This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining 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.

There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden and labor costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change in burden occurred due to a program change. Beginning in 2015, this rule requires annual reporting for emergency stationary SI ICE that operate under the conditions at §60.4243(d)(3)(i). This ICR includes burden estimates for the annual reporting requirements. In addition to the program change the burden in this ICR has increased due to an increase in the estimated number of respondents. The number of sources has increased since the last ICR to account for industry growth in the past three years.
