Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial
Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) units (40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD)
apply to any air quality program in either a state or a United States
protectorate with one or more existing CISWI units that commenced
construction either on or before April 29, 2010. In general, all
emission guidelines 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,
subpart DDDD.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of existing
CISWI units.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart DDDD).
Estimated number of respondents: 78 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannual, annual.
Total estimated burden: 9,890 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $12,200,000 (per year), which includes
$11,000,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This is due to several considerations. The growth
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no
change in the number of respondents. The regulations have changed over
the past three years; however, the amendments did not result in any
changes in burden. The labor calculations for incinerators were
corrected to remove one instance in the previous ICR, where labor costs
for continuous parameter monitoring were double-counted. The labor
calculations for incinerators were also corrected to revise the number
of respondents submitting a status report, corrective action summary,
and semiannual report to reflect reports submitted for 10 percent of
the total number of CISWI units. The overall result is a decrease in
burden hours. The costs for annual performance testing were updated
from 2008 to 2020 using the CEPCI Index, resulting in an increase in
O&M costs. The monitoring costs were updated from 2008 values to 2020
values using the CEPCI Index and Bureau of Labor Statistics data,
resulting in an increase in monitoring costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
