(a) We have assumed that there are approximately 19 existing respondents, with no additional sources becoming subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR. We assume that one-third of the existing facilities would begin complying in year 2 and the remaining two-thirds of the existing facilities in year 3. | |||||||||||
(b) This ICR uses the following labor rates for privately-owned sources: $161.34 for managerial, $101.24 for technical, and $45.17 for clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2021, National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates for NAICS 325000 - Chemical Manufacturing. These rates have been adjusted using a Fringe Benefit Loading Rate of 1.5 and an Overhead and Profit Rate of 1.4 (Mean Hourly Rate * Fringe Benefit Loading Rate * Overhead and Profit Rate = Loaded Rate) to account for varying industry wage rates and the additional overhead business costs of employing workers beyond their wages and benefits, including business expenses associated with hiring, training, and equipping their employees. | |||||||||||
(c) This is a one-time cost. | |||||||||||
(d) Includes costs for the following monitoring equipment: H2 analyzer, calorimeter, flare gas flow monitor, steam controls/flow monitor, and air controls/flow monitor. | |||||||||||
(e) We estimate 1 respondent operates carbon adsorbers. | |||||||||||
(f) We estimate 1 respondent operates facilities that produce chlorinated compounds. | |||||||||||
(g) We estimate 12 respondents will be required to conduct fenceline monitoring. All 12 facilities would begin complying with requirements in year 2 and submit corrective action plans in year 3. | |||||||||||
(h) Only applicable to facilities with ethylene oxide emissions. We assume these facilities will begin complying in year 2. Note, there are not startup/capital & O&M costs for wastewater. | |||||||||||
(i) Retests only occur after five years from the intial performance test, and thus would not occur over the period covered by this ICR. | |||||||||||
(j) Assumed that bypass lines were not used during the 3-year period, so costs for bypass lines would not be incurred. | |||||||||||
(k) Assumed recordkeeping hours are comparable to previously required water methods, and assigned 0 additional hours to implement the El Paso Method. |

(a) We have assumed that there are approximately 19 existing respondents, with no additional sources becoming subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR. We assume that one-third of the existing facilities would begin complying in year 2 and the remaining two-thirds of the existing facilities in year 3. | |||||||||||
(b) This ICR uses the following labor rates for privately-owned sources: $161.34 for managerial, $101.24 for technical, and $45.17 for clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2021, National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates for NAICS 325000 - Chemical Manufacturing. These rates have been adjusted using a Fringe Benefit Loading Rate of 1.5 and an Overhead and Profit Rate of 1.4 (Mean Hourly Rate * Fringe Benefit Loading Rate * Overhead and Profit Rate = Loaded Rate) to account for varying industry wage rates and the additional overhead business costs of employing workers beyond their wages and benefits, including business expenses associated with hiring, training, and equipping their employees. | |||||||||||
(c) This is a one-time cost. | |||||||||||
(d) Includes costs for the following monitoring equipment: H2 analyzer, calorimeter, flare gas flow monitor, steam controls/flow monitor, and air controls/flow monitor. | |||||||||||
(e) We estimate 1 respondent operates carbon adsorbers. | |||||||||||
(f) We estimate 1 respondent operates facilities that produce chlorinated compounds. | |||||||||||
(g) We estimate 12 respondents will be required to conduct fenceline monitoring. All 12 facilities would begin complying with requirements in year 2 and submit corrective action plans in year 3. | |||||||||||
(h) Only applicable to facilities with ethylene oxide emissions. We assume these facilities will begin complying in year 2. Note, there are not startup/capital & O&M costs for wastewater. | |||||||||||
(i) Retests only occur after five years from the intial performance test, and thus would not occur over the period covered by this ICR. | |||||||||||
(j) Assumed that bypass lines were not used during the 3-year period, so costs for bypass lines would not be incurred. | |||||||||||
(k) Assumed recordkeeping hours are comparable to previously required water methods, and assigned 0 additional hours to implement the El Paso Method. |

(a) We have assumed that there are approximately 19 existing respondents, with no additional sources becoming subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR. We assume that one-third of the existing facilities would begin complying in year 2 and the remaining two-thirds of the existing facilities in year 3. | |||||||||||
(b) This ICR uses the following labor rates for privately-owned sources: $161.34 for managerial, $101.24 for technical, and $45.17 for clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2021, National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates for NAICS 325000 - Chemical Manufacturing. These rates have been adjusted using a Fringe Benefit Loading Rate of 1.5 and an Overhead and Profit Rate of 1.4 (Mean Hourly Rate * Fringe Benefit Loading Rate * Overhead and Profit Rate = Loaded Rate) to account for varying industry wage rates and the additional overhead business costs of employing workers beyond their wages and benefits, including business expenses associated with hiring, training, and equipping their employees. | |||||||||||
(c) This is a one-time cost. | |||||||||||
(d) Includes costs for the following monitoring equipment: H2 analyzer, calorimeter, flare gas flow monitor, steam controls/flow monitor, and air controls/flow monitor. | |||||||||||
(e) We estimate 1 respondent operates carbon adsorbers. | |||||||||||
(f) We estimate 1 respondent operates facilities that produce chlorinated compounds. | |||||||||||
(g) We estimate 12 respondents will be required to conduct fenceline monitoring. All 12 facilities would begin complying with requirements in year 2 and submit corrective action plans in year 3. | |||||||||||
(h) Only applicable to facilities with ethylene oxide emissions. We assume these facilities will begin complying in year 2. Note, there are not startup/capital & O&M costs for wastewater. | |||||||||||
(i) Retests only occur after five years from the intial performance test, and thus would not occur over the period covered by this ICR. | |||||||||||
(j) Assumed that bypass lines were not used during the 3-year period, so costs for bypass lines would not be incurred. | |||||||||||
(k) Assumed recordkeeping hours are comparable to previously required water methods, and assigned 0 additional hours to implement the El Paso Method. |
