Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 61, subpart M.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart M). Estimated number of respondents: 9,603 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 292,050 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change is due to an increase in the asbestos demolition and renovation operations each year; it is not due to any program changes. We have updated respondent and Agency burdens to reflect EPA’s current estimates of sources subject to the rule. We have also updated respondent and Agency labor rates, which were referenced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and OPM, respectively. During the preparation of this ICR, EPA identified several discrepancies related to rule reporting/recordkeeping requirements and associated burdens. We have updated the respondent and Agency burden tables accordingly in order to reconcile the discrepancies. For example, the previous ICR did not correctly reflect the number of demolition/renovation contractors that will participate in refresher training. The revisions did not result in a substantial burden change, as the average reporting and recordkeeping burden hours per response in this ICR is equal to that of the previous ICR.
