**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) (Renewal)** 
**1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection**  NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) (Renewal) , EPA I CR Number 1900 .05 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0423 **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) were proposed on August 30, 1999 , and promulgated on December 6, 2000 . These regulations appl y to new facilities with small municipal waste combustors (MWCs) that combust greater than 35 tons per day (tpd) but less than 250 tpd of municipal solid waste : small MWC units commencing construction after August 30, 1999, and small MWC units that commenced reconstruction or modification after June 6, 2001

. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60 , subpart AAAA

. 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 s ys tem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS

. 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. A ll 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. Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of 1.6 affected facilities at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site). Approximately

five small MWC units (i.e., 5 sources) at three plants (i.e., 3 respondents) are subject to the standard s . One of the three plants is owned by state and local government, and two are owned b y the private industry . It is estimated that one additional private industry respondent will become subject to the standard over the next three years
. OMB approved the currently

- active ICR without any “Terms of Clearance.”2

The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) (Renewal) . The burden to the “Federal Government” is attributed entirely to work performed b y either F ederal employees or government contractors , and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) (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 system 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 this charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology (BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every

four ye ars. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

owner/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 data 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, organics, metals, and acid gases emissions from small MWCs cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonabl y be anticipated to endanger public health or w elfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAAA

.3

**2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where 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 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 test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance 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 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, 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 and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAAA

. **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 required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist. **3(b) Pub lic 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 (77 FR 47631) on August 9, 2012. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations**
The Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data4

sources and projections of industry growth over the next three years have been considered. The primary

source of information as reported by industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTIS) which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OT IS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agen cy ’s internal industry experts. Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed. In developing this I CR, we contacted : 1) Xcel Energy , at (800) 328

- 8226 ; and 2) the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), at (240) 494

- 2247

. 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 first Federal Register notice. **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 by these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations would be less likel y. **3(e) General Guidelines**
These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by 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 the Part 70 permit program and the five

- ye ar statute of lim itations on which the permit program is based. Th e retention of records for five ye ars allows 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 20,5

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 t he Information Requested**  **4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes** The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are owners and operators of small MWC unit s . The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SI C ) code s for the respondents affected by the standards and the corresponding North American Industry Classification System (NAI CS ) codes are listed in the following table.
**Standard ( 40 CFR**  **P art**  **60, S**  **ubpart AAAA** **) SIC Codes**  **NAICS Codes** Air & Water Resource and Solid Waste Management 9511 92411 Sold Waste Combustors & Incinerators 4953 562213 **4(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items** 
In this ICR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required b y the NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR P art 60, S ubpart AAAA)

. A source must make the following reports:

**Notification s**  Construction/reconstruction 60.7(a)(1), 60.1375 Reports due before and after notice of construction 60.1375 60.1385 Actual startup 60.7(a)(3), Initial stack tests for all regulated pollutants and parameters 60.8(a) and (d), 60.1395, 60.1400 60.1430 Notice of construction 60.1380 Semi

- annual reports 60.1415

- 60.1420, 60.1430 Annual compliance reports for all pollutants and parameters 60.1405, 60.1410, 60.14306
**Notification s**  Reports for air curtain incinerators 60.1455 Demonstration of continuous monitoring system and test data 60.7(a)(5), 60.1395 Physical or operational change 60.7(a)(4) Semiannual excess emission reports (SO 2 , CO, load, temperature, PM, dioxin/furan, opacity , HCl, Cd, Pb, Hg, fugitives) 60.1425 Report of continuous emission monitors (CEMs) demonstration and test data 60.1410 Prepare a material separation plan and siting anal ysis 60.1050 , 60.1110 Schedule public meeting on siting anal ys is 60.1140 A source must keep the following records:
**Recordkeeping** Records of occurrence and duration of any startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, or any malfunction of CEMS 60.7(b), 60.1340, 60.1365 Records on material separation plan and siting analysis 60.1345(a) 60.1350 Records of operator training and certification 60.1340(b), 60.1355 Records of initial stack tests and annual stack tests 60.1340(c), 60.1360 Records for CEMS rates and p arameters and computations of average emissions and parameters 60.1340(d), 60.1365, 60.1370 Records of MWC units that use activated carbon. Records of quarterl y amount of sorbent for Hg control 60.1340(e), 60.1370 Records of results of daily CEMS drift tests and Appendix F accuracy assessments 60.1365 Records are required to be retained for 5 ye ars. The full 5 ye ars of records must be retained at the facility 60.1345
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 recordke eping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting7

systems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respon dents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for opacity , or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for opacity , SO 2 , NO X , and O 2 . Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 1 and 23 for organics; Reference Methods 1 and 29 for Cd, Pb, Hg; Reference Method 9 for opacity ; Reference Methods 1 and 5 for particulate matter; Reference Methods 1and 26 or 26A for acid gases; and Reference Method 22 for fugitive ash ; 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 systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of processing and maintaining info rmation. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide 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 type 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, analysis,8

storage, and distribution of the required information.
**Agency Activities** Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and 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). **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. Data 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 entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. OT IS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retri eval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses the OTI S for tracking air pollution 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) Small Entity Flexibility** A majority

of the respondents are small entities (i.e., small businesses). The EPA does not expect the standards to adversel y affect these small entities. The standards only appl y to units with capacities between 35 tpd and 250 tpd. Furthermore, the standards contain provisions for reduced te sting. Owners of some small MWC units can skip annual tests for two

