| Assumptions: |
| a. We have assumed that there are approximately 2 respondents subject to the rule, with no new sources expected over the next three-years of this ICR. |
| b. This ICR uses the following labor rates: Technical $103.97 ($49.51 + 110%); Managerial $129.93 ($61.87+ 110%); and Clerical $51.79 ($24.66 + 110%). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2014, “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 the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. This ICR assumes that Managerial hours are 5 percent of Technical hours, and Clerical hours are 10 percent of Technical hours. |
|
DWang:
changed from "We assume that there will be no new sources over the 3-year period of this ICR." (This comment used to be on cell A8, moved to cell A9)
c. We assumed that each respondent will spend one hour each year to read and understand the rule requirements. |
| d. As specified in the general provisions each performance test shall consist of three separate runs using the applicable test method. Sources are required to use Method 9 published in the 11th edition of the Official Methods of analysis of the Association of Official analytical Chemists dates 1970. Each run shall be conducted for the time and under the conditions specified in the applicable rule. The particulate matter concentration and volumetric flow rate of the effluent gas shall be determined by Method 5 which requires a sampling time and a sample volume for each run of at least 60 minutes and 1.50 dscm (53 dscf). |
| e. We assume that 20 percent of initial performance tests must be repeated due to failure. |
| f. We have assumed that it will take each respondent 16 hours twice per year to complete the semiannual reports. |
| g. Sources are required to maintain a daily record of operating parameters. We assume records will be recorded 365 days per year. |
| h. Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |

| Assumptions: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| a. We have assumed that there are approximately 2 respondents subject to the rule, with no new sources expected over the next three-years of this ICR. |
| b. This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows: Technical $46.67 (GS-12, Step 1, $29.17 + 60%); Managerial $62.90 (GS-13, Step 5, $39.31 + 60%); and Clerical $25.25 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.78 + 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 OPM, 2014 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 assume that EPA personnel will attend initial performance tests. |
| d. We assume that 20 percent of initial performance test must be repeated due to failure. |
|
DWang:
Changed from "We have assumed that it will take each respondent 16 hours twice per year to complete the semiannual reports."
e. We have assumed that it will take 8 hours to review each semiannual report. |
| f. Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |
