*Abstract:*                     The New Source Performance Standards for Sewage Sludge Incineration Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart LLLL) were proposed on October 14, 2010; and promulgated on March 21, 2011. These regulations apply to new facilities with one or more sewage sludge incineration (SSI) units. New facilities are those that either commenced construction after October 14, 2010, or commenced modification after September 21, 2011. Physical or operational changes made to the SSI unit to comply with the SSI Emission Guidelines at 40 CFR part 60, subpart MMMM do not qualify as a modification under this NSPS. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart LLLL.                

*Form Numbers:*                     None.                

*Respondents/affected entities:*                     Sewage Sludge Incinerators.                

*Respondent's obligation to respond:*                     Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart LLLL).                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     11 (total).                          ( print page 6118)    

*Frequency of response:*                     Semiannual, annual.                

*Total estimated burden:*                     1,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).                

*Total estimated cost:*                     $1,950,000 (per year), which includes $1,850,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     The increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of new or modified sources. There is also an increase in costs due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the most-recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (September 2022) to calculate respondent burden costs. This ICR also adjusts the capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs from 2008 to 2022 values using the CEPCI CE Index.
