**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NESHAP for Chemical Preparations Industry**  **(40 CFR Part 63, Subpart BBBBBBB**  **) (Renewal)**  **1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection**  NESHAP for Chemical Preparations Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart BBBBBBB ) (Renewal), EPA I CR Number 2356.03 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0636

. **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) fo r Chemical Preparations Industry were proposed on August 5, 2009 (74 FR 39013) , and promulgated on December 30, 2009 (74 FR 69193) . These regulations apply to existing and new chemical preparation facilities that conduct the mixing, milling, blending or extruding of industrial chemicals and that are area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). Area sources are classified as sources that emit less than 10 tons per year of a single toxic air pollutant or les s than 25 tons per year of any combination of toxic air pollutants. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 C FR part 63, subpart BBBBBBB

. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by

the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring s ys tem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are require d of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP

. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the fil e for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance repor

ts, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority

. In the event that there is no such delegated authority , the reports are sent directl y to the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Over the next three ye ars, an average of 26 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the standard , and no additional respondents per year will become subject to the standard. The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) approved the currentl y active I CR without any “ Terms of Clearance ”

. The “Affected Public” are owners and operators of chemical preparation facilities that are area source s , and that conduct the mixing, milling, blending or extruding of industrial chemicals, not to be confused with non

- industrial mixing or blending that occurs at a pharmacy , in a laboratory

or in similar non

- industrial circumstances. The burden to the “Affe cted Public”may

be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Chemical Preparations Industry (40 CFR Part 63 , Subpart BBBBBBB ) (Renewal)

. T he burden to the Federal Government is attributed entirel y to work performed b y either F ederal employees or government contractor s and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Chemical Preparations Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart BBBBBBB) (Renewal).
**2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/** **Authority for the Collection** The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory

of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. Inaddition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act t o: (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports;

(C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; ( F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from chemical preparation area sources cause or co ntribute to air pollution that may reasonably

be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63 , subpart BBBBBBB

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor.The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Ag ency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices (e.g. vent collection sy stems) are properl y installed and operated , leaks are being detected and repaired , and the standard is being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/m aintenance procedures and for compliance determinations. The information obtained under the initial compliance demonstration, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting will be used b y our enforcement personnel to: (1) identify existing and new HAP emission points subject to the NESHAP; (2) ensure that GACT is being properly applied; and (3) ensure that vent collection s ys tems and control devices are being properl y operated and maintained on a continuous basis to reduce HAP emissions from mixers, mix ing and blending tanks, mills, and extruders.
**3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63 , subpart BBBBBBB

. **3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subje ct standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency . If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar stan dards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist. **3(b) Public Notice R equired Prior to ICR Submission to OMB**  An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register ( 77 FR 63813 ) on October 17, 2012 . No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** The Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three years have been considered. The primary

source of information as reported by industry , in compliance with the record

keeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTIS ) which is operated and maintained b y EPA's Office of Compliance. OTI S is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry

is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts.
Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to4

comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed and the standard has been previously

reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this I CR, we contacted : 1) the American Coatings Association (ACA) , at ( 202 ) 719

- 3703 ; and 2) the PPG Industries , at (412) 492

- 5476. It is our policy

to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the f irst Federal Register n otice. In this case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection** Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. I f the information required by these standards was collected less frequently , the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations would be less likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines**
T hese reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five

- ye ar records re tention requirement is consistent the Part 70 permit program and the five

- ye ar statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. T he retention of records for five ye ars allow s EPA to establish the compliance history of a source , any pattern of non - compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five ye ars. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records

. **3(f) Confidentiality** Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, M arch 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions**
T he reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard s do not include sensitive questions.5

**4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes**  The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are owners and operators of chemical preparation area source facilities that emit metal HAP . The United States Standard Industrial Classification ( SI C ) code for the respondents affected by th e standards is SI C 2899 : Chemicals and Chemical Preparations, NEC, which corresponds to the North American Industry Classification Sy stem (NAICS ) code 325998 : All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing. **4(b) Information Requested**  **(i) Data Items**
In this ICR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required b y the NESHAP for Chemical Preparations Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart BBBBBBB)

. A source must make the following reports:

