    Abstract: The NESHAP for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations 
were proposed on October 13, 1994, and promulgated on July 1, 1996. The 
affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP 
(40 CFR part 63, subpart A), and any changes, or additions to these 
provisions are specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart DD. Owners or 
operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time-only report 
of any physical or operational changes, initial 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 
are required semiannually at a minimum.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Waste management and recovery 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart DD).
    Estimated number of respondents: 45 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 40,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $5,060,000 (per year), which includes 
$874,000 in either annualized capital/startup or operation & 
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the respondent 
labor hours, labor costs, and the number of responses. The decrease 
reflects an update in the estimated respondent universe. The previously 
approved ICR (1717.09) estimated 236 sources. In developing the 2015 
amendment, we estimate that only 45 sources are subject to these 
standards.
    There is an increase in the total O&M cost compared to the 
previously approved ICR. This cost increased because the current ICR 
incorporates additional requirements associated with the 2015 
amendment, including additional O&M cost associated with LDAR and PRD 
monitoring equipment.
