| FOOTNOTES | ||||||||||||||||||
| a | We have assumed all respondent hours equals the number of Technical Hours except for surface methane monitoring and wellhead monitoring which fall under Civil Engineer Technician Hours. | |||||||||||||||||
| b | This ICR uses mean hourly wage for the following labor categories from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2013, “National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates United States”: Managers, All Other for Managerial labor, Civil Engineer for Technical labor, and Office Clerks, General for Clerical labor. The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. | |||||||||||||||||
| c | Includes only responses that are submitted as reports. | |||||||||||||||||
| d | This is a one time requirement for new respondents. We have assumed that each new respondent will take 40 hours to read instructions as part of their reporting requirements. Based on the regulatory database, 69% of these respondents are private and 31% are public. | |||||||||||||||||
| e | Based on the annualized capital costs for method 25 or 25C over 15 years, which is the expected lifetime of the flare or other destruction device. Other capital costs related to flare station monitoring include a thermocouple, flowmeter and data recorder. The costs for these equipment purchases were provided based on industry comment on the ICR renewal 1557.09 burden. These capital/start-up costs were also annualized over 15 years, since this is a one-time requirement. In addition, the industry comments also reported an annual O&M cost for these equipment in the most recent ICR renewal, and these costs were incorporated here. | |||||||||||||||||
| f | Assumes 101 controlled landfill during the first year of this ICR period. 25% of which are public and 75% of which are private. This is a one-time requirement. | |||||||||||||||||
| g | Assumes 101 controlled landfill during the first year of this ICR period. For surface monitoring: The average acreage of controlled sites is estimated to be 145 acres under the proposed 2.5/34 option. We assumed weekly equipment rental costs at $350/week, and one week per occurrence. In addition, the landfill will need to purchase calibration gases and hydrogen fuel to operate the surface monitoring equipment. 25% of which are public and 75% of which are private. For wellhead monitoring: The estimated burden was based on industry consultation of $2000 per month during the most recent ICR renewal for subpart WWW (ICR# 1557.09), or approximately 40 hours of technician labor time. The burden provided did not breakdown labor vs. non-labor costs, therefore we have not incorporated equipment rental costs in this estimate. We did however include costs for calibration gases for the wellhead equipment. Cost of re-monitoring for exceedances of surface monitoring or wellhead monitoring are not included because the rule does not require remonitoring unless an exceedance is found. Landfills can minimize the number of exceedances found by ensuring the GCCS is well-operated and the surface is well sealed. | |||||||||||||||||
| h | Based on the regulatory database, there are 7 greenfields and modified landfills with design capacity less than 2.5 million megagrams by mass or 2.5 million cubic meters by volume and thus will complete the initial design capacity report in the first year of this ICR. This is a one-time requirement. Based on the regulatory database, 14% of these respondents are private and 86% are public. | |||||||||||||||||
| i | Assumes no landfills will submit an amended design capacity report. | |||||||||||||||||
| j | We have assumed that 50 percent of uncontrolled landfills with use Tier 1 calculations annually and 50 percent will use Tier 2 calculations once every 5 years for their NMOC reports. Of the landfills estimated to remain uncontrolled in the regulatory database 40% are public and 60% are private. | |||||||||||||||||
| k | Based on the annualized capital costs for conducting a method 25 or 25C over 5 years, since a Tier 2 test must be repeated every 5 years. Labor burden is assigned once every 5 years. | |||||||||||||||||
| l | We have assumed that no controlled landfill will close or remove equipment during this ICR period. | |||||||||||||||||
| m | Equipment Removal Report requires inclusion of 3 successive NMOC rates using Tier 2 calculations to demonstrate landfill is below the NMOC threshold. | |||||||||||||||||
| n | We have assumed that 10% of controlled landfill will revise their design plan. | |||||||||||||||||
| o | Assumes 101 controlled landfill during the first year of this ICR period. 25% of which are public and 75% of which are private. The estimated burden was based on industry consultation of $5000 per year for compliance reporting (see comment on recent ICR renewal for subpart WWW, ICR# 1557.09). Since this estimate included an assumption of a semi-annual report to satisfy the requirements of the landfills NESHAP, we adjusted this estimate by half to account for the single report required by this NSPS, or $2500, which is approximately 27 technical hours per occurance. | |||||||||||||||||
| p | Assumes 101 controlled landfill during the first year of this ICR period. 25% of which are public and 75% of which are private. The estimated burden was based on industry consultation of $1000 per month for recordkeeping and data storage per month and $500 for data compilation and review per month (see comment on recent ICR renewal for subpart WWW, ICR# 1557.09). This is approximately 5 technical hours per occurance for data compilation and review and 11 hours for recordkeeping and data storage. | |||||||||||||||||
