Changes in Estimates: There is a
decrease of 12,608 hours in total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. The decrease reflects an
adjustment in the number of
respondents from the previous ICR, an
adjustment of labor rates and capital
costs to reflect 2017 dollars, and a
complete re-evaluation of the activities
and costs associated with all subparts of
the GHGRP. This decrease also reflects
the removal of burden hours from
collection of GHG-related data for
mobile sources, which are now captured
in other EPA ICR vehicles including
OMB Control Nos. 2060–0287, 2060–
0292, 2060–0338, 2060–0641, 2060–
