| Compliance with the CAR is a voluntary alternative. Sources may continue to comply with existing applicable rules or may choose to comply with the consolidated rule. All existing sources must be in compliance with the requirements of the CAR and/or its referencing Subparts within three years of the effective date (i.e., promulgation date) of the appropriate standard for the affected source. All new sources must be in compliance with the requirements of the CAR and/or its referencing Subparts upon startup or the promulgation date of standards for an affected source, whichever is later. | ||||||||||
| Assumptions included in ICR No. 1854.07 add: “Compliance with the CAR is a voluntary alternative. Sources may continue to comply with existing applicable rules or may choose to comply with the consolidated rule. When preparing renewals for the CAR, or the referencing subparts, estimates are made of the percentage of existing sources that will opt to comply with the CAR in lieu of the referencing subparts. Because the CAR is designed for, although not limited to, SOCMI facilities, the number of facilities opting to comply with the CAR is based on the estimated number of SOCMI facilities. It is estimated that 10 percent of non-Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON) sources will opt to comply with the CAR if the per-source burden of complying with the CAR is less than the per-source burden of complying with the referencing subpart. For those referencing subparts for which the per-source burden of complying with the CAR is higher than the per-source burden of complying with the referencing subpart (subparts Ka, Kb, Y, VV, VVa, III, NNN, RRR, and DDD), it is estimated that 5 percent of sources will opt to comply with the CAR. It is also estimated that 10 percent of HON sources will opt to comply with the CAR. It is assumed that all new sources will initially comply with the appropriate referencing subpart.“ | ||||||||||

| a This table provides estimates on a per-source basis, rather than a per-facility basis. Therefore, estimates correlate to (as described in the footnote to the appropriate Table), but do not match, facility entries in the reference subpart burden tables (Tables F-1 through F-12, and G-1 through G-13). For the purposes of this ICR, a source is defined as: | ||||||||||||
| - One storage vessel (subparts Ka, Kb, Y, and G); | ||||||||||||
| - One process vent (subparts DDD, III, NNN, RRR, and G); | ||||||||||||
| - The collection of subject equipment for one process unit (subparts VV, VVa, V, and H and I); or | ||||||||||||
| - One transfer rack (subparts BB and G). | ||||||||||||
| b Based on the number of sources per facility from the most recently approved CAR ICR. Because the CAR is designed for, although not limited to, SOCMI facilities, the number of facilities opting to comply with the CAR is based on the estimated number of SOCMI facilities. It is estimated that 10 percent of non-Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON) sources will opt to comply with the CAR if the per-source burden of complying with the CAR is less than the per-source burden of complying with the referencing subpart. For those referencing subparts for which the per-source burden of complying with the CAR is higher than the per-source burden of complying with the referencing subpart (subparts Ka, Kb, Y, VV, VVa, III, NNN, RRR, and DDD), it is estimated that 5 percent of sources will opt to comply with the CAR. It is also estimated that 10 percent of HON sources will opt to comply with the CAR. Numbers of sources are rounded to the nearest whole number. | ||||||||||||

| Assumptions: | |||||||||||||
| a The HON, the basis for the CAR burden estimate, requires connector monitoring. Sources originally complying with subpart V or VV will not be required to perform connector monitoring. Connector monitoring for these facilities is the average of the per source burden for subparts V and VV. The average for subparts V and VV is 294 hours, 40.9 percent less than the HON-based estimate. Per-source estimates for each burden item were estimated by multiplying the HON-based estimate by 40.9 percent. | |||||||||||||
| b From the most recently approved CAR ICR. | |||||||||||||
| c Total burden for each source type is the product of the per-source burden and the total number of sources estimated to opt to comply with the CAR. The estimated numbers of sources to comply with the CAR is from the most recently approved ICR and are detailed in Table 4: | |||||||||||||

| (C) Technical hours per year per respondent are the total technical hours for a burden item as estimated in Table 5, divided by 21 facilities. | ||||||||
| (D) Estimated technical hours per year are the total technical hours for all facilities for each burden item, as estimated in Table 5. | ||||||||
| (E) Estimated managerial hours per year are assumed to be 5 percent of technical hours. | ||||||||
| (F) Estimated clerical hours per year are assumed to be 10 percent of technical hours. | ||||||||
| (G) Annual Cost is the sum of costs for technical, managerial, and clerical hours. This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $163.17 ($77.70 + 110%); Technical $130.28 ($62.04 + 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. | ||||||||

