Abstract: These standards apply to each municipal waste combustor (MWC) unit with a capacity greater than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste which commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after December 20, 1989. MWCs are required to keep records and periodically report their compliance status. Information required by the NSPS is necessary to ensure that emission standards are attained and that MWC's are properly operated and maintained.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of municipal waste combustor units.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea and Eb).
Estimated number of respondents: 13 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and annually.
Total estimated burden: 20,272 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,897,888 (per year), includes $136,636 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 149 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. These changes are due to the following adjustments: (1) The number of sources subject to each Subpart was revised to reflect more recent information obtained through the Agency's research within the MWC sector; (2) the number of sources required to submit initial notification and site analysis was corrected to reflect this activity as a burden only for new sources, rather than for existing sources; (3) several mathematical errors in calculating burden costs were corrected; and (4) all estimates were updated using more recent labor rates.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
