IC14–5–000 COMMISSION INFORMATION
COLLECTION ACTIVITIES (FERC–725D);
COMMENT REQUEST; EXTENSION (February 21,
2014)) with a burden of 138,979 hours. Staff
estimates that the PC burden under FAC–010–3
from that estimate is 10 percent of the total or
13,898 hours. FERC staff estimates that industry
costs for salary plus benefits are similar to
Commission costs. The FERC 2021 average salary
plus benefits for one FERC full-time equivalent
(FTE) is $180,703/year (or $87.00/hour) posted by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Utilities sector
(available at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/

5 In Docket No. RM13–8–000 FERC 725D OMB
Control: From 1902–0247 for the FAC–010–2.1
Requirement R5 burden of 1,600hrs should be
retired with full retirement of FAC–010–3.
6 The total of manhours associated FAC–010–3
equals the sum of 13,898 hrs. + 1,600 hrs. = 15,498
hrs.
7 Proposed revision is a one-time change to align
updated terminology in the NERC Standards.
8 Proposed revision adds burden to the RC only.
9 The removal of the PC from PRC–002–3 is a onetime reduction in burden. Eastern and ERCOT
interconnection impacted.
10 Proposed revision adds burden to the PA/PC
only and is a one-time change to align updated

11 Proposed revision adds burden to the PA/PC

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Fossil Fuel Fired Steam Generating
Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart D) apply
to each fossil fuel fired steam generating
unit with heat input rate of 73
megawatts (MW) (250 MMbtu/hr) or
more, which commenced construction,
reconstruction, or modification after
August 17, 1971. Subpart D regulations
apply to both electric utility and
industrial boilers. This regulation was
supplanted by NSPS Subpart Da for
electric utility steam generating units in
1978, and by NSPS Subpart Db for
industrial-institutional-commercial
boilers in 1986. In general, all NSPS
standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports
by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining
compliance, and are required of all
affected facilities subject to NSPS.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Owners and operators of fossil fuel fired
steam generating units.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart D).
Estimated number of respondents:
660 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 71,500 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $18,500,000 (per
year), which includes $9,900,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This is due to two
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
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 this industry is very low or nonexistent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden. Since
there are no changes in the regulatory
requirements and there is no significant
industry growth, there are also no
changes in the capital/startup or
operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Pressure Sensitive Tape and Label
Surface Coating Operations (40 CFR part
60 subpart RR) were proposed on
December 30, 1980, and promulgated on
October 18, 1983, and amended on
October 17, 2000. These regulations
apply to existing facilities and new
facilities with coating lines used in the
manufacture of pressure sensitive tape
and label materials. Existing facilities
and new facilities are both subject to
these regulations, except those facilities
that input 45 mega grams (Mgs) of
volatile organic compounds (VOC) or
less per 12-month period. New facilities
include those that commenced
construction, modification or
reconstruction after the date of proposal.
This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60,
subpart RR.
