**1. Identification of the**  **Information Collection 1(a)**  **Title of the Information Collection** Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1847.07 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0 390

. **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract**  The Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors ( 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb ) were proposed on September 20, 1994, promulgated on December 19, 1995, and amended on both Au gust 25, 1997, and May 10, 2006

. These regulations apply to existing facilities constructed on or before September 20, 1994 , that own and operate municipal waste combustion (MWC) units with a combustion capacity greater than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste (large MWC units )

. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements discussed below result from the emission guidelines that appl y to large MWCs covered b y EPA

- approved and effective State plans and, where a State plan has not been approved, large MWCs covered by the Federal plan. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb. In general, all Emission Guidelines require initial notification report s, performance tests, and periodic reports b y the owners/operators of the affected facil ities. 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 sy stem is inoperative. These notifications, report s, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to Emission Guidelines

. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain 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.
The “Affected Public” includes MWC units that are owned b y the private sector, MWC units that are owned b y s tate and local government, as well as State Administrators. The

“burden ” to the Affected Public may be found below in Table 1 a : Annual Privately

- Owned Respondent Burden and Cost

– Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors

### Constructed on or B efore September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal) , and in

Table 1b: Annual Publicly Owned Respondent Burden and Cost

– Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal)

. The “burden ” to the “ Designated State Administrator” i s attributed entirely to work performed by either the state, or local, or tribal air pollution authority employees or government contractors and may be found below in Table 1c : Average Annual Designated Administrator Burden and Cost

– Emission Guidelines f or Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal)

. The

“burden ” to the Federal Government is attributed entirely to work performed by either F ederal employees or by government contractors and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal)

. There are 162 large MWC units located at 63 MWC plants (respondents) in 22 States subject to the emission guidelines through either State or the Federal plans. Of the 63 large MWC plants, 55 plants are located in 18 states with State plans ; eight plants are located in 4 states without State plans and are thus subject to the Federal plan. There are a pproximately 31 large MWC plant (49%) , which are owned and operated by the MWC industry

. Approximately 32 large MWC plants (51%) in the United States are owned b y either state, local, tribal or the Federal government. In addition to the 63 large MWC plants, it is estimated that there are 18 State Designated Administrators. We assume that they will all respond. Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there are an average of 2.57 affected facilities at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site). Over the next three ye ars, approximately 81 respondents per ye ar (63 MWC plants and 18 Designated Administrators) will be subject to the se standard , and no additional respondents per year will become subject to the standard. The Emission Guidelines only appl y to sources constructed on or before September 20, 1994. The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) approved the currentl y active I CR without any “ Terms of Clearance .”
**2. Need for and Use of the Collection**  **2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection**  The EPA is charged under section 111(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to:

**. . .** prescribe regulations which shall establish a procedure similar

to that provided by

section 110 under which each State shall submit to the Administrator a plan which (A) establishes standards

### of performance for any existing source for any air pollutant (i ) for which air quality criteria have not been issued or which is not included on a list published under section 108(a)
**. . .** but (ii) to which a standard of performance under this section would apply if such existing source were a new source, and (B) prov ides for the implementation and enforcement of such standards of performance. The EPA is required under section 129 of the Act, to establish guidelines for existing stationary sources that reflect the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for achie ving continuous emission reductions: Section 129(a)(1)(A) states: The Administrator shall establish performance standards and other requirements pursuant to section 111 and this section for each category of solid waste incineration units. Such standards shall include emissions limitations and other requirements applicable to new units and guidelines (under section 111(d) and this section) and other requirements applicable to existing units. Section 129(a)(2) states: Standards applicable to solid waste incineration units promulgated under section 111 and this section shall reflect the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of air pollutants listed under section (a)(4) that the Administrator, taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emission reduction, and any non - air quality health and environmental impacts and energy requirements, determines is achievable for new or existing units in each category

. Section 129(b)(1) states:
Performance standards under this section and section 111 for solid waste incineration units shall include guidelines promulgated pursuant to section 111(d) and this section applicable to existing units. Such guidelines shall include, as provided in this section, each of the elements required by subsection (a) (emissions limitations, notwithstanding any restriction in section 111(d) regarding issuance of such limitations), subsection (c) (monitoring), subsection (d) (operator training), subsection (e) (permits), and subsection (h)(4) (residual risk). Subpart B of 40 CFR Part 60 requires State plans to include monitoring, recordkeeping,

### 4

and reporting provisions consistent with the emission guidelines. In addition, section 114(a)(1) states that: the Administrator may require any

person who owns or operates any emission source, who manufactures emission control equipment or process equipment, who the Administrator believes may have information necessary for the purposes set forth in this subsection, or who is subject to any requirement of this Act (other than a manufacturer subject to the provisions of section 206(c) or 208 with respect to a provision of title II) on a one

- time, periodic or continuous basis to

- (A) establish and mai ntain 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 Administer shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certificatio ns in accordance with section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information, as the Administrator may

reasonably

require;
**. . . .** In the Administrator's judgment, particulate matter, opacity, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, lead, cadmium, mercury , and dioxins and dibenzofurans emissions from MWCs cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonabl y be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the Emission Guidelines were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 60 , Subpart Cb

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data**  The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard s ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard s . Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard s at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to

### 5

de termine 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 requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated and/or leaks are being detected and repaired and the standard 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 an d reporting are required under 40 CFR Part 60 , Subpart Cb

