    Title: Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial Solid 
Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1927.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0451.
    ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved 
collection that is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2007. Under the OMB 
regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct, or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An 
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. The OMB control number for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register, or by other appropriate means, 
such as on the related collection instrument, or form, if applicable. 
The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial Solid 
Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD), were 
promulgated on December 1, 2000. The emission guidelines require a one-
time waste management plan, initial performance tests for ten 
pollutants, annual performance testing for particulate matter (PM), 
hydrogen chloride (HCl), and opacity, continuous operating parameter 
monitoring, annual operator training, and annual reporting. A deviation 
report is required if any of the emission limitations, or operating 
limits are exceeded. The frequency of these activities was chosen by 
EPA as the period that will provide an adequate margin of assurance 
that affected facilities will not operate for extended periods in 
violation of the standards.
    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required under section 
111 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to collect data. The information 
will be used by Agency enforcement personnel to (1) Identify existing 
sources subject to these standards; (2) ensure that Best Demonstrated 
Technology is being applied properly; and (3) ensure that the emission 
control device is being properly operated and maintained on a 
continuous basis. In addition, records and reports are necessary to 
enable the EPA to identify those site remediation facilities that may 
not be in compliance with these standards. Based on reported 
information, the EPA can decide which facilities should be inspected 
and what records, or processes should be inspected at the facilities. 
The records that site remediation facilities maintain would indicate to 
the EPA whether the personnel are operating and maintaining control 
equipment properly. The types of data required are principally

[[Page 15688]]

emissions data (through parametric monitoring) and would not be 
confidential. If any information is submitted to the EPA for which a 
claim of confidentiality is made, the information would be safeguarded 
according to the Agency policies set forth in 40 CFR, chapter 1, part 
2, subpart B.
    An 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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9. The Federal Register document 
required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this collection 
of information was published on June 21, 2006. No comments were 
received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 211 
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 technology 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Commercial and Industrial Solid 
Waste Incineration Units.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 97.
    Frequency of Response: Annually, initially, and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 31,620 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,904,567, which includes annual O&M 
cost of $20,467, no capital/startup costs, and $2,884,100 in labor 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 40,803 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden from the most recently 
approved ICR is due to no new facilities and thus no initial burden 
under this ICR. In the active ICR, EPA assumed that there would be six 
new facilities a year over the past three years. The Agency's most 
recent estimate indicates that there will be no new facilities over the 
next three years and that the total number of facilities is unchanged 
(97).
