Assumptions: | |||||||||||
a We have assumed that the annual average number of respondents that will be subject to this rule will be 27. There will be no new additional sources during the next three years of this ICR. | |||||||||||
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 We have assumed that there will be no new or reconstructed facilities during the next three years of this ICR, and these one-time initial requirements do not apply; however, the ICR estimates that all existing sources will have changes in their operations. | |||||||||||
d We have assumed that 20 percent of new respondents would have to repeat initial performance tests due to failure. Since there are no new respondents estimated, no one is assumed to conduct a repeat test. | |||||||||||
e We have assumed that each source will require an average of three processing changes each year over the next three years of this ICR. | |||||||||||
f We have assumed that each respondent will take 40 hours two times per year to complete the startup, shutdown, malfunction reports. | |||||||||||
g We have assumed that 90 percent of respondents will each take eight hours two times per year to complete the no deviation report. | |||||||||||
h We have assumed that 10 percent of respondents will each take 24 hours two times per year to complete the deviation report. | |||||||||||
i We have assumed that it will take each respondent 432 hours two times per year to complete the LDAR report. | |||||||||||
j We have assumed that ten percent of respondents will each take 20 hours two times per year to complete the emissions averaging report. | |||||||||||
k We have assumed that it will take each respondent 1 hour 365 times per year to record the operating parameters for control devices. | |||||||||||
l We have assumed that it will take each respondent 2 hours 26 times per year to record the occurrence and duration of each malfunction. | |||||||||||
m We have assumed that it will take each respondent 16 hours one time per year to record the calibration of CMS. |

n 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 respondents that will be subject to this rule will be 27. There will be no new additional sources during the next three years of this ICR. | |||||||||||
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 have assumed that there will be no new or reconstructed facilities during the next three years of this ICR, and these one-time initial requirements do not apply. | |||||||||||
d We have assumed that 20 percent of respondents would have to repeat performance tests due to failure. Since there are no new respondents estimated, no one is assumed to conduct a repeat test. | |||||||||||
e We have assumed that 50 percent of new facilities will submit a pre-compliance report. | |||||||||||
f We have assumed that 10 percent of existing facilities will have to comply with emission averaging requirements; however, this is a one-time requirement; new facilities are not allowed to use emissions averaging. | |||||||||||
g We have assumed that 90 percent of respondents will report no deviations. | |||||||||||
h We have assumed that 10 percent of respondents will have to report deviations. | |||||||||||
i We have assumed that each respondent will be required to submit the physical/operational changes three times per year over the next three-year period of this ICR. | |||||||||||
j We have assumed that each respondent will report actions on malfunction that are consistent. | |||||||||||
k We have assumed that each respondent will have to comply with the LDAR report two times per year. | |||||||||||
l We have assumed that 10 percent of respondents will submit the emission averaging report. | |||||||||||
