Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Small
Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR part 60, subpart AAAA) apply to both
existing facilities and new facilities with small municipal waste
combustors (MWCs) that combust greater than 35 tons per day (tpd), but
with less than 250 tpd 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, and are required of all affected facilities
subject to NSPS.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of small
municipal waste combustors.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart AAAA).
Estimated number of respondents: 6 (total).
Frequency of response: Annually, semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 18,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,180,000 (per year), which includes
$154,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The adjustment increase
in respondent burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an
increase in the number of respondents. The number of respondents
reflects one new facility over the past three years. There is an
increase in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs due to the
increase in the number of respondents over the past three years.
However, no additional respondents are predicted during the three-year
period of this ICR.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
