Short Statement: The adjustment decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources because of recent known facility closures. There is a slight increase in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs due to O&M costs being updated from $2009 to $2023 using the CEPCI Index. There are no capital costs associated with this information collection. The overall result is a decrease in burden hours and an increase in industry costs.
