ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

1(a) Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1773.12, OMB Control Number 2050-0171.


1(b) Short Characterization


The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) were proposed on April 19, 1996, promulgated on September 30, 1999, and subsequently revised on October 12, 2005. These regulations apply to the following types of new and existing combustion units that burn hazardous waste: incinerators, cement kilns, lightweight aggregate kilns, solid fuel boilers, liquid fuel boilers, and hydrochloric acid production facilities. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE.


In general, all NESHAP 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.


Any owner/operator subject to this NESHAP is required to maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. If there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. EPA regional office.


The Affected Public includes owners/operators of hazardous waste combustors. The “burden” to the Affected Public may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal). The “burden” to the Federal Government is attributed entirely to work performed by either Federal employees or government contractors and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal). There are currently approximately 177 hazardous waste combustor units at 153 facilities, which are owned and operated by the hazardous waste combustor industry. None of the 177 affected facilities in the United States are owned by either state, local, tribal or the Federal government. They are all owned and operated by privately-owned, for-profit businesses. We assume that they will all respond to EPA inquiries.


Over the next three years, approximately 180 HWC units per year will be subject to these standards, which includes one additional HWC unit per year that will become subject to these same standards during this period.


The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active ICR without any “Terms of Clearance”.


2. Need for and Use of the Collection


2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection


The EPA is charged under section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of HAP and require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner or operator subject to any requirement of the Clean Air Act to:


(A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.


In the Administrator’s judgment, HAP emissions from hazardous waste combustors either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and/or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this category at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE.


2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data


The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in these standards ensure compliance with the applicable regulations that were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.


Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility’s initial capability to comply with the emission standards. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with these standards at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor.

The notifications required in these standards are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of these regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated and leaks are being detected and repaired and that these standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed.


The required quarterly and semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.


3. Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria


The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE.


3(a) Non-duplication


If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or local agency. If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist.


3(b) Public Notice


An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register (83 FR 31142) on July 3, 2018. One comment was received on the Federal Register notice for this renewal, however, the comment was an anonymous submission unrelated to the burden or other aspects of the ICR, and does not require a response.


3(c) Consultations


The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in these standards, is the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). ICIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency’s internal industry experts and consultations with related trade organizations. Based on these consultations, approximately 180 existing units at 153 facilities will be subject to these standards over the three-year period covered by this ICR, which includes one new HWC unit per year.


Industry trade association(s) and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with these standards as it was being developed and these same standards have been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, we contacted both the Coalition for Responsible Waste Incineration (CRWI), at 703-431-7343, and the American Chemistry Council, at 202-249-6131.


It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal, as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. The comments received and our responses may be found in Section 3(b) above and the docket for this ICR at http://www.fdms.gov.


3(d) Effects of Less-Frequent Collection


Less-frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet these standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.


3(e) General Guidelines


These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.


These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to these standards. EPA believes that the five-year records retention requirement is consistent with the Part 70 permit program and the five-year statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five years. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.


3(f) Confidentiality


Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B - Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).


3(g) Sensitive Questions


The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in these standards do not include sensitive questions.

5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management


5(a) Agency Activities



Agency Activities


Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.


Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) and ICIS.


5(b) Collection Methodology and Management

Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply with the emission standard and note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.


Information contained in the reports is reported by state and local governments in the ICIS Air database, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. ICIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. EPA uses ICIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.


The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five years.


5(c) Small Entity Flexibility


A majority of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. The regulations allow much of the information requirements be kept in facility records rather than in submittals to EPA, thus reducing time and costs of providing the information. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced.


5(d) Collection Schedule


All of the ICR requirements have clearly defined reporting schedules. For example, these include periodic reports such as comprehensive performance test plans and Notification of Compliances that are required to be submitted in a periodic, well defined, manner, such as quarterly or semiannually; one-time reports, including construction / reconstruction applications, alternative monitoring requests, extension of compliance waivers, and operating limit waivers; and intermittent reports, including AWFCO and ESV opening reports, test waivers, inhibitor and carbon substitution requests, and CEMS evaluation reports, which are submitted on an as needed basis with no defined schedule.


6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection


Table 1 below documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.


The 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.


6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden


The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 62,500 (Total Labor Hours from Table 1). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.


6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs


  1. Estimating Labor Costs


This ICR uses the following labor rates:


Managerial $149.35 ($71.12 + 110%)

Technical $112.98 ($53.80 + 110%)

Clerical $54.81 ($26.10 + 110%)


These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2017, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.


  1. Estimating Capital/Startup and Operating and Maintenance Costs


The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard(s) are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $427,000. This is the total of column D in the above table.


The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $2,460,000. This is the total of column G.


The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $2,890,000. These are recordkeeping costs.


