Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment decrease in the respondent and Agency labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The decrease occurred because all sources have met the initial compliance requirement, and therefore, will not incur burden associated with initial notification and performance test during the three-year period of this ICR. The decrease also resulted from an update in the respondent universe from 132 to 123 major source facilities. The estimate was obtained from EPA's non-CBI Component 1 Section 114 ICR database and is based on 2010 data. However, there is an overall increase in respondent labor costs due to an adjustment in labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates in calculating all costs. There is also an increase in the total O&M costs due to an update in the estimated number of sources.
