Abstract: This ICR calculates the burden and costs associated with the NPDES and ELG regulations for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). These regulations regulate land application of manure, litter and wastewater generated at CAFO facilities. The rule requires all facilities defined as a CAFO to apply for a NPDES permit. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average less than 18 hours per response. Burden means the total 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 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are owners and operators of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). Estimated Number of Respondents: 24,080 Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,500,000 hours. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $78,660,000 includes $440,000 for VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:44 Jul 19, 2006 Jkt 208001 capital investment and $8,680,000 for O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: The burden estimate has increased due to growth in the industry and trends towards consolidation into larger facilities. As a result calculations were revised to accommodate this. Dated: July 12, 2006. Sara Hisel McCoy, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.