| Assumptions: | ||||||||
| a Assume that there will be no new source subject to the requirements of this regulation. Similar new sources will be subject to NSPS Subpart Kb. There are 10 existing sources with an average of 50 tanks per facility. | ||||||||
| 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%). 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), 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 One-time only activity required at start of construction. Any new storage vessel being constructed would be subject to NSPS Subpart Kb. | ||||||||
| d Estimate that 10 percent of respondents (1) will use a vapor recovery control system and 90 percent of respondents (9) will use a floating roof system. Respondents using vapor recovery control are not required to do seal gap measurements. All tanks using floating roof system (9) will perform a secondary seal gap measurement. Twenty percent of respondents (2) will conduct a primary seal gap measurement. Total respondents submitting a notification of either primary or secondary gap measurement: 9 + 2 = 11. | ||||||||
| e Assume that 3 percent of respondents submitting a notification of either primary or secondary gap measurement (11) will have excessive seal gaps (primary or secondary) requiring that a single report be filed once every three years. (11 x 0.03 = 0.33) | ||||||||

| Assumptions: | ||||||||
| a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to revised requirements will be 385 per year. This is based on our estimate of 3,500 existing IFR storage vessels subject to the NSPS. | ||||||||
| 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%). 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), 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 estimate that 90% of existing and new respondents ((385+0) x 0.9 = 347) will choose visual inspections. We estimate 10 percent failure rate for the 347 respondents choosing annual visual inspections, yielding 35 reports. (347 x 0.1 = 35 (rounded)). | ||||||||
| d Estimate 10 percent of failed IFRs either are delayed in repair or are emptied, yielding 3.5 notifications per year. | ||||||||
| e We assumed degassing would occur every 20 years for maintenance in the absence of the internal inspection requirement. Without the internal inspection requirement, there would be 175 degassing and emptying events per year (3500/20). | ||||||||

| Assumptions: | ||||||||
| a Assume that there will be no new source subject to the requirements of this regulation. Similar new sources will be subject to NSPS Subpart Kb. There are 10 existing sources with an average of 50 tanks per facility. | ||||||||
| b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $163.17 ($77.70 + 110%); Technical $130.28 ($62.04 + 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 This ICR assumes all existing respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. | ||||||||
| d Estimate that 10 percent of respondents (1) will use a vapor recovery control system and 90 percent (9) will use a floating roof system. Respondents using vapor recovery control are not required to do seal gap measurements. All tanks using floating roof system (9) will perform a secondary seal gap measurement. Twenty percent (2) will conduct a primary seal gap measurement. Total respondents submitting a notification of either primary or secondary gap measurement: 9 + 2 = 11. | ||||||||
| e Assume that 3 percent of respondents submitting a notification of either primary or secondary gap measurement (11) will have excessive seal gaps (primary or secondary) requiring that a report be filed once every three years. | ||||||||
| f Estimate five hours to conduct secondary seal gap measurements annually for the average 50 tanks per respondent. | ||||||||
| g Estimate two hours to conduct primary seal measurements every five years for the average 50 tanks per respondent (10 tanks per respondent per year). | ||||||||
| h During any one year, a respondent would change liquid at approximately 20 percent of all facilities (35). | ||||||||

| e For each of the 3,500 IFRs associated with the 385 existing respondents, we estimate that 90 percent (385 x 0.9 = 347) will conduct an annual visual inspection, while 10 percent (385 x 0.1 = 39, rounded) will conduct an internal inspection. These activities are required to generate the information for the IFR failure report and EFR primary and secondary seal gap reports, but do not require response. | ||||||||
| f We estimate that 90% of existing and new respondents ((385+0) x 0.9 = 347) will choose visual inspections. We estimate 10 percent failure rate for the 347 respondents choosing annual visual inspections, yielding 35 reports. (347 x 0.1 = 35 (rounded)). | ||||||||
| g Estimate 10 percent of the 35 failed IFRs either are delayed in repair or are emptied, yielding 3.5 notifications per year. | ||||||||
| h We assumed degassing would occur every 20 years for maintenance in the absence of the internal inspection requirement. Without the internal inspection requirement, there would be 175 degassing and emptying events per year (3500/20). | ||||||||

| Assumptions: | ||||||||
| a We estimate an average of 54 existing facilities will be subject to the standard, and that no new sources will become subject over the next three years. We estimate 3 tank truck/railcars and 131 marine vessels are subject to the standards. We assume 50 percent of marine vessels (66) operate at negative pressure and do not conduct annual vapor-tightness tests. We also assume all other transfer racks subject to subpart BB are complying with the HON. | ||||||||
| b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $163.17 ($77.70 + 110%); Technical $130.28 ($62.04 + 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 This ICR assumes all existing respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. | ||||||||
| d For sources below the low quantity applicability for control requirements, a report is only required the first year of operation. We assume existing sources previously have submitted this report. | ||||||||
