Approval; Comment Request; Emission Guidelines for Commercial and 
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), Emission Guidelines for 
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units (EPA 
ICR No. 2385.07, OMB Control No. 2060-0664), to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR,

during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 
days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given 
below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency 
may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before January 22, 
2019.

    Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial 
Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units apply to any air quality program 
in either a state or a United States protectorate with one or more 
existing CISWI units. The guidelines can be thought of as model 
regulations that States use in developing State plans to implement the 
emission guidelines. If a state does not develop, adopt, and submit an 
approvable state plan, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must 
develop a Federal plan to implement the emission guidelines. These 
regulations apply to existing CISWI units (units that

commenced construction on or before the date of proposal).
    In general, all Emissions Guidelines standards 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 with 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of commercial 
and industrial solid waste incineration units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart DDDD).
    Estimated number of respondents: 78 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 10,400 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,200,000 (per year), which includes 
$10,000,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & 
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
estimated burden cost and number of responses. The adjustment increase 
in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an increase in 
the number of sources anticipated to remain subject to the provisions 
of Subpart DDDD since the last ICR renewal period, based on an 
inventory maintained by OAQPS. Specifically, the prior ICR assumed that 
a number of units in the incinerator subcategory would shut down based 
on amendments to the rule. However, a recent inventory of sources 
indicates that these incinerators remain in operation, and also 
identifies additional facilities with units in the small remote 
incinerators subcategory not previously included in the inventory. The 
adjustment increase in burden is due to more accurate estimates of 
existing sources. In addition, the burden hours were increased as a 
result of accounting for burden for each respondent to refamiliarize 
themselves with regulatory requirements each year.
