    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NSPS (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), and any changes, or 
additions to the Provisions are specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
KK. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial 
notification reports, performance tests, and periodic reports and 
results. Owners or operators are also required to maintain 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required 
semiannually.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Lead-acid battery manufacturing 
plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart KK).
    Estimated number of respondents: 52 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,990 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $423,000 (per year), which includes $11,700 
in either annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in 
respondent labor hours in this ICR from the most recently approved ICR. 
This decrease is due to rounding differences and a mathematical 
correction in the burden calculations.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
