Short Statement: The previously approved ICR estimated an annual respondent burden of 271,137 hours. This renewal estimates an annual respondent burden of hours, which is a decrease of 231,379 hours. The reason for this decrease is a decrease in the size of the universe, from 105 facilities to 36 facilities. This decrease is due partly to closures of boilers in both permitted and interim status facilities, but is mostly due to a clean up of the data, because previously there had been double-counting of facilities as being both permitted and interim status. The reason for the double-counting was that one facility could have both permitted boilers and non-permitted boilers (i.e., in interim status). Currently, however, there are no boilers in interim status; they are either permitted or they have been closed.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $136,624
