Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
No
Burden Increase Due to:
Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
Yes
Burden Reduction Due to:
Changing Regulations
Short Statement:
The change in the burden from the previously approved estimates reflects the burden associated with proposed amendments to 40 CFR part 63, subpart SSSSS as well as a change in the number of respondents for this source category. The increase in Annual Cost burden is due to the proposed performance testing and monitoring that would be required to demonstrate compliance with new emission limits for certain sources. While there were also increases in the number of responses per respondent and the annual time burden due to the proposed amendments, these increases were more than offset by the fact that the number of respondents has decreased from eight to three. The proposed amendments to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction provisions and the addition of electronic reporting are not expected to impose burden beyond the previously approved time and cost burden.
