Assumptions:











a EPA estimates that there are 155 existing facilities subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart FFFF: 29 air curtain incinerator (ACI) facilities and 126 other OSWI facilities. EPA estimates that 63 non-ACI facilities are large facilities with units with capacities that are less than 10 TPD that will be able to do initial testing, and the ACI facilities will be able to do initial testing. For the remaining 63 units with a capacity of less than 10 TPD, the proposed rule allows for an alternative compliance option that allows facilities to demonstrate compliance by requesting a substitute means of compliance demonstration test from their delegated authority. Units with a capacity of greater than or equal to 10 TPD and ACI units have no new initial testing requirements under the proposed rule, therefore, there are no incremental costs associated with these requirements.

b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $117.92 (technical), $147.40 (managerial), and $57.02 (clerical). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2018, “Table 2. Civilian workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” They 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 only cost for existing respondents with units greater than 10 TPD or units less than 10 TPD that do not meet the substitute means of compliance requirements. We assume 63 respondents at large facilities will test 78 units, and 63 remaining facilities will use the substitute means of compliance option in Year 1. Note that the waste management plan is submitted as part of the preconstruction report. There are no new initial testing requirements under the proposed rule for units with capacities greater than 10 TPD or ACI units, therefore, there are no incremental costs associated with these requirements.

d We have assumed that no respondents would be required to repeat a performance test.











e We have assumed that none of the existing units subject to FFFF have CEMS, all units are less than 10 TPD and will use a substitute means of compliance demonstration; therefore no facilities will submit an initial demonstration report.











f We have assumed that each respondent will use a substitute means of compliance demonstration; therefore, no respondents are expected to conduct annual performance tests or record daily calibration and operation or control devices operating parameters.

g We have assumed that non-ACI facilities will submit an initial test report in lieu of an annual compliance report in Year 1. However, the requirement to submit an annual compliance report is not new, therefore there are no incremental costs associated with this requirement.

h The emission limits will apply at all times, including periods of SSM. Therefore, no facilities will have recordkeeping costs associated with SSM.











i We have assumed that 10 percent of the respondents will report exceedances.











j Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.











k We have assumed that each respondent will record information 52 times per year. This includes 63 respondents with units with capacities less than 10 TPD that will use the substitute means of compliance option.

Assumptions:







a EPA estimates that there are 155 existing facilities subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart FFFF: 29 air curtain incinerator (ACI) facilities and 126 other OSWI facilities. EPA estimates that 63 non-ACI facilities are large facilities with units with capacities that are less than 10 TPD that will be able to do initial testing, and the ACI facilities will be able to do initial testing. For the remaining 63 units with a capacity of less than 10 TPD, the proposed rule allows for an alternative compliance option that allows facilities to demonstrate compliance by requesting a substitute means of compliance demonstration test from their delegated authority. Units with a capacity of greater than or equal to 10 TPD and ACI units have no new initial testing requirements under the proposed rule, therefore, there are no incremental costs associated with these requirements.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $48.08 (technical), $64.80 (managerial), and $26.02 (clerical). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2017 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 that this is a one-time only cost for existing respondents with units greater than 10 TPD or units less than 10 TPD that do not meet the substitute means of compliance requirements. We assume 63 non-ACI respondents will test in Year 1.
d We have assumed that all affected facilities in the states will be required to prepare an annual summary plan.







e Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.







fWe have assumed that EPA will review one grant application per EPA Region.
