    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected onshore natural gas 
processing plants 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 specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, 
subparts KKK and LLL. 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. These reports are used by EPA to 
determine compliance with these same standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of onshore 
natural gas processing plants that that commenced construction, 
reconstruction, or modification after January 20, 1984, and on or 
before August 23, 2011.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart KKK and 40 CFR part 60, subpart LLL).
    Estimated number of respondents: 362 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 67,500 hours per year. Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: Total labor costs are $7,990,000 (per year), 
which includes $68,400 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & 
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The 
change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the number of 
respondents subject to these requirements has decreased as those 
respondents modify their sources and become subject to another NSPS 
standard. As sources subject to NSPS Subparts KKK and LLL modify, they 
become subject to NSPS Subpart OOOOa and cease being subject to NSPS 
Subparts KKK and LLL. There is also a decrease in the estimated number 
of respondents subject to NSPS Subpart LLL. This is due to a re-
examination of the Agency's ECHO database of sources subject to Subpart 
LLL with a NAICS code of 211130 (natural gas extraction) and reporting 
SO2 emissions.
