Title: NSPS for Fossil Fuel Fired 

Steam Generating Units(Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1052.10, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0026. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on January 31, 2013. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

either conduct or sponsor the collection 

of information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and 

any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart D. Owners or operators of the 

affected facilities must make an initial 

notification report, performance tests, 

periodic reports, and 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 also 

required semiannually. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 54 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 fossil fuel fired 

steam generating units. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

660. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

70,777. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$16,753,220, which includes $6,853,220 

in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, 

and $9,900,000 in operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in respondent burden from the 

most recently approved ICR due to an 

adjustment of respondent labor hours. 

The previous ICR assumed that labor 

hours accounted for all technical, 

managerial, and clerical hours. To be 

consistent with the estimation 

methodology used in other ICRs, this 

ICR assumes that labor hours account 

for technical hours only. Clerical and 

managerial hours require additional 

time, and equal 10 and 5 percent of 

technical hours, respectively. This ICR 

updates these labor hours and their 

associated labor rates, resulting in an 

increase of total labor costs.

Title: NSPS for Industrial/ 

Commercial/Institutional Steam 

Generating Units (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1088.13, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0072. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on January 31, 2013. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and 

any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart Db. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must make an initial 

notification report, performance tests, 

periodic reports, and 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 also 

required semiannually. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 388 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 industrial/ 

commercial/institutional steam 

generating units with a heat input 

capacity from fuels combusted in the 

unit of greater than 29 MW (100 million 

Btu/hour). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,727. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, quarterly and 

semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,607,368. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$190,544,313, which includes 

$155,639,313 in labor costs, $9,000,000 

in capital/startup costs, and $25,905,000 

in operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

adjustment increase in the total 

estimated burden as currently identified 

in the OMB Inventory of Approved 

Burdens. This increase is not due to any 

program changes. The estimated number 

of respondents has been adjusted to 

account for industry growth that has 

occurred since the most recent ICR was 

approved and to correct an 

inconsistency in the previous ICR 

estimate. Specifically, this ICR corrects 

the estimated number of respondents to 

be consistent with the supporting 

rationale. Both adjustments resulted in 

an increased number of existing sources 

and associated respondent and Agency 

labor hours. Also, this ICR makes 

adjustments to respondent and Agency 

labor hours in order to make the 

estimation methodology consistent with 

that of other ICRs. The previous ICR 

assumed that the per-respondent labor 

hours for each burden activity 

accounted for all technical, managerial, 

and clerical hours. This ICR assumes 

that labor hours account for technical 

hours only, and that clerical and 

managerial hours require an additional 

10 and 5 percent of technical hours, 

respectively. Additionally, this ICR 

calculates burden costs using the most 

recent labor rates. 

There is an increase in respondent 

Operations and Maintenance costs 

compared to the costs in the previous 

ICR. This increase is also due to 

industry growth and reflects O&M costs 

that will be incurred by both existing 

facilities and new facilities since the 

most recent ICR.
