Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
the
regulations
published
at
40
CFR
Subpart
Ea
and
Subpart
Eb
were
proposed
on
December
20,
1980
and
September
20,
1994
(
respectively)
and
promulgated
on
February
11,
1991
and
December
19,
1995
(
respectively).
Municipal
waste
combustor
(
MWC)
facilities
which
commenced
construction
after
December
20,
1989
and
on
or
before
September
20,
1994,
or
commenced
modification
or
reconstruction
after
December
20,
1989
and
on
or
before
June
19,
1996
are
subject
to
the
regulations
in
40
CFR
Subpart
Ea.
MWC
facilities
which
commenced
construction
after
September
20,
1994,
or
commenced
modification
or
reconstruction
after
June
19,
1996
are
subject
to
the
regulations
in
40
CFR
Subpart
Eb.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
Ea
and
Eb.

In
general,
all
NSPS
standards
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports.
Owners
or
operators
are
also
required
to
maintain
records
of
the
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
start­
up,
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
sources
subject
to
NSPS.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
NSPS
Subpart
Ea
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
two
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
NSPS
Subpart
Eb
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
five
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
All
reports
are
sent
to
the
delegated
State,
Tribal,
or
Local
authority.
In
the
event
that
there
is
no
such
delegated
authority,
the
reports
are
sent
directly
to
the
EPA
Regional
Office.

Approximately
seven
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
NSPS
Subpart
Ea,
and
it
is
estimated
that
an
additional
no
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years,
since
its
latest
applicability
date
is
June
19,
1996.
It
is
further
assumed
that
there
is
an
average
of
two
affected
NSPS
Subpart
Ea
facilities
per
plant
per
respondent.
No
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
NSPS
Subpart
Eb
and
it
is
estimated
that
an
one
additional
source
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.
It
is
further
assumed
that
there
2
is
an
average
of
two
affected
NSPS
Subpart
Eb
facilities
per
plant
per
respondent.
The
estimates
are
based
on
a
comprehensive
survey
of
information
held
and
obtained
by
the
EPA
Regional
Offices
in
2000
and
2001.
Information
was
also
obtained
from
the
Integrated
Waste
Service
Association.

OMB
approved
the
currently
active
ICR
without
any
"
Terms
of
Clearance."

2.
Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
EPA
is
charged
under
Section
111
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
CAA),
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect:

...
application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emissions
reduction
which
(
taking
into
consideration
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emissions
reduction,
or
any
non­
air
quality
health
and
environmental
impact
and
energy
requirements)
the
Administrator
determines
has
been
adequately
demonstrated.
Section
111(
a)(
l).

The
Agency
refers
to
this
charge
as
selecting
the
best
demonstrated
technology.
Section
111
also
requires
that
the
Administrator
review
and,
if
appropriate,
revise
such
standards
every
four
years.

EPA
is
also
charged
under
Section
129
of
CAA,
as
amended,
for
NSPS
Subpart
Eb
to
establish
standards
of
performance
that
reflect
the
maximum
achievable
control
technology
for
achieving
continuous
emission
reductions
that
reflect:

the
maximum
degree
of
reduction
emissions
of
air
pollutants
listed...
that
the
Administrator,
taking
into
consideration
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emission
reduction,
and
any
non­
air
requirements,
determines
is
achievable
for
new
or
existing
units
in
each
category.
Section
129(
a)(
2)

In
addition,
Section
114(
a)
states
that
the
Administrator
may
require
any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
any
requirement
of
this
Act
to:

(
A)
Establish
and
maintain
such
records;
(
B)
make
such
reports;
(
C)
install,
use,
and
maintain
such
monitoring
equipment,
and
use
such
audit
procedures,
or
methods;
(
D)
sample
such
emissions
(
in
accordance
with
such
procedures
or
methods,
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
during
such
periods,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe);
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical;
(
F)
submit
3
compliance
certifications
in
accordance
with
Section
114(
a)(
3);
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
the
Administrator
may
reasonably
require.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment
organic,
metal,
acid
gas,
and
nitrogen
oxide
emissions
from
MWCs
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
In
addition,
the
Administrator
has
judged
cadmium,
lead,
and
mercury
emissions
from
certain
MWCs
to
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
Ea
and
Eb.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
organic,
metal,
acid
gas,
and
nitrogen
oxide
emissions
from
MWCs
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
organic,
metal,
acid
gas,
and
nitrogen
oxide
emissions
from
MWCs
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
capture
and
reduction
of
organics,
metal,
acid
gas,
and
nitrogen
oxide
emissions
using
control
technology,
proper
operation
and
maintenance,
and
trained
personnel.
In
addition,
proper
equipment
design,
operation,
and
maintenance
will
capture
and
reduce
cadmium,
lead,
and
mercury
emissions
from
MWCs
regulated
by
Subpart
Eb.

The
notifications
required
in
the
applicable
regulations
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
requirements
of
the
regulations.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated
and
the
regulations
are
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
record
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standards,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
affected
by
the
NSPS
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
and
achieve
compliance
with
the
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
as
required
by
the
CAA.
The
information
collected
from
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
60
Subpart
Ea
and
Eb.

