hours for an estimated 200,000
appliance owners/operators who choose
to determine the appliance’s full charge
using a range of possible values.
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; 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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 663,669.
Frequency of response: Reporting
requirements under this rulemaking are
primarily required on an annual basis,
with the exception of technician testing
organizations that are required to rep ort
biannually. The frequency of
recordkeeping requirements under this
rulemaking vary depending upon the
actions of the respondent but are
generally required on a transactional
basis.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
2,404,913 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$96,364,851. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $96,364,851 and an
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment costs.
Are there changes in the estimates from
the last approval?
There is no increase of hours in the
total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This is due
to the fact that there have been no
changes in any program requirement, no
changes in EPA’s estimates of the time
required to submit reports and maintain
records, and no changes in EPA’s
estimates of the overall number of
respondents. However, due to a
correction of miscalculated estimates in
the ICR currently approved by OMB,
there is a change in the estimated total
number of potential respondents from
that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. There is also an
increase of $8,345,044 in the estimated
total annual cost as a result of changes
in EPA’s estimates of labor rates.
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

Title: NSPS for Electric Utility Steam
Generating Units (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1053.10, OMB Control Number 2060–
0023.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on January 31, 2011. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is
pending at OMB. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The OMB control numbers for the EPA
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
and displayed either by publication in
the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control
numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The affected entities are
subject to the General Provisions of the
NESHAP at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60,
subpart Da. Owners or operators of the
affected facilities must submit a onetime-only report of any physical or
operational changes, initial performance
tests, and periodic reports and results.
Owners or operators are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are
required semiannually.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 96 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
PO 00000

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:
Owners or operators of electric utility
steam generating units.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
677.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
quarterly and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
160,839.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$27,445,813, which includes
$15,090,813 in labor costs, $2,200,000
in capital/startup costs, and $10,155,000
in operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There are
no changes in either the labor hours or
in the capital/startup and operation and
maintenance costs in this 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 industry is
very low, negative, or non-existent.
The increase in labor cost to both
Respondents and the Agency is due to
labor rate adjustments that reflect the
most recent available estimates.

Title: NSPS for Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1053.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0023.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2011.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for the EPA
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes,
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Da.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time-
only report of any physical or operational changes, initial performance
tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is
inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 96
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: Owners or operators of electric
utility steam generating units.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 677.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 160,839.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $27,445,813, which includes
$15,090,813 in labor costs, $2,200,000 in capital/startup costs, and
$10,155,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There are no changes in either the labor
hours or in the capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs in
this 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 industry is
very low, negative, or non-existent.
The increase in labor cost to both Respondents and the Agency is
due to labor rate adjustments that reflect the most recent available
