ASSUMPTIONS
a We have assumed that the average number of existing respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 5.33. There will be one additional new private source that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates for private sources: $147.40 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $117.92 per hour for Technical labor, and $57.02 per hour for Clerical labor. 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.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c This ICR uses the following labor rates for public sources: Managerial rate of $65.71 (GS-13, Step 5, $41.07 + 60%), Technical rate of $48.75 (GS-12, Step 1, $30.47 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $26.38 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.49 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), “2018 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees.
d There are an average of 1.38 affected facilities (i.e., sources or units) per respondent [7.33 facilities at 5.33 plants = 1.38 (Rounded)].
e Relative accuracy test audits (RATA) occur once per year for each affected facility (1 x 1.38 = 1.38).
f Relative accuracy audits (RAA) occur three times per year for each affected facility (3 x 1.38 = 4.14).
g Daily calibration and operation data occurs daily (365 x 1.38 = 503.7).
h RATA audits are performed for one of the four quarterly audits. RAA tests are performed for three of the four quarterly audits. Audits of the diluent monitor (O2 or CO2) are not required because tests on SO2 and CO monitors will incorporate the use of the diluent monitor.
i Assumes a total of 2 semiannual excess emission reports (1 report for a privately-owned source and 1 report for a state/local government-owned source).
j Assumes 47 weeks of operation (90 percent availability) per year per facility.
k Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

ASSUMPTIONS
a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 4.33. There will be one additional new private source that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR.
b This cost is based on the following labor rates: Managerial rate of $65.71 (GS-13, Step 5, $41.07 + 60%), Technical rate of $48.75 (GS-12, Step 1, $30.47 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $26.38 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.49 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), “2018 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees.
c Assumes a total of 2 excess emissions reports from all affected facilities.
d Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
