Assumptions:
a EPA estimates an average of 14 existing coke plants will operate 47 coke oven batteries over the next 3 years. Of these plants, 9 will operate 27 by-product batteries and 5 will operate 20 non‑recovery batteries.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $130.28 (technical), 163.17 (managerial), and $65.71 (clerical). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2022, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” They have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c This burden applies to new sources only. All existing sources have previously submitted initial compliance certifications.
d No reconstructions are assumed to occur during the 3-year ICR period.
e This burden applies to new sources only. All existing sources have previously submitted this notification.
f None of the plants with cokeside sheds have applied for the alternative door standard.
g No facilities are anticipated to permanently close over the 3-year ICR period.
h None of the plants have batteries on cold idle.
i Submittal of reports through the EPA's CEDRI in ERT format is estimated to require 2 hours.
j EPA expects 10% of the 9 by-product plants (0.9 plants) to experience a venting episode where emissions are released through bypass/bleeder stacks without flaring, requiring notification and a written report.
k Daily performance tests are conducted by a certified observer provided by the State enforcement agency for each emission point on each battery. Respondents reimburse States through permit fees. Based on an average of 3 coke ovens batteries per plant, the total person hours for inspections is estimated to be 8.25 hours, using the cost formula for calculating reimbursement costs included in the rule.
l This burden includes the indirect costs to respondents to provide certification to the observer provided by the State enforcement agency, or its contractor, including a 3-day EPA certification course.
m Owners or operators of five existing heat and /or non-recovery plants are required to either conduct leak detection procedures or monitor oven pressure daily. These plants have elected to monitor pressure.
n The promulgated rule amendments (70 FR 19992, April 15, 2005) require visible emission observations of doors for four heat and/or non-recovery plants that are not on the lowest achievable emissions rate (LAER) extension track.
o Owners or operators of four existing heat and/or non-recovery plants are required to implement specified work practices for the control of emissions from charging operations and to document the performance of each procedure.
p All 9 by-product coke plants must install and maintain flares.
q None of the plants with cokeside sheds have applied for the alternative door standard.
r Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
