EPA is proposing standards of
performance for new sources in the commercial and industrial solid
waste incineration source category. These proposed emission
standards for new sources are based upon EPA's proposed
determination as to what constitutes the maximum achievable control
technology (MACT) for the source category. The performance
standards includes emission standards and monitoring, reporting,
and recordkeeping requirements for new sources of lead, mercury,
cadmium, particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, dioxins/furans,
oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and opacity.
The burden estimate for this ICR is based upon our anticipation
that there will be no new or reconstructed facilities in the 3-year
period covered by this ICR.
The new burden summarized in
this ICR results from information collection activities imposed by
the Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Unit
Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources - Subpart CCCC.
However, as noted earlier in this supporting statement, this burden
estimate accompanies a final new source performance standard that
addresses a remand of the 2000 CISWI rule. Rule changes since the
2000 CISWI rule have re-established emission limits for units
subject to the 2000 rule, as well as removing most of the
exemptions present in the previous rule. A separate rulemaking
establishes a solid waste definition that also will affect the
population of combustion units subject to CISWI, primarily
including waste burning boilers, process heaters, and cement kilns.
However, many of these units are subject to other NESHAP or NSPS if
they are not burning waste materials. We anticipate that most new
entities would evaluate their fuel sources and opt for non-waste
materials, but realize that entities that use small remote
incinerators may not have suitable alternatives to incineration.
Therefore, this burden estimate accounts for the possibility of new
small remote incinerators being built over the next three
years.
