SUMMARY
Part
64
of
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations
(
CFR),
as
defined
in
the
Compliance
Assurance
Monitoring
(
CAM)
Rule,
requires
monitoring,
compliance
certification,
periodic
reporting,
and
record
keeping
information
collections
by
owners
and
operators
of
title
V
sources
with
controlled
pollutant
specific
emissions
units
that
have
a
pre­
control
potential
to
emit
major
amounts
of
regulated
air
pollutants.
CAM
identifies
two
categories
of
emission
units:

$
"
Large"
pollutant
specific
emission
units:
units
that
have
the
potential
to
emit,
with
controls,
the
applicable
regulated
air
pollutant
in
an
amount
equal
to
or
greater
than
the
amount
required
for
a
source
to
be
classified
as
a
major
source,
and
$
"
Other"
pollutant
specific
emission
units:
the
set
of
remaining
affected
pollutant
specific
emission
units
This
analysis
differentiates
between
these
two
types
of
units
because
they
are
subject
to
different
monitoring
requirements
(
e.
g.,
monitoring
frequency
requirements)
and
implementation
timetables
under
part
64.
There
is
no
difference
between
this
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)
Update
and
the
ICR
analysis
performed
for
the
original
1997
rule,
other
than
an
adjustment
for
the
general
level
of
prices
over
time
and
the
correction
of
several
computational
errors
that
affected
the
1997
ICR's
bottom
line
estimations
but
not
its
conclusions.
Consequently,
this
update
reports
an
average
annual
burden
to
sources
of
25
thousand
hours
for
"
Large"
units
and
111
thousand
hours
for
"
Other"
units,
with
an
estimated
annualized
cost
of
$
5.9
million
and
$
2.1
million,
respectively,
in
$
2001.
The
Agency
also
estimates
the
average
annual
burden
for
States
and
other
Permitting
Authorities
(
PAs)
at
10
thousand
hours
($
434
thousand)
for
"
Large"
units
and
27
thousand
($
1.2
milliion)
for
"
Other"
units,
for
a
total
annual
PA
burden
and
cost
of
37
thousand
hours
and
$
1.6
million
in
$
2001.
This
analysis
does
not
include
burden
and
cost
estimates
for
Federal
activities
because
the
small
number
of
sources
initiating
monitoring
within
the
three
year
period
covered
by
this
ICR
makes
the
impact
of
these
actions
negligible.
The
CAM
Rule
has
no
significant
impact
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities
(
SISNOSE)
and
requires
no
record
keeping
or
reporting
that
could
be
considered
an
unfunded
mandate.

REGULATORY
BACKGROUND
Part

of
the
Code

as
defined
in
the

with
controlled
pollutant
specific
emissions
units
that
have
a
precontrol
potential
to
emit
major
amounts
of
regulated
air
pollutants.
CAM
identifies
two
categories
of
emission
units:

$
"
Large"
pollutant
specific
emission
units:
units
that
have
the
potential
to
emit,
with
controls,
the
applicable
regulated
air
pollutant
in
an
amount
equal
to
or
greater
than
the
amount
required
for
a
source
to
be
classified
as
a
major
source,
and
$
"
Other"
pollutant
specific
emission
units:
the
set
of
remaining
affected
pollutant
specific
emission
units
This
analysis
differentiates
between
these
two
types
of
units
because
they
are
subject
to
different
monitoring
requirements
(
e.
g.,
monitoring
frequency
requirements)
and
implementation
timetables
under
part
64.
Upon
approval
by
the
permitting
authority
(
PA)
of
the
monitoring
proposed
by
the
source,
the
source
use
the
approved
monitoring
method
to
collect
data.
These
data
provide
the
basis
on
which
owners
or
operators
can
certify,
in
accordance
with
the
requirements
of
the
operating
permit
program,
the
compliance
of
their
emissions
units
with
the
applicable
requirements.
In
addition,
these
data
provide
the
basis
on
which
owners
or
operators
submit
monitoring
reports
on
no
less
than
a
semi­
annual
basis.
Consistent
with
the
recordkeeping
period
established
in
the
operating
permit
program,
CAM
requires
sources
to
store
and
maintain
these
data
for
at
least
five
years.
Implementational
delays
in
the
CAM
Rule
over
the
first
three
years
prevented
more
thatn
a
handful
of
"
Large"
sources
from
seeking
permits.
Consequently,
the
projected
impact
described
in
this
update
is
substantially
the
same
as
that
reported
in
the
1997
ICR.
In
the
next
three
years,
the
information
collection
and
capital
investment
requirements
of
the
CAM
program
will
involve

