update their previous submission earlier
to comply with a rule requirement.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: one.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
93,982 hours including burden for
implementing agencies.
Estimated total annual costs:
$9,785,371.00. There are no capital or
operating and maintenance costs
associated with this ICR since all
sources are required to submit RMPs online using the new electronic reporting
system, RMP e*submit.
There is a decrease of 4,617 hours for
all sources and states from the previous
ICR. There are two primary reasons for
this decrease in burden. First, as
explained in section 1 of the supporting
statement for this ICR renewal (the
supporting statement is available at
https://www.regulations.gov), the burden
varies from ICR to ICR due to different
compliance deadlines based on the
sources’ RMP re-submission deadlines
and other regulatory deadlines.
Therefore, the burden increases or
decreases each year depending on how
many sources have to submit their RMP
and comply with certain prevention
program requirements. Second, the
number of sources subject to the
regulations is lower than in the previous
ICR (16,634 in the previous ICR and
13,718 sources in this ICR period).
What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
