Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR Part 60, 
Subpart Dc) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR Number 1564.09, OMB Control Number 
2060-0202), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501

a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days 
for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, 
including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An Agency may 
not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before January 10, 
2014.

    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), and any changes 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Dc. 
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time-
only report of any physical or operational changes, initial performance 
tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also 
required to 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. Reports are required semiannually at a minimum.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of small 
industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart Dc)
    Estimated number of respondents: 268 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually, and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 181,964 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $28,557,971 (per year), includes $10,758,723 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
respondent and Agency burden from the most recently approved ICR due to 
an increase in the number of new or modified sources. This ICR assumes 
an industry growth rate of 11 respondents per year, which results in an 
average increase of 33 respondents since the last ICR renewal period. 
The industry growth also results in an increase in O&M costs. In 
addition, this ICR corrects the number of new sources that are expected 
to use COMS for PM monitoring, which results in an increase in capital 
costs.
