Assumptions: | |||||||||||
a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 95 existing plants, operating 135 kilns. There will be no additional sources over the three-year period of this ICR. However, we assume that two existing plants will undergo modification or reconstruction which will require re-submittal or notifications and retesting. | |||||||||||
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 all new and existing respondents will take one hour to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. | |||||||||||
d We have assumed that each respondent will take 36 hours to perform initial performance tests. | |||||||||||
e We have assumed that one respondent will have to repeat initial performance tests.. | |||||||||||
f We have assumed that it will take each respondent eight hours to perform CEMS performance test. | |||||||||||
g We have assumed that it will take each respondent 2 hours 4 times per year to perform CEMS inspections. | |||||||||||
h We have assumed that it will take each respondent 0.3 hours 330 times per year to perform daily calibration drift tests. | |||||||||||
i We have assumed that it will take each respondent 0.5 hours 330 times per year to perform daily CEMS monitoring. | |||||||||||
j There will be a total of 3 performance tests per year (2 initial and 1 repeat) for two existing plants undergoing modification or reconstruction (3/2 = 1.5 tests/plant). | |||||||||||
k We have assumed that it will take each respondent 24 hours two times per year to prepare semiannual reports. | |||||||||||
l We have assumed that it will take each respondent 0.125 hours 330 times per year to enter daily production and kiln feed rates information. | |||||||||||
m We have assumed that it will take each respondent 0.1 hours 330 times per year to enter data collection information. | |||||||||||
n We have assumed that it will take each respondent 1.5 hours once per year to record SSM. | |||||||||||
o We have assumed that it will take respondents 16 hours twice a year to train personnel on how to maintain the CEMS. | |||||||||||
p Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |

There will be no additional sources over the three-year period of this ICR. However, we assume that two existing plants will undergo modification or reconstruction which will require re-submittal or notifications and retesting. | ||||||||
b This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $64.80 Managerial rate (GS-13, Step 5, $40.50 x 1.6), $48.08 Technical rate (GS-12, Step 1, $30.05 x 1.6), and $26.02 Clerical rate (GS-6, Step 3, $16.26 x 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2017 General Schedule”, which excludes locality rates of pay. | ||||||||
