Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb)

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

      1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1847.06,   OMB Control Number 2060-0390. 

      1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract		

      The Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 were proposed on September 20, 1994, promulgated on December 19, 1995, and amended on August 25, 1997, and May 10, 2006.  These regulations apply to existing facilities that own and operate municipal waste combustion (MWC) units with a combustion capacity greater than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste (large MWC    units). The reporting and recordkeeping requirements discussed below result from the     emission guidelines that apply to large MWCs covered by EPA-approved and effective State plans and, where a State plan has not been approved, large MWCs covered by the Federal plan.  This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb.

      In general, emission guidelines 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 emission guidelines.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part 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 or local authority.   In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      There is an overall total of 81 respondents.  Approximately 162 large MWC units located at 63 MWC plants (respondents) in 22 States are subject to the emission guidelines through either State or the Federal plans. Of the 63 large MWC plants, 55 are located in states with State plans and eight are located in states without State plans and are thus subject to the Federal plan.  Currently,  49 percent of large MWC plants are privately-owned.  The remaining 51 percent are owned by state and local governments.  Since the Emission Guidelines only apply to sources that commenced construction on or before September 20, 1994, no additional MWC units will become subject to the standard over the next three years.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The active (previous) ICR had the following Terms of Clearance (TOC):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            When this ICR is renewed, EPA should review the respondent burden,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            universe, response number, labor rates, and capital costs and ensure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            these estimates have been updated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	To address the TOC, EPA has updated the respondent burden, universe, number of responses, labor rates, and capital costs based on the most recent available information and consultation with industry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	The "Affected Public" includes MWC units that are owned by the private sector, MWC units that are owned by state and local government, as well as State Administrators. The burden to the "Affected Public" may be found below in Table 1a: Annual Privately-Owned Respondent Burden and Cost  -  Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal), and in Table 1b: Annual Publicly Owned Respondent Burden and Cost  -  Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal).  The burden to the "Designated State Administrator" is attributed entirely to work performed by either the state, or local, or tribal air pollution authority employees or government contractors and may be found below in Table 1c: Average Annual Designated Administrator Burden and Cost  -  Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal).  The burden to the "Federal Government" is attributed entirely to work performed by other Federal employees or by government contractors and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal). 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  Need for and Use of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(a)  Need/Authority for the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The EPA is charged under section 111(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as 
amended, to:

            . . . prescribe regulations which shall establish a procedure similar to that provided by section 110 under which each State shall submit to the Administrator a plan which (A) establishes standards of performance for any existing source for any air pollutant (i) for which air quality criteria have not been issued or which is not included on a list published under section 108(a) . . . but (ii) to which a standard of performance under this section would apply if such existing source were a new source, and (B) provides for the implementation and enforcement of such standards of performance.

      The EPA is required under section 129 of the Act, to establish guidelines for existing stationary sources that reflect the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for achieving continuous emission reductions:

      Section 129(a)(1)(A) states:

            The Administrator shall establish performance standards and other requirements pursuant to section 111 and this section for each category of solid waste incineration units.  Such standards shall include emissions limitations and other requirements applicable to new units and guidelines (under section 111(d) and this section) and other requirements applicable to existing units.

      Section 129(a)(2) states:

            Standards applicable to solid waste incineration units promulgated under section 111 and this section shall reflect the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of air pollutants listed under section (a)(4) that the Administrator, taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emission reduction, and any non-air quality health and environmental impacts and energy requirements, determines is achievable for new or existing units in each category.

      Section 129(b)(1) states:


            Performance standards under this section and section 111 for solid waste incineration units shall include guidelines promulgated pursuant to section 111(d) and this section applicable to existing units.  Such guidelines shall include, as provided in this section, each of the elements required by subsection (a) (emissions limitations, notwithstanding any restriction in section 111(d) regarding issuance of such limitations), subsection (c) (monitoring), subsection (d) (operator training), subsection (e) (permits), and subsection (h)(4) (residual risk).

      Subpart B of 40 CFR part 60 requires State plans to include monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting provisions consistent with the emission guidelines.  In addition, section 114(a)(1) states that:

            the Administrator may require any person who owns or operates any emission source, who manufactures emission control equipment or process equipment, who the Administrator believes may have information necessary for the purposes set forth in this subsection, or who is subject to any requirement of this Act (other than a manufacturer subject to the provisions of section 206(c) or 208 with respect to a provision of title II) on a one-time, periodic or continuous basis 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 Administer 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; . . . .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Section 129 of the CAA directs that the emissions guidelines for MWCs must include emissions limits for particulate matter, opacity, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, lead, cadmium, mercury, and dioxins and dibenzofurans.  The 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb emission guidelines address all of these pollutants.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with  the applicable regulations which where promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act.  The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility's initial capability to comply with the emission standard.  Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times.  During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The notifications required in the standard 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, leaks are being detected and repaired and the standard are being met.   The performance test may also be observed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(a)  Non-duplication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       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 local agency     can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards.  Therefore,  duplication does not exist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 (77 FR 47631) on August 9, 2012.  No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(c)  Consultations
 
      The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years.  The primary source of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTIS) which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance.  OTIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data.  The growth rate for the industry is based      on our consultations with the Agency's internal industry experts. 

      Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed and the standard has been previously reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes.  In developing this ICR, we contacted: 1) the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), at (240) 494-2253; 2) the National Solid Waste Management Association (NSWMA), at (202) 364-3773; 3) Veolia ES Solid Waste, at (414) 479-7883; and 4) Covanta, at (973) 882-7253.  
      
      EPA did not receive any comments from the consultations.

      It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice.  In this case, no comments were received.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(e)  General Guidelines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for 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.  The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history  of a source, any pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action.  EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five years.  In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction  or nonexistence of essential records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(f)  Confidentiality
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B  -  Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(g)  Sensitive Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electronic Reporting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data.  Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Also, regulatory agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically.  However, electronic reporting systems are still not widely used.  At this time, it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii)  Respondent Activities	
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Respondent Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Read instructions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate continuous emissions monitoring systems for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, opacity, carbon monoxide, load level, temperature of the fuel gas stream, and oxygen or carbon dioxide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perform initial performance test, applicable Reference Method test, and repeat performance tests if necessary.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write the notifications and reports listed above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter information required to be recorded above.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Currently sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way e.g., continuous parameter monitoring system.  Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.  The Information Collected:  Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(a)  Agency Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agency Activities

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audit facility records.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information System (OTIS). 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(b)  Collection Methodology and Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could 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 OTIS which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance.  OTIS 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 OTIS 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/operator for five years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      There are no small entities (i.e., small businesses) affected by this regulation. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(d)  Collection Schedule
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1a: Annual Privately Owned Respondent Burden and Cost  -  Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal), and Table 1b: Annual Publicly Owned Respondent Burden and Cost  -  Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.  Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR.  The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act.  Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified.  Responses to this information collection are mandatory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(a)  Estimating Respondent Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 394,965 hours.  By individual category, there are: 1) 190,927 hours for privately owned MWCs (Total Labor Hours from Table 1a below); 2) 201,002 hours for publicly owned MWCs (Total Labor Hours from Table 1b below); and 30 3,036 hours for designated State plan administrators (Total Labor Hours from Table 1c below).  These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the Emission Guidelines, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i)  Estimating Labor Costs 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This ICR uses the following labor rates: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Managerial	$121.44 ($57.83+ 110%)   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Technical	$100.23 ($47.73 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Clerical	$50.51 ($24.05 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2012, "Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group."  The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation."  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Additionally, this ICR assumes a contractor rate of $168.60.  The contractor rate was derived by taking the contractor rate in the previous ICR and multiplying by the average increase in managerial, technical, and clerical rates since the previous ICR.  The result is a five percent increase in contractor rate since the last ICR.  The labor rates for publicly-owned sources and State administrators are detailed in Section 6(c).

            (ii)  Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring.  The capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation.  The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

 [1] Since the Emission Guidelines only apply to sources that commenced construction on or before September 20, 1994, no additional MWC units will become subject to the standard over the next three years. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2] Approximately 162 sources located at 63 plants are currently subject to the Emissions Guidelines and each source requires continuous monitoring. Of the 162 sources, 80 sources are within the private sector and 82 sources are publicly-owned. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      There are no capital/startup costs for this ICR.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $1,555,200.  This is the total of column G. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $1,555,200.   These are recordkeeping costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information.  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 ICR is estimated to be $19,924.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

		Managerial	$62.27 (GS-13, Step 5, $38.92 + 60%) 
		Technical	$46.21 (GS-12, Step 1, $28.88 + 60%)
		Clerical	$25.01 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.63 + 60%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2012 General Schedule, which excludes locality, rates of pay.  The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees.  Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal).

      6(d)  Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three years, approximately 81 existing respondents will be subject to the standard.  It is estimated that no additional respondents will become subject.  The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below is 81 per year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

[1]An average of 63 large MWC plants (respondents) will be subject to the standards over the next three years. Approximately 31 respondents are privately-owned and 32 respondents are publicly-owned. Additionally, it is estimated there will 18 State Designated Administrators.  Total number of respondents = (63 + 18) = 81. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Column D is subtracted to avoid double-counting respondents.  As shown above,          the average Number of Respondents over the three year period of this ICR is 81.

