Abstract: The Emission Guidelines 

and Compliance Times for Small 

Municipal Waste Combustion Units 

Constructed on or Before August 30, 

1999 were originally promulgated in 

December 1995, but were vacated by the 

Federal Court in March 1997. 

Subsequently, the Emission Guidelines 

were re-proposed on August 30, 1999; 

and promulgated on December 6, 2000. 

The Emission Guidelines regulate 

organics (dioxin/furans), metals 

(cadmium, lead, mercury), particulate 

matter, and acid gases (hydrogen 

chloride, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen 

oxides) for small Municipal Waste 

Combustion (MWC) units. Small MWC 

units are MWC units with capacities to 

combust greater than 35 tons per day 

(tpd) and less than 250 tons per day 

(tpd) of municipal solid waste. The 

Emission Guidelines contain 

monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements that are to be 

included in state plans. If a State/Local 

Agency does not develop, adopt, and 

submit an approvable State plan, then 

facilities in that state are subject to the 

Federal Plan (Federal Plan 

Requirements for Small Municipal 

Waste Combustion Units Constructed 

On or Before August 30, 1999 (40 CFR 

part 62, subpart JJJ)), adopted on January 

31, 2003. The Federal Plan implements 

the emission guidelines in jurisdictions 

that have not developed an approved 

State Plan. These regulations do not 

directly apply to small MWC unit 

owners and operators. However, MWC 

unit owners and operators must comply 

with either the State or Federal plans to 

implement the emission guidelines 

contained in this Subpart. This ICR 

identifies the burden to both 

respondents (owners or operators of 

small MWC units) and the Designated 

Administrator (either state/local 

agencies or the Federal government) to 

implement the emission guidelines 

imposed by the State plans. This 

information is being collected to assure 

compliance with 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart BBBB. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners or operators of existing small 

MWC units. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR 60, subpart BBBB). 

Estimated number of respondents: 22 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Semiannually, 

annually. 

Total estimated burden: Respondent 

burden is 86,500 hours (per year). State/ 

local agency burden for administering 

the rule is 770 hours (per year). Burden 

is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: Respondent cost 

is $6,130,000 (per year). This includes 

$422,000 in annualized capital/startup 

and/or operation & maintenance costs. 

State/local agency cost is $39,000 per 

year. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens due to an adjustment 

in the number of respondents subject to 

the requirements of Subpart BBBB, 

which have decreased. This ICR also 

adjusts the burden to reflect those 

requirements of Subpart BBBB that are 

implemented under State plans or a 

Federal Plan, to incorporate the burden 

associated with the Federal Plan. The 

Federal Plan was finalized at 40 CFR 

part 62, subpart JJJ on January 31, 2003 

(68 FR 5158). As of August 20, 2021, 

EPA data and the listing of approved 

State plans in the e-CFR indicates that 

7 State and local agencies enforce the 

State plans or have requested and 

received delegation of enforcement of 

the Federal Plan. The remainder of the 

small MWC units will be covered by the 

Federal Plan, where EPA is the 

implementing agency. The burden on 

State and local agencies is included in 

respondent burden in this ICR, and is 

similar to the Agency burden in the 

previous ICR.

nominations will be made via the BOSC 

website at: https://www.epa.gov/bosc. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by June 30, 2022, per 

instructions below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public needing 

additional information regarding this 

Notice and Request for Nominations 

may contact Mr. Tom Tracy, Office of 

Science Policy, Office of Research and 

Development, Mail Code B343–01, 109 

T.W. Alexander Drive, Research 

Triangle Park, NC 27711; via phone/ 

voice mail at: (919) 541–4334; or via 

email at: tracy.tom@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the BOSC can 

be found at the following website: 

https://www.epa.gov/bosc. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The BOSC is a chartered Federal 

Advisory Committee established by the 

EPA to provide independent scientific 

and technical peer review, advice, 

consultation, and recommendations 

about ORD. As a Federal Advisory 

Committee, the BOSC conducts business 

in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 

U.S.C. app. 2) and related regulations. 

The BOSC is comprised of an 

Executive Committee and two 

supporting subcommittee(s): Social and 

Community Science, and Climate 

Change. Please visit https://

www.epa.gov/aboutepa/about-officeresearch-and-development-ord to learn 

more about ORD’s research programs. 

