| Assumptions: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| a There are approximately 11 existing sources currently subject to this rule. We estimate there will be no additional new source that will become subject to the rule each year over the 3-year period of this ICR. |
|
|
| b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $139.63 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $119.47 per hour for Technical labor, and $58.15 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2018, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total Compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. |
|
|
| c Monitoring and recordkeeping of operations for respondents will include monthly inspection of capture and control systems; daily testing of oil content for the sinter plant feed [3 plants, 4 strands (from the composite of three samples taken at 8-hour intervals)] to compute the 30-day rolling average oil content for each operating day; and every 2.5 years, each non-baghouse emission point must be sampled by Method 5 for particulate matter, Method 9 for opacity observations to determine the opacity of fugitive emissions; and once during each term of their title V operating permit, each baghouse emission point must be sampled by Method 5 for particulate matter, Method 9 for opacity observations to determine the opacity of fugitive emissions (3.7=11/3 plants). Compliance for mercury includes using Method 29 twice per permit cycle or certify compliance with NVMSRP/approved mercury removal program or certify the use of scrap without mercury annually. |
|
|
| d We have assumed that there is an average of 8.9 (98/11) emission points per respondent that need to be sampled using Method 5; 3.9 (43/11) emission points per respondent that need to be sampled using Method 9; 4 emissions points per respondent that need to be sampled using Method 9071B (3 facilities with sinter plants, 1 facility has 2 strands), the oil content of the sinter feed must be analyzed each day; 6.3 (69/11) emission points per respondent that need to be sampled using Method 29. We have assumed Method 29 mercury add-on costs to Method 5 for PM of $6,240 per test. We have estimated than 0 (zero) facilities will choose to comply with §63.7791 with a Method 29 stack test per §63.7825(a)-(f) and 11 facilities will choose to comply with §63.7791 using the NVMSRP/approved mercury removal program, or use of scrap that does not contain mercury per §63.7791(b), (c), or (d). |
|
|
| e These requirements are one-time requirements that apply to new respondents. There are no new respondents estimated over the 3-year period of this ICR. |
|
|
| f Submittal of performance test data through the EPA's CEDRI in ERT format is estimated to require 8 hours annually, includes keeping records of failures to meet the standards and the actions taken to minimize emissions. |
|
|
| g We have assumed that it takes each respondent approximately 4 hours to develop a record system to certify compliance with NVMSRP/approved mercury removal program or nonmercury scrap and maintain records. |
|
|
| h Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. |

| Assumptions: |

|
|
|
|
| a There are approximately 11 existing sources currently subject to this rule. We expect there will be no additional new source that will become subject to the rule each year over the 3-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: Managerial rate of $65.71 (GS-13, Step 5, $41.07 + 60%), Technical rate of $48.75 (GS-12, Step 1, $30.47 + 60%), and Clerical rate of $26.38 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.49 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2018 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay. |
| c These requirements are one-time requirements that apply to new respondents. There are no new respondents estimated over the 3 year period of this ICR. |
| d Every 2.5 years (or about 0.4 times per year, if averaged over the 3-year period of ICR), respondents must sample each emission point using Method 5 for particulate matter, Method 9 for opacity observations, and submit an electronic report to CEDRI with results. |
| e Sources are required to submit electronic semiannual compliance reports to CEDRI. |
| f We have assumed that each facility per year will submit their certification of compliance with NVMSRP/approved mercury removal program or nonmercury scrap for EPA review. |
