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 a decrease in burden
from the most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to several
considerations. The growth rate for this industry is very low or
non-existent, so there is no change in the number of respondents.
The regulations have changed over the past three years; however,
the amendments did not result in any changes in burden. The labor
calculations for incinerators were corrected to remove one instance
in the previous ICR, where labor costs for continuous parameter
monitoring were double-counted. The labor calculations for
incinerators were also corrected to revise the number of
respondents submitting a status report, corrective action summary,
and semiannual report to reflect reports submitted for 10 percent
of the total number of CISWI units. The overall result is a
decrease in burden hours. However, this ICR uses updated labor
rates from the most-recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report
(September 2020) to calculate respondent burden costs, resulting in
an increase in labor costs. The costs for annual performance
testing were updated from 2008 to 2020 using the CEPCI Index,
resulting in an increase in O&M costs. The labor rates for
visible emissions testing were updated from 2008 rates to 2020
rates using Bureau of Labor Statistics data on wage increases
during that period, resulting in an increase in these testing
costs. The monitoring costs were updated from 2008 values to 2020
values using the CEPCI Index and Bureau of Labor Statistics data,
resulting in an increase in monitoring costs.
