Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in burden cost is due to these four reasons. First, it is estimated that 20 new kilns are projected to become subject to subpart F in the next 5 years. Second, new standards in subpart F require additional monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. Third, the analysis for this ICR includes current rates for management, technical, and clerical staff. And fourth, Method 5 and initial CEMS performance testing were calculated as a capital cost because it is likely to be conducted by a contractor. Overall, these changes result in an increase in hourly burden and in increase in capital costs.
