Assumptions:
a EPA estimates an average of 12 existing facilities and no new or modified facilities per year will be subject to the NESHAP over the next 3 years. In addition to the 12 active facilities there is one inactive facility that has been idled since 2013. We assume that each source subject to the standard will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. Since there are no new or modified/reconstructed facilities expected the notifications for startup, intention to construct/reconstruct, notification of applicability and notification of initial compliance will not occur during this three-year ICR period.														22.82
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $112.98 (technical), $149.35 (managerial), and $54.81 (clerical). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2017, “Table 2. Civilian workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” They have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c Testing frequency was assumed as follows, based on rule requirements and experience with the affected source actual testing schedule. THC testing is conducted annually. Dioxin/Furan tests are required every 6 years, and this ICR assumes 2 of the 12 sources conduct dioxin/furan tests each year. Lead testing is required annually but many sources requests extensions for this test and the tests occur every two years. This ICR assumes 6 of the 12 sources conduct lead tests each year. The ICR estimates that all sources have continuous particulate monitors and that two differential pressure monitors exist per source. Since all sources have continuous particulate monitors, the visible emission observation requirement in the rule is not accounted for in the burden estimate. In addition, each facility must conduct monthly inspections of capture hoods and enclosures, and weekly inspections of battery storage areas that are not in enclosures.
d EPA assumes each facility will make one major adjustment per year. In each instance, the SOP must be revised.
e EPA assumes one notification and one test report for each test conducted will be submitted. There are 20 tests for the 12 sources, 20/12 = 1.67, or 2 responses per respondent for each of these activities.
f EPA assumes that one report will be submitted for all differential pressure monitors at the facility.
g Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a EPA estimates an average of 12 existing facilities and no new facilities per year will be subject to the NESHAP over the next 3 years.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $48.08 (technical), $64.80 (managerial), and $26.02 (clerical). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2017 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 Agency personnel will attend 20% of facility stack tests (0.2 x 20 tests on average across the 12 facilities = 4, after rounding).
d EPA assumes 10% of facilities will have excess emissions (0.1 x 12 = 1, after rounding).
e EPA assumes state and EPA personnel will require 4 technical hours per respondent when preparing the annual summary report (12 x 4 = 48).
f Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

1 Dioxin/Furan testing occurs every 6 years, or 12 facilities/6 years = 2 facilities per year.
2. Lead testing is required annually, but there are provisions by which facilities can apply for an extension. This ICR assumes all facilities will apply for an extension to test once every 24 months. 12 facilities/2 years = 6 facilities per year conducting lead testing.
3. EPA has assumed that all faciliites will have CPMs.
4. EPA has assumed that each facility will have two differential pressure monitors.
5. Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