| q | Number of occurrences is based on the total number of landfills that are subject to the standard but not controlling. Based on the regulatory database, 51% of these respondents are private and 49% are public. These records are much more simplistic for these sources than landfills controlling emissions. | |||||||||||||||||

| FOOTNOTES | ||||||||||||||||||
| a | We have assumed all respondent hours equals the number of Technical Hours except for surface methane monitoring and wellhead monitoring which fall under Civil Engineer Technician Hours. | |||||||||||||||||
| b | This ICR uses mean hourly wage for the following labor categories from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2013, “National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates United States”: Managers, All Other for Managerial labor, Civil Engineer for Technical labor, and Office Clerks, General for Clerical labor. The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. | |||||||||||||||||
| c | Includes only responses that are submitted as reports. | |||||||||||||||||
| d | This is a one time requirement for new respondents. We have assumed that each new respondent will take 40 hours to read instructions as part of their reporting requirements. | |||||||||||||||||
| e | Based on the annualized capital costs for method 25 or 25C over 15 years, which is the expected lifetime of the flare or other destruction device. Other capital costs related to flare station monitoring include a thermocouple, flowmeter and data recorder. The costs for these equipment purchases were provided based on industry comment on the ICR renewal 1557.09 burden. These capital/start-up costs were also annualized over 15 years, since this is a one-time requirement. In addition, the industry comments also reported an annual O&M cost for these equipment in the most recent ICR renewal, and these costs were incorporated here. | |||||||||||||||||
| f | Assumes 13 additional controlled landfill during the third year of this ICR period. 26% of which are public and 74% of which are private. This is a one-time requirement. | |||||||||||||||||
| g | A total of 117 controlled sites in year 3. For surface monitoring: The average acreage of controlled sites is estimated to be 145 acres under the proposed 2.5/34 option. We assumed weekly equipment rental costs at $350/week, and one week per occurrence. In addition, the landfill will need to purchase calibration gases and hydrogen fuel to operate the surface monitoring equipment. 25% of which are public and 75% of which are private. For wellhead monitoring: The estimated burden was based on industry consultation of $2000 per month during the most recent ICR renewal for subpart WWW (ICR# 1557.09), or approximately 40 hours of technician labor time. The burden provided did not breakdown labor vs. non-labor costs, therefore we have not incorporated equipment rental costs in this estimate. We did however include costs for calibration gases for the wellhead equipment. Cost of re-monitoring for exceedances of surface monitoring or wellhead monitoring are not included because the rule does not require remonitoring unless an exceedance is found. Landfills can minimize the number of exceedances found by ensuring the GCCS is well-operated and the surface is well sealed. | |||||||||||||||||
| h | No additional landfills subject to this subpart are estimated to have a design capacity of less than 2.5 million megagrams by mass or 2.5 million cubic meters by volume. | |||||||||||||||||
| i | Assumes no landfills will submit an amended design capacity report. | |||||||||||||||||
| j | We have assumed that 50 percent of uncontrolled landfills with use Tier 1 calculations annually and 50 percent will use Tier 2 calculations once every 5 years for their NMOC reports. Of the landfills estimated to remain uncontrolled in the regulatory database 39% are public and 61% are private. | |||||||||||||||||
| k | Based on the annualized capital costs for conducting a method 25 or 25C over 5 years, since a Tier 2 test must be repeated every 5 years. Labor burden is assigned once every 5 years. | |||||||||||||||||
| l | We have assumed that no controlled landfill will close or remove equipment during this ICR period. | |||||||||||||||||
| m | Equipment Removal Report requires inclusion of 3 successive NMOC rates using Tier 2 calculations to demonstrate landfill is below the NMOC threshold. | |||||||||||||||||
| n | We have assumed that 10% of controlled landfill will revise their design plan. | |||||||||||||||||
| o | Assumes 117 controlled landfill during the third year of this ICR period. 25% of which are public and 75% of which are private. The estimated burden was based on industry consultation of $5000 per year for compliance reporting (see comment on recent ICR renewal for subpart WWW, ICR# 1557.09). Since this estimate included an assumption of a semi-annual report to satisfy the requirements of the landfills NESHAP, we adjusted this estimate by half to account for the single report required by this NSPS, or $2500, which is approximately 27 technical hours per occurance. | |||||||||||||||||
| p | Assumes 117 controlled landfill during the third year of this ICR period. 25% of which are public and 75% of which are private. The estimated burden was based on industry consultation of $1000 per month for recordkeeping and data storage per month and $500 for data compilation and review per month (see comment on recent ICR renewal for subpart WWW, ICR# 1557.09). This is approximately 5 technical hours per occurance for data compilation and review and 11 hours for recordkeeping and data storage. | |||||||||||||||||
| q | Number of occurrences is based on the total number of landfills that are subject to the standard but not controlling. Based on the regulatory database, 51% of these respondents are private and 49% are public. These records are much more simplistic for these sources than landfills controlling emissions. | |||||||||||||||||
