Assumptions:
a. We have assumed that an average of 9 respondents per year will be subject to 40 CFR subpart L and an average of 4 respondents per year will be subject to 40 CFR subpart Y. No new sources will become subject to the rule over the three-year ICR period. Note that the burden for any new sources subject to subpart Y is included in the NSPS for storage vessels at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Kb.
b. This ICR uses the following labor rates: $120.27 for technical, $141.06 for managerial, and $58.67 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 each respondent will take 0.5 hours to complete the annual maintenance inspection.
d. We have assumed that each respondent will take twelve hours twice per year to write semiannual emissions reports.
e. We have assumed that each respondent will take thirty-three hours four times per year to file and maintain records.											Summary of Responded Burden and Costs (Rounded)
f. We have assumed that each respondent will take two hours twice per year to complete the performance evaluation for Method 21.											Standard	Reporting (hr)	Recordkeeping (hr)	Total Burden Hours (hr)	Total Burden Costs
g. EFR - External Floating Roof. IFR - Internal Floating Roof.											Subpart L	264	1,408	1,670	$194,000
h. We believe that all vessels have been degassed and that all controls have been installed, as they were to be installed within ten years of promulgation.											Subpart Y	51	9	60	$6,950
i. We have assumed that two percent of existing sources will request a delay of repair in the annual report.											Total			1,730	$201,000
j. We have assumed that no sources will select the option for a fixed roof vented to a control device, and thus have no quarterly reports of excess emissions.
k. Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a. We have assumed that an average of 9 respondents per year will be subject to 40 CFR subpart L and an average of 4 respondents per year will be subject to 40 CFR subpart Y. No new sources will become subject to the rule over the three-year ICR period. Note that the burden for any new sources subject to subpart Y is included in the NSPS for storage vessels at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Kb.
b. This ICR uses the following labor rates: $49.44 for technical, $66.62 for managerial, 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 the Agency four hours per respondent to review excess emissions and exemption reports twice per year.																Summary of Agency Burden and Costs (Rounded)
