# ACTION:

Notice.

# SUMMARY:

                        The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Municipal Waste Combustors (EPA ICR Number 1506.14, OMB Control Number 2060-0210), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through March 31, 2022. Public comments were previously requested, via the                         **Federal Register***,*                         on February 8, 2021 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

*Abstract:*                     The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea and Eb) apply to existing and new facilities with a municipal waste combustor unit capacity greater than 225 megagrams per day of municipal solid waste. 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 system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea and Eb.                

*Form Numbers:*                     None.                

*Respondents/affected entities:*                     Owners and operators of municipal waste combustor units.                

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

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     22 (total).                

*Frequency of response:*                     Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and annually.                

*Total estimated burden:*                     32,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).                

*Total estimated cost:*                     $3,320,000 (per year), which includes $197,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to more accurate estimations in both the number of new and existing sources. The number of new sources is revised down from one to zero as there is no indication of any new MWC facilities being constructed over the next three years. The number of existing sources subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ea has been revised from the most-recently approved ICR to reflect                           ( print page 4237)                        the closure of one facility. The decrease in respondents subject to subpart Ea also results in a decrease to the operation and monitoring costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
