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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment increase in the respondent burden from the most recently approved ICR. The increase is primarily attributed to correcting an entry error in the number of respondents that record monthly benzene waste concentration data under Table 1, labor item 4(c)(ii). In addition, we have rounded all total values to 3 significant figures. There is also an adjustment increase in the number of responses due to a correction. The previous ICR did not account for quarterly emission reports and notifications of offsite facilities in calculating the number of responses.
