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; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 663,669. 

Frequency of response: Reporting 

requirements under this rulemaking are 

primarily required on an annual basis, 

with the exception of technician testing 

organizations that are required to rep ort 

biannually. The frequency of 

recordkeeping requirements under this 

rulemaking vary depending upon the 

actions of the respondent but are 

generally required on a transactional 

basis. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

2,404,913 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$96,364,851. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $96,364,851 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is no increase of hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This is due 

to the fact that there have been no 

changes in any program requirement, no 

changes in EPA’s estimates of the time 

required to submit reports and maintain 

records, and no changes in EPA’s 

estimates of the overall number of 

respondents. However, due to a 

correction of miscalculated estimates in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB, 

there is a change in the estimated total 

number of potential respondents from 

that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. There is also an 

increase of $8,345,044 in the estimated 

total annual cost as a result of changes 

in EPA’s estimates of labor rates. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR

Title: NSPS for Electric Utility Steam 

Generating Units (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1053.10, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0023. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on January 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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. 

The OMB control numbers for the EPA 

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

and displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

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, 

subpart Da. Owners or operators of the 

affected facilities must submit a onetime-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 96 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: 

Owners or operators of electric utility 

steam generating units. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

677. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

quarterly and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

160,839. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$27,445,813, which includes 

$15,090,813 in labor costs, $2,200,000 

in capital/startup costs, and $10,155,000 

in operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There are 

no changes in either the labor hours or 

in the capital/startup and operation and 

maintenance costs in this 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 industry is 

very low, negative, or non-existent. 

The increase in labor cost to both 

Respondents and the Agency is due to 

labor rate adjustments that reflect the 

most recent available estimates.