only
some
of
the
affected
pollutant
points.
When
fully
implemented,
the
Agency
estimates
the
CAM
program
will
involve
approximately
9,000
facilities,
covering
27,000
emissions
units.
This
ICR
estimates
the
expected
average
annual
burden
over
the
next
three
years
to
be
about
49,000
hours,
at
an
expected
cost
of
$
2.7
million.
The
activities
at

NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
NEED/
AUTHORITY
FOR
THE
COLLECTION
EPA's
operating
permit
and
CAM
programs
require
this
information.
The
operating
permit
program
requires
owners
or
operators
of
units
that
emit
air
pollutants
to
submit
annual
compliance
certifications,
to
submit
monitoring
results
at
least
semiannually,
and
to
report
deviations
promptly,
but
no
implementation
guidance
is
provided
within
the
operating
permit
program.
CAM
provides
the
vehicle
to
implement
operating
permits
program
requirements
in
a
cost­
effective
manner.
The
Clean
Air
Act
(
Act)
Amendments
of
1990,
Public
Law
101­
549,
enacted
on
November
15,
1990,
establish
the
legal
authority
for
this
information
collection.
Section
502(
b)
directs
EPA
to
promulgate
regulations
that
will
require
the
owners
or
operators
of
certain
stationary
sources
of
air
pollution
to
conduct
monitoring
and
to
make
compliance
certifications.
These
provisions
are
set
forth
in
both
title
V
(
operating
permits
provisions)
and
title
VII
(
enforcement
provisions)
of
the
1990
Amendments.
Title
V
directs
the
Agency
to
implement
monitoring
and
compliance
certification
requirements
through
the
operating
permits
program.
Section
503(
b)(
2)
requires
at
least
annual
certifications
of
compliance
with
permit
requirements
and
prompt
reporting
of
deviations
from
permit
requirements.
Section
504(
a)
mandates
that
owners
or
operators
submit
to
the
PA
the
results
of
any
required
monitoring
at
least
every
six
months.
This
section
also
requires
permits
to
include
"
such
other
conditions
as
are
necessary
to
assure
compliance
with
applicable
requirements"
of
the
Act.
Section
504(
b)
of
the
Act
also
allows
the
Agency
to
prescribe,
by
rule,
methods
and
procedures
for
determining
compliance,
and
states
that
continuous
emission
monitoring
systems
need
not
be
required
if
other
methods
or
procedures
provide
sufficiently
reliable
and
timely
information
for
determining
compliance.
Under
section
504(
c),
each
operating
permit
must
"
set
forth
inspection,
entry,
monitoring,
compliance
certification,
and
reporting
requirements
to
assure
compliance
with
the
permit
terms
and
conditions."
Title
VII
of
the
1990
Amendments
added
a
new
section
114(
a)(
3)
that
requires
EPA
to
promulgate
rules
on
enhanced
monitoring
and
compliance
certifications.
This
paragraph
provided,
in
part:

"
The
Administrator
shall
in
the
case
of
any
person
which
is
the
owner
or
operator
of
a
major
stationary
source,
and
may,
in
the
case
of
any
other
person,
require
enhanced
monitoring
and
submission
of
compliance
certifications.
Compliance
certifications
shall
include
(
A)
identification
of
the
applicable
requirement
that
is
the
basis
of
the
certification,
(
B)
the
method
used
for
determining
the
compliance
status
of
the
source,
(
C)
the
compliance
status,
(
D)
whether
compliance
is
continuous
or
intermittent,
(
E)
such
other
facts
as
the
Administrator
may
require."

