Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Respondent burden estimates were updated based on recent reporting activity (i.e., reports submitted for the 2020 and 2021 reporting years). This resulted in an overall decrease in the total number of responses compared with the prior ICR, driven by the ODS phaseout. At the same time, total burden hours incurred by respondents increased marginally due to updated assumptions associated with recordkeeping requirements that are more consistent with other ICRs that cover similar recordkeeping activities (e.g., the HFC Phasedown Rule ICR). Finally, costs associated with the transition to electronic reporting were removed from the burden estimates as all stakeholders now submit all reports electronically.
