When this ICR is renewed, EPA should review the respondent burden, universe, labor rates,
and capital costs and ensure these estimates have been updated. In particular, EPA should verify the universe estimate.

The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
There is an increase in the Agency costs from the most recently approved ICR due to an increase in labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates in calculating all burden costs.
Additionally, there is a decrease in respondent burden, while an increase in the total O&M cost as compared to the previous ICR. The previous ICR included contractor labor costs associated with initial emissions testing and annual stack testing under Table 1, Annual Respondent Burden and Cost. Since the contractor labor costs apply solely to capital/startup and O&M activities, we have revised the ICR to reflect contractor labor costs under their respective capital/startup and O&M activities, and also have updated the associated contractor labor burden rate.
There is also a decrease in capital/startup costs in this ICR as new sources will become subject to the 2013 standard, and will not have burden associated with capital/startup under this NSPS.
