Assumptions | |||||||||||||||||||||
a The burden on existing sources to refamiliarize themselves with the rule requirements is assumed at 5 hours for small units. | |||||||||||||||||||||
b Cost includes taking an inventory of facility equipment including age, operating schedules, square feet of the facility and other details necessary for preparing for the audit pre-screening, attending the energy audit, and reviewing audit report from the audit professional. Based on the distribution facility NAICS codes in the 2008 combustion unit survey database, 12% of facilities are in the commercial sector while the remaining 88% of facilities are in the industrial sector. | |||||||||||||||||||||
d Cost per occurrence for energy audit professionals including an phone screening to discuss the facility prior to a visit, a 2 to 4 hour site visit, and an additional 2-4 hours to prepare a follow-up report on recommendations and findings. These site visits are assumed to be conducted by certified energy professionals. It is assumed that all will be industrial facilities since industrial is the vast majority of projected units. | |||||||||||||||||||||
e Assumes facility must already maintain records on boiler insurance and/or maintenance schedule. No new record system would be required. | |||||||||||||||||||||
f Since a tune-up is required biennially, every two years, the compliance reports for small units are also due every two years. Records of the tune-ups will be submitted to the Administrator upon request. | |||||||||||||||||||||
g Small units are not required to maintain records on startup, shutdown and malfunction. | |||||||||||||||||||||
h For on-going training activities to keep personnel updated in order to implement compliance activities. Assumes half of respondents will conduct training each year. | |||||||||||||||||||||
i Assumes a biennial tune-up is conducted on half of all units each year. Some very small boilers (<5mmBtu/hr) or limited use boilers which operate less than 100 hours annually qualify for tune-ups every five years, however they would still incur an initial tune-up. For the time period of this ICR, there will not be a difference in burden associated with biennial vs 5-year tune-ups for existing units. |

Assumptions | |||||||||||||||||||
a The burden on existing sources to refamiliarize themselves with the rule requirements is assumed at 10 hours. | |||||||||||||||||||
b Cost includes taking an inventory of facility equipment including age, operating schedules, square feet of the facility and other details necessary for preparing for the audit pre-screening, attending the energy audit, and reviewing audit report from the audit professional. Based on the distribution of facilities with affected boilers or process heaters, 88% of facilities are in the industrial sector while the remaining 12% of facilities are in the commercial sector. | |||||||||||||||||||
c It is assumed that the affected existing units have conducted an audit, developed an initial site-specific testing and monitoring plan, and submitted initial notifications following the compliance date of January 31, 2016. It is assumed that all existing units are submitting semi-annual reports and conducting the required recordkeeping. | |||||||||||||||||||
d Cost per occurrence for energy audit professionals including an phone screening to discuss the facility prior to a visit, a 2 to 4 hour site visit, and an additional 2-4 hours to prepare a follow-up report on recommendations and findings. These site visits are assumed to be conducted by certified energy professionals. | |||||||||||||||||||
e Assumes facility must already maintain records on boiler insurance and/or maintenance schedule. No new record system would be required. | |||||||||||||||||||
f Only applies to large solid fuel boilers, because solid fuel boilers may fire a mix of non-homogeneous fuels. Assumed zero respondents for liquid and gas units. | |||||||||||||||||||
g Existing large liquid units are expected to determine compliance for Hg and HCl through fuel analysis not stack testing. | |||||||||||||||||||
h Units not equipped with PM CPMS wil perform stack testing for PM. | |||||||||||||||||||
j Annual testing is based on the number of existing units in the three years following promulgation of the November 20, 2015 final rule. | |||||||||||||||||||
k For on-going training activities to keep personnel updated in order to implement compliance activities. Assumes half of respondents will conduct training each year. | |||||||||||||||||||
l Tune-ups are required as work practice standards in lieu of dioxin/furan testing. While the rule provides flexibility to conduct less frequent tune-ups for large units that have a continuous oxygen trim system that maintains an optimum air to fuel ratio, the number of units with this configuration is unknown and the ICR conservatively assumes all large units will conduct tune-ups annually. | |||||||||||||||||||
m PM CPMS is required for coal boilers, biomass boilers which are not 100% biomass, and residual oil boilers which are >= 250 mmBtu/hr | |||||||||||||||||||
n The number of units expected to require each type of parameter monitoring are taken from the CEDRI data, December 2020, and represent the reported data on units utilizing each type of monitoring. | |||||||||||||||||||
o Includes enhanced recordkeeping provisions for demonstration of compliance with the alternative definition of "startup" (paragraph (2) of the definition) that document when useful thermal energy is provided, what fuels are used during startup, parametric monitoring data to verify relevant controls are engaged, and the time when PM controls are engaged. It is assumed that no one is using the compliance alternatives at this time. |

