emissions, participating in the annual
auctions, completing annual compliance
certifications, participating in the Opt-in

information collection is mandatory
under 40 CFR parts 72—78. Some parts
of it are voluntary or to obtain a benefit,
such as participation in the annual
auctions under 40 CFR part 73, subpart
E. An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is

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
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; 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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 1,450.
Frequency of response: Varies by task.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 12.

1,600,807 hours.

$256,342,000. This includes an
estimated burden cost of $84,373,000
and an estimated cost of $171,969,000
for capital investment or maintenance
and operational costs.
