These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities located at grain elevators: each truck unloading station, truck loading station, railcar unloading station, railcar loading station, grain dryer, and all grain handling operations commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after August 3, 1978. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart DD. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. <E T="03">Form Numbers:</E> None. <E T="03">Respondents/affected entities:</E> Grain elevators. <E T="03">Respondent's obligation to respond:</E> Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart DD). <E T="03">Estimated number of respondents:</E> 254 (total). <E T="03">Frequency of response:</E> Initially. <E T="03">Total estimated burden:</E> 584 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). <E T="03">Total estimated cost:</E> $80,000 (per year). There are no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. <E T="03">Changes in the estimates:</E> The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the estimated number of existing respondents. The previous ICR documented 200 sources, but after a current ECHO database search, the number of respondents estimated in this ICR is 254. The growth rate remains at zero new sources per year. <SIG> <NAME>Courtney Kerwin,</NAME> Director, Regulatory Support Division. </SIG> </SUPLINF> <FRDOC>[FR Doc. 2025-23921 Filed 12-29-25; 8:45 am]</FRDOC> </NOTICE>
