The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart IIII. 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 respondent labor hours from the previous ICR. This is not due to any program changes. The increase is due to a mathematical correction in the per-respondent technical labor hours associated with burden item 4(d) in Table 1. Additionally, there is also an increase in the respondent and Agency costs due to use of updated labor rates. This ICR references recent labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate respondent burden costs, and references recent labor rates from OPM to calculate Agency burden costs.
