**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY** 
**NSPS for**  **Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal)** 
**1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection**  NSPS for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal) , EPA I CR Number 2163. 04 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0563 **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Unit s (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) were proposed on December 9, 2004 , and promulgated on December 16, 2005. These regulations apply to very small municipal waste combustion units and institutional waste incineration units. An ew incineration unit subject t o this subpart should meet either of the two criteria: 1) commenced construction after December 9, 2004 ; or 2) commenced reconstruction or modification on or after June 16, 2006. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60 , subpart EEEE. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports b y the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any s tartup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring s ys tem is inoperative. Other requirements are siting analy sis, waste management plan, and records of operator training and qualification. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. Annual and semiannual reports are also required. Owners or operators of OSWIfacilities are required to maintai n a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority

. In the event that there is no such delegated authority , the reports are sent directl y to the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Currently there are no OSWIunits that subject to the regulations, and it is estimated that no additional respondents per year will b ecome subject to the regulation over the next three years. The economical cost of complying with the proposed NSPS makes it more likely that sources will select an alternative method of waste disposal. Based on the information gathered including the results of our consultations, we have concluded that , to date, no new OSWIunits are being constructed, even in the absence of regulations, because other waste disposal alternatives, such as landfills, are more economical. Therefore, the number of respondents remains at zero. It was brought to our attention by the2

Office of Air Quality

Planning and Standards that they are anticipating filing a joint motion with the Sierra Club for vacature of the OSWI standards, but was unable to give a firm date as to the fi ling. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currentl y active Information Collection Request (I CR) without any “Terms of Clearance.” All of the other solid waste incineration (OSWI) units in the United States are owned and operated b y the solid waste incineration industry (the “Affected Public”) , which is privately

owned , for

- profit businesses. None of the facilities in the United States are owned by state, local, tribal or the Federal government

. The burden to the “Affected Public” is listed below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal)

. The Federal government burden associated with the review of reports submitted b y the respondent is shown b elow in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE ) (Renewal).

**2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection**  The EPA is charged under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect:

**. . .** application of the best technological sy stem of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non - air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequatel y demonstrated. Section 111(a)(l). The Agency

refers to thi s charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology (BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every four years. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

o wner/operator subject to any

requirement of this Act to: (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data3 when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, emissions from other solid waste incineration units cause or contribute to air pollution that may r easonabl y b e anticipated to endanger either public health or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS was promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 60, subpart EEEE. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. Ina ddition, the collected information is used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine a n affected facility’s i nitial capability to comply

with the emission standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance tests, a record of the operating parameters under which compl iance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirement s of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated, that leaks are being detected and repaired, and that the standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
**3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations**  **, and Other Collection Criteria** The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart EEEE. **3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency
. If a state or local agency h as adopted their own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or loc al agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required b y the Federal standards. Therefore, no duplication exists.4

**3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB** An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal o f this IC R was published in the Federal Register ( 76 FR 26900 ) on May 9 , 20 11 . No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source of information as reported by industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard is the OTI S, which is operated and maintained by EPA’s Office of Compliance. OTI S is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. We estimate that there are no existing respondents subject to the reporting requirements of this standard , and that no n ew source s will become subject to the standard over the three

- ye ar period covered by this ICR. Consultations with industry representatives were conducted to determine if there is any way for EPA to reduce the recordkeeping and reporting burden or improve the language in the standards to facilitate industry compliance. Industry

representatives were also provided an opportunity

t o comment on the ICR burden, including the size, growth, and other characteristics of the regulated industry

. For this renewal, w e contacted : 1) the National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA) , at (202) 364

- 3773 ; and 2) the Solid Waste Associ ation of North America (SWANA) , at (240) 494

- 2253

. The EPA did not receive any comments from the consultations. It is our polic y t o respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the f irst Federal Register n otice. In this case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collec tion**  Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required b y these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would b e less likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines**
These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations established by

OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. E PA believes that the five

- ye ar records retention requirement is consistent with the part5

70 permit program and the five

- ye ar statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of non

- compliance, and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. The EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond the five years. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records. **3(f) Confidentiality**
Any i nformation submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality i s made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality

of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended b y 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions** The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes**  The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are OSWI units. The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SI C) codes for the respondents affected by the standards, which correspond to the North American Industry C lassification Sy stem (NAICS) code, are listed below for OSWI units

.

