Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a decrease in burden from the OMB Inventory of Approved Burden. This change is attributed to a decrease in the number of affected onshore gas processing facilities subject to subparts KKK and LLL, which was due to the impact of a new NSPS rule, subpart OOOO. This ICR merges EPA ICR Numbers 1086.09 and 2438.02 in order to resolve inconsistencies with the required monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements under these rules, as well as update the number of existing respondents, resulting from the issuing of the new subpart OOOO. New and modified sources after August 23, 2011, subject to subparts KKK and LLL will report under subpart OOOO, and therefore, this ICR only includes burden for existing respondent subject the subparts KKK and LLL. It should be noted that the wage rates in this ICR have been updated resulting in an increase in the labor cost.