These site visits are assumed to be conducted by certified energy professionals. | |||||||||||||||||||||
e Assumes facility must already maintain records on boiler insurance and/or maintenance schedule. No new record system would be required. | |||||||||||||||||||||
f Since a tune-up is required biennially, every two years, the compliance reports for small units are also due every two years. Records of the tune-ups will be submitted to the Administrator upon request. | |||||||||||||||||||||
g Small units are not required to maintain records on startup, shutdown and malfunction. | |||||||||||||||||||||
h For on-going training activities to keep personnel updated in order to implement compliance activities. Assumes half of respondents will conduct training each year. | |||||||||||||||||||||
i Assumes a biennial tune-up is conducted on half of all units each year. Some very small boilers (<5mmBtu/hr) or limited use boilers which operate less than 100 hours annually qualify for tune-ups every five years, however they would still incur an initial tune-up. For the time period of this ICR, there will not be a difference in burden associated with biennial vs 5-year tune-ups for existing units. |

Assumptions | ||||||||||||||||||||||
a The burden on existing sources to refamiliarize themselves with the rule requirements is assumed at 10 hours. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
b Cost includes taking an inventory of facility equipment including age, operating schedules, square feet of the facility and other details necessary for preparing for the audit pre-screening, attending the energy audit, and reviewing audit report from the audit professional. Based on the distribution of facilities with affected boilers or process heaters, 87.4% of facilities are in the industrial sector while the remaining 12.6% of facilities are in the commercial sector. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
c It is assumed that the affected existing units have conducted an audit, developed an initial site-specific testing and monitoring plan, and submitted initial notifications following the compliance date of January 31, 2016. It is assumed that all existing units are submitting semi-annual reports and conducting the required recordkeeping. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
d Cost per occurrence for energy audit professionals including an phone screening to discuss the facility prior to a visit, a 2 to 4 hour site visit, and an additional 2-4 hours to prepare a follow-up report on recommendations and findings. These site visits are assumed to be conducted by certified energy professionals. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
e Assumes facility must already maintain records on boiler insurance and/or maintenance schedule. No new record system would be required. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
f Only applies to large solid fuel boilers, because solid fuel boilers may fire a mix of non-homogeneous fuels. Assumed zero respondents for liquid and gas units. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
g Existing large gas 2 units are expected to determine compliance through stack testing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
h Gas units are exempt from PM CPMS and opacity monitoring. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
i Number based on units which reported firing fuels other than natural or refinery gas. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
j The units firing other process gases other than natural gas, refinery gases or other on-spec gas 1 fuels have limits for PM, HCl, Hg, and CO and are subject to testing and monitoring requirements for each pollutant. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
k The recordkeeping and reporting requirements for natural gas fired units is to conduct an annual tune-up and document that the tune-up was completed. The documentation does not need to be submitted as a report unless requested by the Administrator. While the rule provides flexibility to conduct less frequent tune-ups for large units that have a continuous oxygen trim system that maintains an optimum air to fuel ratio, the number of units with this configuration is unknown and the ICR conservatively assumes all large units will conduct tune-ups annually. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
l Only facilities with process gas (gas 2 units) subject to numerical emission limits are expected to be required to submit semi-annual compliance reports. Natural gas and refinery gas units are required to submit reports annually. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
m Number based on 15.8% of the large gas 1 units using liquid instead of gas at some point. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
n For on-going training activities to keep personnel updated in order to implement compliance activities. Assumes half of respondents will conduct training each year. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
o Estimated number of units expected to require each type of parameter monitoring are consistent with the estimated number of units expected to install controls, as outlined in the memorandum: "Revised (November 2011) Methodology for Estimating Cost and Emissions Impacts for Industrial, Commercial, Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants – Major Source." | ||||||||||||||||||||||
p Includes enhanced recordkeeping provisions for demonstration of compliance with the alternative definition of "startup" (paragraph (2) of the definition) that document when useful thermal energy is provided, what fuels are used during startup, parametric monitoring data to verify relevant controls are engaged, and the time when PM controls are engaged. It is assumed that no one is using the compliance alternatives at this time. |

