SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``Emission Guidelines for 
Existing Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart 
FFFF) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 2164.05, OMB Control No. 2060-0562), to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

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.

2015.

    Abstract: Respondents are existing facilities and new OSWI units, 
which include two sub-categories: 1) very small municipal waste 
combustion (VSMWC) units that combust less than 35 tons per day of 
waste; and 2) institutional waste incineration (IWI) units. These 
standards apply to any air quality program in a state or United States 
protectorate with one or more existing other solid waste incineration 
(OSWI) units or air curtain incinerators that commenced construction on 
or before December 9, 2004. This subpart does not directly affect 
incineration unit owners and operators; however, they must comply with 
the state's plan that was developed by the air quality program 
administrator to implement the emission guidelines.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: OSWI units, which include two 
subcategories: VSMWC units that combust less than 35 tons per day of 
waste and IWI units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart FFFF).
    Estimated number of respondents: 99 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 70,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $7,560,000 (per year), including $495,000 in 
either annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
total estimated labor burden as currently identified in the OMB 
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This not due to any program changes. The 
increase occurred because we assume existing respondents will take some 
time to re-familiarize themselves with the rule each year. In addition, 
the cost estimate has been updated using more current labor rates.
