Title: NSPS for Municipal Waste 

Combustors (40 CFR part 60, subparts 

Ea and Eb) (Renewal) 

Abstract: The New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) for 

subparts Ea and Eb were proposed on 

December 20, 1980, and September 20, 

1994 respectively, and promulgated on 

February 11, 1991 and December 19, 

1995, respectively. Both of these 

standards apply to municipal waste 

combustors with unit capacities greater 

than 225 megagrams per day. Owners or 

operators of the affected facilities must 

make one-time-only notifications and 

reports and must keep records of all 

facilities subject to NSPS requirements. 

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. The pollutants of concern 

for subpart Ea are metals, municipal 

waste combustor (MWC) organics, MWC 

acid gases, and nitrogen oxides. In 

subpart Eb the additional pollutants of 

concern are cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), 

and mercury (Hg). Subparts Ea and Eb 

require owners and operators with unit 

capacity above 225 megagrams per day 

to notify the agency of intent to 

construct and initiate operation of a 

new, modified or reconstructed MWC. 

The notification must contain 

supporting information regarding unit 

design capacity, the calculations used to 

determine capacity, and estimated 

startup dates. 

Owners and operators must submit 

semiannual and annual compliance 

reports. In addition, facilities subject to 

subpart Eb are required to keep records 

of the weekly amount of carbon used for 

activated carbon injection and to 

calculate the estimated hourly carbon 

injection rate for hours of operation as 

a means of determining continuous 

compliance for Hg. Annual reports of 

excess emissions are required under 

subpart Ea, while semiannual reports of 

excess emissions are required under 

subpart Eb. These notifications, reports, 

and records are essential in determining 

compliance and are required, in general, 

of all sources subject to the standard. 

Any owner or operator subject to 

subpart Ea will maintain a file of these 

measurements, and retain the file for at 

least two years. For those facilities 

subject to subpart Eb all records are 

required to be maintained at the source 

for a period of five years. 

Notifications are used to inform the 

Agency or delegated authority when a 

source becomes subject to the standard. 

The reviewing authority may then 

inspect the source to check if the 

5646 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 22 / Thursday, February 3, 2005 / Notices 

pollution control devices are properly 

installed and operated, and the standard 

is being met. Performance test reports 

are needed as these are the Agency’s 

records of a source’s initial capability to 

comply with the emission standards, 

and serve as a record of the operating 

conditions under which compliance 

was achieved. The information 

generated by monitoring, recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements described in 

this ICR is used by the Agency to ensure 

that facilities affected by the standard 

continue to operate the control 

equipment and achieve continuous 

compliance with the regulation. 

All reports are sent to the delegated 

state or local authority. In the event that 

there is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. 

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 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 

and are identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information are 

estimated to average 198 hours per 

response. Burdens 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 or operators of municipal waste 

combustors. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

12. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

quarterly, semiannually, annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

20,421 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs:

$1,635,293, which includes $60,000 

annualized capital/startup costs, 

$99,000 (rounded) annual O&M costs, 

and $1,476,293 annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 8,536 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This is due to an increase in 

the number of sources from eight to 

twelve from the most recently approved 

ICR.
