GRAND TOTAL (rounded) h								$490,000			$697,000	labor + O&M cost
Assumptions:
a We estimate that an average of 47 existing respondents per year will be subject to the rule, and that no new, modified, or reconstructed facilities will become subject over the three-year period of this ICR. We estimate 26 (55.6 percent) respondents are privately owned and 21 (44.4 percent) are publicly owned.
b This ICR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $184.86 ($88.03+ 110%); Technical $148.45 ($70.69 + 110%); and Clerical $76.42 ($36.39 + 110%). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2025, “Table 2. Civilian workers by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rates are 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 assume that all sources will have to familiarize themselves with regulatory requirements each year.
d We assume this is a one-time-only cost.
e We assume it takes 60 technical hours for pretests/test preparation, 60 technical hours for testing, and 80 technical hours for analysis and report preparation.
f This rule does not require semiannual reporting, just recordkeeping.
g We assume it will take 0.25 hours per day over 350 days per year to record daily charging rates.
h Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

Assumptions:
a We estimate that an average of 47 existing respondents per year will be subject to the rule, and that no new, modified, or reconstructed facilities will become subject over the three-year period of this ICR. We estimate 26 (55.6 percent) respondents are privately owned and 21 (44.4 percent) are publicly owned.
b This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows: Managerial $78.22 (GS-13, Step 5, $48.89 + 60%); Technical $58.05 (GS-12, Step 1, $36.28 + 60%); and Clerical $31.41 (GS-6, Step 3, $19.63+ 60%). This ICR assumes that Managerial hours are 5 percent of Technical hours, and Clerical hours are 10 percent of Technical hours. These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2025 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 assume that all sources will have to familiarize themselves with regulatory requirements each year.
d We assume this is a one-time-only cost.
e We assume it takes 60 technical hours for pretests/test preparation, 60 technical hours for testing, and 80 technical hours for analysis and report preparation.

c We assume there will be no new, modified, or reconstructed facilities constructed over the next three years.
d We assume this is a one-time-only cost.
e This rule does not require semiannual or annual reporting, only recordkeeping.
f We assume it will take eight hours to review test results.
g Assumes EPA will audit records for approximately 10% of facilities.
