Abstract: The Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: Sewage Sludge Incineration (SSI) Units Subpart LLLL, fulfill the requirements of sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), which require EPA to promulgate NSPS for solid waste incineration units. The information collection activities required by the NSPS include: siting requirements, operator training and qualification requirements, testing, monitoring and reporting requirements, one-time and periodic reports, and the maintenance of records. These activities will enable the Designated Administrator to determine initial compliance with the emission limits for the regulated pollutants, monitor compliance with operating parameters, and ensure that facilities conduct the proper planning and operator training.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase in respondent and Agency burden in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The increase is due to an adjustment in the estimated number of sources. The previous ICR estimated two new units subject to the standard during the initial three-year compliance period. However, recent research indicates there are still no units subject to the standard at this time. Those same two new units are expected to become subject during three-year period of this ICR, and another unit is expected to be modified and therefore also subject to the NSPS. This change in estimate also results in an increase in total capital and O&M costs.