**Notification s**  Initial notification of applicability 63.11585(b)(1) Notification of intent to construct or reconstruct 63.5(d)(1), 63.9(b)(5) Notification of commencement of construction or reconstruction 63.5(d)(1) Notification of anticipated and actual startup 63.9(b)(5) Request for compliance extension 63.9(c) Notification of initial performance tests 63.11585(b)(2) Notification of compliance status 63.11585(b)(3)
**Reports** Initial compliance report and test data 63.11585(b)(3), (6) Results of initial management practices 63.11585(b)(5) Semiannual compliance reports 63.11585(c) A source must keep the following records:6 **Recordkeeping** All notification and reports 63.11585(d)(1)(i) Records of initial compliance demonstration 63.11585(d)(1)(iii) Records of continuous parameter monitoring 63.11585(d)(1) (v) Records of calibration and maintenance to continuous parameter monitoring equipment 63.11585(d)(1)(iv), (vi) Records of vent collection sy stem and control device inspection 63.11585(d)(1)(vi) Records of site

- specific monitoring plan 63.11585(d)(1)(vii) Records of particulate control device manufacturing specifications and recommendations 63.11585(d)(1)(viii)

Electronic Reporting Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordke eping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting sy stems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated th at approximately 10 percent of the respon dents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, and maintain continu ous parameter monitoring s ys tems Demonstrate compliance using prior emissions test, performance guarantee information, or engineering calculations. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Plan recordkeeping activities. Enter information required to be recorded above. Develop a monitoring plan.7 **Respondent Activities** Record continuous operating parameters and malfunctions. Record periods of target HAP service and deviations. Inspection and maintain vent collection sy stems and control devices. Store, file, and maintain records. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem. Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and**  **Information Management 5(a) Agency Activities**  EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analy sis, storage, and distribution of the required information.
**Agency Activities** Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTI S). **5(b ) Collection Methodology and Management**  Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are use d by the Agency

to discern a source ’ s initial capability to comply with the emission standard. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.8

In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. OT IS is EPA ’ s databa se for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses the OTI S for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement b y local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. Both the EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility**  Approximately

38 percent of the area source facilities are small entities (i.e., small businesses). Due to the high percentage of companies that are small businesses, it is likely that some small businesses are affected b y this NESHAP. However, it has been determined that the standard will not have a significant impact on small businesses. It is estimated that no companies will inc ur compliance costs, which include the cost of monitoring, inspection, recordkeeping and reporting costs, in excess of 1 percent of sales. Additionally , we have limited the initial compliance demonstration, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements for all facilities, including those owned b y small businesses, to the minimum neces sary to ensure compliance. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the types of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. **5(d ) Collection Schedule**  The specific frequency

for each information collection activity within this request is shown in below Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Chemical Preparations Industry

(40 CFR Part 63, Subpart BBBBBBB) (Renewal)

. **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where ver appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information colle ction are mandatory

. The Agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.9

**6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burd en to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirement s is estimated to be 2,093 hours ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below). T hese hours are based on Agency studies and background d ocuments from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously

approved ICR, and any

comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $1 21

. 4 4 ($5 7

. 8 3 + 110%) Technical $ 100

. 23 ($4 7

. 73 + 110%) Clerical $ 50

. 5 1 ($2 4

. 05 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2012 , “ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from column 1, “ Total compensation. ” The rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. **(ii) Es timating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs**  The ty pe of industry

costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one

- time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs such as photocop ying and postage.

**(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs** EPA assumes all affected sources will use existing continuous parameter monitoring equipment or alarms to demonstrate continuous compliance. Therefore, no new equipment would be required b y the recordkeeping and reporting requirements and that no capital costs would be incurred. The annual operation and maintenance (O&M) costs include the cost of photocopying and mailing reports for initial compliance demonstrations (engineering calculations or performance guarantee information) and semiannual complianc e reports. Photocopying and postage costs are incurred when reports required by the NESHAP are submitted to regulatory agencies. These costs were estimated to be $7.50 per report ($0.10/page, 15 pages/report, and $0.50 postage/report).10 **Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs**  (A) Continuous Monitoring Device (B)

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this I CR are $390. This is the total of column G. The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the IC R is estimated to be $390

. These are recordkeeping costs

. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Age ncy

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes such activities as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, the periodic inspection of sources of emission s, and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $2,69 7

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 6 2.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 8. 92 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 21 (GS

rates of pay

. Th e rates have been increased b y 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees
. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

**6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this I CR, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 26 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional respondents per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below , is 26 per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR.
**Number of Respondents**

. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Chemical Preparations Industry

(40 CFR Part 63, Subpart BBBBBBB) (Renewal)