The
1990
Amendments
also
revised
section
114(
a)(
1)
of
the
Act
to
provide
additional
authority
concerning
monitoring,
reporting,
and
record
keeping
requirements.
As
amended,
that
section
provides
the
Administrator
with
the
authority
to
require
any
owner
or
operator
of
a
source,
on
a
one­
time,
periodic
or
continuous
basis
to:

(
A)
establish
and
maintain
such
records;
(
B)
make
such
reports;
(
C)
install,
use,
and
maintain
such
monitoring
equipment;
(
D)
sample
such
emissions
(
in
accordance
with
such
procedures
or
methods,
at
such
locations,
at

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
reasonably
require.

Obtaining
ongoing
compliance
is
a
two­
step
process.
First,
the
Agency
must
assure
properly
designed
control
measures
are
installed
or
otherwise
employed.
These
measures
include
control
devices,
process
modifications,
operating
limitations
and
other
control
measures
as
applicable.
Furthermore,
the
Agency
must
assure
the
control
measures
are
proven
to
be
capable
of
achieving
applicable
requirements.
In
the
past,
this
step
has
been
addressed
through
new
source
review
permitting,
initial
stack
testing,
compliance
inspections
and
similar
mechanisms.
The
title
V
permit
application
and
review
process,
including
the
applicant's
initial
compliance
certification
and
compliance
plan
obligations,
will
add
another
tool
for
assuring
that
source
owners
or
operators
have
adopted
proper
control
measures
for
achieving
compliance.
The
second
step
involves
monitoring
by
sources
to
determine
continued
assurance
that
the
source's
control
measures,
once
installed
or
otherwise
employed,
are
properly
operated
and
maintained
so
that
they
do
not
deteriorate
to
the
point
where
the
owner
or
operator
fails
to
remain
in
compliance
with
applicable
requirements.
The
Agency
believes
that
monitoring,
reporting,
record
keeping
and
ongoing
or
recurring
compliance
certification
requirements
under
titles
V
and
VII
should
be
designed
so
that
owners
or
operators
carry
out
this
second
step
in
assuring
ongoing
compliance.
The
Agency
has
adopted
the
CAM
approach
to
assure
the
proper
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
measures
employed
by
sources.
CAM
establishes
monitoring
to:

(
1)
documenting
continued
operation
of
the
control
measures
within
ranges
of
specified
indicators
of
performance
(
such
as
emissions,
control
device
parameters
and
process
parameters)
that
are
designed
to
provide
a
reasonable
assurance
of
compliance
with
applicable
requirements;
(
2)
indicating
any
excursions
from
these
ranges;
and
(
3)
responding
to
the
data
so
that
excursions
are
corrected.

This
type
of
monitoring
is
an
appropriate
approach
to
enhanced
monitoring
in
the
context
of
title
V
permitting
for
significant
emission
units
that
use
control
devices
to
achieve
compliance
with
emission
limits.
In
particular,
CAM
1)
provides
cost­
effective
achievement
of
air
pollution
emission
reductions;
2)
establishes
voluntary
compliance
and
self­
certification
by
owners
or
operators;
and
3)
holds
owners
or
operators
accountable
for
regulated
air
pollutants
emitted
by
units.

