The New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) for Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (40 CFR
Part 60, Subpart Ec) were proposed on February 27, 1995,
promulgated on September 15, 1997, and amended on both October 6,
2009, and February 27, 2014. The original standards applied to
either owners or operators of Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste
Incinerators (HMIWI) for which construction commenced after June
20, 1996, or for which modification commenced after March 16, 1998,
but no later than April 6, 2010. Sources subject to the original
standards are now covered under the revised Emission Guidelines for
HMIWI at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Ce. This information request
covers the reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with
the revised NSPS, which apply to new facilities only. New
facilities include those that commenced construction after December
1, 2008 or commenced modification after April 6, 2010. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
Part 60, Subpart Ec. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS.
There is an increase in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR
currently-approved by OMB. This is due to an increase in the
estimated number of sources subject to the regulations and is not
caused by program changes. We estimate the industry will continue
to grow at the rate of one new source per year. This results in
increases in the respondent labor hours, number of responses, and
capital and O&M costs.
