    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 63, subpart A, as well as for the 
specific requirements at 40 CFR part 63, subpart IIIII. 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 these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Mercury cell chlor-alkali plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart IIIII).
    Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,760 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $394,000 (per year), which includes in 
$16,400 annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a small adjustment increase in 
the respondent labor hours as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. The increase is due to a change in assumption. In 
this ICR, we assume all existing sources will take some time each year 
to re-familiarize themselves with the regulatory requirements.

Acting-Director, Collection Strategies Division.
