Download as PDF 59286 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 202 / Friday, October 19, 2007 / Notices Estimated No. of Respondents: 25,312. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 402,749 hours. Estimated Total Annual Costs: $14,980,583. Changes in Burden Estimates: This request reflects a net decrease of 9,494 hours (from 412,243 hours to 402,749 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory. This net decrease principally reflects EPA’s correction of certain training burdens that results from correctly annualizing the training requirement over five years rather than over a three-year period. The Supporting Statement provides details on the change in burden estimate. The change is an adjustment. Dated: October 15, 2007. Sara Hisel-McCoy, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
