Notes:

(1) - Cost for subpart A data elements [98.3(c)(4)(iii)(G) and 98.3(c)(5)(ii)] related to identifying the chemical name, CAS registry or SRS number and the chemical formula. Applicable to facilities [98.3(c)(4)(iii)(G)] and suppliers [98.3(c)(5)(ii)] that report under the following subparts: I, F, L, O, OO, DD, SS, and QQ.

(2) - Cost for the subpart A data element [98.4(i)(6)] related to listing subparts that will be included in their report; applicable to 310 facilities. Avg Cost Per Respondent: $ 11.21

(3) - Cost for the subpart A data elements [98.2(i)(3) and(5)] related to notifying the Administrator the facility or supplier will cease reporting; reporting of either data element is assumed applicable to 166 facilities.

(4) - Cost for the subpart A data element [98.2(i)(6)] related to notifying the Adminstrator the facility or supplier will cease reporting and the e-GGRT identification number of the reconstituted facility; applicable to 51 facilities. Avg Burden Per Respondent: 0.17

(5) - Cost for the subpart C data element [98.36(e)(2)(i)(B)] related to reporting moisture content; applicable to 132 facilities.

(6) - Cost for reporting one of the two subpart C data elements [98.36(c)(1)(iii) or subpart C data element 98.36(c)(3)(ii)]; applicable to 3,540 facilities that report heat input capacity for either the GP or CP configuration.

(9) - The number of respondents subject to the required activities was estimated separately for each subpart, and in situations where a facility reports under multiple subparts, the facility was counted once per subpart (e.g., facilities that report emissions under both subpart X and subpart C were counted as separate 

facilities under each subpart). As a result, the actual total number of respondents that will perform the required activities for each year across all subparts is lower than estimated.

Subpart/Source Category Item

(8) - Cost for the number of new and existing reporters anticipated to be affected by the addition of new data elements to subpart OO. Note that 34 of the 41 new data elements would only apply to 3 existing reporters that would report data related to fluorinated HTFs that are not fluorinated GHGs, 1 data element 

would apply only to 8 new reporters that are destruction facilities not currently reporting under subpart OO, and 6 data elements related to destruction of fluorinated HTFs would apply to both the 8 new and 3 existing reporters. 

(7) - Costs for the seven new data elements in subpart I are related to the triennial technology report [98.96(y)]. The first report must be submitted with RY2016 reports by March 31, 2017 and every three years thereafter. For the purposes of estimating burden for the first three years following implementation of the rule, the 

burden associated with these data elements was calculated for RY2016 only and not for RY2017 or RY2018.

Owned by Enterprises with:

Table 16-1. Receipts, Number of Establishments, and Average Receipts for Bituminous Coal 

Underground Mining (NAICS code of 212112)

Owned by Enterprises with:

The sales test exceeded 1 percent for the 1-19 employees size category for subpart FF. The sales test for 

this size category was also exceeded in the original EIA (ref) and the EPA noted that mines owned by 

enterprises with less than 19 employees would be unlikely to be covered by this rule. The same rationale 

applies here, and we do not anticipate any impacts on small entities for subpart FF reporters.

The sales test exceeded 1 percent for the 1-19 employees size category for subpart OO. As noted above, we expect the 

subpart OO revisions to affect 5 - 10 new reporters. As such, we do not anticipate these new reporters would be owned 

by enterprises with less than 19 employees. We also examined the parent companies identified by current subpart OO 

reporters, and in each instance the parent company is a large corporation that would easily exceed 19 employees. We 

do not anticipate any impacts on small entities for subpart OO reporters.