See below Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and  Cost  -  Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      There is a small decrease in labor hours for privately owned respondents and an increase in labor hours for publicly owned respondents from the most recent ICR.  The changes in labor hours are due to rounding in the number of respondents that are subject to semi-annual excess emissions reporting.  This ICR uses rounded value for the number of respondents in calculating labor hours and costs.  Additionally, there is an increase of one labor hour for the Agency due   to correction of rounding error from the previous ICR. 
      
      There is also an increase in labor costs for both the respondents and the Agency.         This increase is not due to any program changes.  The change in cost estimates reflects     updated labors rates available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(g)  Burden Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,725 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 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.

       Assumptions:
     a. Assume 162 large MWC units at 63 plants, 49 percent of which are privately owned.
     b. This ICR uses the following labor rates: $121.44 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor: $100.23 per hour for Technical labor, and $50.51 per hour for Clerical labor.  These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, 
                        Bureau of labor Statistics, March 2012, Table 2 Civilian Workers by occupational and industry group,  The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation."  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those 
                        employed by private industry.  The contractor rate was derived by taking the contractor rate used in the previous ICR and multiplying by the average increase in managerial, technical, and clerical rates since the previous ICR.
     c. Assume 20 percent of reporting plants must repeat initial tests due to failure at one unit at the plant.  
     d. RATA audits are performed for one of the four quarterly audits.  RAA tests are performed for three of the four quarterly audits.  Audits of the diluent monitor (O2 or CO2) are not required because tests on SO2 and CO monitors will incorporate the use of 
                        the diluent monitor.
     e. Assume 20 percent of affected plants must submit two semiannual reports per year due to exceeding one or more pollutant emission limits.
                   [f][.]       Based on weekly recordkeeping, we assume 47 weeks of operation (90 percent availability) per year per MWC.
                   [g][.][.]      Based on quarterly calculation of sorbent use for entire plant, regardless of the number of affected facilities at the plant.

       Assumptions:
      a. Assume 162 large MWC units at 63 plants, 49 percent of which are privately owned.
      b. This ICR uses the following labor rates: $121.44 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor: $100.23 per hour for Technical labor, and $50.51 per hour for Clerical labor.  These rates are from the United States Department of Labor,
         Bureau of labor Statistics, March 2012, Table 2 Civilian Workers by occupational and industry group, The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation."  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those
   employed by private industry.  The contractor rate was derived by taking the contractor rate used in the previous ICR and multiplying by the average increase in managerial, technical, and clerical rates since the previous ICR.
      c. Assume 20 percent of reporting plants must repeat initial tests due to failure at one unit at the plant.
      d. RATA audits are performed for one of the four quarterly audits.  RAA tests are performed for three of the four quarterly audits.  Audits of the diluent monitor  (O2 or CO2) are not required because tests on SO2 and CO monitors will incorporate the use of
         the diluent monitor.
      e.  Assume 20 percent of affected plants must submit two semiannual reports per year due to exceeding one or more pollutant emission limits.
      f. Based on weekly recordkeeping, we assume 47 weeks of operation (90 percent availability) per year per MWC.
      g. Based on quarterly calculation of sorbent use for entire plant, regardless of the number of affected facilities at the plant.
      h. Includes both respondent and contractor hours.

                                   Assumptions:
            a. Assume 144 affected units as 55 plants in 18 states.
            b. This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $62.27 Managerial rate (GS-13, Step 5, $38.92 x 1.6), $46.21 Technical rate (GS-12, Step 1, $28.88 x 1.6) 
            c. Assume EPA personnel attend about 8 percent of tests (145 units tested x 8 percent attended =12)
            d. Assume a 20 percent failure rate and that EPA personnel attend 10 percent of the retests (7 units tested *20 percent failure* 10 percent retests attended = 1).
            e. Burden not incurred until second year of operation and later.
            f. Assume 20 percent of affected plants must submit two semiannual reports per year due to exceeding one or more pollutant emission limits.

                  Assumptions:   
         a.  Assumes 18 affected units at 8 plants in 4 states.
         b. The cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses $62.27 Managerial rate (GS-13, Step 5, $38.92 x 1.6), $46.21 Technical rate (GS-12, Step 1, $28.88 x 1.6), and 
            $25.01 Clerical rate (GS-6, Step 3, $15.63 x 1.6).  These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2012 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.
         c. Assume EPA personnel attend about 8 percent of tests (22 units tested x 8 percent attended = 2).
         d. Assume a 20 percent failure rate and that EPA personnel attend 10 percent of the retests (7 units tested *20 percent failure* 10 percent retests attended = 1)
         e. Burden not incurred until second year of operation and later.
         f. Assumes 20 percent of affected plants must submit two semiannual reports per year due to exceeding one or more pollutant emission limits.
