Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Municipal
Waste Combustors (40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea and Eb) apply to existing
and new facilities with a municipal waste combustor unit capacity
greater than 225 megagrams per day of municipal solid waste. In
general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance
tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 60,
subparts Ea and Eb.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of municipal
waste combustor units.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart Ea and Eb).
Estimated number of respondents: 22 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and
annually.
Total estimated burden: 32,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $3,320,000 (per year), which includes
$197,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The
decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to more
accurate estimations in both the number of new and existing sources.
The number of new sources is revised down from one to zero as there is
no indication of any new MWC facilities being constructed over the next
three years. The number of existing sources subject to 40 CFR part 60,
subpart Ea has been revised from the most-recently approved ICR to
reflect
[[Page 4237]]
the closure of one facility. The decrease in respondents subject to
subpart Ea also results in a decrease to the operation and monitoring
costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