- ye ar periods for certain pollutants if they have demonstrated compliance for three annual tests in a row. In addition to this reduced testing option, less frequent dioxin/furan testing i s possible if all MWC units at a plant achieve emission levels less than the emission limit for two consecutive ye ars. This provision allows plants to test only one unit per year rather than all units, as normally required.9

**5(d) Collection Schedule** Th e specific frequency

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

– NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) (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 h eadings 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 c onduct 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 12, 351 hours ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NSPS program, the previously

approved IC R, and any

comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $ 121.44 ($ 57.83 + 110%) Technical $ 100.23 ($ 47.73 + 110%) Clerical $ 50.51 ($ 24.05 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2012 , “ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from column 1, “ Total comp ensation. ” The 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 costs10

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 monitors and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

TO TAL $66,000 $102,336

a We estimate that one additional facility will become subject to this subpart over the next three years. Therefore, we estimate the number of new facilities to be 0.33 per year. b The estimated number of facilities with O&M costs includes the f ive existing facilities (at 3 plants) and the one additional facility (0.33 per year) expected to startup over the next three years. The total capital/startup costs for this I CR are $ 66,000 . This is the total o f column D in the above table. The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this I CR are $ 102,336

. This is the total of column G. The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the IC R is estimated to be $ 168,336

. **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. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintaine d 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 $ 2 5 , 882

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 6 2.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 8. 92 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 28. 88 + 60% )11 Clerical $2 5.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 63 + 60% ) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) , 20 1 2 General Schedule , which excludes locality , rates of pay

. The rates have been increased b y 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 Cost

– NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) (Renewal)

. **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this I CR, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 3 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that an additional 0.33 respondents per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below , is 3.33 per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR.
**Number of Respondents**

C olumn D is subtracted to avoid double

- counting respondents

. As shown above, the average Number of Respondents over the three year period of this I CR is 3.33

. The total number of annual responses per ye ar is calculated using the following table:12

a New respondents include sources with constructed, reconstructed and mo dified affected facilities. b There is an average of 1.60 affected facility (i.e. sources or units) per respondent (i.e. plant). (5.33 facilities) / (3.33 plants) = (1.60 facilities/plant). c This ICR assumes a total of two excess emissions report per year from all affected facilities. The number of Total Annual Responses is 1 0

. The total annual labor costs are $1, 195 , 891

. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) (Renewal)

. **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondent s and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 12, 351 hours at a cost of $1,195,891

. Details regarding these estimates may

be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,2 35 hours per response

. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $168,336

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

**Total (rounded) 10** 13 **(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 574 labor hours at a cost of $2 5 , 882 . See below Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is an increase in burden hours for the respondents from the most recently approved ICR due to an increase of one new source subject to the regulation (i.e. respondent universe). The growth in respondent universe also results in an increase in the respondent labor costs and O&M costs. Additionally , there is an increase in burden costs for the Agency from the most recentl y approved ICR due to an adjustment in labor rates. This I CR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate all burden costs. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,2 35 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 technolo gy 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; 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. An agency

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

a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 3.33. There will be one addi tional new private source that will become subject to the rule over the three

- year period of this ICR. b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $121.44 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $100.23 per ho ur for Technical labor, and $50.51 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bure au of Labor Statistics, March 2012 “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry Group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed b y private industry.
c There are an average of 1.86 affected facilities (i.e., sources or units) per respondent [5.33 facilities at 3.33 plants = 1. 60 (Rounded)]. d Relative accuracy test audits (RATA) occur once per year for each affected facility (1 x 1.60 = 1.60).
e Relative accuracy audits (RAA) occur three times per year for each affected facility (3 x 1.60 = 4.80). f Daily calibration and operation data occurs daily (365 x 1.60 = 584.22). g RAT A audits are performed for one of the four quarterly audits. RAA tests are performed for three of the four quarterly audits. Audits of the diluent monitor (O 2 or CO 2 ) are not required because tests on SO 2 and CO monitors will incorporate the use of the diluent monitor. h Assumes 47 weeks of operation (90 percent availability) per year per facility. i Assumes a total of 2 semiannual excess emission reports (1 report for a privately

- owned source and 1 report for a state/local government

- owned source).19

a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to the rule will be 3.33. There will be one additional new private source that will become subject to the rule over the three

- year period of this ICR. b This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: Managerial rate of $62.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $38.92 x 1.6), Technical rate of $46.21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $28.88 x 1.6), and Clerical rate of $25.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $15.63 x 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), “2011 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay.
c Assumes a total of 2 excess emissions reports from all affected facilities
