    Abstract: The NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional 
Boilers Area Sources (40 CFR part 63 subpart JJJJJJ) fulfills the 
requirements of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), which requires 
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promulgate national 
emission standards for industrial, commercial, and institutional 
boilers. Records and reports required by the NESHAP for industrial, 
commercial, and institutional boilers area sources are necessary to 
enable EPA to identify sources subject to the standards and to ensure 
that these standards are being achieved. Records and reports must be 
maintained at the facility and/or submitted to EPA. All reports are 
sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there 
is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the 
EPA regional office.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of industrial, 
commercial, or institutional boilers.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR Part 63, 
Subpart JJJJJJ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 96,985 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, biennially, semiannually and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,656,984 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $284,902,526 (per year), including 
$125,515,823 annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease in the total 
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The 
change in burden and cost estimates occurred because the standards have 
been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are 
different during initial compliance (new facilities) as compared to the 
on-going compliance, which is reflected in this estimates for this ICR. 
The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with 
initial activities for subject facilities. This includes purchasing 
monitoring equipment and conducting performance tests. This ICR, by in 
large, reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities. 
The overall result is a decrease in both burden hours and costs.
    There is also a decrease in total annual capital/startup and O&M 
costs as compared to the previous ICR. This decrease is attributed to 
the fact that initial compliance with the standards occurred during the 
period of the previous ICR (e.g., monitors were purchased). For the 
next three years, however, fewer monitors will be purchased, but 
existing CEM monitors will have on-going O&M costs.
