Please
mark
the
appropriate
boxes
to
indicate
which
type
of
method
the
sheet
represents.
Also
mark
a
box
to
indicate
whether
the

represents
a
new
instrument
or
a
modification
of
an
existing
instrument.

Part
B:
Labor
Rates
Please
enter
the
fully
loaded
labor
rate
for
each
category
of
employee.
Note
that
"
fully
loaded"
includes
salary,
overhead,
fringe
benefits,
health
care
costs,
and
any
other
costs
directly
related
to
a
given
employee.
The
information
should
reflect
typical
rates;
exact
numbers
are
not
necessary.

Part
C:
Annual
Activity
Burden
Estimates
Fill
in
boxes
to
indicate
the
annual
burden
for
each
activity.
Labor
hours
should
be
broken
down
into
three
categories:
Management,
Professional/
Technical,
and
Clerical.
Space
is
also
provided
for
noting
costs
in
dollars
for
services
provided
by
outside
contractors
(
i.
e.,
laboratories
or
other
firms
performing
tests
for
which
you
are
not
equipped.)
The
columns
titled
"
O&
M"
and
"
Capital/
Startup"
should
be
used
to
record
any
in­
house
non­
labor
costs
associated
with
a
given
activity
(
i.
e.,
gas
standards,
equipment
purchases,
etc.)
O&
M
costs
are
ongoing
costs
(
i.
e.,
annual
calibration
or
certification
of
test
instruments
or
regular
purchases
of
supplies).
Capital/
Startup
costs
are
one­
time
costs
which
do
not
recur
regularly
(
i.
e.,
purchasing
test
instruments).
If
such
equipment
is
used
for
testing
multiple
instruments,
the
total
cost
should
be
distributed
across
the
instruments.
Startup
costs
for
ISO
9001
registration
should
be
distributed
similarly.
Please
make
notes
on
a
separate
sheet
of
paper
to
more
fully
describe
Contractor,
O&
M,
and
Capital/
Startup
costs.

Determination

Estimates
D­

Assumptions
and
Notes:
Determination
of
Burden
Hours
and
Cost
Estimates
for
Applications
for
Reference
and
Equivalent
Methods
Representative
burden
hours
and
cost
estimates
were
prepared
for
five
categories
of
applications:
Gas
Analyzers,
Open
Path
Analyzers,
PM
10
Monitors,
PM
2.5
Reference
and
Class
I
Equivalent
Samplers,
and
PM
2.5
Class
II
Equivalent
Samplers.
These
average
category
estimates
are
included
in
the
tables
presented
in
Attachment
E
to
the
supporting
statement
and
were
derived
as
described
below.

1)
Gas
Analyzers:
These
numbers
represent
mean
values
received
from
survey
respondents
for
gas
analyzer
designation
application
burden
and
costs.

2)
Open
Path
Analyzers:
No
useful
cost
figures
for
open
path
analyzers
were
received
from
survey
respondents.
It
was
assumed
that
the
cost
for
preparing
an
open
path
analyzer
designation
application
is
roughly
three
times
that
for
a
standard
gas
analyzer.
However,
a
typical
open
path
analyzer
would
likely
be
submitted
for
designation
for
three
or
more
pollutants
at
little
additional
cost
per
pollutant.
Consequently,
the
cost
per
designation
application
for
open
path
analyzers
was
assumed
to
be
the
same
as
that
for
a
typical
gas
analyzer.

3)
PM
10
Monitors:
These
numbers
represent
mean
values
received
from
survey
respondents
for
PM
10
monitor
designation
application
costs
and
include
both
PM
10
samplers
and
analyzers.

4)
PM
2.5
Reference
and
Class
I
Equivalent
Samplers:
These
numbers
represent
mean
values
received
from
survey
respondents
for
PM
2.5
Reference
and
Class
I
Equivalent
Method
Sampler
designation
application
costs.

5)
PM
2.5
Class
II
Equivalent
Samplers:
No
useful
cost
figures
for
PM
2.5
Class
II
Equivalent
Samplers
were
received
from
survey
respondents.
It
was
estimated
that
the
costs
for
PM
2.5
Class
II
Equivalent
samplers
are
approximately
1.35
times
higher
than
for
Reference/
Class
I
samplers.

