a)
The
average
annual
EPA
resource
requirement
estimates
have
been
based
on
the
EPA
costs
associated
with
initial
performance
tests
and
report/
notification
reviews
for
new
or
modified
presses.
It
is
expected
that
each
plant
would
have
no
more
than
one
new
or
modified
press
per
3
year
period.
The
3
new
facilities
expected
would
each
add
6
presses
over
the
3
year
period.
(

(
use
4)
presses
at
existing
facilities
and
6
presses
at
new
facilities
=
10)

b)
Assume
20
percent
of
initial
performance
tests
must
be
repeated
due
to
failure.

c)
Assume
an
hourly
wage
$
19.34
plus
110%
overhead
costs
which
equals
$
40.61.
