a Assumes an average of 6 private respondents and 2.33 affected facilities (i.e., sources or units) per respondent [14 facilities at 6 plants; 14/6 = 2.33]. | ||||||||||||
b No additional facilities will become subject to the standard over the next three years. | ||||||||||||
c This ICR uses the following labor rates: $153.55 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $122.20 per hour for Technical labor, and $61.51 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2021, Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. | ||||||||||||
d Relative accuracy test audits (RATA) occur once per year for each affected facility (1 x 2.33 = 2.33). RATA are performed for one of the four quarterly audits. RAA tests are performed for three of the four quarterly audits. Audits of the diluent monitor (O2 or CO2) are not required because tests on SO2 and CO monitors will incorporate the use of the diluent monitor. | ||||||||||||
e Relative accuracy audits (RAA) occur three times per year for each affected facility (3 x 2.33 = 6.99). | ||||||||||||
f Daily calibration and operation data occurs daily [365 x 2.33 = 850 (Rounded)]. | ||||||||||||
g Assumes 10 percent of private sources (0.6) have affected facilities with excess emissions and must submit two semiannual reports. | ||||||||||||
h Assumes 47 weeks of operation (90 percent availability) per year per facility. | ||||||||||||
