The Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units apply to any air quality program in either a state or a United States protectorate with one or more existing CISWI units. The guidelines can be thought of as model regulations that States use in developing State plans to implement the emission guidelines. If a state does not develop, adopt, and submit an approvable state plan, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must develop a Federal plan to implement the emission guidelines. These regulations apply to existing CISWI units (units that commenced construction on or before the date of proposal).
In general, all Emissions Guidelines 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 with 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD.
There is a decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to several considerations. The growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no change in the number of respondents. The regulations have changed over the past three years; however, the amendments did not result in any changes in burden. The labor calculations for incinerators were corrected to remove one instance in the previous ICR, where labor costs for continuous parameter monitoring were double-counted. The labor calculations for incinerators were also corrected to revise the number of respondents submitting a status report, corrective action summary, and semiannual report to reflect reports submitted for 10 percent of the total number of CISWI units. The overall result is a decrease in burden hours. However, this ICR uses updated labor rates from the most-recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (September 2020) to calculate respondent burden costs, resulting in an increase in labor costs. The costs for annual performance testing were updated from 2008 to 2020 using the CEPCI Index, resulting in an increase in O&M costs. The labor rates for visible emissions testing were updated from 2008 rates to 2020 rates using Bureau of Labor Statistics data on wage increases during that period, resulting in an increase in these testing costs. The monitoring costs were updated from 2008 values to 2020 values using the CEPCI Index and Bureau of Labor Statistics data, resulting in an increase in monitoring costs.
