Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste
Combustors at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb apply to existing facilities
constructed on or before September 20, 1994 that own and operate
municipal waste combustion (MWC) units with a combustion capacity
greater than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste (large MWC
units). In general, all Emission Guidelines 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
Emission Guidelines.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of large
municipal waste combustors constructed on or before September 20, 1994.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart Cb).
Estimated number of respondents: 72 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and
annually.
[[Page 72482]]
Total estimated burden: 353,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $60,700,000 (per year), which includes
$1,400,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the estimates: The decrease in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). There is an
adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease in
labor hours is not due to any program changes. Instead, the decrease is
due to a decrease in the number of respondents to reflect facility
closures, corrections to the burden associated with familiarization
with regulatory requirements for existing sources, and corrections to
the number of facilities performing dioxin/furan testing based on the
current number of respondents. There is a decrease in the operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs due to the decrease in the number of
respondents over the past three years.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
