    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subparts 
KKK and LLL. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit 
a one-time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 
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 are required semiannually at a minimum.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of onshore 
natural gas processing plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFFR part 60, 
subparts KKK and LLL).
    Estimated number of respondents: 484 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually, and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 102,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $10,800,000 (per year), includes $68,400 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
estimated labor hours and number of responses as currently identified 
in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The decrease is due to a 
projected decline in the number of sources subject to the regulation, 
as new and modified sources will become subject to NSPS Subpart OOOO. 
We expect on average 27 existing facilities under Subpart KKK and 3 
facilities under Subpart LLL will undergo modifications each year such

[[Page 40579]]

that they will become subject to Subpart OOOO. The burden of NSPS 
Subpart OOOO is accounted for under EPA ICR Number 2437.04 (OMB Control 
Number 2060-0673).

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
