or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Taconite iron ore processing plants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 8. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

651. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,012,546, which includes $754,946 in 

labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and 

$257,600 in operation and maintenance 

(O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 243 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is not due to any 

program changes. The change in the 

burden and cost estimates occurred due 

to an incorrect calculation of the 

number of responses in the previous 

ICR. The existing eight respondents are 

subject to performance testing twice 

every five years, or 3.2 respondents per 

year and was changed from 1.6 

respondents per year. The increase in 

labor costs was also due to an increase 

in labor rates.