Weighted
average,
composite
burden
and
cost
estimates
for
a
typical
designation
application
were
developed
by
summing
up
the
estimates
for
all
the
different
analyzer
categories,
after
multiplying
each
by
a
factor
based
on
the
expected
fraction
of
total
applications
expected
over
the
next
3
years
for
each
analyzer
category.
The
fractions
used
for
this
purpose
are
as
follows:

20%
Gas
Analyzers
5%
Open
Path
Analyzers
30%
PM
10
Monitors
40%

6)
ISO
9001:
No
useful
cost
figures
were
received
from
respondents.
Instead,
data
provided
to
EPA
by
four
ISO­
9001
consultants
were
reviewed
and
used
to
develop
ISO
9001
cost
estimates
as
detailed
below:
D­
2
Contractor

s
Startup
Cost
for
Establishing
ISO
9001
includes
(
1)
a
pre­
assessment
meeting;
(
2)
preliminary
evaluations;
(
3)
registration
assessment;
(
4)
PM
2.5
checklist
including
evaluation
and
registration;
and
(
5)
training
costs.
These
costs
are
one­
time
fees
and
can
range
from
a
combined
total
of
$
15,250
to
$
34,500
depending
on
the
size
of
the
facility.
The
average
cost
is
therefore
about
$
24,900.
Annualizing
this
cost
over
a
three­
year
period
results
in
approximately
$
8,300
per
year.
Assuming
that
40
percent
of
the
companies
already
have
ISO
9001
programs
in
place,
the
annual
cost
is
$
4,980.
Assuming
further
that
these
costs
will
be
incurred
only
by
companies
applying
for
PM
2.5
methods
results
in
an
annual
cost
of
approximately
$
2,241.

Contractor

s
ISO
9001
Maintenance
Cost
includes
(
1)
continuous
assessment;
(
2)
ISO
file
maintenance
fee;
and
(
3)
continuous
checks
for
PM
2.5
checklist.
These
costs
are
annual
fees
and
can
range
from
a
combined
total
of
$
2,375
to
$
6,875
depending
on
the
size
of
the
facility.
The
average
cost
is
therefore
$
4,625
per
year.
Assuming
that
these
costs
will
be
incurred
only
by
companies
applying
for
PM
2.5
methods
results
in
an
annual
cost
of
approximately
$
2,081.

In­
House
Startup
Cost
for
Establishing
ISO
9001
includes
labor
cost
for
management,
technical/
professional,
and
clerical
staff.

a)
Management
Startup
Cost
for
Establishing
ISO
9001:
Management
labor
hours
range
from
32
hours
per
year
to
120
hours
per
year
depending
on
the
size
of
the
facility.
These
hours
are
used
for
management
reviews.
The
average
management
labor
hours
is
therefore
76
hours
per
year.
Assuming
that
40
percent
of
the
companies
already
have
ISO
9001
programs
in
place,
the
annual
burden
is
45.6
hours,
and
assuming
further
that
these
hours
will
be
incurred
only
by
companies
applying
for
PM
2.5
methods
results
in
an
annual
burden
of
20.5
hours.

b)
Technical/
Professional
Startup
Cost
for
Establishing
ISO
9001:
Technical/
professional
labor
hours
include
training
internal
ISO
coordinators
and
auditors.
It
is
assumed
that
2
to
5
technical/
professional
staff
are
involved
at
24
to
40
hours
per
staff,
resulting
in
48
to
200
hours
depending
on
the
size
of
the
facility.
The
average
technical/
professional
labor
hours
are
therefore
124
hours
per
year.
Annualizing
this
cost
over
a
three­
year
period
results
in
approximately
42
hours
per
year.
Assuming
that
40
percent
of
the
companies
already
have
ISO
9001
programs
in
place,
gives
a
burden
of
25.2
hours
per
year,
and
assuming
further
that
these
hours
will
be
incurred
only
by
companies
applying
for
PM
2.5
methods
results
in
an
annual
burden
of
11.3
hours.

c)
Clerical
Startup
Cost
for
Establishing
ISO
9001:
None
identified
In­
House
Maintenance
Cost
for
Establishing
ISO
9001
includes
labor
cost
for
management,
technical,
and
clerical
staff.

a)
Management
ISO
9001
Maintenance
Cost:
Management
labor
hours
range
from
32
hours
per
year
to
120
hours
per
year
depending
on
the
size
of
the
facility.
These
hours
are
used
for
management
reviews.
The
average
management
labor
hours
is
therefore
76
hours
per
year.
Assuming
that
these
hours
will
be
incurred
only
by
companies
applying
for
PM
2.5
methods
results
in
an
annual
burden
of
34.2
hours.

b)
Technical/
Professional
ISO
Maintenance
Cost:
Technical/
professional
labor
hours
include
reviewing,
recommending
revisions,
and
approving
internal
audits.
It
is
assumed
that
2
to
20
technical/
professional
staff
are
involved
at
16
to
24
hours
per
staff,
resulting
in
32
to
480
hours
per
year
depending
on
the
size
of
the
facility.
The
average
technical/
professional
labor
hours
is
therefore
256
hours
per
year.
Assuming
that
these
hours
will
be
incurred
only
by
companies
applying
for
PM
2.5
methods
results
in
an
annual
burden
of
115.2
hours.

c)

Clerical
labor
hours
include
drafting
new

It
is
assumed
that
48
to
675
clerical
hours
are
needed
for
these
tasks
depending
on
the
size
of
the
facility.
The
average
clerical
labor
hours
is
therefore
362
hours
per
year.
Assuming
that
these
hours
will
be
incurred
only
by
companies
applying
for
PM
2.5
methods
results
in
an
annual
burden
of
162.9
hours.
