    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for 
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units (40 
CFR part 60, subpart CCCC) 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. 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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of new CISWI 
units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart CCCC).
    Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually, semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 2,230 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,480,000 (per year), which includes 
$1,210,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment 
increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an 
increase in the number of new or modified sources, rather than any 
program changes. A more accurate count of sources was gathered from the 
Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database, which more 
accurately represents the current industry landscape. Additionally, 
capital/startup and O&M costs will also increase due to the increase in 
number of sources. Capital/startup and O&M costs have been adjusted 
from 2010$ to 2020$ using the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index 
(CEPCI). There is an increase in costs, which is due to the use of 
updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the most-recent 
Bureau of Labor Statistics report (September 2021) to calculate 
respondent burden costs.
