    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), and any changes 
or additions to the Provisions are specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
VVV. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial 
notification reports, performance tests, and periodic reports and 
results. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of 
the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in 
the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the 
monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required 
semiannually.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of publicly 
owned treatment works.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart VVV).
    Estimated number of respondents: 6 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.

[[Page 54788]]

    Total estimated burden: 17 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,730 (per year), including no annualized 
capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the respondent 
burden from the most recently approved ICR. This increase is not due to 
any program changes. EPA revised the burden calculations to assume that 
all respondents incur a rule familiarization burden annually. 
Previously, EPA assumed that only new sources would incur this burden. 
This change resulted in the burden increase in this ICR.

Acting-Director, Collection Strategies Division.
