Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC) were proposed on November 30, 1999, promulgated on December 01, 2000, and most-recently amended on: February 7, 2013; June 23, 2016; and April 16, 2019. The 2013 amendment re-established emission limits and expanded the rule to cover these CISWI subcategories: energy recovery units; waste burning kilns; incinerators; and small, remote incinerators. The 2016 amendment finalized reconsiderations to certain aspects to the 2013 amendment and finalized actions on the following four topics: the definition of continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) data during startup and shutdown periods; the particulate matter (PM) limit for the waste-burning kiln subcategory; the fuel variability factor (FVF) for coal-burning energy recovery units (ERUs); and the definition of kiln. The 2019 amendments further clarified implementation of the 2016 standards, including certain testing and monitoring issues and inconsistencies, and editorial corrections and errors within the rules that required clarification or correction. These regulations apply to Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) units that either commenced construction after June 4, 2010, or commenced reconstruction or modification after August 7, 2013. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC. In general, all NSPS 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because there is a small increase in the number of sources subject to the rule due to continued, albeit low-growth, within the industry. This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities. We have adjusted the burden to reflect the increased number of existing respondents that perform annual performance tests, annual monitoring, refresher training, and report parameter exceedances. In addition, there are a small number of new facilities that are in the initial compliance phase, whose costs include purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance tests and establishing recordkeeping systems. The overall result is an increase in burden hours and costs.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $22,200
