    Abstract: The Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: 
Sewage Sludge Incineration (SSI) Units Subpart LLLL, fulfill the 
requirements of sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), which 
require EPA to promulgate New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) for 
solid waste incineration units. The information collection activities 
required by the NSPS include: siting requirements, operator training 
and qualification requirements, testing, monitoring and reporting 
requirements, one-time and periodic reports, and the maintenance of 
records. These activities will enable the Designated Administrator to 
determine initial compliance with the emission limits for the regulated 
pollutants, monitor compliance with operating parameters, and ensure 
that facilities conduct the proper planning and operator training.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of SSI units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart LLLL).
    Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually, and annually
    Total estimated burden: 798 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $447,624 (per year), includes $369,556 
annualized total capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in respondent and 
Agency burden in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The increase is 
due to an adjustment in the estimated number of sources. The previous 
ICR estimated two new units subject to the standard during the initial 
three-year compliance period. However, recent research indicates there 
are still no units subject to the standard at this time. Those same two 
new units are expected to become subject during three-year period of 
this ICR, and another unit is expected to be modified and therefore 
also subject to the NSPS. This change in estimate also results in an 
increase in total capital and O&M costs.
