Abstract: This ICR is a description of the information collection
requirements for combustion units that use non-hazardous secondary
materials (NHSM) that are solid wastes and combines and harmonizes
prior regulatory amendments into one ICR. This ICR also includes the
burden associated with the 2016 amendments to the Final Rule (81 FR
6688, February 8, 2016), which added three materials to the list of
categorical non-waste fuels: (1) construction and demolition (C&D) wood
processed from construction and demolition debris according to best
management practices; (2) paper recycling residuals (PRRs) generated
from the recycling of recovered paper, paperboard and corrugated
containers and combusted by paper recycling mills whose boilers are
designed to burn solid fuel; and (3) creosote-treated railroad ties
that are processed and combusted in units designed to burn both biomass
and fuel oil as part of normal operations and not solely as part of
start-up or shut-down operations. Finally, this ICR includes the burden
associated with the 2018 amendments to the Final Rule (83 FR 5317,
February 7, 2018), which added three types of other treated railroad
ties (OTRTs) to the list of categorical non-waste fuels: (1) Creosote-
borate treated railroad ties, and mixtures of creosote, borate and
copper naphthenate treated railroad ties that are processed and
combusted in units designed to burn both biomass and fuel oil; (2)
Copper naphthenate treated railroad ties that are processed and then
combusted in units designed to burn biomass, biomass and fuel oil or
biomass and coal; and (3) Copper naphthenate-borate treated railroad
ties that are processed and then combusted in units designed to burn
biomass, biomass and fuel oil or biomass and coal.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are business or other for-profit organizations.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain benefit
(Sections 1004 and 2002 of RCRA).
Estimated number of respondents: 16.
Frequency of response: One-time.
Total estimated burden: 352 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $34,581 (per year), which includes $867
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 516 hours in this
renewal. This decrease is due to a drop in the number of respondents.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