SMALL
ENTITY
FLEXIBILITY
The
Agency
assessed
the
impacts
of
the
CAM
Rule
on
small
businesses,
governments,
and
organizations
in
Chapter
V
of
the
rule's
Regulatory
Impact
Analysis
in
1997.
This
assessment
still
holds
true,
indicating
the
CAM
Rule
will
probably
not
have
a
significant
impact
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities
(
SISNOSE).
For
additional
discussion
on
this
assertion,
the
Agency
invites
the
reader
to
review
the
CAM
Rule
RIA
and
ICR
from
1997.
The
Agency
determined
the
benefits
of
additional
monitoring
requirements
on
small
sources
of
pollution
would
not
justify
the
additional
cost
incurred
to
achieve
them.
Section
502(
a)
of
the
Act
allows
that:
"
The
Administrator,
may,
in
the
Administrator's
discretion
and
consistent
with
the
applicable
provisions
of
[
the
Clean
Air
Act],
promulgate
regulations
to
exempt
one
of
more
source
categories
(
in
whole
or
in
part)
from
the
requirements
of
[
exempt
one
or
several
source
categories
or
subcategories,
in
whole
or
in
part,
from
the
requirements
[
of
title
V]
if
the
Administrator
finds
that
compliance
with
such
requirements
is
impracticable,
infeasible,
or
unnecessarily
burdensome
on
such
categories,
except
that
the
Administrator
may
not
exempt
any

A
small
source
is
not
necessarily
a
small
entity,
nor
is
there
a
direct
relationship
between
large
sources
and
large
entities.
Source
size
is
a
function
of
the
level
of
its
emissions,
and
entity
size
depends
on
the
productive
capacity
and
employment
of
the
firm,

to
United
States
Small
Business
Administration
guidelines.

major
source
from
such
requirements."
Acting
under
this
authority,
the
Agency
exercised
its
discretionary
authority
and
determined
the
current
level
of
monitoring
performed
by
small
sources
of
pollution
2
is
sufficient
to
fulfill
the
requirements
of
part
64,
and
decided
to
not
subject
these
small
sources
of
pollution
to
part
64
monitoring.

4(
d)
COLLECTION
SCHEDULE
Submission
of
initial
source
information
required
under
part
64
depends
on
whether
the
unit
is
classified
as
"
Large"
or
"
Other."
If
the
source's
permit
application
has
not
been
filed,
is
being
revised,
or
is
not
complete,
"
Large"
units
must
submit
monitoring
information
on
or
before
the
180th
day
after
publication
of
the
final
rule
in
the
Federal
Register.
If
these
conditions
are
not
met,
sources
must
submit
monitoring
design
criteria
at
the
first
significant
permit
revision,
or
at
permit
renewal,
whichever
occurs
first.
For
all
other
pollutant­
specific
emission
units
subject
to
part
64
(
i.
e.,
"
Other"
units),
the
owner
or
operator
shall
submit
the
required
information
upon
renewal
of
a
part
70
or
71
permit.
Upon
approval
of
the
permit,
sources
must
collect
the
information
specified
in
their
permits
in
accordance
with
the
collection
frequency
specified,
maintaining
these
data
for
at
least
five
years.
Sources
must
also
submit
semi­
annual
monitoring
reports
and
annual
compliance
certifications.
These
requirements
have
not
changed
since
the
initial
ICR
was
approved,
and
because
of
the
delay
in
program
implementation,
the
scope
of
their
effect
has
not
changed
significantly,
either.

ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE
CONSIDERATIONS
The
President's
priorities
in
promoting
environmental
justice
are
contained
in
Executive
Order
#
12898.
In
and
of
themselves,
monitoring
and
enforcement
requirements
do
not
provide
many
opportunities
for
identifying
potential
environmental
justice
concerns.
The
greatest
opportunity
for
insuring
and
promoting
environmental
justice
under
the
CAM
Rule
actually
occur
under
part
70
and
71,
which
provide
the
framework
for
public
participation
and
empowerment.

NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
5(
a)
NONDUPLICATION
For
approval
of
a
proposed
ICR,
the
Agency
must
ensure
that
it
has
taken
every
reasonable
step
to
avoid
duplication
in
its
paperwork
requirements
in
accordance
with
5
CFR
1320.4.
The
part
64
rulemaking
is
mandated
by
the
Act,
and
supports
the
title
V
permit
program
under
40
CFR
part
70
as
well
as
title
VII
enforcement
provisions.
Recognizing
that
many
sources
have
already
implemented
monitoring
strategies
to
fulfill
their
part
70
requirements,
the
part
64
monitoring
guidelines
were
carefully
crafted
by
the
Agency
and
OMB
to
minimize
any
unnecessary
duplication.
The
part
64
CAM
Rule
has
also
been
carefully
designed
to
function,
as
much
as
possible,
in
a
manner
complementary
to
that
of
the
part
70
operating
permit
program
managed
by
PAs.

