Assumptions: | |||||||||||
a We have assumed that the average number of sources that will be subject to the standard will be 1,37. There will be no additional new source per year that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR | |||||||||||
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $123.93 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 assume all respondents will take 2 hours to familiarize with the regulatory requirements. | |||||||||||
d These requirements only apply to sources subject to the 2009 final rule amendment, i.e. sources constructed, reconstructed, or modified after April 28, 2008. EPA assumes that on average over the period covered under this ICR, there are 24 sources subject to the final rule amendment. EPA also assumes that 50 percent of sources elect to perform daily walkthrough visual emission observations for compliance monitoring, and 50 percent of sources elect to perform repeat Method 9 opacity testing for compliance monitoring. | |||||||||||
e All new and existing sources are subject to semiannual reporting. | |||||||||||
f We have assumed that each respondent will take one hour once per month to transmit electronic data. | |||||||||||
g We have assumed that each new respondent will take eight hours three time per year to observe procedures. | |||||||||||
h Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2014 General Schedule, which excludes locality, rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. | ||||||||
c We have assumed that all sources are subject to semiannual excess emissions reporting. | ||||||||
