b
The
EPA
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards
has
indicated
that
there
has
been
no
significant
change
in
this
sector
since
the
rule
was
promulgated.
Therefore,
we
have
assumed
that
there
are
71
existing
sources
subject
to
the
standard.
This
estimate
is
based
on
about
20
percent
of
the
86
(
or
17)
existing
steel
pickling
facilities
and
acid
regeneration
plants
at
the
time
of
rule
development
may
be
area
sources
that
would
not
be
subject
to
the
standard.
We
have
also
that
one
new
source
at
one
facility
would
begin
operation
during
the
next
3­
year
period
and
would
be
required
to
comply
with
one­
time
only
activities.
Based
on
these
assumptions,
the
average
number
of
respondents
per
year
for
this
ICR
would
be
71.3.
For
this
ICR,
we
have
further
assume
that
all
sources
are
in
compliance
with
the
existing
rule
requirements
and
none
have
requested
a
compliance
extension.

c
Estimated
hours
for
performance
test
and
report
by
EPA
Method
26A.

d
The
new
source
will
be
required
to
conduct
an
initial
performance
test
and
we
assume
will
not
have
to
repeat
it.

e
All
existing
sources
(
71)
are
required
to
conduct
an
annual
performance
test.

f
Assumes
10%
of
all
existing
sources
(
or
7.1)
must
write
a
revised
maintenance
plan.

g
The
new
source
will
be
required
to
meet
initial
notifications
requiremenets.

h
Assumes
one
reconstructed
source
at
one
facility
over
the
3­
yr
period,
for
0.3
occurrences
per
respondent
(
1/
3=
0.3).

i
Assumes
no
respondents
will
request
a
NESHAP
waiver.

j
Assumes
20%
of
respondents
(
or
14.26)
report
excess
emissions
semiannually
and
the
remaining
80
%
(
or
57.04
sources)
report
no
excess
emissions
over
the
3­
year
period.

k
Assumes
5%
of
respondents
(
or
3.57)
will
have
a
startup,
shutdown,
or
malfunction
event
not
managed
according
to
the
plan
that
requires
a
semiannual
report.

l
Assumes
3
hours
per
respondent
per
week.

m
Assume
that
on
average
respondents
transmits
3
reports
per
year
(
reports
that
may
be
transmitted
include
performance
test
reports,
progress
reports,
semiannual
reports,
and
immediate
reports
if
corrective
actions
taken
are
different
from
the
startup,

and

plan).
