Prior to
submission of a request to extend this collection, the Agency
should reassess estimates of burden taking into account recent
experience with the program. In particular, the Agency should
verify estimates of the number of affected entities and individual
models for which information must be submitted.

Manufacturers and accredited
laboratories are required to make several one-time and periodic
reports necessary for the implementation and enforcement of the
rule. Also, laboratories, manufacturers, distributors, and
retailers are required to retain certain records.
There is an increase in the
total estimated respondent and Agency burdens as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change in
burdens from the most- recently approved ICR is due to an increase
in the number of sources subject to the standard, and is not due to
any program changes. The number of sources has been increased in
this ICR to reflect more current information obtained during
development of proposed revisions to the NSPS. There is also an
increase in respondent and 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 increase in both
capital/startup and O&M costs as compared to the previous ICR.
This change also is not due to any program changes. Similar to the
respondent burden adjustments, the change is due to the increased
number of sources estimated to be subject to the standard, and is
not due to any program changes.
