    Title: NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate 
Fertilizers Production (Renewal)
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1790.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0361
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: 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, subparts AA 
and BB. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit 
initial notification, 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Phosphoric acid manufacturing and 
phosphate fertilizers production facilities
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 12
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and 
annually
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,765
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $181,581, which includes $170,949 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $10,632 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden for both 
the respondents and the Agency due to an adjustment. The previous ICR 
assumed the per-respondent burden hour for each activity is inclusive 
of all technical, managerial, and clerical hours. This ICR assumes the 
per-respondent burden hour includes technical hours only, and that 
managerial and clerical hours are additional 5 and 10 percent of 
technical hours, respectively. In addition, this ICR uses updated 
labors rates available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate 
burden costs, which results in an adjustment increase in both labor 
hours and costs.
    Additionally, there is a decrease in the estimated number of 
responses due to a correction. The previous ICR assumed that each 
respondent would have to submit annual, semiannual, and quarterly 
reports, or a total of seven reports per year, which is inconsistent 
with the assumptions used to calculate respondent reporting burden. 
This ICR corrects the number of responses and clarifies that quarterly 
reports are only required if there are excess emissions.
