et seq.). This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently

requested via the Federal Register (80 FR 32116) on June 5, 2015 during 
a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days 
for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, 
including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An Agency may 
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.

2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the 
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone 
number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit: http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with both reporting and record-keeping requirements for the 
general provisions (40 CFR part 61, subpart A), as well as for the 
requirements in 40 CFR part 61, subpart E. This includes submitting 
initial notification reports, performance tests and periodic reports 
and results, and maintaining 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. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with 
the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Mercury ore processing facilities, 
mercury cell chlor-alkali plants, sludge incineration plants, and 
sludge drying plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, 
subpart E).
    Estimated number of respondents: 107 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 20,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,070,000 (per year). There are no 
annualized capital/startup and operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a small increase in the 
respondent burden due to an adjustment. In this ICR, we assume all 
existing sources will take some time each year to re-familiarize 
themselves with the regulatory requirements. This new assumption 
results in an increase in the labor hours and cost.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
