EPA is finalizing emission guidelines for existing sources in the commercial and industrial solid waste incineration source category. These proposed emission standards for existing sources are based upon EPA's proposed determination as to what constitutes the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for the source category. The emission guidelines includes emission standards and monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements for existing sources of lead, mercury, cadmium, particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, dioxins/furans, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and opacity. The burden estimate for this ICR is based upon the 76 existing facilities that we anticipate will conduct the required testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting activities. We do not anticipate any new or reconstructed facilities in the 3-year period covered by this ICR.
The new burden summarized in this ICR results from information collection activities imposed by the Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Unit Emission Guidelines Subpart DDDD. However, as noted earlier in this supporting statement, this burden estimate accompanies an emission guideline that addresses a remand of the 2000 CISWI rule. Rule changes since the 2000 CISWI rule have re-established emission limits for units subject to the 2000 rule, as well as removing most of the exemptions present in the previous rule. A separate rulemaking establishes a solid waste definition that also will affect the population of combustion units subject to CISWI, primarily including waste burning boilers, process heaters, and cement kilns. Many of these units are subject to other NESHAP or NSPS already, but will be subject to CISWI upon promulgation of the solid waste definition.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