. **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 2,093 hours at a cost of $202,662

. Details regarding these estimates may

be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Chemical Preparations Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart BBBBBBB) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 40 hours per response

. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $390

. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs. **(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 60 labor hours at a cost of $2,69 7 . See Table 2 below : Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Chemical Preparations Industry (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart BBBBBBB) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden for both the respondents and the Agency as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates13

occurred because the standard has been in effect for mo re than three ye ars and the requirements are different during initial compliance (new facilities) as compared to on

- going compliance (existing facilities). The previous I CR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for subje ct facilities. This includes understanding rule requirements, notification of applicability , conducting engineering calculations or obtaining data on performance guarantees to demonstrate initial compliance, and establishing recordkeeping s ys tems. This I CR, by

in large, reflects the on

- going burden and costs for existing facilities. Activities for exis ting source include continuous monitoring of pollutants and the submission of semiannual reports. The overall result is a decrease in burden hour s and costs. These changes also result in a decrease in O&M costs, which are photocop yi ng and postage costs associated with submittal of notifications and semiannual reports. This I CR corrects a mathematical mistake in the Agency labor rates. The previo us ICR adjusted the labor rates by 160 percent, thereby overestimating the Agency costs

. This I CR corrects the loading rate to 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Additionally , this ICR corrects the frequency of occurrence for the review of semiannual reports from once to twice per year
. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 40 hours per response. “ Burden ” means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; dev elop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing way s to compl y with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. An agenc y m ay

not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

a. We have assumed that there are approximately 2 6 respondents subject to the rule, with no new sources expected over the next three

- years of this ICR. b. This ICR uses the following labor rates: Technical $100.23 ($47.73 + 110%); Managerial $121.44 ($57.83+ 110%); and Clerical $50.51 ($24.05 + 110%). These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2012, “Table 2. C ivilian 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 the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. This ICR assumes that Managerial hours are 5 percent of Technical hours, and Clerical hours are 10 percent of Technical hours.
c. We assume that this is a one

- time only activity for new facilities. d. One

- time activity for new and existing facility after promulgation of f inal rule. Assume that performance tests are not required for any of the existing facilities to demonstrate compliance with the emission limits. We assume that 50 percent of the industry will have existing performance tests that demonstrate compliance wi th the emission limits, and the other 50 percent will use performance guarantees or engineering calculations to demonstrate compliance.
e. We assume that all existing facilities will use their existing continuous parameter monitoring equipment or alarms t o demonstrate continuous compliance. f. There is no additional burden for new monitoring equipment because additional add

- on control devices are not expected to be needed to demonstrate compliance with the emission limits and facilities are already equip ped with equipment to monitor existing control device parameters. g. Existing facilities must submit notification that they are subject to the standard within 120 days of the effective date of f inal rule. h We assume that compliance extensions will not b e necessary. i We have assumed that semiannual compliance reports will take each respondent 4 hours twice per year to prepare. j We have assumed that each respondent will take 1 hour 12 times per year to implement the continuous parameter monitoring system inspections, calibration and maintenance activity.17

a. We have assumed that there are approximately 26 respondents subject to the rule, with no new sources expected over the next three

- years of this ICR. Facilities subject to the NESHAP rules are located in 13 States. b. This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follow s: Technical $46.21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $28.88 + 60%); Managerial $62.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $38.92 + 60%); and Clerical $25.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $15.63 + 60%). This ICR assumes that Managerial hours are 5 per cent of Technical hours, and Clerical hours are 10 percent of Technical hours. These rates are from the OPM, 2012 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages avai lable to government employees.

. c. We assume that this is a one

- time only cost. d. We assume that EPA technical personnel will observe all performance tests conducted by new sources.
e. We have assumed that not emission tests will need to be performed. Facilities will utilize existing performance tests, performance guarantees, or engineering calculations to demonstrate initial compliance f

. We have assumed that there would be no enforcement activities for the 3

- year period covered by this ICR. g. We a ssume that existing area source facilities must submit notification that they are subject to and the standard within 120 days of the effective date of the final rule. h There are no new

sources expected. i We have assumed that the compliance extensions wi ll not be necessary. j Assume that EPA technical personnel will review all of the initial compliance status notifications for new sources. k We assume that EPA technical personnel will review 25 percent of the semiannual compliance reports for 26 sources, Number of occurrence = (26 x2 reports) x25% = 13 reports.
