information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Coal- and Oil-Fired 
Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUUU) 
(Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 2137.07, OMB Control No. 2060-0567) to the

    Abstract: Potential respondents are owners and operators of coal- 
and oil-fired electric utility steam generating units (EGUs). The final 
rule regulates HCl, filterable PM, Hg, and organic HAP from coal-fired 
EGUs. For oil-fired EGUs, the final rule regulates HCl, HF, filterable 
PM, and organic HAP. Following initial performance tests, owners/
operators of EGUs will be required to demonstrate compliance with 
emission limits through continuously monitoring PM, Hg, HCl, and HF 
(oil-fired EGUs) emissions. The final rule includes a work practice 
standard for organic HAP; the work practice standard requires the 
implementation of periodic burner tune-up procedures. Respondents will 
be required to notify EPA of performance tests and CEMS demonstrations, 
and to maintain records demonstrating compliance with each emission 
limit and work practice standard. This information is being collected 
to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUUU.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of coal and 
oil-fired EGUs.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart UUUUU).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,254 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 670,241 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $67,306,156 (per year), includes $1,685,748 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 30,055 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. These changes are because the standard has been in 
effect for more than three years and the requirements are different 
during initial compliance as compared to on-going compliance.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
