SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Small Industrial-
Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units (EPA ICR Number 
1564.11, OMB Control Number 2060-0202), to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is

    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the 
General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as for the 
specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Dc. This includes 
submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic 
reports and results, and maintaining 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. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance 
with these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of small 
industrial-commercial-institutional steam generators with maximum 
design heat input capacity of 29 megawatts (MW) or less, but greater 
than or equal to 2.9 MW.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart Dc).
    Estimated number of respondents: 323 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 219,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $38,300,000 (per year), which includes 
$12,600,000 in annualized capital/setup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
respondent burden and O&M cost from the most-recently approved ICR due 
to an increase in the number of respondents. This ICR assumes an 
industry growth rate of 11 respondents per year, or an increase of 33 
respondents, since the last ICR renewal period, which results in an 
increase in burden and the number of responses submitted. The industry 
growth also results in an increase in O&M costs. This ICR also 
maintains a continuous growth rate of 11 respondents per year over the 
next three years. Because the number of new sources anticipated over 
the next three years has not changed, there is no increase in the 
anticipated capital costs reflected in this ICR.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
