Short Statement: There is a decrease of 148 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. These changes are due to the following adjustments: 1) the number of sources subject to each Subpart was revised to reflect more recent information obtained through the Agency's research within the MWC sector; 2) the number of sources required to submit initial notification and site analysis was corrected to reflect this activity as a burden only for new sources, rather than for existing sources; 3) several mathematical errors in calculating burden costs were corrected; and 4) all estimates were updated using more recent labor rates.
