a Estimate of burden for each activity, technical hours only.
b Estimate based on average facilities.
c We have assumed that there are 7 existing sources (3 PC, 1 AMF, 2 AR, and 1 HF) and that no additional new sources will become subject to the rule over the next three years.
d Costs are rounded and based on the following hourly rates: Technical at $122.20, Management at $153.55, and Clerical at $61.51. These labor rates are based on the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2021, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group".
e Since there are no new respondents estimated, these requirements do not apply.
f Initial notification requirements include: initial notifications, initial compliance determination, and initial performance tests.
g All major sources except for those in the PC and AMF subcategories must submit startup, shutdown, malfunction reports semiannually when actions are taken in the event of a startup, shutdown, or malfunction that are consistent with the source’s SSM plans. Sources can submit this information with the periodic reports.
h The rules requires that all sources submit periodic reports (semiannually or according to the schedule for Title V).
i The standards for equipment leak requires the submittal of an initial report and semiannual reports of leak detection and repair (LDAR) and any changes to the processes, monitoring frequency and initiation of a quality improvement program. These estimates assume sources are submitting the required periodic LDAR information with the semiannual reports. Since there are no new respondents estimated, the requirements for a one-time initial report do not apply.
j Costs for performing monitoring and repairs for the polycarbonates (PC) and acrylic and modacrylic fibers (AMF) categories are accounted for in operation and maintenance costs (i.e. the LDAR program is contracted out instead of conducted in house) (see section 6(b)(iii)).
k Visual inspections are required once per shift with a total of three shifts per day, at seven days per week, for 52 weeks per year. (3x7x52) for a total of 1,092 inspections per year.
l We have assumed that control equipment monitoring should be done on a weekly basis.
m We have assumed that there will be some labor hours associated with rule analysis and training per year.
n Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

TOTAL (Rounded)h						97		$4,830
Assumptions
a We have assumed that there are 7 existing sources (3 PC, 1 AMF, 2 AR, and 1 HF) and that no additional new sources will become subject to the rule over the next three years.
b This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $69.04 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5), $51.23 for Technical (GS-12, Step 1) and $27.73 Clerical (GS-6, Step 3). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2021 General Schedule”, which excludes locality rates of pay.
c We have assumed there will be no new sources over the next three years of this ICR. Since there are no new respondents estimated, these requirements do not apply.
d We have assumed that the Agency will not have additional burden from sources conducting performance tests due to a process change that may or may not result in the source meeting additional requirements.
e Since there are no new respondents estimated, these requirements do not apply.
f The equipment leak standards require the submittal of an initial report and semiannual report of leak detection and repair (LDAR) program experiencing any changes to the processes, monitoring frequency and initiation of a quality improvement program. We have assumed that sources are submitting the required LDAR information with the periodic reports.
g All major sources except for those in the PC and AMF subcategories must submit startup, shutdown, malfunction reports semiannually when actions are taken in the event of a startup, shutdown, or malfunction that are consistent with the source’s SSM plans. Since there are no new respondents estimated, the requirements to develop a startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM) plan do not apply. These estimates assume that sources are submitting their information on SSM with the periodic report which is submitted on a semiannual basis.
h Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
