Some permits already require periodic testing. It's estimated that an additional 65 oxidizers (62 of which are thermal oxidizers) will have to perform repeat testing under the proposal, and that one-third are done each year (62/3=21). Three additional catalytic oxidizers will have to perform annual catalyst testing, in lieu of emissions testing

a We estimate an average of 170 sources during the three-year period of this ICR. Permit data indicates 52% of the facilities use add-on controls (79 use oxidizers and 9 use carbon adsorption). All of the oxidizers use parametric monitoring, and it was assumed that 5 of the facilities using carbon adsorption do as well. The remaining 4 facilities using carbon adsorption were assumed to use CEMs. It was conservatively estimated that each new facility uses CEMs.						Caldwell: can't seem to merge cells here		88

Assumptions:
a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to this rule will be 170. There are currently 168 facilities, and we have estimated there will be three additional new sources that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of the ICR (i.e., one per year).
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $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, September 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 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c We have assumed that this is a one-time activity for one new facility using a solvent recovery device.
d Periodic emissions performance testing will be required for an additional 62 thermal oxidizers, assume one-third each year (62/3 = 21 per year). Annual catalyst testing will be required for an additional 3 catalytic oxidizers.
e Based on permit data, we have assumed that 80 facilities comply with MACT through the use of compliant coatings and thus will record activities for compliance coating use.
f Based on review of permit data we have estimated that 88 facilities currently use add on control equipment. Assuming each new facility added uses add-on control equipment, we assumed an average of 90 facilities per year with add on controls over the 3 year period. Thus, we have assumed these 90 facilties incur these costs.
g We have assumed that 5% of respondents will fail to meet standards each year (0.05x170 = 8.5)
h We have assumed that 170 respondents will be involved in the storage, filing, maintenance and retrieval of records and reports twelve times per year.
i 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 this rule will be 170. There are currently 168, and it's estimated that 3 additional new sources that will become subject to the rule over the 3-year period of the ICR (i.e., 1 per year).
b This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $65.71 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5), $48.75 for Technical (GS-12, Step 1), and $26.38 Clerical (GS-6, Step 3). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2018 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay.
c We have assumed that this is a one-time activity for each new facility.
d It is assumed that the agency will review summary reports twice per year.
e A total of 62 thermal oxidizers will have periodic emissions performance tests and CMS performance evaluations. Assume one-third per year (62/3 = 21)
f We have assumed that it will take the agency ten hours to review test results.
g Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
