The Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Small Municipal Waste Combustion Units Constructed on or Before August 30, 1999 were originally promulgated in December 1995, but were vacated by the Federal Court during March 1997. Subsequently, the Emission Guidelines were re-proposed on August 30, 1999; and promulgated on December 6, 2000. The Emission Guidelines regulate organics (dioxin/furans), metals (cadmium, lead, mercury), particulate matter, and acid gases (hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides) for small Municipal Waste Combustion (MWC) units. Small MWC units are MWC units with capacities to combust greater than 35 tons per day (tpd) and less than 250 tons per day (tpd) of municipal solid waste. The Emission Guidelines contain monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements that are to be included in state plans. If a State/Local Agency does not develop, adopt, and submit an approvable State plan, then facilities in that state are subject to the Federal Plan (Federal Plan Requirements for Small Municipal Waste Combustion Units Constructed On or Before August 30, 1999 (40 CFR Part 62, Subpart JJJ)), adopted on January 31, 2003. The Federal Plan implements the emission guidelines in jurisdictions that have not developed an approved State Plan. These regulations do not directly apply to small MWC unit owners and operators. However, MWC unit owners and operators must comply with either the State or Federal plans to implement the emission guidelines contained in this Subpart. This Information Collection Request (ICR) identifies the burden to both respondents (owners or operators of small MWC units) and the Designated Administrator (either state/local agencies or the Federal government) to implement the emission guidelines imposed by the State plans. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart BBBB.â¯â¯
In general, all Emission Guidelines 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 these Emission Guidelines.
The decrease is due to more accurate estimates of existing sources. The EPA has determined that several sources have closed since the previously-approved ICR renewal. Because there is a decrease in the number of respondents, there is also a decrease in the capital/O&M costs from the most recently approved ICR. The capital/O&M costs were increased from 2009 $ to 2023 $ using the CEPCI CE Index; however, the result is a net decrease in the capital/O&M costs.â¯
