Assumptions:
a We have assumed that there are an average of 732 existing respondents subject to the rule and no new sources that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $163.17 ($77.70 + 110%); Technical $130.28 ($62.04 + 110%); and Clerical $65.71 ($31.29 + 110%). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2022, “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 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 We have assumed that all respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year.
d We have assumed that 20 percent of initial performance tests will be repeated due to failure.
e We have assumed that 80 percent of respondents will each take 8 hours two times per year to write the semiannual report.
f We have assumed that 20 percent of respondents will each take 8 hours four times per year to write the quarterly report.
g We have assumed that each respondent will take 30 minutes each day to check computer system and calibrate continuous monitors.
h Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a We have assumed that there are an average of 732 existing respondents subject to the rule and no new sources that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of this ICR.
b This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows: Managerial $73.46 (GS-13, Step 5, $45.91 + 60%); Technical $54.51 (GS-12, Step 1, $34.07 + 60%); and Clerical $29.50 (GS-6, Step 3, $18.44 + 60%). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2023 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 We have assumed that it will take 40 hours to review each startup report.
d We have assumed that it will take 8 hours two times per year to review each semiannual report.
e We have assumed that it will take 8 hours four times per year to review each the quarterly report.
f Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
