a We have assumed approximately 8.4 existing respondents are subject to the standard. It is estimated that an additional 1.2 respondents per year will become subject to the standard. The overall average number of respondents is 9.6 per year over the three-year period of this ICR.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $147.40 (Managerial), $117.92 (Technical), and $57.02 (Clerical). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2018, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group", 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 approximately 10% of all respondents will submit NOx non-compliance reports or reports of malfunctions.
d Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
