    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the 
General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as for the 
specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Dc. This includes 
submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic 
reports and results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and 
duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of 
an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system 
is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance 
with these standards.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Industrial-commercial-institutional 
steam generating units with maximum design heat input capacity of 29 
megawatts (MW) or less, but greater than or equal to 2.9 MW.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart Dc).
    Estimated number of respondents: 301 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 205,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $33,300,000 (per year), which includes 
$11,800,000 for both annualized capital and operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
respondent burden, labor costs, and capital/O&M cost from the most-
recently approved ICR. This increase is not due to any program changes. 
The change in burden and costs is due to an increase in the number of 
new or modified sources. This ICR assumes an industry growth rate of 11 
respondents per year, which results in an increase of 33 respondents 
since the last ICR renewal period. The industry growth also results in 
an increase in O&M costs.