3(
a)
Nonduplication
4
If
the
subject
standards
have
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
appropriate
EPA
Regional
Office.
Otherwise,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
State,
Tribal
or
local
agency.
If
a
State,
Tribal,
or
local
agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
standards
to
implement
the
Federal
standards,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
State,
Tribal,
or
local
agency
can
be
sent
to
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
Federal
standards.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
October
29,
2001,(
66FR54514).
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
EPA
contacted
the
Integrated
Waste
Service
Association
(
IWSA)
to
discuss
the
ICR.
The
telephone
communication
with
IWSA
helped
EPA
determine
the
limited
industry
growth
rate,
the
reduced
number
of
facilities,
and
the
limited
number
of
new
affected
facilities
expected
over
the
next
three
years.
IWSA
represents
owners/
operators
of
municipal
waste
combustors
and
waste­
to­
energy
facilities.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
standards.
Requirements
for
information
gathering
and
recordkeeping
are
useful
techniques
to
ensure
that
good
operation
and
maintenance
practices
are
applied
and
emission
limitations
are
met.
If
the
information
required
by
these
standards
was
collected
less
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
None
of
these
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
violate
any
of
the
regulations
established
by
OMB
at
5
CFR
1320.5.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
The
required
information
consists
of
emissions
data
and
other
information
that
have
been
determined
not
to
be
private.
However,
any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according
to
the
Agency
policies

INFORMATION
REQUESTED
These
standards
require
affected
facilities
to
maintain
certain
records
for
at
least
two
years.
Facilities
affected
by
Subpart
Eb
must
maintain
records,
including
reports
and
notifications,
at
least
five
years.
This
is
consistent
with
the
General
Provisions
as
applied
to
the
standards.
EPA
believes
that
the
five
year
records
retention
requirement
is
consistent
the
Part
70
permit
program
and
the
five
year
statute
of
limitations
on
which
the
permit
program
is
based.
Also,
the
retention
of
records
for
five
years
would
allow
EPA
to
establish
the
compliance
history
of
a
source
and
any
pattern
of
compliance
for
purposes
of
determining
the
appropriate
level
of
enforcement
action.
Historically,
EPA
has
found
that
the
most
flagrant
violators
frequently
have
violations
extending
beyond
the
five
years.
EPA
would
be
prevented
from
pursuing
the
worst
violators
due
to
the
destruction
or
nonexistence
of
records
if
records
were
retained
for
less
than
five
years.

in
connection
with
the
acquisition,
analysis,
storage,
and
distribution
of
the
required
information.

5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
Following
notification
of
start­
up,
the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
9
emission
standard.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
AFS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards.
AFS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
over
100,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
AFS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
State,
Tribal,
and
Local
regulatory
agencies,
EPA
Regional
Offices
and
EPA
Headquarters.
EPA
and
its
delegated
Authorities
can
edit,
store,
retrieve
and
analyze
the
data.

The
records
required
by
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
Ea
must
be
retained
by
the
owner
or
operator
for
two
years.
The
records
required
by
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
Eb
must
be
retained
by
the
owner
or
operator
for
five
years.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
A
majority
of
the
affected
facilities
are
large
entities
(
e.
g.,
large
businesses).
However,
the
impact
on
small
entities
(
i.
e.,
small
businesses)
was
taken
into
consideration
during
the
development
of
the
regulation.
Due
to
technical
considerations
involving
the
process
operations
and
the
types
of
control
equipment
employed
,
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
both
small
and
large
entities.
The
Agency
considers
these
requirements
the
minimum
needed
to
ensure
compliance
and,
therefore,
cannot
reduce
them
further
for
small
entities.
To
the
extent
that
larger
businesses
can
use
economies
of
scale
to
reduce
their
burden,
the
overall
burden
will
be
reduced.

The
regulations
contain
a
provision
for
less
frequent
dioxin/
furan
testing
to
allow
plants
to
test
only
one
unit
per
year
rather
than
all
units,
as
is
normally
required,
if
all
units
at
the
plant
achieve
emission
levels
significantly
lower
that
the
emission
limits
for
2
consecutive
years.
It
is
believed
that
most
units
will
qualify
for
this
option.
As
most
plant
have
2
or
more
units,
this
provision
will
reduce
dioxin
testing
frequency,
costs,
and
burden
by
at
least
one
half
starting
in
the
third
year
after
startup
of
a
new
MWC.
The
parameters
regulated
by
the
subpart
Eb
regulation
versus
those
regulated

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
costs
to
the
Agency
are
those
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
Publication
and
distribution
of
the
information
are
part
of
the
AFS
program.
Examination
of
records
to
be
maintained
by
the
respondents
will
occur
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources,
which
is
part
of
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program.

The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
3

of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
11,396
[
see
Table

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
decrease
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
adjustment.
The
adjustment
decrease
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
decrease
in
the
number
of
sources
regulated
under
both
NSPS
Subpart
Ea
and
NSPS
Subpart
Eb.
The
previous
ICR
reported
that
approximately
32
sources
were
subject
to
NSPS
Subpart
Ea
and
7
sources
were
subject
to
NSPS
Subpart
Eb.
In
addition,
the
previous
ICR
reported
that
approximately
four
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
NSPS
Subpart
Eb.
A
revised
estimated,
based
on
up­
to­
date
information
and
consultation
with
the
Integrated
Waste
Services
Association,
indicates
that
approximately
seven
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
NSPS
Subpart
Ea,
no
sources
are
regulated
by
NSPS
Subpart
Eb,
and
only
one
additional
one
source
per
year
is
expected
to
become
subject
to
NSPS
Subpart
Eb
in
the
next
three
years.
