The Emission Guidelines for Commercial
and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units apply to any
air quality program in either a state or a United States
protectorate with one or more existing CISWI units. The guidelines
can be thought of as model regulations that States use in
developing State plans to implement the emission guidelines. If a
state does not develop, adopt, and submit an approvable state plan,
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must develop a Federal
plan to implement the emission guidelines. These regulations apply
to existing CISWI units (units that commenced construction on or
before the date of proposal). In general, all Emissions Guidelines
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 with 40 CFR
part 60, subpart DDDD.
There is an adjustment increase
in the estimated burden cost and number of responses. The
adjustment increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR
is due to an increase in the number of sources anticipated to
remain subject to the provisions of Subpart DDDD since the last ICR
renewal period, based on an inventory maintained by OAQPS.
Specifically, the prior ICR assumed that a number of units in the
incinerator subcategory would shut down based on amendments to the
rule. However, a recent inventory of sources indicates that these
incinerators remain in operation, and also identifies additional
facilities with units in the small remote incinerators subcategory
not previously included in the inventory. The adjustment increase
in burden is due to more accurate estimates of existing sources. In
addition, the burden hours were increased as a result of accounting
for burden for each respondent to refamiliarize themselves with
regulatory requirements each year.
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
