Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
Hospital/
Medical/
Infectious
Waste
Incinerators
(
HMIWI),
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Ec,
were
promulgated
on
September
15,
1997.
These
standards
apply
to
HMIWIs
for
which
construction
commenced
after
June
20,
1996,
or
for
which
modification
commenced
after
the
effective
date
of
the
NSPS.
Reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
differ
for
HMIWI
burning
hospital
waste
and/
or
medical/
infectious
waste;
for
combustors
co­
firing
hospital
waste
and/
or
medical/
infectious
waste
with
other
fuels;
and
for
incinerators
burning
only
pathological,
low­
level
radioactive,
and/
or
chemotherapeutic
waste.
For
this
reason,
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
are
described
separately
for
HMIWI
burning
hospital
waste
and/
or
medical/
infectious
waste
and
for
co­
fired
combustors
and
incinerators
burning
only
pathological,
low­
level
radioactive,
and/
or
chemotherapeutic
waste.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
determine
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Ec
and
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
A
 
General
Provisions.

The
Emission
Guidelines
(
EG)
and
Compliance
Times
for
HMIWIs,
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Ce,
were
promulgated
on
September
15,
1997.
These
standards
apply
to
existing
HMIWIs
for
which
construction
commenced
on
or
before
June
20,
1996.
The
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
for
existing
HMIWIs
regulated
by
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
Ce
are
covered
in
Information
Collection
1899
and
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
Control
Number
2060­
0422.
HMIWIs
built
after
June
20,
1996,
are
not
subject
to
the
subpart
Ce
guidelines;
they
are
considered
new
sources
and
are
subject
to
the
standard.

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
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
sources
subject
to
the
standard.
The
owners
or
operators
must
also
submit
annual
and
semiannual
reports.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
will
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
five
years
following
the
date
of
such
occurrence,
measurements,
maintenance,
corrective
action,
reports
or
records.
All
reports
are
sent
to
the
2
delegated
state
or
local
authority.
In
the
event
that
there
is
no
such
delegated
authority,
the
reports
are
sent
directly
to
the
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
regional
office.

Approximately
seven
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard,
and
it
is
estimated
that
an
additional
one
source
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.
It
is
further
assumed
that
one
additional
source
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
due
to
the
reconstruction
of
an
existing
affected
facility
for
an
average
of
seven
sources
over
the
next
three
years.
There
are
approximately
one
hundred
operating
hospital/
medical/
infectious
waste
incinerators
in
the
United
States.
Of
these,
only
seven
facilities
built
after
June
20,
1996,
are
considered
new
sources
and
are
subject
to
NSPS
subpart
Ec.
The
average
annual
cost
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
of
this
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)
is
estimated
at
$
305,929.

The
previous
ICR
had
the
following
Terms
of
Clearance
(
TOC):

This
ICR
is
approved
for
three
years.
When
EPA
resubmits
the
ICR
for
renewal
the
agency
should
include
a
copy
of
the
analysis
of
affected
facilities,
which
it
conducted
in
2000.

EPA
addressed
the
item
of
concern
in
the
TOC
as
requested
by
OMB,
and
supplied
the
information
provided
by
the
previous
preparer.
The
three
tables,
numbered
5,
7,
and
8,
that
the
previous
preparer
forwarded
were
used
as
the
analysis
of
affected
facilities
in
preparing
the
previous
ICR.
These
can
be
found
attached
to
the
back
of
this
supporting

Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
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
(
BDT).
3
Section
111
also
requires
that
the
Administrator
review
and,
if
appropriate,
revise
such
standards
every
four
years.

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
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,
dioxins/
furans,
particulate
matter,
carbon
monoxide,
lead,
cadmium,
hydrochloric
acid,
sulfur
dioxide,
nitrogen
oxides,
and
mercury
emissions
from
HMIWIs
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
the
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Ec.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
pollutant
from
dioxins/
furans
(
CDD/
CDF),
particulate
matter
(
PM),
carbon
monoxide
(
CO),
lead
(
Pb),
cadmium
(
Cd),
hydrochloric
acid
(
HCI),
sulfur
dioxide
(
SO
2),
nitrogen
oxides
(
NO
x),
and
mercury
(
Hg)
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
CDD/
CDF,
PM,
CO,
Pb,
Cd,
HCI,
SO
2,
NO
x,
and
Hg
from
HMIWIs
are
the
result
of
the
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
reduction
of
pollutant
emissions
using
control
technology
and/
or
leak
detection
and
repair
procedures.

