Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) apply to the following types of new and existing combustion units that burn hazardous waste: incinerators, cement kilns, lightweight aggregate kilns, solid fuel boilers, liquid fuel boilers, and hydrochloric acid production facilities. In general, all NESHAP standards 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 NESHAP.

Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The adjustment decrease in burden is due to a decrease in the number of respondents based on more accurate estimates of the number of existing and new respondents as provided by the Agency and industry consultations. The decrease in burden is also a result of the removal of burden items related to requirements that are not associated with the standard, testing and installation activities that are not information collection activities, submittal of certain conditional or optional information that is not required by the rule, and one-time activities that have been completed. These changes are further discussed below. These changes also result in an adjustment decrease in the number of responses. The number of responses also reflects updates to clarify those responses related to reporting and that related to recordkeeping activities where reports are not submitted. There is an adjustment increase in the total capital and O&M costs based on the revised estimates of the number of new respondents. As discussed below, because this ICR assumes one new HWC unit per year, we have included capital and O&M costs for CO and O2 CEMS, PM CEMS, COMs, and CMS. These items were not included in the previously approved ICR because it was assumed that existing sources had the equipment required to meet the standard already installed.
