Assumptions:










a We assume there are an average of 19,835 existing respondents and an additional 253 respondents will become subject to the rule each year.


b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $157.61, Technical $123.94, and Clerical $62.52. 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 all new and existing respondents will have to familiarize themselves with the regulatory requirements each year.


d It is assumed that 253 non-certified new engines will become subject to the rule each year over the 3-year period. Based on the estimated distribution of existing engines, it is assumed that 12 percent of new engines, will be rated at >500 hp and require initial notification. (253 x 12% = 30.36, rounded to 30)


e Previously certified engines > 500-hp are required to conduct subsequent performance tests either after 3 years or 8,760 hours of operation after the initial performance test. It is assumed that 12 percent of existing engines will be rated at > 500 hp and have previously had an initial performance test conducted and are now required to conduct a subsequent test over the next 3-year period.


f We assume it will take 16 hours per annual report based on ICR 1975.06 (NESHAP For Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ). In the 2007 Cost Impacts memo for this rule, EPA estimated that, based on information obtained from the Engine Manufacturers Association, emergency engines make up approximately 5 percent of the total SI population. EPA also assumed that only 50% of engines seek certification. Of the 253 new engines per year, approximately 2.5% (6.3) are non-certified and required to record hours in non-emergency operation. The number of non-certified emergency engines submitting reports has been incremented since the original ICR (421 respondents in year 1 of ICR #2227.02) to the number of 509 for year 2 of this ICR. We assume 5% of emergency stationary SI ICE will be required to report to conservatively estimate respondent burden for this activity. (509 x 0.05 = 25 (rounded))


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

Assumptions:










a We assume there are an average of 19,835 existing respondents per year and an additional 253 respondents will become subject to the rule each year.


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, $17.71 + 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 After full implementation, existing sources are no longer subject to these activities. It is assumed that 253 non-certified new engines will become subject to the rule each year over the 3-year period. Based on the estimated distribution of existing engines, it is assumed that 12 percent of new engines, will be rated at >500 hp and require initial notification. Additionally, previously certified engines > 500-hp are required to conduct subsequent performance tests either after 3 years or 8,760 hours of operation after the initial performance test. It is assumed that 12 percent of existing engines will be rated at > 500 hp and have previously had an initial performance test conducted and are now required to conduct a subsequent test over the next 3-year period. The agency is expected to experience burden from evaluating these new sources and subsequent testing of existing sources > 500 hp.


d We assume it will take 2 hours to review each annual report based on ICR 1975.06 (NESHAP For Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ). EPA estimates that emergency engines make up approximately 5 percent of the total SI population and that 50% of these emergency engines are non-certified and required to report hours in non-emergency operation. Of the 253 new engines per year, approximately 2.5% (6.3) are non-certified and required to record hours in non-emergency operation. The number of non-certified emergency engines submitting reports has been incremented since the original ICR (421 respondents in year 1 of ICR #2227.02) to the number of 509 for year 2 of this ICR. We assume 5% of emergency stationary SI ICE will be required to report to conservatively estimate respondent burden for this activity. (509 x 0.05 = 25 (rounded))


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

a O&M cost per occurrence for certifications for stationary was increased by 10.5459 percent from previous ICR# 2227.05 to account for the increase in the average annual consumer price index (https://www.bls.gov/cpi/#data) from 2017 to 2021. The original certification costs were estimated in Table 5.2.1-4 of the document, “Final Regulatory Support Document: Control of Emissions from Unregulated Non-road Engines.”

b The distribution of new engine types is based on the same distribution from the previously approved ICR.

c Previously certified engines > 500-hp are required to conduct subsequent performance tests either after 3-years or 8,760 hours of operation after the initial performance test. It is assumed that 12 percent of existing engines, or 2,380 existing engines, will be rated at > 500 hp, have previously had an initial performance test conducted, and are now required to conduct a subsequent test over the next 3-year period.

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