Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 138 / Friday, July 18, 2014 / Notices Estimated number of respondents: 96 (total). Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 14,535 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $2,195,995 (per year), includes $774,234 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the respondent and Agency burden. This is not due to any program changes. The decrease occurred because we have modified the number of existing cement plants from 118 to 96 to reflect the latest industry data collected by the Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. This revision provides a more accurate estimate for the portland cement sector, and results in an overall decrease in burden estimate. Spencer W.

Reports are required semiannually at a minimum. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of primary aluminum reduction plants. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LL). Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 80,023 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $7,918,987 (per year), which includes $91,348 in either annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no significant change in burden in this ICR 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 industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. The apparent decrease of 375 hours in respondent burden is due to a mathematical correction. The previous ICR incorrectly summed the number of recordkeeping hours. In addition, there is a small increase in respondent cost due to an update in labor rates. Spencer W. Clark, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
