Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of magnetic tape manufacturing operations. Estimated Number of Respondents: 6. Frequency of Response: Initially, on occasion, semiannually, quarterly. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,395. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $264,722, which includes $11,000 annualized capital cost, $36,000 O&M costs, and $217,722 labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours, or cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed during the past three years and are not anticipated to change in the next three years. Second, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative, or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Because there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden to industry. Dated: March 30, 2007. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.
