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.
There is an adjustment increase
in the total estimated burden from the most recently approved ICR.
The increase primarily results from an increase in the number of
sources, as this ICR is updated to reflect the total number of SSI
units subject to Subpart LLLL based on EPA’s 2016 SSI inventory. In
addition, this ICR makes several corrections to the number of
reports and reporting frequency to ensure consistency in
calculating the respondent labor hours, Agency labor hours, and the
total number of responses.
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).

covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
