Abstract: This ICR is a description of the information collection requirements for combustion units that use non-hazardous secondary materials (NHSM) that are solid wastes and combines and harmonizes prior regulatory amendments into one ICR. This ICR also includes the burden associated with the 2016 amendments to the Final Rule (81 FR 6688, February 8, 2016), which added three materials to the list of categorical non-waste fuels: (1) construction and demolition (C&D) wood processed from construction and demolition debris according to best management practices; (2) paper recycling residuals (PRRs) generated from the recycling of recovered paper, paperboard and corrugated containers and combusted by paper recycling mills whose boilers are designed to burn solid fuel; and (3) creosote-treated railroad ties that are processed and combusted in units designed to burn both biomass and fuel oil as part of normal operations and not solely as part of start-up or shut-down operations. Finally, this ICR includes the burden associated with the 2018 amendments to the Final Rule (83 FR 5317, February 7, 2018), which added three types of other treated railroad ties (OTRTs) to the list of categorical non-waste fuels: (1) Creosote-borate treated railroad ties, and mixtures of creosote, borate and copper naphthenate treated railroad ties that are processed and combusted in units designed to burn both biomass and fuel oil; (2) Copper naphthenate treated railroad ties that are processed and then combusted in units designed to burn biomass, biomass and fuel oil or biomass and coal; and (3) Copper naphthenate-borate treated railroad ties that are processed and then combusted in units designed to burn biomass, biomass and fuel oil or biomass and coal.
