Abstract: The NSPS applies to very small municipal waste combustion units and institutional waste incineration units that commenced construction after December 9, 2005 or commenced reconstruction or modification on or after June 16, 2006. 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.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of other solid waste incinerator units.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart EEEE)
Estimated number of respondents: Zero (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and annually.
Total estimated burden: Zero hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $0 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. At present, there are no OSWI units subject to the regulations, and no new units are expected to be constructed or operated over the next three years. It is assumed that potential respondents would use alternative methods of waste disposal that are more economical, e.g. landfills, rather than replacing existing OSWI units. As a result, no respondent or agency burdens or costs have been estimated, and no annual burden is expected.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
