Assumptions:
a We estimate there are 431 existing landfills subject to the emission guidelines. Of these, we estimate 142 (33%) landfills are private and 289 (67%) are public.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Technical $103.97 ($49.51 + 110%); Managerial $129.93 ($61.87+ 110%); and Clerical $51.79 ($24.66 + 110%). 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. This ICR assumes that Managerial hours are 5 percent of Technical hours, and Clerical hours are 10 percent of Technical hours.
c Labor rates for Federal agency personnel were applied to publicly owned landfills, and are based on the average hourly labor rate as follows: Technical $46.67 (GS-12, Step 1, $29.17 + 60%); Managerial $62.90 (GS-13, Step 5, $39.31 + 60%); and Clerical $25.25 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.78 + 60%). This ICR assumes that Managerial hours are 5 percent of Technical hours, and Clerical hours are 10 percent of Technical hours. These rates are from the OPM, 2014 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been applied to local agencies and have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees.
d This ICR assumes all owners/operators of MSW landfills will have to re-familiarize with regulatory requirements each year
e This ICR assumes that all landfills affected by a State plan or the Federal plan have already exceeded the 50 Mg/yr NMOC emission threshold and are no longer submitting annual NMOC emission rate reports.
f This ICR assumes 5 percent of landfills will submit an amended design capacity report per year.
g We estimate that 33% of landfills are subject to the Federal plan and 67% of landfills are subject to a State plan. Our estimate of 142 private landfills includes 47 private landfills subject to the Federal plan and 95 private landfills subject to a State plan. Our estimate of 289 public landfills includes 95 public landfills subject to the Federal plan and 194 public landfills subject to a State plan.
h This ICR assumes 3 percent of landfills will submit a landfill closure report per year.
i This ICR assumes no landfills will submit an equipment removal report over the 3-year period of this ICR.
j Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding

Total Labor Burden and Cost (rounded) h						692			$31,500
Assumptions:
a This ICR assumes that 289 landfills are subject to State plans, and that 34 State and local agencies will be enforcing State plans. Thus, each agency is expected to review reports for an average of 8.5 landfills.
b Labor rates for Federal agency personnel were applied to State/Local agencies, and are based on the average hourly labor rate as follows: Technical $46.67 (GS-12, Step 1, $29.17 + 60%); Managerial $62.90 (GS-13, Step 5, $39.31 + 60%); and Clerical $25.25 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.78 + 60%). This ICR assumes that Managerial hours are 5 percent of Technical hours, and Clerical hours are 10 percent of Technical hours. These rates are from the OPM, 2014 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been applied to local agencies and have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees.
c This ICR assumes that all landfills affected by a State plan have already exceeded the 50 Mg/yr NMOC emission threshold and are no longer submitting annual NMOC emission rate reports.
d This ICR assumes 5 percent of landfills will submit an amended design capacity report per year.
e We estimate that 33% of landfills are subject to the Federal plan and 67% of landfills are subject to a State plan. Our estimate of 289 landfills subject to a State plan includes 95 private landfills and 194 public landfills.
f This ICR assumes 3 percent of landfills will submit a landfill closure report per year.
g This ICR assumes no landfills will submit an equipment removal report over the 3-year period of this ICR.
