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. Dated: May 7, 2010.
