Assumptions:













a We have assumed that are approximately 5 out of 11 secondary brass and bronze ingots production plants subject to NSPS Subpart M. We have further assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.


b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $157.61 ($75.05 + 110%); Technical $123.94 ($59.02 + 110%); and Clerical $62.52 ($29.77 + 110%). 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.


c Initial rule requirements would apply only to new sources. We have assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.


d We have assumed that 20 percent of initial performance tests must be repeated due to failure.


e Sources are required to use the following Reference Methods (RM) in conducting performance tests, if applicable: 1) RM 5 for particulate matter concentrations and volumetric flow rate of the effluent gas (all subparts); 2) RM 9 for visible emissions observations of opacity.


f Section 60.11 of the General Provisions allows sources to use a continuous opacity monitor (COM) in lieu of Method 9 to determine compliance with the opacity standard. However, we have assumed that all sources will use RM 9.


g Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS subpart M are not required to submit semiannual reports.


h Sources are required to maintain records of startups, shutdowns and malfunctions including periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative, and of emission test results, continuous monitoring system data including, performance test results and other data needed to determine compliance with mass and visible emission limits.


i Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:


a It is estimated that six primary pyrometallic copper smelters (Subpart P), one primary pryrometallurgical zinc smelter (Subpart Q), and zero primary pryrometallurgical lead smelter (Subpart R) are currently subject to the NSPS standards, which totals 7 respondents. The affected units at the primary lead smelter are shutdown, and only 7 respondents will have burden associated with this rule. We have further assumed that no additional sources will become subject to the standard in the next three years.


b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $157.61 ($75.05 + 110%); Technical $123.94 ($59.02 + 110%); and Clerical $62.52 ($29.77 + 110%). 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.


c Initial rule requirements would apply only to new sources. We have assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.


d We have assumed that 20 percent of initial performance tests must be repeated due to failure.


e Sources are required to use the following Reference Methods (RM) in conducting performance tests, if applicable: 1) RM 5 for particulate matter concentrations and volumetric flow rate of the effluent gas (all subparts); 2) RM 9 for visible emissions observations of opacity. Sources are expected to conduct the visible emissions observation of opacity during the initial performance test.


f Section 60.11 of the General Provisions allows sources to use a continuous opacity monitor (COM) in lieu of Method 9 to determine compliance with the opacity standard. We have assumed that all sources are using COMs. In addition, we assume the sources are using continuous monitoring systems (CMS) to monitor other parameters.


g Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS subparts P, Q, and R are required to submit semiannual reports.


h Sources are required to maintain records of monitoring of operations including startups, shutdowns and malfunctions including periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative, emission test results, continuous monitoring system data including, performance test results and other data needed to determine compliance with mass and visible emission limits.


i Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:


a It is estimated that there are currently 7 primary aluminum facilities, of which 6 are operating. Within those facilities there are a total of 22 potlines, of which 15 are operating. Similarly, there are 7 anode plants, of which 6 are operating; and 12 bake furnaces, of which 9 are operating. Based on information collected by the agency, we assume all potroom and anode facilities are and will comply with the Subpart LL MACT rather than the NSPS. We have further assumed that no additional sources per year will become subject to the NSPS standard in the next three years.


b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $157.61 ($75.05 + 110%); Technical $123.94 ($59.02 + 110%); and Clerical $62.52 ($29.77 + 110%). 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.


c Initial rule requirements would apply only to new sources. We have assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.


d The rule requires sources to conduct a monthly performance test after the initial test and requires them to provide a 15 days advance notice of each test, except for the two sources specified in the rule that were allowed to conduct an annual performance test. We have further assumed that only 10 percent of the performance tests will have to be repeated.


e Sources are required to use the following Reference Methods (RM) in conducting performance tests, if applicable: 1) RM 5 for particulate matter concentrations and volumetric flow rate of the effluent gas; and 2) RM 9 for visible emissions observations of opacity.


