The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and to the provisions at 40 CFR part 61, subparts L and Y. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a onetime- only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 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 are required quarterly or semiannually at a minimum.
There is an increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR. This increase is not due to any program changes; it is the result of adding the labor burden associated with subpart Y. The most-recently approved ICR only reflected the burden associated with subpart L, while this ICR reflects the total burden associated with subparts L and Y.
For subpart L, note that the labor burden between this ICR and the most recently approved ICR is virtually identical (there is an increase of 1 hour, but it is due to differences in rounding). However, there is an increase in Respondent and Agency burden costs. This increase is due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR references labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate respondent burden costs and references labor rates from OPM to calculate Agency burden costs.
