When this ICR is
renewed, EPA should review the respondent burden, universe, labor
rates, and capital costs and ensure these estimates have been
updated.

The affected entities are subject to
the General Provisions of the Emission Guidelines at 40 CFR part
60, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions
specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD. 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 a change in the total
estimated respondent and Agency burden and cost as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change
from the most recently approved ICR is due to several reasons.
First, the previous ICR included contractor labor costs associated
with annual stack testing and continuous parameter monitoring as a
respondent burden. Since the contractor labor costs apply solely to
O&M activities, we have revised the ICR to reflect these as
O&M costs, resulting in an apparent decrease in the total
respondent labor burden. Second, this ICR revises the number of
respondents based on more recent information obtained from a 2011
Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) conducted by EPA. The previous ICR
estimated 97 existing sources were subject to the standard;
however, the RIA indicates there are approximately 90 existing
sources. This ICR reflects the most recent information obtained
from the 2011 RIA, and contributes to the apparent decrease in the
respondent and Agency labor burdens. Finally, there is a slight
increase in Agency burden costs from the most recently approved ICR
due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR references labor
rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate respondent
burden costs and references labor rates from OPM to calculate
Agency burden costs. There is an apparent increase in the O&M
costs as compared to the previous ICR. As described above, the
previous ICR included contractor labor costs associated with annual
stack testing and continuous parameter monitoring as a respondent
burden. The revision to reflect these activities as O&M costs
resulted in the apparent increase of the total O&M cost.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
