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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase in the total estimated respondent burden and total annual O&M as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This burden increase is due to adjustments EPA has made to account for industry growth that has occurred since the ICR was last approved. EPA has also updated corresponding labor costs to reflect current rates referenced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. EPA has similarly adjusted the Agency labor burden to reflect industry growth over the past three years and has updated labor costs to reflect rates referenced from the Office of Personnel Management. EPA has also revised the respondent burden associated with compressor notifications and storage vessel annual reports. The previous ICR assumed respondents would submit initial notifications for affected centrifugal and reciprocating compressors. These sources, however, are not subject to initial notification requirements, thus we have removed them from the burden calculations. For storage vessels, the previous ICR assumed respondents would complete an individual report for each affected storage vessel. The rule, however, allows respondents to submit a single report for all affected storage vessels at their site. EPA's experience has been that respondents typically consolidate reporting activities in order to reduce the overall reporting burden. For this reason, we have revised the burden calculations to assume each respondent will submit a single report.
