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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment decrease in the respondent and Agency burden. This is not due to any program changes. The decrease occurred because we have modified the number of existing cement plants from 118 to 96 to reflect the latest industry data collected by the Agency's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. This revision provides a more accurate estimate for the Portland cement sector, and results in an overall decrease in burden estimate.
