Assumptions:
a We have assumed that the average number of sources that will be subject to the standard will be 377. There will be no additional new source per year that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR..
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $153.55 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $122.20 per hour for Technical labor, and $61.51 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2021 "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 assume all respondents will take 2 hours to familiarize with the regulatory requirements.
d These requirements only apply to sources subject to the 2009 final rule amendment, i.e. sources constructed, reconstructed, or modified after April 28, 2008. EPA assumes that on average over the period covered under this ICR, there are 29 sources subject to the final rule amendment. EPA also assumes that 50 percent of sources will have a performance test that demonstrates that emissions from the affected facility are greater than 50 percent of the applicable emissions standard and a new performance test must be conducted within 12 calendar months. EPA assumes the remaining 50% of these facilities will conduct a repeat performance test within 24 months of prior test.
e EPA assumes that 50 percent of sources subject to the 2009 final rule amendment will elect to perform daily walk-through visual emission observations for compliance monitoring, and 50 percent of sources elect to perform repeat Method 9 opacity testing for compliance monitoring.
f These requirements only apply to coal truck dump operations subject to the 2009 final rule amendments. We assume that there are 4 such applicable operations following the 2009 final rule.
g We have assumed that each new respondent will take eight hours three time per year to observe procedures.
h All new and existing sources are subject to semiannual reporting.
i Initial requirements only apply to new sources
j We have assumed that each respondent will take one hour once per month to transmit electronic data.
k 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 sources that will be subject to the standard will be 377. There will be zero additional new source per year that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR. We also assume that 29 sources will be subject to post-2009 requirements and 50% of those will perform Method 5 and Method 9 performance tests.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $69.04 (GS-13, Step 5, $43.15 + 60%); Technical $51.23 (GS-12, Step 1, $32.02 + 60%); and Clerical $27.73 (GS-6, Step 3, $17.33 + 60%). 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.
c Initial requirements only apply to new sources.
d We have assumed that 29 sources subject to the 2009 final rule are conducting repeat performance tests.
e We have assumed that all sources are subject to semiannual excess emissions reporting.
f Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
