    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NSPS (40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes, or 
additions to these Provisions are specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
NN. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time 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 and operators of phosphate 
rock plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart NN).
    Estimated number of respondents: 15 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,860 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $333,000 (per year), includes $141,000 in 
both annualized capitalstartup and operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The adjustment increase in burden from 
the most recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of 
new sources. This ICR assumes one additional source becomes subject to 
the regulation over the three-year ICR period. This ICR also uses 
updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate 
burden costs.
