    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the 
General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as the specific 
requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart F. This includes submitting 
initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and 
results, and maintaining 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. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with 
the standards.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Portland cement plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart F).
    Estimated number of respondents: 95 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 14,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,290,000 (per year), which includes 
$767,000 in annualized capital startup and/or operation and maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a small adjustment decrease in 
the respondent labor hours and the total capital and O&M costs from the 
most-recently approved ICR due to a decrease in the number of 
respondents. Consistent with past ICRs, this ICR uses the most recent 
data from EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program to estimate the 
respondent universe, which shows a decrease of 1 respondent as compared 
to the previous ICR.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
