    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Small 
Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR part 60, subpart AAAA) were proposed 
on August 30, 1999, and promulgated on December 6, 2000. These 
regulations apply to both existing facilities and new facilities with 
small municipal waste combustor (MWCs) that combust greater than 35 
tons per day (tpd), but with less than 250 tpd of municipal solid 
waste. New facilities include those that commenced construction, 
modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This 
information is being collected to

assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAAA.
    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 NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Small municipal waste combustors 
(MWCs).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart AAAA).
    Estimated number of respondents: 5 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 17,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,010,000 (per year), which includes 
$207,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall increase in 
respondent burden from the most recently-approved ICR due to an 
increase in the number of respondents. The number of respondents 
reflects a continued growth rate of one new respondent over the next 
three years. There is also an increase in the operation and maintenance 
(O&M) costs due to the increase in the number of respondents.
