a On average, EPA estimates 19 existing sources will be subject to the NESHAP. No new sources will become subject to the standard over the three-year period of this ICR.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $122.20 (technical), $153.55 (managerial), and $61.51 (clerical). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2021, “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 Applies to new or reconstructed sources only. However, based on comments received from Corteva, we assume one existing source per year will install a new process unit and would be required to conduct certain activities, including submit an updated pre-compliance report, notifications of initial performance test or performance evaluation, update record management systems, and develop of a QA/QC plan for CMS.
d EPA assumes 5 percent of existing facilities (19 x 0.05 = 1, after rounding) will implement process changes.
e EPA assumes 90 percent of new sources will comply by conducting performance testing.
f EPA assumes 10 percent of new sources will comply by submitting engineering calculations, designing calculations, and CMS performance evaluation results.
g EPA assumes 90 percent of sources (19 x 0.9 = 17, after rounding) will have no exceedances and periods of noncompliance; therefore, they will submit periodic reports on a semiannual basis.
h EPA assumes 10 percent of sources (19 x 0.1 = 2, after rounding) will have exceedances and periods of noncompliance; therefore, they will submit periodic reports on a quarterly basis.
i EPA assumes 10 percent of existing sources will comply with emissions averaging requirements. New sources are not allowed to use emissions averaging.
j EPA assumes it will take 1 hour, 320 times per year, to record continuously monitored parameter data.
k Pressure Relief Device (PRD) reporting and Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) reporting are submitted with the semiannual report.
l Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2021 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.

b Based on comments received from Corteva, we assume a cost of $2,825 annually per respondent for annual PRD monitoring.
c Based on comments received from Corteva, we assume approximately 10 hours of technical labor for programming time, correct instrumentation, and calibrations, or $1,220 per respondent annually.
d Based on comments received from Corteva, we assume a cost of $9,038 annually per respondent for calibration and maintenance for the treatment device and associated control devices and operating parameters.
