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 EE. 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.
The increase in burden from the
most recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment in labor rates
and updated assumptions used to estimate technical hours per year.
This ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics to calculate burden costs. In addition to updated labor
rates, there is an update to the assumptions used to estimate
technical hours per year for the calculated burden costs. In the
previous ICR, it was assumed that the per respondent burden hour
for each activity accounts for technical, managerial, and clerical
hours. In order to have consistency in the burden calculations in
the ICR renewal process, this ICR assumes the per respondent burden
hour accounts for technical hours only. This results in a slight
increase in burden hours and costs for both the respondents and the
Agency.
