    Title: NSPS for Incinerators (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1058.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0040.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2010. Under 
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: This Information Collection Request (ICR) renewal is 
being submitted for the NSPS for Incinerators (40 CFR part 60, subpart 
E), which were promulgated on July 25, 1977. These standards apply to 
incinerators that charge more than 45 metric tons per day (50 tons per 
day) of solid waste for the purpose of reducing the volume of the 
waste. Solid waste is defined as refuse that is more than 50 percent 
municipal wastes.
    Owners and operators of incinerators subject to NSPS must notify 
EPA of construction, reconstruction, anticipated and actual startup 
dates, and results of performance tests. Records of performance test 
results, shutdowns, and malfunctions must be maintained. These 
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining 
compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to 
NSPS.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 51 
hours per response. Burden 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

[[Page 26956]]

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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Incinerators.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 82.
    Frequency of Response: Initially and occasionally.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 8,393.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $998,858, which includes $793,858 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $205,000 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There are no changes to the labor hours 
for the Respondents in this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This 
is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over 
the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next 
three years; and (2) the growth rate for the respondents is very low, 
negative or non-existent.
    However, there is an increase in respondent labor costs due to 
labor rate increases from the year 2003 to the most recent available 
labor rate data.
