    Abstract: These standards apply to each municipal waste combustor 
(MWC) unit with a capacity greater than 250 tons per day of municipal 
solid waste which commenced construction, modification or 
reconstruction after December 20, 1989. MWCs are required to keep 
records and periodically report their compliance status. Information 
required by the NSPS is necessary to ensure that emission standards are 
attained and that MWC's are properly operated and maintained.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of municipal 
waste combustor units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subparts Ea and Eb).
    Estimated number of respondents: 13 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 20,272 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,897,888 (per year), includes $136,636 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 149 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. These changes are due to the following adjustments: 
(1) The number of sources subject to each Subpart was revised to 
reflect more recent information obtained through the Agency's research 
within the MWC sector; (2) the number of sources required to submit 
initial notification and site analysis was corrected to reflect this 
activity as a burden only for new sources, rather than for existing 
sources; (3) several mathematical errors in calculating burden costs 
were corrected; and (4) all estimates were updated using more recent 
labor rates.
