Assumptions: | ||||||||||||
a EPA estimates that there are 2 existing facilities subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart EEEE with capacities greater than or equal to 10 tons per day. These 2 have already conducted initial testing. There is no incremental burden to the respondents due to the final rule requirements. | ||||||||||||
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $145.99 (technical), $177.98 (managerial), and $74.28 (clerical). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2024, “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 This estimate includes additional burden for a one-time only cost for new respondents from revisions to the final rule. Note that the waste management plan is submitted as part of the preconstruction report. We have assumed that the existing units have already completed the waste management plan. | ||||||||||||
d We have assumed that no respondents would be required to repeat a performance test. | ||||||||||||
e We have assumed that the two existing units subject to EEEE have CEMS, and these two units have already completed the initial demonstration; therefore no respondents will submit an intitial demonstration report. | ||||||||||||
f We have assumed that the two respondents will continue to record daily calibration and operation or control device operating parameters and conduct annual performance tests. | ||||||||||||
g We have assumed that the facilities not conducting initial performance tests will submit an annual compliance report. However, these are existing requirements and there is no incremental burden due to the proposed requirements. | ||||||||||||
h We have assumed that each respondent will record information 52 times per year. | ||||||||||||
i We have assumed that 10 percent of the non-ACI respondents will report exceedances. | ||||||||||||
j Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. | ||||||||||||
k We have assumed that each respondent will record information 52 times per year. The non-labor costs shown for control device operating parameters are total cost for the entire year, not the cost per occurrence. |

Assumptions: | ||||||||||||
a EPA estimates that there are 2 existing facilities subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart EEEE with capacities greater than or equal to 10 tons per day. These 2 have already conducted initial testing. There is no incremental burden to the respondents due to the final rule requirements. | ||||||||||||
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $145.99 (technical), $177.98 (managerial), and $74.28 (clerical). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2024, “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 This estimate includes additional burden for a one-time only cost for new respondents from revisions to the final rule. Note that the waste management plan is submitted as part of the preconstruction report. We have assumed that the existing units have already completed the waste management plan. | ||||||||||||
d We have assumed that no respondents would be required to repeat a performance test. | ||||||||||||
e We have assumed that the two existing units subject to EEEE have CEMS, and these two units have already completed the initial demonstration; therefore no respondents will submit an intitial demonstration report. | ||||||||||||
f We have assumed that the two respondents will continue to record daily calibration and operation or control device operating parameters and conduct annual performance tests. | ||||||||||||
g We have assumed that the facilities not conducting initial performance tests will submit an annual compliance report. However, these are existing requirements and there is no incremental burden due to the proposed requirements. | ||||||||||||
h We have assumed that each respondent will record information 52 times per year. | ||||||||||||
i We have assumed that 10 percent of the non-ACI respondents will report exceedances. | ||||||||||||
j Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. | ||||||||||||
k We have assumed that each respondent will record information 52 times per year. The non-labor costs shown for control device operating parameters are total cost for the entire year, not the cost per occurrence. |
