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 increase in the respondent burden from the most recently approved ICR. This increase is not due to any program changes. The increase is due to a correction in respondent burden activity associated with NSPS Subpart S. The previous ICR did not include the time required to prepare semiannual reports for the respondents. This correction results in an increase in respondent burden hours, costs, and the total number of responses. There is also an increase in the respondent labor costs due to an update in labor rates. Further, there is an overall decrease in O&M costs due to an update in the number of sources. In this ICR, we estimate that two ferroalloy facilities are subject to Subpart Z and one primary lead facility is subject to subpart R; however, the affected sintering unit and blast furnace at this primary lead facility will be shutdown and will no longer have burden associated with the standard.
