Title: Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or before September 20, 1994 (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1847.05, OMB Control No. 2060-0390.
ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2009. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The ICR is a renewal of current data collection and reporting requirements for large municipal waste combustors (MWC)s subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb emission guidelines. The subpart Cb guidelines are maximum achievable control technology (MACT) based standards that were adopted in 1995 and were fully implemented by year 2000. The data collected by the ICR are intended to monitor the compliance status of large MWCs subject to these MACT standards. The data collection is a mandatory requirement (Clean Air Act section 114(a)(1)).
The emission guidelines require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators of large MWCs also are 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. Owners or operators of large MWCs must maintain all files for least five years.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,725 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Large Municipal Waste Combustors.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 81.
Frequency of Response: Annual, semiannual.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 394,954.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $50,588,150, which includes labor costs of $49,032,950 and operation and maintenance costs of $1,555,200.
Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 356,537 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The original ICR included only the burden for large MWCs subject to the Federal 111(d) plan for large MWCs. This ICR renewal includes the additional burden of large MWCs subject to approved State Section 111(d) plans and for State agencies implementing the Section 111(d) plans.