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/
or
leaks
are
being
detected
and
repaired
and
the
regulations
are
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
records
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.
Operating
conditions
monitored
include
the
highest
maximum
and
lowest
minimum
operating
parameters
and
exceedances
of
emission
rates
or
operating
parameters.
4
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
Annual
reports
are
also
required,
this
will
include:
1)
site­
specific
operating
parameters;
2)
highest
and
lowest
operating
parameters;
3)
time
performance
tests
were
conducted
and
the
test
results;
4)
statement
of
no
exceedances
occurring
during
the
reporting
period;
and
5)
any
uses
of
a
bypass
stack,
the
duration,
reason
for
malfunction,
and
corrective
action
taken.
The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
that
are
affected
by
the
NSPS
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
in
compliance
with
the
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
are
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
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
requested
recordkeeping
and
reporting
are
required
under
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Ec.

3(
a)
Nonduplication
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
or
local
agency.
If
a
state
or
local
agency
has
adopted
its
own
similar
standards
to
implement
the
Federal
standards,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
state
or
a
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
(
FR
citation,
e.
g.,

FR
29718)
on
May
25,
2004.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
For
the
information
collection,
we
referenced
the
most
recent
ICR,
and
accessed
the
most
recent
data
available
on
the
Air
Facility
System
(
AFS)
database
as
maintained
by
the
Office
of
Compliance.
We
reviewed
information
available
from
the
United
States
Census
Bureau,
and
other
websites
covering
HMIWIs.
We
also
consulted
with
the
preparer
of
the
previous
ICR,
the
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards,
Information
Transfer,
the
Program
Integration
Division,
and
Mr.
Alan
Lewis,
Wheelabrator
Falls
Incorporated,

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
5
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
standards.
Requirements
for
information
gathering
and
recordkeeping
is
a
useful
technique
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.

Electronic
Reporting
Currently,
sources
are
using
monitoring
equipment
that
provides
automated
parameter
data,
e.
g.,
gases
which
contain
particulate
matter.
Although
personnel
at
the
affected
facility
must
evaluate
the
data,
this
type
of
monitoring
equipment
has
significantly
reduced
the
burden
associated
with
monitoring
and
recordkeeping.
In
addition,
some
regulatory
agencies
are
setting
up
electronic
reporting
systems
to
allow
sources
to
report
electronically
which
is
reducing
the
reporting
burden.
However,
electronic
reporting
systems
are
still
not
widely
used
by
the
regulatory
agencies.
It
is
estimated
that
approximately
15
percent
of
the
respondents
use
electronic
reporting.

of
the
required
information.

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
10
Following
notification
of
startup,
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
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
the
AFS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Compliance.
AFS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
data
for
approximately
125,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
the
AFS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
local
and
state
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
this
regulation
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.

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
costs
to
the
Agency
are
those
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
The
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program
includes
activities
such
as
the
examination
of
records
maintained
by
the
respondents,
periodic
inspection
of
sources
of
emissions,
and
the
publication
and
distribution
of
collected
information.

The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
three
years
of
the

is
estimated
to
be
$
20,031.

This

is
based
on
the

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
increase
in
burdens
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
increase
of
one
new
source
per
year,
by
averaging
the
number
of
respondents
over
the
three­
year
period
for
the
ICR.
In
addition,
a
revised
hourly
labor
rate
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor
partly
contributed
to
the
increase
in
burdens
from
the
active
ICR.

6(
g)
Burden
Statement
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
are
estimated
to
average
145
hours
per
response.
Burdens
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.

An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
displays
a
valid
OMB
Control
Number.
The
OMB
Control
Numbers
for
EPA's
regulations
are
listed
at
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
chapter
15.

To
comment
on
the
Agency's
need
for
this
information,
the
accuracy
of
the
provided
burden
estimates,
and
any
suggested
methods
for
minimizing
a
respondent
burden,
including
the
use
of
automated
collection
techniques,
EPA

Assumptions:

a
We
have
assumed
that
are
approximately
seven
sources
are
subject
to
the
standard.
We
have
further
assumed
that
one
new
source
per
year
will
be
equipped
with
wet/
dry
scrubbers
from
the
date
of
renewal.

b
This
ICR
uses
the
following
labor
rates:
$
95.32
per
hour
for
Executive,
Administrative,
and
Managerial
labor;
$
64.60
per
hour
for
Technical
labor,
and
$
40.09
per
hour
for
Clerical
labor.
These
rates
are
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
December
2003,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,

by
occupational
and
industry
group."
The
rates
are
from
column
1,
"
Total
compensation."
The
rates
have
been
increased
by
110%
to
account
for
the
benefit
packages
available
to
those
employed
by
private
industry.

c
We
have
assumed
that
it
will
take
thirteen
hours
to
perform
a
CMS
performance
test.

