# Note: The average annual number of respondents is based on the following: In the first year regulated facilities must check the EPA website, and some may incur savings associated with paper mailings. In the second year, some regulated facilities must dual report to EPA and some may incur savings associated with paper mailings. In the third year, fewer regulated facilities must dual report to EPA and a greater number incur savings associated with paper mailings.
