OMB Control No. 2060-0161 to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act 
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq). This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which

    Abstract: Manufacturers and accredited laboratories are required to 
make several one-time and periodic reports necessary for the 
implementation and enforcement of the rule. Also, laboratories, 
manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are required to retain 
certain records.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: New residential wood heaters.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart AAA)
    Estimated number of respondents: 947 (total).
    Frequency of response: Occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 11,749 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,885,287 (per year), includes $1,736,075 in 
both annualized capital/startup and operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total 
estimated respondent and Agency burdens as currently identified in the 
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change in burdens from the most 
recently-approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of sources 
subject to the standard, and is not due to any program changes. The 
number of sources has been increased in this ICR to reflect more 
current information obtained during development of proposed revisions 
to the NSPS.
    There is also an increase in both respondent and Agency burden 
costs

[[Page 70040]]

from the most-recently approved ICR due to the use of updated labor 
rates. This ICR references labor rates from the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics to calculate respondent burden costs, and references labor 
rates from OPM to calculate Agency burden costs.
    There is an increase in both capital/startup and O&M costs as 
compared to the previous ICR; however, this change also is not due to 
any program changes. Similar to the respondent burden adjustments, the 
change is due to the increased number of sources estimated to be 
subject to the standard, and is not due to any program changes.