5(
b)
CONSULTATIONS
The
Agency
has
continued
discussions
with
stakeholders
through
a
series
of
workshops
and
public
meetings.
The
workgroups
at
these
meetings
discussed
and
review
CAM
requirements
and
reviewed
extensive
public
input
concerning
the
development
and
implementation
of
CAM.

5(
c)
EFFECTS
OF
LESS
FREQUENT
COLLECTION
As
part
of
the
permit
application
required
under
the
operating
permit
program,
an
owner
or
operator
must
submit
to
the
PA
monitoring
that
satisfies
the
design
requirements
in
§
64.3.
In
addition,
it
must
be
demonstrated
that
the
proposed
monitoring
is
sufficient
to
provide
compliance
status
information.
Without
such
information,
PAs
will
be
unable
to
issue
complete
permits.
Furthermore,
owners
or
operators
will
be
unable
to
certify
compliance
with
emissions
limitations
or
standards
unless
costly
reference
test
methods
are
employed.
Part
64
requires
semi­
annual
reports
because
the
statue
requires
all
monitoring
reports
to
be
submitted
at
least
semiannually
(
section
504(
a)).
In
addition,
without
timely
evaluation
of
the
reports,
excess
emissions
of
regulated
air
pollutants
could
rise.
Consequently,
less
frequent
collection
of
monitoring
information
is
not
permissible
under
the
statute
and
could
result
in
a
net
loss
of
environmental
quality
and
was
not
considered
for
this
rulemaking.

5(

GENERAL
GUIDELINES
OMB's
general
guidelines
for
information
collections
must
be
adhered
to
by
all
Federal
Agencies
for
approval
of
any
rulemaking's
collection
methodology.
In
accordance
with
the
requirements
of
5
CFR
1320.6,
the
Agency
believes:

Part

regulations
do
not
require

Special

has
been
given
in
the
design
of
part
64
to
ensure
that
the
requirements
are,
to
the
greatest
extent
possible,
the
same
for
Federal
requirements
and
those
permitting
authorities
who
already
have

7.
Respondents
do
not
receive
remuneration
for
the
preparation
of
reports
required
by
the
Act
or
part
64.

8.
To
the
greatest
extent
possible,
the
Agency
has
taken
advantage
of
automated
methods
of
reporting.

9.
The
Agency
believes
the
impact
of
part
64
on
small
entities
to
be
insignificant
and
not
disproportionate.

The
record
keeping
and
reporting
requirements
contained
in
the
CAM
program
regulations
do
not
exceed
any
of
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
guidelines
contained
in
5
CFR
1320.6,
except
for
the
guideline
which
limits
retention
of
records
by
respondents
to
three
years.
The
CAM
program
and
the
operating
permit
program
require
both
respondents
and
State
or
local
agencies
to
retain
records
for
a
period
of
five
years.
The
justification
for
this
exception
is
found
in
28
U.
S.
C.
2462,
which
specifies
five
years
as
the
general
statute
of
limitations
for
Federal

