acid
plant,
each
granular

phosphate
plant,
and
each
triple

plant,
having
a
design
capacity
of
more
than
15

in
the
operation
of

device
which
continuously
measures
and
permanently
records
the
total
pressure

the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a

and
retain
the

to,
a

if
applicable.
Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
46
hours
per
response.

time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing

adjust
the
existing

any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
Respondents/
Affected
Entities:
Phosphate
Fertilizer
Industry.
Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
13.
Frequency
of
Response:
Initial
and
Semiannual.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
1,194.
Estimated
Total
Annualized
Operations
and

Cost:
$
320,000.
Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
an
increase
of
231

and
$
320,000
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
approved
ICR
burdens.
This
is
due
to
an
increase
in
the
number
of
sources
and
a
reconsideration
of
the
operation
and
maintenance
costs
for
the
required
continuous
emission
monitors.
