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. These notifications, reports, 

and records are essential in determining 

compliance with 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart LL. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Metallic mineral processing plants. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart LL). 

Estimated number of respondents: 29 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 3,350 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $416,000 (per 

year), which includes $18,900 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance 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. This increase is not 

due to any program changes. The 

adjustment increase in burden from the 

most recently-approved ICR is primarily 

due to a more accurate estimate of 

existing sources, which is based more 

recent information from EPA’s 

Enforcement and Compliance History 

Online database. Additionally, EPA 

increased the person-hours per 

occurrence for familiarization with rule 

requirements; records of startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction; and time to 

train personnel based on comments 

received from industry consultations. 

The increase in operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs as calculated 

in section 6(b)(iii), compared with the 

costs in the previous ICR, is due the 

increase in the estimate of existing 

sources.

Abstract: Manufacturers of wood 

heaters and testing laboratories and 

third-party certifiers are required to 

comply with reporting and record 

keeping requirements for the General 

Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), 

as well as for the applicable specific 

standards in 40 CFR part 60 Subpart 

AAA. This includes submitting initial 

notifications, performance tests and 

periodic reports and results, and 

maintaining records. These reports are 

used by EPA to determine compliance 

with these standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Manufacturers of wood heating 

appliances, testing laboratories, thirdparty certifiers. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

AAA). 

Estimated number of respondents: 62 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Annually, 

biennially, every five years. 

Total estimated burden: 4,380 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,180,000 (per 

year), which includes $657,000 in 

annualized capital startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. This is due to 

several considerations. Among other 

considerations, the number of 

manufacturers and the number of 

certified woodstove model lines have 

both increased since the previous ICR.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 18 / Thursday, January 27, 2022 / Notices 4235 

These two factors have contributed to an 

increase in respondents, labor burden, 

and in the number of responses. 

The growth rate for manufacturers 

entering this industry has slowed since 

the previous ICR, and no new 

respondents are expected during the 

three-year period of this ICR. The 

number of existing testing laboratories 

and third-party certifiers has remained 

constant since the previous ICR. The 

capital/startup costs have decreased 

since the previous ICR, which occurred 

during a period when manufacturers 

were introducing approximately 30 new 

model lines each year to comply with 

Step 2 requirements. In this ICR, we 

expect the introduction of new model 

lines to be 15 per year. This results in 

a decrease in capital/startup costs for 

performance testing and new model 

certification. There is an increase in 

operation and maintenance (O&M) costs 

reflecting the increase in model lines 

that are tested as part of the 

manufacturers Quality Assurance 

Program. Also, in this ICR, we have 

reorganized Table 1, Table 2, and the 

Total Annual Responses tables to 

separate requirements for new model 

lines from existing model lines. This 

ICR also reorganizes the Capital/Startup 

vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) 

Costs table to distinguish between 

initial costs for new models and 

operation and maintenance costs for 

existing models. Additionally, this ICR 

adjusts the labor assumptions for the 

‘burden’ associated with manufacturer 

review of QA annual audit reports 

provided by third-party certifiers to 

reflect that audits are anticipated to be 

performed for all of a single 

manufacturer’s model lines in one visit 

and the results of the audits would be 

presented in a single batch or report for 

manufacturer review. Similarly, this ICR 

assumes that third-party certifiers will 

prepare the QA annual audit report on 

a manufacturer, rather than model line, 

basis. Finally, this ICR also adjusts the 

labor assumptions associated with 

recordkeeping requirements for 

manufacturers for test documentation 

and for retention of sealed stoves to 

reflect that the number of model lines 

per manufacturer and the frequency of 

the activity. These adjustments 

minimally reduce burden for these 

activities, however, there remains an 

overall increase in burden.

one-time requirement unless a facility 

becomes subject to the regulations or 

has updated information on the 

hazardous chemicals that were already 

submitted by the facility. EPCRA section 

312 requires owners and operators of
