increase in both labor hours and costs. Additionally, there is a decrease in the estimated number of responses due to a correction. The previous ICR assumed that each respondent would have to submit annual, semiannual, and quarterly reports, or a total of seven reports per year, which is inconsistent with the assumptions used to calculate respondent reporting burden. This ICR corrects the number of responses and clarifies that quarterly reports are only required if there are excess emissions.
