| Assumptions: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| a We estimated there are an average of 828 sources subject to the rule, including 811 existing sources that keep records but do not submit reports. In addition, we estimate an average net growth of 17 facilities per year and an average of 22 existing facilities conducting modifications of their facilities. |
|
|
|
| b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $149.84 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $122.66 per hour for Technical labor, and $60.88 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2020, “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 We have assumed that all sources will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| d We have assumed that a total of 39 new and modified hot mix asphalt facilities would be required to submit notification and conduct a performance test. We have further assumed that about 20 percent of the sources would repeat performance tests due to failure. |
|
|
|
| e The rule does not require existing sources to submit periodic reports. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| f We have assumed that recordkeeping would take sources an average of 1.5 hours a year. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| g Totals have been rounded to 3 significant values. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |

In addition, we estimate an average net growth of 17 facilities per year and that an average of 22 existing facilities conducting modifications of their facilities. |
| b This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: Managerial rate of $69.04 (GS-13, Step 5, $43.15 + 60%), Technical rate of $51.23 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.02 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $27.73 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.33 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2021 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay. |
| c We have assumed that a total of 39 new and modified hot mix asphalt facilities would be required to submit notification and conduct a performance test. We have further assumed that about 20 percent of the sources would repeat performance tests due to failure. |
