Assuming
20%
of
the
1
facility(
s)
tested
per
year
fail,
an
annual
average
of
0.2
facilities
would
fail
the
performance
test.
50%
of
the
facilities
that
fail
would
require
retesting
(
0.1).
Retesting
preparation
requires
16
person­
hours
of
Agency
time
for
a
notice
and
a
conference
(
1.6
hours
per
year).
If
EPA
witnesses
0.3
retest
every
3
years
(
10%
of
retest),
EPA
would
witness
0.09
retests
per
year.
At
120
hours
per
retest
EPA
would
expend
an
average
of
12
person­
hours
witnessing
retests;
compliance
order
preparation
would
require
40
hours
for
each
of
the
0.09
test
per
year,
or
3.6
person­
hours
per
year;
delay
in
testing
for
the
10%
of
the
0.09
tests
witnessed
by
EPA
would
require
1.2
hours.
The
total
person­
hours
expended
for
attending
performance
retests
would
be
1.6
(
preparation)
plus
1.2
(
retesting)
plus
3.6
(
preparing
orders)
plus
1.2
(
witnessing
delayed
retests)
equals
7.6
hours
per
year
(
which
is
rounded
to
8
hours
per
year).
