SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Commercial and 
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units (EPA ICR Number 
1926.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0450), to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is

for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, 
including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the 
regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC apply to either 
owners or operators of a combustion device used to combust commercial 
and industrial waste, and that meet either of the following two 
criteria: (1) began construction either on or after December 31, 1999; 
or (2) began either reconstruction or modification either on or after 
June 1, 2001. Commercial and industrial waste is a solid waste 
combusted in an enclosed device using controlled-flame combustion 
without energy recovery, which is a distinct operating unit of any 
commercial or industrial facility, including field-erected, modular, 
and custom-built incineration units operating with starved or excess 
air, or solid waste combusted in an air curtain incinerator without 
energy recovery that is a distinct operating unit of any commercial or 
industrial facility. In general, all NSPS standards require initial 
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/
operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These 
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining 
compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the 
NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of CISWI units 
that are subject to the year 2000 standards.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart CCCC).
    Estimated number of respondents: 13 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually, semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 2,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $512,000 (per year), which includes $176,000 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This decrease in burden is not due to any program 
changes. Instead, the decrease is due to a decrease in the number of 
respondents to reflect facility closures. There is also a decrease in 
Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance costs due to a decrease 
in the number of sources.
