Assumptions:










a We have assumed that are approximately 5 out of 11 secondary brass and bronze ingots production plants subject to NSPS Subpart M. We have further assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.
b The labor rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2019, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rate has been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c Initial rule requirements would apply only to new sources. We have assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.
d We have assumed that 20 percent of initial performance tests must be repeated due to failure.
e Sources are required to use the following Reference Methods (RM) in conducting performance tests, if applicable: 1) RM 5 for particulate matter concentrations and volumetric flow rate of the effluent gas (all subparts); 2) RM 9 for visible emissions observations of opacity.
f Section 60.11 of the General Provisions allows sources to use a continuous opacity monitor (COM) in lieu of Method 9 to determine compliance with the opacity standard. However, we have assumed that all sources are complying with the standard using RM 9.
g Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS subpart M are not required to submit semiannual reports.
h Sources are required to maintain records of startups, shutdowns and malfunctions including periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative, and of emission test results, continuous monitoring system data including, performance test results and other data needed to determine compliance with mass and visible emission limits.
i Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a It is estimated that six primary pyrometallic copper smelters (Subpart P), one primary pryrometallurgical zinc smelter (Subpart Q), and zero primary pryrometallurgical lead smelter (Subpart R) are currently subject to the NSPS standards, which totals 7 respondents. However, the affected units at the primary lead smelter will be shutdown, and only 7 respondents will have burden associated with this rule. We have further assumed that no additional sources will become subject to the standard in the next three years.
b The labor rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2019, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rate has been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c Initial rule requirements would apply only to new sources. We have assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.
d We have assumed that 20 percent of initial performance tests must be repeated due to failure.
e Sources are required to use the following Reference Methods (RM) in conducting performance tests, if applicable: 1) RM 5 for particulate matter concentrations and volumetric flow rate of the effluent gas (all subparts); 2) RM 9 for visible emissions observations of opacity. Sources are expected to conduct the visible emissions observation of opacity during the initial performance test.
f Section 60.11 of the General Provisions allows sources to use a continuous opacity monitor (COM) in lieu of Method 9 to determine compliance with the opacity standard. We have assumed that all sources are complying with the standard using COMs. In addition, we assume the sources are using continuous monitoring systems (CMS) to monitor other parameters.
g Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS subparts P, Q, R and are required to submit semiannual reports.
h Sources are required to maintain records of monitoring of operations including startups, shutdowns and malfunctions including periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative, emission test results, continuous monitoring system data including, performance test results and other data needed to determine compliance with mass and visible emission limits.
i Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a It is estimated that there are 23 primary aluminum plants are currently operating nationwide with 91 potlines that produce aluminum, each plant having a paste production plant, and only 17 of these plants having anode bake furnaces. However, only a total of 5 potlines at 4 plants are estimated to be subject to the NSPS standards. However, the Agency has promulgated new standards for the primary aluminum sector, MACT subpart LL. This rule allows sources to comply with the requirements for potroom groups and anode bake furnaces as an alternative to the NSPS requirements. In addition, the MACT rule requirements for anode bake plants are more stringent and superseded the NSPS requirements for such affected facility. Therefore, the burden for complying with the NSPS standard is associated with sources complying with the requirements for potroom groups only. We have further assumed that no additional sources per year will become subject to the NSPS standard in the next three years.
b The labor rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2019, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rate has been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c Initial rule requirements would apply only to new sources. We have assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.
d The rule requires sources to conduct a monthly performance test after the initial test and requires them to provide a 15 days advance notice of each test, except for the two sources specified in the rule that were allowed to conduct an annual performance test. We have further assumed that only 10 percent of the performance tests will have to be repeated.
e Sources are required to use the following Reference Methods (RM) in conducting performance tests, if applicable: 1) RM 5 for particulate matter concentrations and volumetric flow rate of the effluent gas; and 2) RM 9 for visible emissions observations of opacity.
f Section 60.11 of the General Provisions allows sources to use a continuous opacity monitor (COM) in lieu of Method 9 to determine compliance with the opacity standard. We have assumed that all sources are complying with the standard using RM 9, however, the sources are using continuous monitoring systems (CMS) to monitor other parameters.
g Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS subpart S are required to submit semiannual reports.
h Sources are required to maintain records of their operations including records of startups, shutdowns and malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative, emission test results, performance test results and other operational data needed to determine compliance with mass and visible emission standards.
i Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a It is estimated that 2 out of 7 ferroalloy production facilities nationwide is subject to the NSPS Subpart Z standards. We have further assumed that no additional sources per year will become subject to the NSPS standard in the next three years.
b The labor rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2019, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rate has been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c Initial rule requirements would apply only to new sources. We have assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.
d We have assumed that 20 percent of initial performance tests must be repeated due to failure.
e Sources are required to use the following Reference Methods (RM) in conducting performance tests, if applicable: 1) RM 5 for particulate matter concentrations and volumetric flow rate of the effluent gas; 2) RM 9 for visible emissions observations of opacity.
f Section 60.11of the General Provisions allows sources to use a continuous opacity monitor (COM) in lieu of Method 9 to determine compliance with the opacity standard. We have assumed that all sources are complying with the standard using COMs. In addition, we assume the sources are using continuous monitoring systems (CMS) to monitor other parameters.
g We have assumed that neither source will not have a product change over the 3 year period of the ICR.
h Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS Subpart Z are required to submit semiannual reports.
i Sources are required to maintain records of operations including startups, shutdowns and malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative, emission test results, and continuous monitoring system data including, performance test results and other data needed to determine compliance with mass and visible emission limits.
j Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a We have assumed that there are approximately five secondary brass and bronze producers subject to the NSPS subpart M standard and that no new sources will become subject to the NSPS standard in the next three years.
b This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $66.62 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $41.64 x 1.6), $49.44 for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $30.90 x 1.6) and $26.75 Clerical (GS-6, Step 3, $16.72 x 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) "2019 General Schedule" which excludes locality rates of pay.
c We have assumed that all existing sources are in compliance with the initial rule requirements.
d Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS Subpart M are not required to submit semiannual reports.
e The time required to attend a performance test per plant is estimated to be approximately 24 hours (1 day).
f Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a We have assumed that are approximately six primary copper smelters (subpart P), one primary zinc smelter (subpart Q), and one primary lead smelter
(subpart R) subject to the NSPS standard for a total of eight respondents. However, we assume that the affected units at the one primary lead smelter facility has be shutdown, so only 7 facilities in total will have burden associated with this rule. We have further assumed that there will be no new sources in the next three years.
b This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $66.62 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $41.64 x 1.6), $49.44 for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $30.90 x 1.6) and $26.75 Clerical (GS-6, Step 3, $16.72 x 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) "2019 General Schedule" which excludes locality rates of pay.
c We have assumed that all existing sources are in compliance with the initial rule requirements.
d Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS subparts P, Q and R are required to submit semiannual reports.
e The time required to attend a performance test per plant is estimated to be approximately 24 hours (1 day).
f Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
