    Abstract: The NESHAP for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations 
were proposed on October 13, 1994, and promulgated on July 1, 1996. The 
affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP 
at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the 
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart DD.
    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: Offsite waste and recovery 
operations.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart DD).
    Estimated number of respondents: 236 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 178,527 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

[[Page 54891]]

    Total estimated cost: $17,467,998 (per year), includes $5,814 in 
either annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most 
recently approved ICR is due to a mathematical correction in labor 
hours and to an increase in labor costs. This ICR uses rounded 
estimates of per-respondent technical hours to calculate both industry 
and agency burden. In addition, this ICR uses updated labor rates from 
the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs.
