| Assumptions: | ||||||||||||
| a EPA estimates that there are 54 existing facilities subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart FFFF. This includes 29 ACI units and 25 VSMWC with capacity less than or equal to 10 TPD. | ||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||
| d We have assumed that no respondents would be required to repeat a performance test. | ||||||||||||
| e We have assumed that none of the existing units subject to FFFF have CEMS, all units are less than 10 TPD and have already conducted initial testing; therefore no facilities will submit an initial demonstration report. | ||||||||||||
| f We have assumed that ACI units will conduct annual testing; no other respondents are expected to conduct annual performance tests or record daily calibration and operation or control devices operating parameters. Units using the alternative waste characterization methods for continuous compliance submit annual reports which consist of a statement that there were no deviations from the percentage of waste burned in each category and the OSWI unit has been operated within the established operating parameter limits. We have assumed the 25 SRI units have already conducted initial testing in the first year and will use the alternative waste characterization option in subsequent years. | ||||||||||||
| g The requirement to submit an annual compliance report is not new, therefore there are no incremental costs associated with this requirement. | ||||||||||||
| h We have assumed that each respondent will record information 52 times per year. | ||||||||||||
| i We have assumed that 10 percent of the 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 54 existing facilities subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart FFFF. This includes 29 ACI units and 25 VSMWC with capacity less than or equal to 10 TPD. | ||||||||||||
| 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. | ||||||||||||
| d We have assumed that no respondents would be required to repeat a performance test. | ||||||||||||
| e We have assumed that none of the existing units subject to FFFF have CEMS, all units are less than 10 TPD and have already conducted initial testing; therefore no facilities will submit an initial demonstration report. | ||||||||||||
| f We have assumed that ACI units will conduct annual testing; no other respondents are expected to conduct annual performance tests or record daily calibration and operation or control devices operating parameters. Units using the alternative waste characterization methods for continuous compliance submit annual reports which consist of a statement that there were no deviations from the percentage of waste burned in each category and the OSWI unit has been operated within the established operating parameter limits. We have assumed the 25 SRI units have already conducted initial testing in the first year and will use the alternative waste characterization option in subsequent years. | ||||||||||||
| g The requirement to submit an annual compliance report is not new, therefore there are no incremental costs associated with this requirement. | ||||||||||||
| h We have assumed that each respondent will record information 52 times per year. | ||||||||||||
| i We have assumed that 10 percent of the 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. | ||||||||||||
