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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment increase in the overall burden in this ICR when compared to the previous ICR. This is due to a correction from 135 in the previous ICR to 149 in this ICR renewal in the estimated number of petroleum refineries subject to the NSPS. This ICR references the most recently available industry information from the Refinery Sector Rule reconsideration and is consistent with the source count for NSPS Subpart J for petroleum refineries. In addition, this ICR assumes all sources will take time to re-familiarize with the regulation each year.
