Assumptions |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a EPA estimates 142 existing major sources and 88 existing incidental/area sources will be subject to the standard. No new major or area sources will become subject over the next 3 years, therefore the one-time notification of applicability requirement does not apply. Modified or reconstructed sources will submit their applicability notifications as part of their notifications of construction or modification. We assume that each source subject to the standard will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. |
|
|
|
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $163.17 ($77.70 + 110%) per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $130.28 ($62.04 + 110%) per hour for Technical labor, and $65.71 ($31.29 + 110%) per hour for Clerical labor. 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 EPA assumes 3% of existing major sources will apply for reconstruction (142 x 0.03 = 4, after rounding) and 10% will apply for modification (142 x 0.1 = 14, after rounding). Of these 18 sources, 10% of the sources (rounded to 2 sources) will comply using control devices and be required to submit notification of the performance test. |
|
|
|
d EPA does not estimate any sources will need to report a notification of increased annual VHAP usage. |
|
|
|
e EPA assumes 90% of sources will comply by using compliant coatings or by using the HAP averaging approach (142 x 0.9 = 128, after rounding ). |
|
|
|
f EPA assumes 10% of sources will comply by using control devices. However, only 95% are assumed to be in compliance at any given time, and would be required to submit reports semiannually rather than quarterly. Therefore, the number of affected sources submitting semiannual reports is 13 (142 x 0.1 x 0.95 = 13, after rounding). |
|
|
|
g EPA assumes 1 source will submit quarterly reports (142 x 0.1 x (1 - 0.095) = 1, after rounding). |
|
|
|
h This is a one-time requirement. EPA assumes only the reconstructed or modified sources will require this plan to be created or updated to reflect new operations. Other sources are assumed to already have a plan on file. This plan is not required to be submitted, but only kept on-site as a record. |
|
|
|
i Records of applicability is a one-time requirement. EPA assumes only the reconstructed or modified sources will require to create this record. Other existing sources have previously created this record. |
|
|
|
j EPA assumes all major sources will record information once per month. |
|
|
|
k EPA estimates 52 major sources will use coatings containing formaldehyde. These sources will be required to record the formaldehyde content of their coatings on a monthly basis. Reporting of formaldehyde content will occur on an annual basis and will coincide with existing reporting requirements mentioned above. Therefore, the only burden incurred by sources will be that of documenting the information. |
|
|
|
l EPA assumes 10% of affected sources will use control devices to comply with the standard (142 x 0.1 = 14, after rounding). |
|
|
|
m EPA assumes that of the 90% of affected sources that use the compliant coatings or emissions averaging approach, 25% will use the HAP averaging approach and must keep the records to support the calculations (142 x 0.9 x 0.25 = 32 , after rounding). |
|
|
|
n EPA assumes all major sources will participate in the annual personnel refresher course once per year and record the training participation. |
|
|
|
o EPA assumes all major sources will conduct monthly inspections and maintain records of these and other work practices. |
|
|
|
p EPA assumes that 10% of all sources using control devices (142 x 0.1 x 0.1 = 1, when rounded) will have startup, shutdown, or malfunction records to document once per month. |
|
|
|
q EPA assumes 88 affected incidental/area sources per year will record information once per month in order to demonstrate they are an area source, pursuant to 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart JJ, 63.800(b)(1)-(3). |

Assumptions |
|
|
|
a EPA estimates 142 existing major sources and 88 existing incidental/area sources will be subject to the standard. No new major or area sources will become subject over the 3-year period of this ICR. |
|
|
|
b The cost is based on the following labor rate which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses. Managerial rates of $73.46 (GS-13, Step 5, $45.91 + 60%), Technical rate of $54.51 (GS-12, Step 1, $34.07 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $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 EPA assumes 3% of existing major sources will apply for reconstruction (142 x 0.03 = 4, after rounding) and 10% will apply for modification (142 x 0.1 = 14, after rounding). Of these 18 sources, 10% of the sources (rounded to 2 sources) will comply using control devices and be required to submit notification of the performance test. |
|
|
|
d EPA does not estimate any sources will need to report a notification of increased annual VHAP usage. |
|
|
|
e EPA assumes 90% of sources will comply by using compliant coatings or by using the HAP averaging approach (142 x 0.9 = 128, after rounding ). |
|
|
|
f EPA assumes 10% of sources will comply by using control devices. However, only 95% are assumed to be in compliance at any given time, and would be required to submit reports semiannually rather than quarterly. Therefore, the number of affected sources submitting semiannual reports is 13 (142 x 0.1 x 0.95 = 13, after rounding). |
|
|
|
g EPA assumes 1 source will submit quarterly reports (406 x 0.1 x (1 - 0.095) = 1, after rounding). |
|
|
|
h EPA estimates 52 major sources will use coatings containing formaldehyde. These sources will be required to record the formaldehyde content of their coatings on a monthly basis. Reporting of formaldehyde content will occur on an annual basis and will coincide with existing reporting requirements. Therefore, the only burden incurred by sources will be that of recording the information. |
