Assumptions: | |||||||||||
a We have assumed that the average number of sources that will be subject to the standard will be 5. There will be one 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: $129.93 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $103.7 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 that performance specification to certify CMS is expected to take approximately 16 hours. | |||||||||||
d We assume no failures of the initial CMS demonstrations; includes CO CEMS. | |||||||||||
e We assume it will take160 hrs to develop the operating information. | |||||||||||
f We assume that it will take 20 hours to update the operating information each year. | |||||||||||
g We assume that it will take 8 hours to review the operating information with each operator. | |||||||||||
h We assume that it will take 2 operators per facility to enter information. Also assume there is no operator turnover at the affected facilities. | |||||||||||
i We assume that annual control equipment inspection will occur for all sources. | |||||||||||
j We assume that it will take 460 hours to develop the site selection analysis. | |||||||||||
k We assume that it will take 160 hours to develop the waste management plan. | |||||||||||
l We assume that it will take 40 hours to develop the bag leak detection system analysis and 1.5 hours to record bag leak detection system alarms. Assume the total number of sources will be evenly distributed among small, medium, and large sources and only new large and medium sources (i.e. two-thirds of the effected sources) will install baghouses. | |||||||||||
m We assume that it will take 8 hours for each facility to review the report of the initial performance test for pollutants and fugitive ash. | |||||||||||
n Person-hours per occurrence are assumed to be 32 hours. | |||||||||||
o We have assume that it will take 48 hours and 24 hours per report per affected facility to report monitoring exceedances and no excess emissions, respectively. Because testing and monitoring requirements focus primarily on three pollutants (PM, CO, and HCl), assume three pollutants. | |||||||||||
p Assume 20 percent of respondents report monitoring exceedances and 80 percent report no excess emissions. | |||||||||||
q Assume 40 hours to review report of annual compliance test. | |||||||||||
r Because the semiannual report coincides once each year with the annual report and both reports include information on exceedances, malfunctions, and periods for which data were not obtained, the frequency of the semiannual report is shown in the table as only once per year to avoid double-counting. | |||||||||||
s We assume that this activity will be recorded daily. | |||||||||||
t We assumed that it will take 40 hours once per year to train one person to perform the Method 9 and Method 22 tests. The labor requirements to train the personnel were estimated to be 8 hr/d for 5 d/yr. | |||||||||||

a We have assumed that the average number of sources that will be subject to the standard will be 5. There will be one 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: Managerial $62.90 (GS-13, Step 5, $39.31 + 60%) ; Technical $46.67 (GS-12, Step 1, $29.17 + 60%); and Clerical $25.25 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.78 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2015 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 assume EPA personnel attend 8 percent of the initial performance tests. | |||||||||||
d We assume that 20 percent will fail the initial performance test, and will have to repeat the performance test. | |||||||||||
e We assume 10 percent of re-tests are attended by EPA personnel. | |||||||||||
f This ICR does not account for litigation costs. | |||||||||||
g We assume 10 percent of the affected facilities are required to re-test as a result of excess emissions, and that EPA personnel attend 10 percent of these tests. | |||||||||||
h We assume only new large and medium sources will install baghouses. | |||||||||||
I We assume 6 person-hours per report per pollutant. For the three new HMIWI, nine pollutants are required to be tested. | |||||||||||
j We assume 1 person-hour per report per CMS. For HMIWI, assume each uses six CMS (flue gas temperature, secondary chamber temperature, charge weight, scrubber liquor pH, scrubber liquor flow, and scrubber energy input). | |||||||||||
k We assume 20 percent of the affected facilities with recurrent burden will report monitoring exceedances. | |||||||||||
l We assume 6 person-hours per report per pollutant. For annual tests, there are three pollutants (PM, CO, and HCl) for all HMIWI. | |||||||||||
m We assume 80 percent of the affected facilities with recurrent burden will report no excess emissions. | |||||||||||
n We assume it will take 4 hours to review the annual control equipment inspection report. | |||||||||||
o Because the semiannual report coincides once each year with the annual report and both reports include information on exceedances, malfunctions, and periods for which data were not obtained, the frequency of semiannual report is shown in the table as only once per year to avoid double-counting. | |||||||||||
