|
hr/response |
|
| a We have assumed that there are approximately 200 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: $157.61 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $123.94 per hour for Technical labor, and $62.52 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 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% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. |
|
|
|
| c We have assumed that it will take twenty-eight hours for each new respondent to perform the initial performance test. |
|
|
|
| d We have assumed that 20 percent of respondents would repeat performance test due to failure. |
|
|
|
| e Applies to new or reconstructed sources. There are no additional new or reconstructed sources anticipated to become subject to the rule over the next three years. |
|
|
|
| f We have assumed that each respondent will take one hour to record information on startup, shutdown, malfunction. |
|
|
|
| g Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |

|
|
|
|
| a We have assumed that there are approximately 200 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 which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: Managerial rate of $70.56 (GS-13, Step 5, $44.10 + 60%), Technical rate of $52.37 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.73 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $26.34 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.17 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2022 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay. |
|
|
|
| c We have assumed that it will take twenty-four hours for each new respondent to perform the initial performance test. |
|
|
|
| d We have assumed that 20 percent of new respondents would repeat performance test due to failure. |
|
|
|
| e Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |
