Assumptions:
a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 41 existing sources, one of which mixes only rubber compound. There will be no additional sources over the three-year period of this ICR. In addition, we have not included the reporting requirements burden for affected facilities exemptions under 40 CFR 60.676(d) in the table because their occurrence is very rare in practice.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $141.06 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $120.27 per hour for Technical labor, and $58.67 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2019, 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.
c We have assumed all existing sources will have to re-familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year.
d We have assumed that the rubber tire manufacturing plants will not construct or reconstruct an affected facility, however, they will conduct operational changes on 10 percent of the affected operations.
e We have assumed that there will be no new sources expected over the three-year period of this ICR.
f Sources are required to monitor and record monthly performance tests, VOC use, the number of days in each compliance period, control device efficiency, formulation data or the results of Method 24 test analysis conducted to verify the VOC content of the spray, monitoring device data and other operational data such as the number of tires processed. We have assumed that sources will operate approximately 350 days per year or 50 weeks. We have further assumed that the burden incurred to record these items is one hour per occurrence.
g We have assumed that three existing sources using control devices will conduct a Method 25 test once a year to determine the VOC concentration in each stack (source using a capture system) both entering and leaving the control device.
h We have assumed that 10 percent of the existing rubber tire manufacturing plants subject to this rule will make a physical/operational change by adding a green tire spray booth or a new line.
i A source is required to do Method 24 test or formulation data analysis if the operational change involves spray materials formulation changes, and results should be reported within 30 days.
j We have assumed that one-third of the sources will submit exceedance reports for each six month period.
k We have assumed that all existing sources, will submit an annual Method 24 test report or an annual formulation data report to verify the VOC content of each tread end cement and green tire spray material in lieu of conducting a monthly performance test. We have further assumed that 50 percent of the existing sources, will continue to use hazardous air pollutant (HAP) materials (VOC) in the spray at levels that meet the green tire VOC limitations in NSPS not needing to add on control devices. The remaining plants will use only water-based sprays and are not required to perform monthly performance tests. We have assumed that the burden incurred to record these items is one hour per occurrence per source due to the nature of the control equipment used and its intermittent use.
l We have assumed that there will be two occurrences of startup, shutdown, and/or malfunction per source every four weeks, which will yield and average of 25 occurrences per source per respondent in 50 weeks.
m 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 the rule will be 41 existing sources one of which mixes only rubber compound. There will be no additional sources over the three-year period of this ICR.
b This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $66.62 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $41.64 x 1.6), $49.44 for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $30.90 x 1.6), and $26.75 for Clerical (GS-6, Step 3, $16.72 x 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2016 General Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay.
c We have assumed that there will be no new sources expected over the three-year period of this ICR.
d We have assumed that three existing sources using control devices will conduct a Method 25 test once a year to determine the VOC concentration in each stack (source using a capture system) both enter and leaving the control device.
e We have assumed that a source is required to do Method 24 or formulation data analysis if the operational change involves spray materials formulation changes and results should be reported within 30 days.
f We have assumed that one-third of sources will submit exceedance reports for each six month period.
g We have assumed that all existing sources will submit an annual Method 24 test report or an annual formulation data report to verify the VOC content of each tread end cement and green tire spray material in lieu of conducting a monthly performance test. We have further assumed that 50 percent of the existing sources will continue to use HAP materials (VOC) in the spray at levels that meet the green tire VOC limitations in NSPS not needing any add on control devices. The remaining plants use only water-based sprays and are not required to do monthly performance tests. We have assumed that the burden incurred to record these items is five hours per occurrence per source due to the nature of the control equipment used and its intermittent use.
h We have assumed that ten percent of the existing rubber tire manufacturing plants subject to the rule will make a physical/operational change due to adding a green tire spray booth or a new line.
i Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
