Assumptions: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a We have assumed that there are approximately 18 existing sources currently subject to this rule. There will be no additional new source that will become subject to the rule each year over the three-year period of this ICR. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $129.93 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $103.97 per hour for Technical labor, and $51.79 per hour for Clerical labor. 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.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. |
|
|
c We have assumed that existing sources have already complied with initial rule requirements and are in full compliance with periodic requirements including semiannual reports. New respondents would have to comply with the initial rule requirements including notifications and performance tests for add-on control devices. |
|
|
d Monitoring and recordkeeping of operations for respondents will include monthly inspection of capture and control systems; daily testing of oil content for the sinter plant feed (7 plants [from the composite of three samples taken at 8-hour intervals]) to compute the 30-day rolling average oil content for each operating day; and every 2.5 years, each emission point must be sample by Method 5 for particulate matter and Method 9 for opacity observations to determine the opacity of fugitive emissions |
|
|
e Based on the average for the 18 respondents, we have assumed that there is an average of 7.6 emission points per respondent that need to be sampled using Method 5 and 3.6 emission points per respondent to need to be sampled using Method 9. |
|
|
f We have assumed that one respondent per year will have at least one startup, shutdown, or malfunction (SSM) that is not managed according to the SSM plan. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
g We have assumed that it takes each respondent approximately 3.25 hours per week to record and transmit information. |
|
|
† Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |

Assumptions: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a We have assumed that there are approximately 18 existing sources currently subject to this rule. There will be no additional new source that will become subject to the rule each year over the three-year period of this ICR. |
b This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $62.90 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $39.31 x 1.6), $46.67 for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $29.17 x 1.6) and $25.25 Clerical (GS-6, Step 3, $15.78 x 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2014 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. |
c We have assumed that existing sources have to comply with the initial rule requirements. New respondents are required to conduct performance test for add-on control equipments, submit initial notifications and prepare startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM) plans. |
d Every 2.5 years (or about 0.4 times per year, if averaged over the three-year period of ICR), respondents must sample each emission point using Method 5 for particulate matter and Method 9 for opacity observations, and submit a report with results. |
e Sources are required to submit semiannual compliance reports and startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) reports if there is an occurrence that is not managed according to the SSM plan. |
† Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |
