Assumptions: | |||||||||||||
a We have assumed that there is an annual average of 871 sources currently subject to the regulations, including 824 existing respondents, and an additional 47 respondents per year who will become subject to the standards. This ICR assumes the industry continues to grow at a constant rate since the previous renewal. | 777 was 683 before | ||||||||||||
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 percent to account for varying industry wage rates and the additional overhead business costs of employing workers beyond their wages and benefits, including business expenses associated with hiring, training, and equipping their employees. | 871 | ||||||||||||
c We have assumed that it will take 4 hours for respondents to familiarize with regulatory requirements and that all sources will have to familiarize with requlatory requirements. | 824 average was 730 before | ||||||||||||
d We have assumed that 237 respondents will each take 12 hours to conduct annual stack testing to demonstrate compliance with NOx emission limitation. | was 199 | 3.67 | 237 | ||||||||||
e We have assumed that 126 respondents will each take 0.5 hours 52 times per year to complete fuel sampling for the dual fuel turbines. | was 106 | 6.89 | 126 | ||||||||||
f We have assumed that eight respondents will each take 0.5 hours 5 times per year to complete the fuel sampling for the distillate oil only turbines. | was 7 | 104 | 8 | ||||||||||
g We have assumed that it will take each new respondent 2 hours to write notification report. | |||||||||||||
h We have assumed that this is a one-time report for new respondents. | |||||||||||||
i We have assumed that of the 47 new respondents each year, 15 of these respondents will write reports demonstrating CEMS compliance. | |||||||||||||
j We have assumed that each of the respondents will take 8 hours twice per year to write the compliance report. | |||||||||||||
k The average number of existing respondents is 824. | |||||||||||||
l We have assumed that it will take each respondent 5 hours twelve times per year to record information. | |||||||||||||
m Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |

a We have assumed that there is an average of 824 sources currently subject to the regulations and an additional 47 respondents per year will become subject. The ICR assumes the industry continues to grow at a constant rate since the previous renewal. | |||||||||||||
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $70.56 per hour for Managerial labor; $52.37 per hour for Technical labor, and $28.34 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2022 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60% to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. | |||||||||||||
c We have assumed that new respondents will take one hour each to review the notification of construction/reconstruction report. | |||||||||||||
d We have assumed that it will take 0.5 hours for new respondents to review the actual startup report. | |||||||||||||
e We have assumed that of the 47 new respondents, only 15 of these respondents will review the notification of demonstration of CEMS report. | |||||||||||||
f We have assumed that it will take 2 hours once per year to review the compliance report. | |||||||||||||
g Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |
The only type of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the regulations are labor costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs. |
