Assumptions:
a On average, EPA estimates 29 existing sources will be subject to the NSPS. No new sources will become subject to the standard over the three-year period of this ICR. EPA also estimates one existing facility will undergo either a reconstruction or a physical or operational change such that it will be required to submit initial notifications and conduct initial performance testing.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $122.66 (technical), $149.84 (managerial), and $60.88 (clerical). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2020, “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 EPA assumes 20 percent of respondents will have to repeat the performance test due to failure.
d Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

a On average, EPA estimates 20 existing sources will be subject to the NSPS. No new sources will become subject to the standard over the three-year period of this ICR. EPA also estimates one existing facility will undergo either a reconstruction or a physical or operational change such that it will be required to submit initial notifications and conduct initial performance testing.

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2021 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.