f Section 60.11 of the General Provisions allows sources to use a continuous opacity monitor (COM) in lieu of Method 9 to determine compliance with the opacity standard. We have assumed that all sources are complying with the standard using RM 9, however, the sources are using continuous monitoring systems (CMS) to monitor other parameters.


g Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS subpart S are required to submit semiannual reports.


h Sources are required to maintain records of their operations including records of startups, shutdowns and malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative, emission test results, performance test results and other operational data needed to determine compliance with mass and visible emission standards.


i Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:


a It is estimated that 2 out of 7 ferroalloy production facilities nationwide is subject to the NSPS Subpart Z standards. We have further assumed that no additional sources per year will become subject to the NSPS standard in the next three years.


b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $157.61 ($75.05 + 110%); Technical $123.94 ($59.02 + 110%); and Clerical $62.52 ($29.77 + 110%). 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.


c Initial rule requirements would apply only to new sources. We have assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.


d We have assumed that 20 percent of initial performance tests must be repeated due to failure.


e Sources are required to use the following Reference Methods (RM) in conducting performance tests, if applicable: 1) RM 5 for particulate matter concentrations and volumetric flow rate of the effluent gas; 2) RM 9 for visible emissions observations of opacity.


f Section 60.11of the General Provisions allows sources to use a continuous opacity monitor (COM) in lieu of Method 9 to determine compliance with the opacity standard. We have assumed that all sources are using COMs. In addition, we assume the sources are using continuous monitoring systems (CMS) to monitor other parameters.


g We have assumed that neither source will have a product change over the 3 year period of the ICR.


h Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS Subpart Z are required to submit semiannual reports.


i Sources are required to maintain records of operations including startups, shutdowns and malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative, emission test results, and continuous monitoring system data including, performance test results and other data needed to determine compliance with mass and visible emission limits.


j Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a We have assumed that there are approximately five secondary brass and bronze producers subject to the NSPS subpart M standard and that no new sources will become subject to the NSPS standard in the next three years.
b This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows: Managerial $70.56 (GS-13, Step 5, $44.10 + 60%); Technical $52.37 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.73 + 60%); and Clerical $28.34 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.17 + 60%). This ICR assumes that Managerial hours are 5 percent of Technical hours, and Clerical hours are 10 percent of Technical hours. 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 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees.
c Initial rule requirements would apply only to new sources. We have assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.
d Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS Subpart M are not required to submit semiannual reports.
e The time required to attend a performance test per plant is estimated to be approximately 24 hours (1 day).
f Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

We have further assumed that no additional sources will become subject to the standard in the next three years.
b This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows: Managerial $70.56 (GS-13, Step 5, $44.10 + 60%); Technical $52.37 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.73 + 60%); and Clerical $28.34 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.17 + 60%). This ICR assumes that Managerial hours are 5 percent of Technical hours, and Clerical hours are 10 percent of Technical hours. 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 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees.
c Initial rule requirements would apply only to new sources. We have assumed that no new sources will become subject to the rule over the three year period of this ICR.
d Only existing sources using a continuous monitoring system (i.e., a COM or a continuous parameter monitoring system) are required to submit semiannual reports. Therefore, sources subject to NSPS subparts P, Q and R are required to submit semiannual reports.
e The time required to attend a performance test per plant is estimated to be approximately 24 hours (1 day).
f Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

a It is estimated that six primary pyrometallic copper smelters (Subpart P), one primary pryrometallurgical zinc smelter (Subpart Q), and zero primary pryrometallurgical lead smelter (Subpart R) are currently subject to the NSPS standards, which totals 7 respondents.

b It is estimated that there are currently 7 primary aluminum facilities, of which 6 are operating. Within those facilities there are a total of 22 potlines, of which 15 are operating. Similarly, there are 7 anode plants, of which 6 are operating; and 12 bake furnaces, of which 9 are operating. We assume all facilities will comply with the Subpart LL MACT rather than the NSPS. We have further assumed that no additional sources per year will become subject to the NSPS standard in the next three years.

c Totals have been rounded to 3 significant digits. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
