The New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) for Sewage Sludge Incineration Units (40 CFR Part 60,
Subpart LLLL) were proposed on October 14, 2010, and promulgated on
March 21, 2011. These regulations apply to new and existing
facilities with one or more sewage sludge incineration (SSI) units.
New facilities are those that commenced construction after October
14, 2010 or commenced modification after September 21, 2011.
Physical or operational changes made to the SSI unit to comply with
the SSI Emission Guidelines at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart MMMM do not
qualify as a modification under this NSPS. This information is
being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart
LLLL. 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 burden
from the most recently-approved ICR as currently identified in the
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens due to an increase in the number
of respondents subject to the rule. While the per respondent costs
of annual performance testing and CEMS/CPMS monitoring have
remained the same, but the total O&M costs have increased from
the previous ICR renewal due to the increase in the number of
existing respondents complying with the requirements of the rule.
Several revisions were made to the calculation of respondent
burden. The labor burden for facilities to familiarize with
regulation requirements was revised from 40 hours per existing
source per year to 40 hours for a new source and 4 hours for an
existing source. This change more accurately reflects the burden
that new and existing sources require to familiarize and
re-familiarize with the rule. The Number of Respondents that will
complete the annual refresher course was revised from 1 to 7 to
reflect that this is an annual requirement for operators at
existing sources, per 40 CFR 60.4825.
