Title: NSPS--Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2163.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0563.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2009.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)--Other Solid
Waste Incineration (OSWI) units were proposed on December 8, 2004, and
promulgated on December 16, 2005. These regulations apply to very small
municipal waste combustion units and institutional waste incineration
units. A new incineration unit subject to this subpart should meet one
of the two criteria: (1) Commenced construction after December 9, 2004;
or (2) commenced reconstruction or modification on or after June 16,
2006.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make a one-
time-only report of the date of construction or reconstruction,
notification of the actual date of startup, notification of any
physical or operational change to existing facility that may increase
the rate of emission of the regulated pollutant, notification of
initial performance test, and results of initial performance test.
Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction, or
any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative.
Performance tests are the Agency's records of a source's initial
capability to comply with emissions standards and not the operating
conditions under which compliance was to achieve. Annual and semiannual
reports are also required.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart
must maintain a file of these measurements and retain the file for at
least five years following the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records.
All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are
sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart EEEE, as
authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The
required information consists of emissions data and other information
that have been determined to be private.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for EPA
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average zero
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose and provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes
[[Page 898]]
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. All existing
ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements that have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners and operators of other solid
waste incineration units.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 0.
Frequency of Response: Initially, annually and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 0.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $0.
Changes in the Estimates: There are no changes in the total
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. At present, there are no OSWI units that are
currently subject to the regulations, and it is estimated that no new
units are expected to be constructed or operated over the next three
years. It is assumed that potential respondents would use alternative
methods of waste disposal that are more economical, e.g. landfills,
rather than replacing existing OSWI units. No respondent or agency
burdens or costs have been estimated and no annual burden is expected.
