SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NSPS Subpart E: New Source

Performance Standards for Incinerators,

OMB Control No. 2060–0040; EPA ICR

No. 1058.07, expiring April 30, 2001.

This is a request for extension of a

currently approved collection.

Abstract: The New Source

Performance Standards (NSPS) for

Incinerators were promulgated on

December 23, 1971. These standards

apply to incinerators that charge more

than 45 megagrams per day (50 tons per

day) of solid waste for the purpose of

reducing the volume of the waste after

promulgation of NSPS subpart E in

1971. Solid waste is defined as refuse

that is more than 50 percent municipal

type waste. This information is being

collected to assure compliance with 40

CFR part 60, subpart E.

Owners or operators of the affected

facilities described must make one-timeonly notifications including: (1)

Notification of any physical or

operational change to an existing facility

which may increase the regulated

pollutant emission rate; (2) notification

of the initial performance test, including

information necessary to determine the

conditions of the performance test; and

(3) performance test measurements and

results. Owners or operators 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. Monitoring

requirements specific to NSPS Subpart

E provide information on daily charging

rates and hours of operation. Any owner

or operator subject to the provisions of

this part shall maintain a file of these

measurements, and retain the file for at

least two years following the date of

such measurements, maintenance

reports, and records

The control of emissions of

particulate matter from municipal

incinerators requires not only the

installation of properly designed

equipment, but also the operation and

maintenance of that equipment. Certain

records and reports are necessary to

enable the Administrator to: (1) Identify

existing, new, and reconstructed sources

subject to the standards; (2) determine a

source’s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard; and (3)

ensure that the standards are being

achieved. These records and reports are

required under subpart E and the

General Provisions of 40 CFR part 60.

Owners or operators of affected facilities

must provide certain notifications and

reports on startup and initial

performance. Owners or operators of

affected facilities also must record

certain operation and maintenance and

retain files of this information for at

least two years following the date of

such measurements, maintenance

reports, and records.

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a collection of information

unless a currently valid OMB control

number is displayed. The OMB control

numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

The Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on August

17, 2000 (65 FR 50196); no comments

were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 89 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:

Owners/Operators of Municipal

Incinerators.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

96.

Frequency of Response: Daily,

Monthly, and Semi-annually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

8,544 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Capital,

O&M Cost Burden: $240,000.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the addresses listed above.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1058.07 and

OMB Control No. 2060–0040 in any

correspondence.