to

ESTIMATING
THE
BURDEN
AND
COST
OF
THE
COLLECTION
This
section
discusses
the
development
of
burden
estimates
and
their
conversion
estimates
into
costs,
which
are
separated
into
burden
costs
and
capital
and
O&
M
costs.
The
methodology
employed
in
this
ICR
matches
that
used
in
the
original
1997
ICR.
According
to
the
latest
guidance
for
ICRs,
capital
and
O&
M
costs
display
the
cost
of
any
new
capital
equipment
the
source
or
PA
may
have
to
purchase
solely
for
information
collection,
assimilation,
and
storage
purposes.
For
example,
if
a
source
had
to
purchase
a
new
mini­
computer
to
store
and
manipulate
CEM
data,
that
computer
would
be
a
cost
of
administration
subject
to
reporting
in
the
ICR.
In
addition,
the
latest
guidance
instructs
the
Agency
to
differentiate
the
burden
associated
with
a
source's
labor
and
that
which
it
hires
through
outside
contractors.
However,
a
sensitivity
analysis
of
the
effect
of
contracted
labor
on
the
CAM
Rule
reveals
that,
if
all
of
the
affected
sources
were
to
employ
contractors
to
perform
as
much
as
half
of
the
work
necessary
for
full
compliance
with
the
rule,
overall
costs
would
increase
by
less
than
five
percent.
Consequently,
this
analysis
assumes
sources
will
not
employ
contracted
labor.

Note
that
the
Federal
Register
document
required
under
5
CFR
1320.8(
d),
soliciting
comments
on
this
collection
of
information
was

ESTIMATING
RESPONDENT
BURDEN
This
section
presents
estimates
of
the
burden
hours
expected
to
be
incurred
at
sources
with
emission
units
affected
by
Compliance
Assurance
Monitoring,
applying
the
same
methodology
used
for
this
rulemaking's
original
RIA
and
ICR.
Results
are
contained
in
Tables
6­
1
through
6­
4.
These
tables
summarize
burden
impacts
for
all
pollutants
by
activity.
The
burden
estimates
reflect
the
expert
judgement
of
EPA
staff,
contractors,
and
industry
experts.
All
burden
estimates
represent
the
increment
over
part
70
requirements.
Due
to
the
differences
in
monitoring
frequency
requirements
and
implementation
schedules
for
the
"
Large"
and
"
Other"
emission
units,
the
Agency
calculated
the
associated
burdens
separately.
Tables
6­
1
and
6­
2
report
labor
burdens
for
each
type
of
units.
The
estimation
methodology
employed
in
this
ICR
is
the
same
as
that
used
in
the
initial
ICR
of
1997.
Average
annual
labor
burden
is
computed
as
the
arithmetic
average
of
the
sum
of
the
annual
labor
burden
across
the
three
years
of
the
information
collection.
Total
annual
burden
for
the
five
State
sample
is
computed
as
the
product
of
the
annual
labor
hours
per
respondent
for
a
specific
activity
times
the
number
of
respondents.
National
totals
are
derived
by
multiplying
the
values
from
the
five
State
sample
by
ten.
This
analysis
estimates
the
national
average
annual
labor
burden
over
the
next
three
years
for
"
Large"
and
"
Other"
emissions
units
at
about
25
thousand
hours
and
111
thousand
hours,
respectively.
Differences
between
the
prior
ICR
and
the
results
in
Tables
6.1
and
6.2
are
due
to
changes
in
labor
cost
and
arithmetic
errors
revealed
during
this
update.

