Assumptions:
a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 301. There will be 11 additional new sources 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: $144.33 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $108.28 per hour for Technical labor, and $53.34 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2016, “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 respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year.
d We have assumed that four new respondents will each take two hours to write notification of construction/reconstruction report.
e We have assumed that seven new respondents will each take two hours to write notification of modification report.
f We have assumed that all new respondents will each take 16 hours to write the semiannual report two times per year.
g We have assumed that occurrences/respondents for new facilities are based on an average of 1.7 affected facilities per respondent, with an estimated 10 percent retest.
h This estimate includes performance test (opacity) for coal, wood, and oil-fired steam generating units and test of continuous emissions monitor.
i Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

TOTAL ANNUAL BURDEN AND COST (rounded) e					5,710			$268,000
Assumptions:
a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 301. There will be 11 additional new sources per year that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR.
b The cost is based on the following labor rate which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses. Managerial rates of $64.80 (GS-13, Step 5, $40.50 × 1.6), Technical rate of $48.08 (GS-12, Step 1, $30.05 × 1.6), and Clerical rate of $26.02 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.26 × 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2017 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay.
c We have assumed that occurrences/respondent for new facilities are based on an average of 1.7 affected facilities per respondent.
d We have assumed that it will take 8 hours two times per year to review each semiannual report.
e Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Sheet 3: Capital and O&M

Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs
(A)	(B)	(C)	(D)	(E)	(F)	(G)
Continuous Monitoring Device	Capital/Startup Cost for One Respondent	Number of New Respondents	Total Capital/ Startup Cost (BxC)	Annual O&M Costs for One Respondent	Number of Respondents with O&M	Total O&M,
SO2 Monitoring
CEMS, control device inlet and outlet	$113,592	0	$0	$25,900	26	$673,400
CEMS, control device outlet only a	$73,028	19	$1,387,532	$17,100	486	$8,310,600
PM Monitoring

TOTAL (rounded)			$1,720,000			$10,100,000
a Number of respondents with O&M (486 units) represents an annual average of 301 existing facilities, multiplied by an average of 1.7 affected units per facility, less an annual average of 26 units requiring inlet and outlet monitoring [301 x 1.7 = 511.7 - 26 = 485.7, rounded to 486 units]. Number of respondents with capital costs (19 units) represents an average of 11 new facilities per year, multiplied by an average of 1.7 affected units per facility [11 x 1.7 = 18.7, rounded to 19 units].
b Number of respondents with O&M (125 units) represents an annual average of 120.4 existing affected facilities that require COMS, plus an average of 4.4 new affected facilities per year that require COMS [120.4/301 × 11 = 4.4 new affected facilities per year that require COMS; 120.4 + 4.4 = 124.8, rounded to 125 facilities that require COMS] Number of respondents with capital costs (7 units) represents an average of 4.4 new affected facilities per year that require COMS, multiplied by an average of 1.7 affected units per facility [4.4 x 1.7 = 7.48, rounded to 7 units].
