These standards apply to each municipal waste combustor (MWC) unit with a capacity greater than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste which commended construction, modification or reconstruction after December 20, 1989. MWCs are required to keep records and periodically report their compliance status. Information required by the NSPS is necessary to ensure that emission standards are attained and that MWC's are properly operated and maintained.
There is a decrease of 148 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. These changes are due to the following adjustments: 1) the number of sources subject to each Subpart was revised to reflect more recent information obtained through the Agency's research within the MWC sector; 2) the number of sources required to submit initial notification and site analysis was corrected to reflect this activity as a burden only for new sources, rather than for existing sources; 3) several mathematical errors in calculating burden costs were corrected; and 4) all estimates were updated using more recent labor rates.
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);

(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.
