Respondents/Affected Entities: Incinerators. Estimated Number of Respondents: 82. Frequency of Response: Initially and occasionally. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 8,393. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $998,858, which includes $793,858 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $205,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There are no changes to the labor hours for the Respondents in this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the respondents is very low, negative or non-existent. However, there is an increase in respondent labor costs due to labor rate increases from the year 2003 to the most recent available labor rate data. Dated: May 7, 2010.
