    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with the reporting and record keeping

[[Page 18793]]

requirements for the General Provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, 
as well as for the specific requirements in 40 CFR part 60, subparts T, 
U, V, W and X. 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 for any period 
during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These reports are 
used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Phosphate fertilizer manufacturing 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subparts T, U, V, W, and X).
    Estimated number of respondents: 13 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,390 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $484,000 (per year), which includes $320,000 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) The 
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not 
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth 
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no 
significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in 
the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry 
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup and/or 
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
