Assumptions:










a We have assumed that the average number of existing respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 345. There will be 11 additional new sources per year that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR, for a total of 356 respondents.


b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $163.17 ($77.70+ 110%); Technical $130.28 (562.04 + 110%); and Clerical $65.71 ($31.29 + 110%). 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.” 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 have assumed that existing respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year.










d We have assumed that four new respondents will each take two hours to write notification of construction/reconstruction report.










e We have assumed that seven new respondents will each take two hours to write notification of modification report.










f We have assumed that occurrences/respondents for new facilities are based on an average of 1.7 affected facilities per respondent, with an estimated 10 percent retest.










g We have assumed that all new respondents will each take 16 hours to write the semiannual report two times per year.










h This estimate includes performance test (opacity) for coal, wood, and oil-fired steam generating units and test of continuous emissions monitor.










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

Assumptions:


a We have assumed that the average number of existing respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 345. There will be 11 additional new sources per year that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR, for a total of 356 respondents.


b This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows: Managerial $73.46 (GS-13, Step 5, $45.91 + 60%); Technical $54.51 (GS-12, Step 1, $34.07 + 60%); and Clerical $29.50 (GS-6, Step 3, $18.44 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2023 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 We have assumed that occurrences/respondent for new facilities are based on an average of 1.7 affected facilities per respondent.










d We have assumed that it will take 8 hours two times per year to review each semiannual report.










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

a Number of respondents with O&M (575 units) represents an annual average of 356 existing facilities, multiplied by an average of 1.7 affected units per facility, less an annual average of 31 units requiring inlet and outlet monitoring [356 x 1.7 = 605.2 - 31 = 574.2, rounded to 574 units]. Number of respondents with capital costs (19 units) represents an average of 11 new facilities per year, multiplied by an average of 1.7 affected units per facility [11 x 1.7 = 18.7, rounded to 19 units].










b Number of respondents with O&M (147 units) represents an annual average of 142.4 existing affected facilities that require COMS, plus an average of 4.4 new affected facilities per year that require COMS [142.4/356 × 11 = 4.4 new affected facilities per year that require COMS; 142.4 + 4.4 = 146.8, rounded to 147 facilities that require COMS] Number of respondents with capital costs (7 units) represents an average of 4.4 new affected facilities per year that require COMS, multiplied by an average of 1.7 affected units per facility [4.4 x 1.7 = 7.48, rounded to 7 units].










c Costs have been increased from 2007 to 2022 $ using the CEPCI Equipment Cost Index.










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