Assumptions: | |||||||||||
a We assume there are 15 existing sources subject to the rule and 1 additional new source per year (one new respondent) will become subject to the rule during the three-year period of this ICR. | |||||||||||
b This ICR uses the following labor rates for privately-owned sources: $157.61 ($75.05 + 110%) for managerial, $123.94 ($59.02 + 110%) for technical, and $62.52 ($29.77 + 110%) 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. | |||||||||||
c We assume that all sources will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. | |||||||||||
d These are one-time only costs associated with the startup of a new source. We assume there will be 1 new respondent per year. | |||||||||||
e We assume that one-third of the facilities will petition for site-specific parameters. | |||||||||||
f We assume that 10 percent of the existing facilities would not have a qualified operator available for more than two weeks at least once a year (Note: each deviation requires 2 notifications, 1 for when the deviation occurs and 1 for when operation resumes). We also assume that each deviation will require only two status reports. | |||||||||||
g We assume that 10 percent of all facilities (both new and existing) would have a malfunction or an exceedance during the year. | |||||||||||
h Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |

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. | |||||||||||

f We assume that 10 percent of the existing facilities would not have a qualified operator available for more than two weeks at least once a year (Note: each deviation requires 2 notifications, 1 for when the deviation occurs and 1 for when operation resumes).