. **3(a) Non** 
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y 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 has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report req uired b y the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist. **3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB** 
An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register ( 80 FR 32116 ) o n June 5, 2015

. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations**  The Agency

has consulted i ndustry

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 Integrated Compliance Information Sy stem (I CI S). IC IS is EPA’s database for the collection, m aintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government

- owned facilities. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts.
Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard s as they were being developed and the

### 6

standard has been previously reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, we contacted: 1) the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), at (800) 467

- 9262; 2) the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA), at (202) 244

- 4700; and 3) Covanta, at (862) 345

- 5000. It is our policy

to 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 Collection** 
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 be less likely

. **3( e)**  **General Guidelines**
These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 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. EPA believes that the five

- ye ar records retention requirement is consistent with the Part 70 permit program and the five

- ye ar statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five ye ars allow s EPA to establish the compliance history of a source , any pattern of non - compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five ye ars. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records

. **3(f) Confidentiality**  Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is 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 by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions**

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) and I CI S.
**5(b) Collection Methodology and Management**  Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source ’ s initial capability to compl y with the emission standard. D ata and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
In formation contained in the reports is reported b y state and local governments in the IC I S Air database, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. IC IS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses IC IS for tracking air pollutio n compliance and enforcement b y local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five ye ars.

**5(c) Sm**  **all Entity Flexibility**
There are no small entities (i.e., small businesses) affected b y this regulation

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

for each information collection activity within this request is shown in below Table 1 a : Annual Privately Owned Respondent Burden and Cost

– Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal) , and Table 1 b : Annual Publicly Owned Respondent Burden and Cost

– Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (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. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandato ry
. 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 requirement s is estimated to be 397 ,000 hours

. By individual category , there are: 1) 192 , 000 hours for privately owned MWCs (Total Labor Hours from Table 1a below); 2) 202 ,000 hours for publicly owned MWCs (Total Labor Hours from Table 1b below); and 3,080 hours for designated State plan administrators (Total L abor Hours from Table 1c below). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency

knowledge and experience with the Emission Guidelines , the previously approved ICR, and any comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs**  **(i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $1 2 9

. 93 ($ 61.87 + 110%) Technical $ 10 3

. 97 ($4 9

. 51 + 110%) Clerical $ 5 1

. 79 ($2 4

. 66 + 110%)

### 12

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2014 , “ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rat es are from column 1, “ Total compensation. ” The rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. Additionally , this I CR assumes a contractor rate of $1 76

. 05

. The contractor rate was derived b y taking the contractor rate in the previous I CR and multiplying by the average increase in managerial, technical, and clerical rates since the previous ICR. The result is a five percent increase in contractor rate since the last ICR. The labo r rates for publicl y- owned sources and State administrators are detailed in Section 6(c).

**(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 incurred when a facility

becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and m aintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs su ch as photocopying and postage. **(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs**

Figures may not add exactly due to rounding. 1 Since the Emission Guidelines only apply to sources that commenced construction on or before September 20, 1994, no additional MWC units will become subject to the standard over the next three years. 2 Approximately 162 sources located at 63 plants are c urrently subject to the Emissions Guidelines and each source requires continuous monitoring. Of the 162 sources, 80 sources are within the private sector and 82 sources are publicly

- owned.

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program i ncludes activities such as the examination of records maint ained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $20,100

regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1b: Annual Publicly Owned Respondent Burden and Cost

– Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combu stors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal)

. The total, annual labor hours for designated State administrator respondents are 3,080 hours. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1c: Average Annual Designated Administrator Burden and Cost

– Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal)

. We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the ty

pical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the ty pical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,734 (rounded) hours per response
. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $ 1,560,000

. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.

**(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 442 labor hours at a cost of $20,100

. See below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or B efore September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal)

. We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the ty

pical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are as sumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the ty pical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden**  There is a small adjustment increase in the respondent labor hours and costs and the total O&M costs as currently

identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The increase in labor hours and cost is due to a change in assumption. In this I CR, we assume all existing sources will take some time each year to re

- familiarize themselves with the regulatory requirements. The increase in total O&M cost is due to rounding of all calculated values to three significant figures.

**Assu mptions:** 
a. Assume 162 large MWC units at 63 plants, 49 percent of which are privately owned. b. This ICR uses the following labor rates: $129.93 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $103.97 per ho ur for Technical labor, and $51.79 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of labor Statistics, June 2014, Table 2 Civilian Workers by occupational and industry group, The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those em ployed by private industry. The contractor rate was derived by taking the contractor rate used in the previous ICR and multiplying by the average increase in managerial, technical, and clerical rates since the previous ICR.
c. This ICR assumes all respondents will have to familiarize with regulatory requirements d. Assume 20 percent of reporting plants must repeat initial tests due to failure at one unit at the plant.
e. RATA audits are performed for one of the four quarterly audits. RAA tests are performed for thr ee of the four quarterly audits. Audits of the diluent monitor (O2 or CO2) are not required because tests on SO2 and CO monitors will incorporate the use of the diluent monitor. f. Assume 20 percent of affected plants must submit two semiannual reports per year due to exceeding one or more pollutant emission limits. g. Based on weekly recordkeeping, we assume 47 weeks of operation (90 percent availability) per year per MWC. h. Based on quarterly calculation of sorbent use for entire plant, regardless of the number of affected facilities at the plant. i. Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures.