ESTIMATING
RESPONDENT
COSTS
Tables
6­
1
and
6­
2
also
show
the
costs
associated
with
each
type
of
emission
unit.
Burden
costs
in
Tables
6­
1
and
6­
2
are
classified
into
one
of
three
categories:
costs
associated
with
CAM
design
activities,
record
keeping
activities,
or
reporting
activities.
Also,
for
capital
and
O&
M
costs,
the
tables
only
report
aggregate
totals.
The
nature
of
the
data
prohibits
any
further
disaggregation.
All
cost
estimates
represent
the
increment
over
part
70
requirements.
Consistent
with
the
1997
ICR,
this
study
identifies
two
labor
categories:
a
management
level
category
with
a
wage
rate
of
$
75/
hour
(
revised
from
the
1997
ICR
to
2001
dollars)
and
a
technical
staff
category
with
a
rate
of
$
38/
hour
(
also
revised
to
2001
dollars).
These
rate
assumptions
are
consistent
with
other
RIAs
and
ICRs
prepared
by
this
Agency.
The
cost
of
the
Federal
burden
included
in
this
ICR
was
derived
through
a
process
determined
by
the
EPA's
Office
of
General
Council
(
OGC).
The
OGC
determined
the
appropriated
base
salary
level
to
employ
was
a
GS
11,
Step
3
(
FY
95
Schedule),
with
the
addition
of
one­
eleventh
of
a
supervisory
staff
member's
salary
at
GS
13
Step
3
(
FY
95
Schedule)
and
oneeighth
of
a
support
staff
person's
salary
at
GS
6
Step
6
(
FY
95
Schedule).
To
this
base
salary,
OGC
instructed
the
EPA
to
add
16
percent
for
benefits,
10
percent
for
sick
leave
and
vacation,
and
a
factor
of
32.3
percent
for
general
overhead.
This
total
loaded
salary
was
then
divided
by
2,080
hours
to
establish
a
per­
hour
rate
for
Federal
employees.
This
rate
also
applies
to
state
and
other
PA's
analysts'
salaries.
From
Tables
6­
1
and
6­
2,
the
national
total
annualized
cost
($
2001)
is
$
1.2
million
for
"
Large"
units
and
$
5.2
million
for
the
"
Other"
units.
The
Agency
calculated
capital
and
O&
M
costs
separately
for
items
associated
with
the
collection
request.
All
capital
equipment
costs
for
durable
monitoring
equipment
are
annualized
over
the
expected
life
of
the
equipment
and
discounted
at
a
seven
percent
real
rate.
Tables

shows
the
capital
and
O&
M
costs
associated
with
"
Large"
units,
reported
at
$
123
thousand
per
year.
"
Other"
emissions
units
have
no
incremental
capital
or
O&
M
costs
over
the
three
years
of
this
ICR.

ESTIMATING
STATE
BURDEN
AND
COST
Tables
6­
3
and
6­
4
show
the
burden
and
costs
for
State
and
Local
Agencies
for
"
Large"
and
"
Other"
units,
respectively.
The
Agency
believes
the
activities
shown
in
the
tables
fully
define
the
State
and
Local
Agencies'
burden
under
part
64.
The
labor
hour
estimates
for
each
activity
are
based
on
the
expert
knowledge
of
EPA
staff.
The
labor
estimates
for
these
activities
reflect
the
PA
hours
required
to
complete
the
activities
for
one
pollutant
specific
emissions
unit.
Depending
on
the
activity,
the
labor
hours
required
may
be
broken
out
by
the
type
of
existing
monitoring
and
the
type
of
response.
Costs
are
reported
in
2001
dollars
and
reflect
a
time
horizon
of
three
years.
Total
annualized
costs
for
all
PAs
are
$
434
thousand
for
"
Large"
units
and
$
1.2
million
for
"
Other"
units.
The
operating
permits
program
requires
the
cost
of
administering
a
State
permit
program
to
be
fully
repaid
out
of
the
permitting
fees
collected
by
that
State.
Therefore,
the
true
cost
of
the
CAM
Rule
to
States
and
other
PAs
is
zero,
and
the
recorded
cost
of
administration
should
be
allocated
to
sources.

This
analysis
does
not
include
burden
and
cost
estimates
for
Federal
activities.
Based
on
historical
data
for
related
actions
under
other
regulations,
the
Agency's
permitting
experts
determined
each
request
can
be
processed
with
no
more
than
two
hours
of
labor.
Because
of
the
small
number
of
sources
initiating
monitoring
within
the
three
year
period
covered
by
this
ICR,
the
impact
of
these
actions
is
expected
to
be
negligible.

REASONS
FOR
CHANGE
IN
BURDEN
The
changes
in
the
burden
associated
with
the
CAM
Rule
since
the
approval
of
the
initial
ICR
in
1997
are
associated
with
better
estimation
of
costs,
gained
through
experience,
as
well
as
adjustment
for
the
rate
of
inflation
and
correction
of
several
arithmetic
and
typographical
errors
that
did
not
change
the
conclusions
of
this
analysis.

6(
f)
BURDEN
STATEMENT
Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
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
