Assumptions:
a We have assumed that there are approximately 42 respondents, with no additional new or reconstructed sources becoming subject to the rule over the next three years.
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 $60.82 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 tests will fail 20% of the time.
d We have assumed that each respondent will take eight hours twice per year to complete the semiannual report.
e We have assumed that 20 percent of respondents will experience twice a year both a monitoring exceedance under 40 CFR 60.315(c) and an exceedance of the standard in 40 CFR 60.312. We assume that it will take 16 hours to complete these reports, assuming it takes 8 hours to complete each excess emissions report in 40 CFR 60.315(b) and 8 hours to complete each monitoring systems performance report in 40 CFR 60.315(c).
f We have assumed that each respondent will take one hour once per month to record monthly performance test.
g We have assumed that each respondent will take 0.25 hours per day over 350 days per year to keep record of operating parameters.
h Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

TOTAL ANNUAL BURDEN AND COST (rounded) f					232			$11,600
Assumptions:
a We have assumed that there are approximately 42 respondents, with no additional new or reconstructed sources becoming subject to the rule over the next three years.
b This cost is based on the following labor rates: 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%). The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2021 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.
c We have assumed that tests will fail 20% of the time.
d We have assumed that it will take two hours twice per year to review the semiannual report.
e We have assumed that EPA will take two hours to review both reports: one hour to review each excess emissions report and one hour to review each monitoring systems performance report. We also assumed that 20 percent of existing plants will submit twice per year an excess emissions reports and a monitoring systems performance report.
f Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