**4(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items**  In this ICR, all the data recorded or reported is required by NSPS for Other Solid Waste In cineration Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE). A source must make the following reports:
**Notifications** Notification to commence construction 60.2952 (a)

- (e) Notification of initial startup 60.2953 Initial performance test report 60.2954 Annual test report 60.2955, 60.2956 Notification of operating limit deviation report 60.2957, 60.2958 Notification of deviation 60.2959(a)(1) Notification of status report 60.2959(a)(2) Notification of resumed operation 60.2959(b) **Reports** Annual compliance report 60.2961, 60.2955 Semiannual report of deviation 60.2962, 60.2957 A source must keep the following records: **Recordkeeping** Maintain records of all test reports 60.2973(b) Records are required to be retained for five years 60.2973(f) Maintain waste management plan records 60.2901 Electronic Reporting Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. Also, re gulatory

agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting sy stems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are not widel y used. At this time, there is no respondent that is subject to this regulation ; therefore, electronic reporting would not be applicable to this I CR.7 **(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) for carbon monoxide and oxygen. Perform initial performance test, Reference Methods, 1, 3A, 3B, 26A tests, and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and sy stems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of processing and maintaini ng information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Adjust the existing way s to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently , sources are using monitoring equipment that provides parameter data in an automated way (e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem). Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this ty pe of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information**  **Management 5(a) Agency Activities** 
EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analy sis, storage, and distribution of the required information. **Agency Activities** Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information Sy stem ( OTI S )

.8

**5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y i nstalled and operational. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard, and note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs.
In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and re trieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. E PA uses OTIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by l ocal and state regulatory

a gencies, EPA regional offices, and EPA headquarters. EPA d elegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for five ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility**
There are no small entities affected b y this regulation

. **5(d) Collection Schedule** The specific frequency

f or each information collection activity w ithin this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) ( Renewal)

. **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The 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. **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be zero (Total L abor Hours from Table 1 below). This is based on Agency

studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NSPS program, the previously approved ICR, and any9

comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $ 121 .4 2 ($ 57.82 + 110%) Technical $ 99.14 ($ 47.21 + 110%) Clerical $ 49.81 ($ 23.72 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics September, 2011 “Table 2 : Civilian workers , by occupational and industry group.” Th e rates are fro m column 1, “Total C ompensation.” Th e rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs** The ty pe of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs, which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR, and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one

- time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor and other costs, such as photocopying and postage.

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs , consisting of photocopyingand postage , are zero. This is the total of column G.
The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry10

over the next three ye ars of the I CR is es timated to be zero. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. The EPA compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as: the examination of rec ords maintained by the respondents; the periodic inspection of sources of emissions; and both the publication and distribution of collected information. The term Agency in the ICR refers to the designated Administrator of each state plan or to the U

. S

. E PA Administrator in the event that a state plan is not approved. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be zero. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 62.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 38.92 + 60%) Technical $ 46.21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 28.88 + 60%) Clerical $ 25.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $ 15.63 + 60%)
These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “ 2011 General Schedule ” which excludes locality

rates of pay . The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cos t

– NSPS for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal)

. **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this I CR, no respondent will be subject to this standard in the next three years. It is estimated that no additional sources per year will become subject to the standard. The average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is zero per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table which addresses the three ye ars covered b y this I CR.11 **Number of Respondents**

. **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below.12 **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours and costs are both zero
. D etails regardin g these estimates may be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Other Solid Waste In cineration Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal )

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this colle ction of information is estimated to average zero hours per response. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are both zero. **(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over the next three years are estimated to be zero labor hour s at a cost of $0. See below Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There are no changes in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. 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 ye ars. It is assumed that potential respondents would use alternative methods of waste disposal that are more economical, e.g. landfills, rather than replacing existing OSWIunits. A s a result, no respondent or agency burdens or costs have been est imated, and no annual burden is expected. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average zero hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 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 s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing way s to comply with any previously

applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be a

ble to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. An agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA ’ s regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
