    Title: NSPS for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration 
Units (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1926.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0450.
    ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved 
collection that is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2007. Under the OMB 
regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An 
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required 
under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to collect data. 
The information will be used by Agency enforcement personnel to (1) 
identify existing sources subject to these standards; (2) ensure that 
Best Demonstrated Technology is being properly applied; and (3) ensure 
that the emission control device is being properly operated and 
maintained on a continuous basis. In addition, records and reports are 
necessary to enable the EPA to identify those site remediation 
facilities that may not be in compliance with these standards. Based on 
reported information, the EPA can decide which facilities should be 
inspected and what records or processes should be inspected at the 
facilities. The records that site remediation facilities maintain would 
indicate to the EPA whether the personnel are operating and maintaining 
control equipment properly. The type of data required is principally 
emissions data (through parametric monitoring) and would not be 
confidential. If any information is submitted to the EPA for which a 
claim of confidentiality is made, the information would be safeguarded 
according to the Agency policies set forth in 40 CFR, chapter 1, part 
2, subpart B.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9. The Federal Register document 
required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this collection 
of information was published on June 21, 2006. No comments were 
received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 250 
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

[[Page 12607]]

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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Commercial and Industrial Solid 
Waste Incineration Units.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 31.
    Frequency of Response: Initial, on occasion, semiannual, annual.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,246.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,029,920 which includes $2,240 
Annualized Capital Start up Costs, $6,330 Annualized Operations & 
Maintenance (O&M), and $1,021,350 Annualized Labor Costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in cost from the most 
recently approved ICR due to the revised number of sources. There is 
also an overall reduction in burden because the estimated growth rate 
for the industry was reduced from six to one per year. For the same 
reason, the capital startup costs are lower.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
