The emission guidelines address
existing OSWI units that commenced construction before proposal of
the emission guidelines (December 9, 2004). The emission guidelines
do not apply directly to existing OSWI unit owners and operators.
The emission guidelines can be considered a model regulation that a
State agency can use in developing plans to implement the emission
guidelines. If a State does not develop, adopt, and submit an
approvable State plan, the Federal government must develop a plan
to implement the emission guidelines. This ICR includes the burden
for an affected entity even if it is ultimately regulated under a
State or Federal plan.
There is an adjustment increase
in the total estimated labor burden as currently identified in the
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This not due to any program
changes. The increase occurred because we assume existing
respondents will take some time to re-familiarize themselves with
the rule each year. In addition, the cost estimate has been updated
using more current labor rates.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
