The information will be used by the
EPA to identify HMIWI subject to the emission guidelines and ensure
that the guidelines are being met. Records and reports are
necessary to enable the EPA to identify facilities that may not be
in compliance with the guidelines. Based on reported information,
EPA will decidde which facilities should be inspected and what
records or units should be inspected at the facilities. The records
that facilities maintain will indicate to EPA whether facility
personnel are operating and maintaining the equipment properly.
Recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with the
current emission guidelines are approved by OMB under OMB Control
Number 2060-0422 (EPA ICR number 1899.04).
The reduction in labor burden
from the most currently approved requirements is primarily due to a
reduction in the number of respondents, burden items, and hours.
The ongoing recordkeeping requirements for co-fired combustors and
incinerators burning only pathological, low-level radioactive,
and/or chemotherapeutic waste have been omitted. However, the
resulting reduction in labor costs is more than offset by the
increase in annual capital/startup and O&M costs, which is a
result of the increased monitoring and testing activity that would
be necessary uner the current propsed revisions to the emission
guidelines.