6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost


The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes such activities as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information.


The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $421,000.


This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:


Managerial $64.80 (GS-13, Step 5, $40.50 + 60%)

Technical $48.08 (GS-12, Step 1, $30.05 + 60%)

Clerical $26.02 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.26 + 60%)


These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2017 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. These costs also include $2,290 in mailing costs for notifications mailed to respondents to communicate Agency determinations. Details upon which these estimates are based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal).


6(d) Estimating Respondent Universe & Total Burden & Costs Respondent Universe


Based on our research for this ICR, over the next three years, approximately 177 existing units at 153 facilities will be subject to these standards, with one new unit per year over the same period. The overall average number of respondents submitting reports in each year is calculated as one-third of the total respondents and is 60 respondents per year.


The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three years covered by this ICR:

Total

1,555


The number of Total Annual Responses is 1,555.


The total annual labor costs are $6,670,000. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal).


6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hour and Cost Tables


The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, and summarized below.


  1. Respondent Tally


The total annual labor hours are 62,500 hours (rounded). Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal).


Labor hour estimates are provided for technical, managerial, and clerical tasks. The burdens for managerial tasks include the time for managers to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens include time to proofread reports, make copies and maintain records.


Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 40 hours per response.


The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $2,890,000. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.

  1. The Agency Tally


The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 8,420 labor hours at a cost of $421,000; see below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal).


Labor hour estimates are provided for technical, managerial, and clerical tasks. The burdens for managerial tasks include the time for managers to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens include time to proofread reports, make copies and maintain records.


6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden


There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The adjustment decrease in burden is due to a decrease in the number of respondents based on more accurate estimates of the number of existing and new respondents as provided by the Agency and industry consultations. The decrease in burden is also a result of the removal of burden items related to requirements that are not associated with: these standards, testing and installation activities that are not information collection activities, submittal of certain conditional or optional information that is not required by the rule, and one-time activities that have been completed. These changes are further discussed below. These changes also result in an adjustment decrease in the number of responses. The number of responses also reflects updates to clarify those responses related to reporting and that related to recordkeeping activities where reports are not submitted.


There is an adjustment increase in the total capital and O&M costs based on the revised estimates of the number of new respondents. As discussed below, because this ICR assumes one new HWC unit per year, we have included capital and O&M costs for CO and O2 CEMS, PM CEMS, COMs, and CMS. These items were not included in the previously-approved ICR because it was assumed that existing sources had the equipment required to meet the standards already installed.


There have been a number of additional revisions to this ICR from the most recently- approved ICR. These revisions include updates to the supporting statement and burden tables to conform to the Agency’s standardized ICR format. The updates to the supporting statement focus on streamlining the information included in this ICR to focus on the relevant recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and minor textual revisions to clarify the Agency’s information collection process.


For example, we have clarified Section 3(a) “Nonduplication” and Section 3(c) “Consultations” to clarify the Agency’s processes to avoid duplication of the information collected under this ICR, and to provide a description of the Agency’s processes for conducting consultations and the information received. We have also revised Section 3(d) “Effects of Less Frequent Collection” to clarify the rationale for the current collection frequency and outline the impacts of less frequent collection. We have corrected Section 3(e) “General Guidelines” to reflect that these standards include a five-year records retention requirement.


Section 4(b) “Information Requested” has been substantially revised to reduce the long form description of the standards included in the most recently approved ICR and to condense the data item requirements into separate tables for “Notifications”, “Reports”, and “Recordkeeping”, consistent with the Agency’s standardized ICR format. Respondent activities are similarly listed in a new table in Section 4(b)(ii). The data items and activities listed in these tables are based on the information included the in the most recently approved ICR and continue to correspond with the notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements detailed below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR 63, Subpart EEE) Renewal. These edits help provide succinct references to the rule requirements and ease the readability of the information collection.


Section 5(a) “Agency Activities” has also been revised to remove the long form descriptions of agency responsibilities and to replace these descriptions with a simplified table of activities. The activities previously listed in the most recently approved ICR are instead summarized in a revised table and correspond with the agency review activities detailed below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal). We have also updated Section 5(b) “Collection Methodology and Management” to clarify how the information collected is reported by state and local governments to the Agency’s ICIS Air database for management.


Section 6 of the previously-approved ICR has been updated to conform to the Agency’s standardized ICR format and explain changes to the labor rates, number of respondents, calculation of capital and operation and maintenance costs, and bottom line burden hours and costs. As discussed in Section 6(b), the labor rates used in this ICR include updated Managerial, Technical, and Clerical rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. To conform the labor hours included in the previously-approved ICR with these updated labor rates, we have consolidated hours included for additional labor categories, including Legal and Consultant hours, into the Managerial and Technical hours, respectively. The consolidation of Legal to Managerial and Consultant to Technical hours preserves the hourly labor assumptions for individual burden items and assigns a similar labor rate. We have also removed a reference to separate labor rates for respondent activities for State agencies which were previously assigned to burden associated with agency review of information, as there is no requirement to calculate burden separately for State agency review activities.


