Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Sewage Sludge Incinerators (SSI) for Sewage Sludge Incinerators (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart MMMM) apply to the administrators of air quality programs in a state or U.S. protectorate with one or more SSI units that commenced construction either on or before the date of proposal. States may choose to incorporate the model rule text directly in their state plan. If a State does not develop, adopt, and submit an approvable State plan, the EPA must develop a Federal plan to implement the emission guidelines. These regulations do not directly apply to SSI unit owners and operators. However, SSI unit owners and operators must comply with the state plan to implement the emission guidelines contained in this Subpart. These standards only affect existing units constructed on or before October 14, 2010; therefore, no new units will become subject to these same standards. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart MMMM. In general, all emission guidelines require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to emission guidelines.

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment increase in the labor hours and costs as compared to the previously approved ICR. The increase is not due to any program changes. The increase in labor burden and costs occurred for two reasons: 1) this ICR assumes all respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year; and 2) this ICR fixes an error in the previous ICR which did not include recordkeeping burden for operating parameters. However, there is an adjustment decrease in the total capital and O&M costs and number of responses as compared to the previous ICR. The decrease occurred for two reasons: 1) the total number of SSI units has decreased since the previous ICR; and 2) this ICR fixes an error in the previous ICR to correctly reflect the assumption that all facilities will meet the requirements to perform testing on a reduced schedule (every three years) rather than conduct annual testing.