d
We
have
assumed
that
20
percent
of
initial
performance
tests
must
be
repeated
due
to
failure.
22
e
Assume
it
will
take
160
hours
to
develop
the
operating
information.

f
Assume
it
will
take
20
hours
to
update
the
operating
information
each
year.

g
This
activity
will
not
be
performed
for
the
first
year
of
a
new
source.

h
Assume
it
will
require
two
operators
at
each
facility.

i
Assume
it
will
take
460
hours
to
develop
the
site
selection
analysis.

j
Assume
it
will
take
160
hours
to
develop
a
waste
reduction
plan.

k
Assume
it
will
take
40
hours
to
review
report
of
initial
performance
test.

l
Assume
it
will
take
48
hours
to
report.
Testing
and
monitoring
requirements
focuses
primarily
on
three
pollutants,
particulate
matter
(
PM),
carbon
monoxide
(
CO),
and
hydrochloric
acid
(
HCI).

m
Respondents
must
submit
semiannual
reports
(
See
Footnote
n).

n
Since
the
semiannual
report
coincides
once
a
year
with
the
annual
report
and
both
reports
include
information
on
exceedances
and
periods
of
which
data
were
not
obtained,
the
frequency
of
the
semiannual
report
is
shown
in
the
tables
as
only
once
per
year
instead
of
twice
a
year
to
avoid
double­
counting.

o
Assume
that
an
additional
six
sources
(
pathological
and
co­
fired
combustors)
are
also
projected
each
year,
but
are
considered
exempt
from
the
rule.
It
is
assumed
that
there
will
be
one
affected
facility
per
respondent.

p
Assume
that
it
takes
272
days­
per­
year
to
record
CMS
operation
and
maintenance.

Assumptions:

a
We
have
assumed
that
are
approximately
seven
sources
are
subject
to
NSPS,
subpart
Ec.
We
have
further
assumed
that
one
new
sources
per
year
will
be
equipped
with
wet/
dry
scrubbers
from
the
date
of
renewal.

b
This
cost
is
based
on
the
following
hourly
labor
rates
times
a
1.6
benefits
multiplication
factor
to
account
for
government
overhead
expenses:
$
54.66
for
Managerial
(
GS­
13,
Step
5,
$
34.16
x
1.6),
$
40.56
for
Technical
(
GS­
12,
Step
1,
$
25.35
x
1.6)
and
$
21.95
Clerical
(
GS­
6,
Step
3,
$
13.72
x
1.6).
These
rates
are
from
the
Office
of
Personnel
Management
(
OPM)
"
2004
General
Schedule"
which
excludes
locality
rates
of
pay.

c
Each
year
a
total
of
one
HMIWI
performs
an
initial
performance
test.
It
is
assumed
that
EPA
personnel
attends
8
percent
of
these
tests.

d
It
is
assumed
that
20
percent
will
fail
the
initial
performance
test,
and
will
have
to
repeat
the
test.

e
Assume
10
percent
of
retests
are
attended
by
EPA
personnel.

f
Assume
10
percent
of
the
affected
facilities
are
required
to
retest
as
a
result
of
excess
emissions,
with
10
percent
of
these
tests
being
attended
by
EPA
personnel.

g
Assume
that
an
additional
6
sources
(
pathological
and
co­
fired
combustors)
are
also
projected
each
year,
but
are
considered
exempt
from
the
rule.
It
is
assumed
26
that
there
will
be
one
affected
facility
per
respondent.

h
Assume
it
takes
six
person­
hours
per
report
to
review
each
pollutant.
For
initial
tests
there
are
seven
pollutants
that
are
subject
to
this
rule
(
PM,
CO,
CDD/
CDF,

HCI,
metals,
stack
opacity,
and
fugitive
emissions.

i
Assume
it
takes
eight
person­
hours
per
report
to
review
each
CMS
demonstration.
There
are
eight
CMS
that
are
subject
to
this
rule
(
temperature,
gas
flow,

charge
weight,
pH,
liquid
flow,
pressure
drop,
carbon
flow,
and
lime
flow).

j
This
activity
will
not
be
performed
for
the
first
year
of
a
new
source.

k
Respondents
must
submit
annual
reports
and
semiannual
reports
(
See
Footnote
m).

l
Assume
that
80
percent
of
respondents
report
no
exceedances.

m
Since
the
semiannual
report
coincides
once
a
year
with
the
annual
report
and
both
reports
include
information
on
exceedances
and
periods
of
which
data
were
not
obtained,
the
frequency
of
the
semiannual
report
is
shown
in
the
tables
as
only
once
per
year
instead
of
twice
a
year
to
avoid
double­
counting.
