Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Existing Commercial and
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart
DDDD) fulfill the requirements of sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air
Act (CAA) and affect the administrator of an air quality program in a
state or United States protectorate with one or more existing
commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) units. These
regulations apply to sources commencing construction on or before June
4, 2010, or to sources commencing modification or reconstruction
between June 1, 2001, and August 7, 2013. The guidelines do not apply
directly to CISWI unit owners and operators, since they are implemented
through state implementation plans (SIP). If a state does not develop,
adopt, and submit an approved state plan, or if a state's plan is not
approved, the EPA must promulgate a Federal implementation plan to
implement the emission guidelines in a state without its own SIP. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part
60, subpart DDDD. In general, all emission guideline standards require
initial notification reports, 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, and are required of all affected facilities
subject to the emission guidelines.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Commercial and Industrial Solid
Waste Incineration (CISWI) units commencing construction either on or
before June 4, 2010, or to sources commencing either modification or
reconstruction between June 1, 2001 and August 7, 2013.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart DDDD).
Estimated number of respondents: 74 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually and annually.
Total estimated burden: 16,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $3,110,000 (per year), which includes
$1,170,000 in
[[Page 58498]]
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) the
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden.
There is a slight increase in the capital and O&M costs due to an
adjustment to the estimated cost per respondent to reflect 2020 dollars
using the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI), Equipment Cost
Index, and the use of updated labor rates for continuous parameter
monitoring from the most-recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report
(September 2021).
