TOTAL CAPITAL AND O&M COST (rounded) i								$35,000
GRAND TOTAL (rounded) i								$344,000
Assumptions:
a For the purpose of determining recordkeeping and reporting burdens associated with this rule, we have assumed there are 33 respondents, and that no new additional sources will be subject over the three-year period of this ICR. Of a total of approximately 236 existing sources, we have assumed approximately 10 sources have elected to comply with the rule by monitoring ambient air beryllium concentrations and that the remaining 226 sources have complied by conducting a one-time-only stack test. We also have assumed that 10 percent of the 226 sources (i.e., 23 respondents) will engage in operational changes that will require them to repeat stack testing and to carry out subsequent recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $141.06 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $120.27 per hour for Technical labor, and $58.67 per hour for Clerical labor. These 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 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 existing respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year.
d We have assumed that each respondent will take eight hours to determine the emission level from the stack test.
e We have assumed that each respondent will take two hours to write notification report of stack test.
f We have assumed that each respondent will take eight hours to complete the report of emission level determination/operational change.
g We have assumed that each respondent will take eight hours once per month to write the monthly ambient concentrations report.
h We have assumed that each of the ten respondents will take fifteen minutes each day to enter records of operating parameters and emissions information.
i Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $66.62 for managerial, $49.44 for technical, and $26.75 for clerical labor. These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2019 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 We have assumed it will take two hours per respondent to review the emission level determination/operational change report.
d We have assumed it will take two hours per respondent per month to review the monthly ambient concentrations report.
e Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
