Assumptions:
a EPA estimates an average of 9,743 existing sources will be subject to the rule over the next 3 years. On average during this period, 38 new sources per year will become subject, while 10 existing sources per year will close and will cease to be subject to the rule. The net total is 9,771 sources per year (9,743 + 38 - 10 = 9,771). The following is a detailed breakdown of the four source categories: 1) 2 existing asbestos converting sources. No new sources are expected. 2) 8,781 existing asbestos demolition/renovation sources. EPA assumes an increase of 28 new sources per year. 3) An annual average of 20 companies will use CTPS to conduct ACPRPs. 4) 400 existing asbestos milling, manufacturing, and fabricating sources. No new sources are expected. 5) Approximately 560 sources will receive asbestos-containing wastes subject to the rule. No net growth will occur because an estimated 10 sites will close annually, while an estimated 10 sites will become subject to the rule by commencing acceptance of asbestos-containing wastes.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $122.20 (technical), $153.55 (managerial), and $61.51 (clerical). 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.” They have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c EPA does not expect any spray operation sources will become subject to the rule over the next three years.
d Report notifying EPA that waste shipment records signed by owners/operators of disposal sites were not received by waste generators within 45 days of the date of waste acceptance by initial transporters.
e The rule requires sources to submit a control device maintenance plan for any air cleaning devices that cannot be inspected on a weekly basis. EPA assumes 10% of sources will submit such maintenance plans.
f Sources are required to submit reports if discrepancies between designated waste shipment and actual received quantities are not resolved with waste generators.
g Active waste disposal sites are required to report the presence of improperly enclosed or uncovered waste, or any asbestos-containing waste material not sealed in leak-tight containers, and submit the waste shipment record.
h EPA assumes respondents will submit reports for improperly contained waste twice per year.
i EPA assumes asbestos-containing waste will not be excavated at any disposal site.
j EPA assumes approximately 4 million cubic yards of waste shipments will be recorded annually for all demolition/renovation contractors, and that each load will be about 20 cubic yards. This would result in approximately 200,000 loads annually (4 million cubic yards/20 cubic yards per load). We estimate approximately 24 loads per contractor per year.
k Based on Agency experience with the rule, operations generally cease from late fall into winter. We thus assume the burden for this activity will be negligible.
l EPA assumes sources will have an average of 2.5 control devices requiring monitoring, and that will operate for 255 days over 51 weeks, annually.
m EPA assumes all existing contractors (8,781) and new contractors entering the market for the first time (28) will spend resources annually on training due to employee turnover and new hires.
n EPA anticipates there will be no direct costs to respondents to train inspectors for Method 9 certification for daily visible emissions monitoring.
o EPA anticipates there will be no burden for waste disposal-related training.
p Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
