CPMS - Continuous Parameter Monitoring System
SSM - Startup, Malfunction, or Startup
Assumptions:
a EPA estimates an average of 16 existing sources will be subject to the standard. One additional new source (flame lamination) will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $103.97 (technical), $129.93 (managerial), and $51.79 (clerical). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2014, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” They have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c Applies to loop slitter adhseive facilities only.
d EPA assumes each respondent will submit SSM reports ten times per year.
e EPA assumes this activity also includes writing the site-specific test plan.
f EPA assumes each respondent will implement CPMS calibration and maintenance activities 50 times per year.
g EPA assumes each respondent will file and maintain records on a monthly basis.
h EPA assumes each respondent will retrieve records/reports 12 times per year.
