    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1717.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0313.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2010. Under

numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations were 
proposed on October 13, 1994, and promulgated on July 1, 1996.
    The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the 
NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to 
the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart DD. 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, 
at a minimum, are required semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 219 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train 
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search 
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and 
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Offsite waste and recovery 
operations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 236.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 155,212.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $14,686,728, which includes 
$14,681,368 in labor costs, $0 in capital/startup costs, and $5,360 in 
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the calculation 
methodology for labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. 
This is due to two considerations: (1) the regulations have not changed 
over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the 
next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the respondents is very 
low, negative or non-existent. There is, however, an apparent increase 
of 906 hours in respondent labor hours, due to a math error in the 
previous ICR.
    Also, there is an increase in both respondent and Agency costs 
resulting from labor rate increases from 2003 to 2009. In this ICR, the 
labor burden and cost calculations in Tables 1 and 2 of this ICR were 
expanded to include managerial and clerical labor rates, and the 
previous ICR only provided a technical labor rate for 2003. This ICR 
has been updated to present the most recent available labor rates for 
each of the three labor categories.