Members of the BOSC constitute a 

distinguished body of non-EPA 

scientists, engineers, and economists 

who are experts in their respective 

fields. We are seeking SGEs to serve as 

special experts to assist the BOSC in the 

review of the New Chemicals 

Collaborative Research Program in the 

Fall of 2022. 

The BOSC will be evaluating the 

Office of Research and Development 

(ORD)’s draft Strategic Research Action 

Plans Fiscal Years 2023–2026 in Fall 

2022. The Fall 2022 meeting will 

provide a more in-depth evaluation of 

the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) New Chemicals Collaborative 

Research Program (See Output CSS.8.4: 

Innovative science to support new 

chemicals evaluation in the draft StRAP 

for Chemical Safety and Sustainability) 

and associated research plan (https://

www.regulations.gov/document/EPAHQ-OPPT-2022-0218-0004). An 

additional draft document will be 

provided that summarizes technical 

details of the research plan. ORD in 

partnership with the Office of Chemical 

Safety and Pollution Prevention 

(OCSPP) are proposing to develop and 

implement a multi-year collaborative 

research program focused on 

approaches for performing risk 

assessments on new chemical 

substances under TSCA. The results of 

the effort are expected to bring 

innovative science to new chemical 

reviews, modernize the approaches 

used, and increase the transparency of 

the information underpinning the 

human health and ecological risk 

assessment process. Key areas proposed 

in the TSCA New Chemicals 

Collaborative Research Program include: 

• Updating OCSPP’s category and 

read-across approach which uses data 

from structurally similar chemicals to 

determine potential risks from new 

chemicals when data for those 

chemicals are lacking. This research 

effort will increase the efficiency of new 

chemical reviews by identifying 

appropriate analogues for read across 

and promoting the use of the best 

available data to protect human health 

and the environment. The existing 

category approach in use dates to 2010 

and is available here: https://

www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicalsunder-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/ 

chemical-categories-used-review-new. 

• Digitizing and consolidating 

information on chemicals to include 

data and studies that currently only 

exist in hard copy or in disparate TSCA 

databases. The information will be 

combined with publicly available 

sources to expand the amount of 

information available, enhancing 

chemical reviews and enabling efficient 

sharing of chemical information across 

EPA. Safeguards for TSCA confidential 

business information will be maintained 

as appropriate in this process. Data 

curation in public databases will 

proceed and where possible these 

databases will be made interchangeable 

with International Uniform Chemical 

Information Database (IUCLID) formats. 

• Updating and augmenting the 

models used for predicting a chemical’s 

physical-chemical properties and 

environmental fate/transport, hazard, 

exposure (including functional use 

predictions), and toxicokinetics to 

provide a suite of models to be used for 

new chemicals assessments. The goal of 

this effort is to update the models to 

reflect the best available science, 

increase transparency, and establish a 

process for updating these models as 

science evolves. The predictive models 

currently in use by OCSPP for new 

chemical evaluation are available here: 

https://www.epa.gov/tsca-screeningtools. 

• Exploring ways to integrate and 

apply new approach methods (NAMs) 

in new chemicals assessments, thereby 

reducing the use of animal testing. As 

this effort evolves, the goal is to develop 

a suite of accepted, fit-for-purpose 

NAMs that could be used by external 

stakeholders for data submissions under 

TSCA as well as informing and 

expanding new chemical categories. 

• Developing a decision support tool 

that integrates the various information 

streams specifically used for new 

chemical risk assessments. The decision 

support tool will more efficiently 

integrate all the data streams (e.g., 

chemistry, fate, exposures, hazards) into 

a final risk assessment and transparently 

document the decisions and 

assumptions made. Simply put, this will 

facilitate the tracking of the new 

chemicals program decisions and 

provide consistency within and across 

chemistries. 

EPA will consider nominees from 

industry, business, public and private 

research institutes or organizations, 

academia, government (federal, state, 

local, and tribal) and non-government 

organizations, and other relevant 

interest areas. EPA values and welcomes 

diversity. All qualified candidates are 

encouraged to apply regardless of 

gender, race, disability, or ethnicity.

The EPA invites nominations of 

individuals to serve as SGEs with 

expertise or extensive experience in the 

following scientific disciplines and 

topic areas as they relate to human 

health and the environment:
