Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the general provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, as well as the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart D. 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: Fossil fuel fired steam generating units. Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart D). Estimated number of respondents: 660 (total). Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 71,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $17,100,000 (per year), which includes $9,900,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a small increase in the respondent labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to assuming all existing sources will have to re-familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. This also results in an increase in labor costs for the respondents. In, addition there is a small increase in the Agency labor costs due to an increase in labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs. There is also an increase is Agency labor hours this is not due to program changes; rather, the changes occurred because we are rounding total values in this ICR to three significant figures.
