Upon renewal of
this collection, OMB requests that EPA submit the following as
supplemental documents: the regulatory text that includes the ICR;
the regulatory text that includes the submission instructions; and
screen shots of the electronic portal where the reporting
requirements will be submitted online to EPA. Please also update
the submission format to the standard 18 question SS-A format upon
renewal.

The New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration
(CISWI) Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC) were proposed on
November 30, 1999, promulgated on December 01, 2000, and
most-recently amended on: February 7, 2013; June 23, 2016; and
April 16, 2019. The 2013 amendment re-established emission limits
and expanded the rule to cover these CISWI subcategories: energy
recovery units; waste burning kilns; incinerators; and small,
remote incinerators. The 2016 amendment finalized reconsiderations
to certain aspects to the 2013 amendment and finalized actions on
the following four topics: the definition of continuous emission
monitoring system (CEMS) data during startup and shutdown periods;
the particulate matter (PM) limit for the waste-burning kiln
subcategory; the fuel variability factor (FVF) for coal-burning
energy recovery units (ERUs); and the definition of kiln. The 2019
amendments further clarified implementation of the 2016 standards,
including certain testing and monitoring issues and
inconsistencies, and editorial corrections and errors within the
rules that required clarification or correction. These regulations
apply to Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI)
units that either commenced construction after June 4, 2010, or
commenced reconstruction or modification after August 7, 2013. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
Part 60, Subpart CCCC. 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 adjustment increase
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 change in the burden and cost estimates
occurred because there is a small increase in the number of sources
subject to the rule due to continued, albeit low-growth, within the
industry. This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs for
existing facilities. We have adjusted the burden to reflect the
increased number of existing respondents that perform annual
performance tests, annual monitoring, refresher training, and
report parameter exceedances. In addition, there are a small number
of new facilities that are in the initial compliance phase, whose
costs include purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting
performance tests and establishing recordkeeping systems. The
overall result is an increase in burden hours and costs.
