SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION
Title:
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
Sewage
Treatment
Plants,
Subpart
O
(
OMB
Control
No.
2060
 
0035;
EPA
ICR
No.
1063.08)
expiring
June
30,
2001.
This
is
a
request
for
extension
of
a
currently
approved
collection.
Abstract:
This
ICR
contains
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
that
are
mandatory
for
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60.150,
et.
seq.,
Subpart
O,
New
Source
Performance
Standards
for
sewage
sludge
treatment
plant
incinerators.
The
control
of
emissions
of
particulate
matter
from
sewage
treatment
plant
incinerators
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Particulate
matter
emissions
from
sewage
treatment
plant
incinerators
are
the
result
of
the
physical
and
chemical
characteristics
of
the
sludge
feed
and
fuel
use,
the
excess
air
rate,
the
temperature
profile
within
the
incinerator,
the
pressure
drop
across
the
control
device,
and
operating
procedures.
These
standards
rely
on
the
reduction
of
particulate
matter
emissions
by
wet
scrubbers.
In
order
to
ensure
compliance
with
these
standards,
adequate
recordkeeping
is
necessary.
In
the
absence
of
such
information,
enforcement
personnel
would
be
unable
to
determine
whether
the
standards,
that
are
protective
of
public
health,
are
being
met
on
a
continuous
basis,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
These
standards
require
initial
notification
reports
with
respect
to
construction,
modification,
reconstruction,
startups,
shutdowns,
and
malfunctions.
The
standards
also
require
reports
on
initial
performance
tests
and
semiannual
reports
of
noncompliance.
Under
the
standard,
the
data
collected
by
the
affected
industry
is
retained
at
the
facility
for
a
minimum
of
two
(
2)
years
and
made
available
for
inspection
by
the
Administrator.
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.