c Energy Audits are a requirement for existing units only. | ||||||||||||||||||
d Assumes facility must already maintain records on boiler insurance and/or maintenance schedule as part of their operations. No new record system would be required. | ||||||||||||||||||
e Only facilities with process gas (gas 2 units) subject to numerical emission limits are expected to be required to submit semi-annual compliance reports and conduct testing and monitoring (There will not be any new process gas units). Natural gas and refinery gas units are required to submit reports annually and conduct a tune-up. While the rule provides flexibility to conduct less frequent tune-ups for large units that have a continuous oxygen trim system that maintains an optimum air to fuel ratio, the number of units with this configuration is unknown and the ICR conservatively assumes all large units will conduct tune-ups annually. | ||||||||||||||||||
f Process gas units are expected to demonstrate compliance with a stack test instead of a fuel analysis. However no new process gas units were estimated. | ||||||||||||||||||
g For on-going training activities to keep personnel updated in order to implement compliance activities. Assumes all new respondents will conduct training. | ||||||||||||||||||
h Assume all units will fire natural gas, so fuel spec analysis not necessary. | ||||||||||||||||||
i Assumed no units would fire an alternative fuel. | ||||||||||||||||||
j Estimated number of units expected to require each type of parameter monitoring are consistent with the estimated number of units expected to install controls, as outlined in the memorandum: "Revised (November 2011) Methodology for Estimating Cost and Emissions Impacts for Industrial, Commercial, Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants – Major Source." |

Assumptions | |||||||||||||||||||
a The burden on existing sources to refamiliarize themselves with the rule requirements is assumed at 5 hours for small units. | |||||||||||||||||||
b Cost includes taking an inventory of facility equipment including age, operating schedules, square feet of the facility and other details necessary for preparing for the audit pre-screening, attending the energy audit, and reviewing audit report from the audit professional. Based on the distribution of facilities with affected boilers or process heaters, 88% of facilities are in the industrial sector while the remaining 12% of facilities are in the commercial sector. | |||||||||||||||||||
d Cost per occurrence for energy audit professionals including an phone screening to discuss the facility prior to a visit, a 2 to 4 hour site visit, and an additional 2-4 hours to prepare a follow-up report on recommendations and findings. These site visits are assumed to be conducted by certified energy professionals. | |||||||||||||||||||
e Assumes facility must already maintain records on boiler insurance and/or maintenance schedule. No new record system would be required. | |||||||||||||||||||
f Since a tune-up is required biennially, every two years, the compliance reports for small units are also due every two years. Records of the tune-ups will be submitted to the Administrator upon request. | |||||||||||||||||||
g Small units are not required to maintain records on startup, shutdown and malfunction. | |||||||||||||||||||
h For on-going training activities to keep personnel updated in order to implement compliance activities. Assumes half of respondents will conduct training each year. | |||||||||||||||||||
i Assumes a biennial tune-up is conducted on half of all units each year. Some very small boilers (<5mmBtu/hr) or limited use boilers which operate less than 100 hours annually qualify for tune-ups every five years, however they would still incur an initial tune-up. For the time period of this ICR, there will not be a difference in burden associated with biennial vs 5-year tune-ups for existing units. |

Four boilers would qualify for 5-year tune-ups and are thus not applicable to tune-ups in year 3. |
