This ICR is
approved in pursuant to 5 CFR 1320. Before resubmission of this ICR
for extension, the Agency should reassess the estimate of the
number of sources affected by the provisions of the NSPS for small
municipal waste combustors under subpart AAAA, taking into account
experience with the paperwork requirements in the rule.
Furthermore, the agency should evaluate whether the burden-reducing
provisions promulgated in this NSPS have resulted in reduced
testing frequency for PM, dioxins/furans, HCl, cadmium, lead, and
mercury. If reduced reporting frequency is observed, the agency is
encouraged to incorporate these reductions in burden estimates
provided in the resubmission as adjustments to estimates contained
in this submittal, and the agency is encouraged to demonstrate how
those reductions were calculated from reports provided to the
agency by respondents.

combustor units are being achieved on a continuous basis.
