Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Other
Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart EEEE)
apply to very small municipal waste combustion units and institutional
waste incineration units. A new incineration unit subject to this
subpart should meet either one of two criteria: (1) Commenced
construction after December 9, 2004; or (2) commenced reconstruction or
modification either on or after June 16, 2006. A very small municipal
waste combustion unit is any municipal waste combustion unit that has
the capacity to combust less than 35 tons per day of municipal solid
waste or refuse-derived fuel. An institutional waste incineration unit
is any combustion unit that combusts institutional waste and is a
distinct operating unit of the institutional facility that generated
the waste. Institutional waste is solid waste that is combusted at any
institutional facility using controlled flame combustion in an
enclosed, distinct operating unit with one of the following
characteristics: (1) whose design does not provide for energy recovery;
or (2) operated without energy recovery; or (3) operated with only
waste heat recovery. Institutional waste also means solid waste
combusted on site in an air curtain incinerator that is a distinct
operating unit of any institutional facility. 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, subpart EEEE.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: OSWI units, which include two
subcategories: VSMWC units that combust less than 35 tons per day of
waste and IWI units.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart EEEE).
Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually, and annually.
Total estimated burden: 1,210 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $153,000 (per year), which includes $10,000
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
adjustment decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is
primarily due to more accurate estimates of existing sources, which is
based on the revised facility inventory developed in support of the
August 2020 proposed revisions and discussed in the proposed supporting
statement (EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0156-0146). The decrease in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs, compared with the costs in the previous ICR,
is due to the decrease in the estimate of existing sources.
Additionally, this ICR corrects an error in the Agency's burden from
the most-recently approved ICR. The most recently approved ICR applied
estimated burden for preparation of annual summary reports and applied
the burden to all affected facilities. However, the annual summary
report is prepared by the Designated Administrator of a State or
Federal Plan, which is not applicable to this NSPS. This ICR corrects
the estimated burden by removing the annual summary report from the
Agency's activities.
