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/ naics3_221000.htm). 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 terminology in the NERC Standards. 11 Proposed revision adds burden to the PA/PC only and is a one-time change to align updated terminology in the NERC Standards. 12 Proposed revision adds burden to the TOP only.

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 18:57 Sep 08, 2022 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.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents, which explain in 
detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are available 
in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at

    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 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. 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 this industry is very low or non-existent, 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.
