ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2177.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0582. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2013. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKKK. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification report, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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 also required semiannually. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 38 hours per [[Page 94]] response. ``Burden'' means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners and operators of stationary combustion turbines. Estimated Number of Respondents: 448. Frequency of Response: Semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 44,394. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $4,298,616, which includes $4,298,616 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and no operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden hours and costs for the respondents and the Agency from the most recently approved ICR. It should be noted that the increase is not due to any program changes. The increase is due to an adjustment in labor rates and in the number of new or modified sources. This ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs. Additionally, this ICR assumes the respondent universe subject to the regulation has continued to grow at a constant rate after the rule has been fully implemented.
