Short Statement:
There is a change in the total estimated respondent and Agency burden and cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change from the most recently approved ICR is due to several reasons. First, the previous ICR included contractor labor costs associated with annual stack testing and continuous parameter monitoring as a respondent burden. Since the contractor labor costs apply solely to O&M activities, we have revised the ICR to reflect these as O&M costs, resulting in an apparent decrease in the total respondent labor burden. Second, this ICR revises the number of respondents based on more recent information obtained from a 2011 Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) conducted by EPA. The previous ICR estimated 97 existing sources were subject to the standard; however, the RIA indicates there are approximately 90 existing sources. This ICR reflects the most recent information obtained from the 2011 RIA, and contributes to the apparent decrease in the respondent and Agency labor burdens. Finally, there is a slight increase in Agency burden costs from the most recently approved ICR 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. There is an apparent increase in the O&M costs as compared to the previous ICR. As described above, the previous ICR included contractor labor costs associated with annual stack testing and continuous parameter monitoring as a respondent burden. The revision to reflect these activities as O&M costs resulted in the apparent increase of the total O&M cost.