We have revised Section 6(b)(ii) and (iii) to delineate the capital and operation maintenance costs for respondents in a table to conform to the Agency’s standardized ICR format. The “Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs” table clearly delineates the elements of “burden” with capital or O&M costs. Because the revised inventory of respondents assumes a growth rate of one new HWC unit per year, we have included capital and O&M costs for CO and O2 CEMS, PM CEMS, COMs, and CMS, which were not included in the previously approved ICR.


Section 6(c) “Estimating Agency Burden and Cost” has been revised to update the labor rates to include updated Managerial, Technical, and Clerical rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. To conform the labor hours included in the previously-approved ICR with these updated labor rates, we have consolidated hours included for additional labor categories, including Legal and Consultant hours, into the Managerial and Technical hours, respectively.


We have revised Section 6(d) to clarify how the number of respondents is calculated over the three-year period of this ICR. We have also added a table that provides the number of responses, and that clarify the responses related to reporting burden and those related to recordkeeping activities unrelated to the submittal of reports. We have streamlined this section to remove a lengthy text description which discussed the type and number of sources for which each of the specific ICR requirements is estimated to apply; these assumptions are now included in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal).


We have reformatted and revised Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal) to streamline the requirements for respondents. The revised table is formatted to delineate the requirements and associated burden by the type of reporting or recordkeeping activity, separate out capital and operation and maintenance costs (now provided in Section 6(b)), consolidate labor hours for Managerial, Technical, and Clerical tasks as discussed above, and adjust the number of respondents to reflect changes in inventory and expected activities. We have analyzed each burden item to classify the item as a recordkeeping and reporting requirement and remove requirements that are not considered information collection activities under the Paperwork Reduction Act. For example, we removed line items or labor hours that were designated as “complying with the applicable operating parameter limit” for various pollutants because compliance with the standards is not a recordkeeping or reporting activity, and there is no actual “burden” associated with this. We have also removed burden related to the conduct of performance tests or the installation of CEMS, COMs, or CPMS, because these testing and installation activities are not recordkeeping or reporting requirements, and are included in the capital and operation and maintenance costs. Similarly, we removed several line items for burden associated with the preparation and submittal of “additional relevant information, if requested by the EPA”. These line items were removed because they were related to either conditional or optional information that are not required by the rule; “burden” is not typically calculated for this type of submittal. We removed a one-time requirement that allowed for facilities to use previous DRE test results to document compliance with the DRE standard. We also removed the “burden” for requirements for storage and transfer from the HCl Production Furnace NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart NNNNN), because these requirements are not associated with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE). Finally, we updated the number of respondents for some burden items based on mathematical errors and discrepancies identified between the prior table and the assumptions detailed in the supporting statement.


Similarly, we revised Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EEE) (Renewal) to streamline the requirements for the federal government. As discussed above, we removed separate Agency burden estimates for activities for State agencies which were previously associated with Agency review of information, as there is no requirement to calculate burden separately for State agency review activities. The revised table consolidates labor hours for Managerial, Technical, and Clerical tasks as discussed above; adjusts the number of respondents to reflect changes in inventory; and revises the burden activities to correspond to the changes to Table 1.


6(g) Burden Statement


The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 40 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 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; 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.

a

The total number of respondents estimated over the next three years is based on approximately 177 existing units at 153 facilities that are subject to the standard, with one new unit per year over the same period. The overall average number of respondents submitting reports in each year is calculated as one-third of the total respondents and is 60 respondents per year.


b

This ICR uses the following labor rates: $149.35 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $112.98 per hour for Technical labor, and $54.81 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2017 “Table 2: Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total Compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

j

All sources must meet the QA requirements for CEMS. Assumes all sources will develop a QA program and 11% will submit a revised QA program.



k

Burden for performance evaluations is included in the notification of performance test and CMS performance evaluations.




l

We estimate that 1 cement kiln with an in-line kiln raw mill will comply with the emission averaging requirements for kilns of this type. Thus, they will conduct a performance test when the raw mill is on-line and when the mill is off-line, and include the averaging procedures in their Notification of Compliance and operating record.


m

Assumes 20% of all facilities operating an HWC will apply for an extension each year.








n

It is estimated that 50% of the sources reporting annually will be making design, operation, and maintenance changes to comply with the MACT rule and document change in operating record.


o

It is anticipated that 39 sources (among all HWC) will conduct PM CEMS correlation testing over the 3-year period of this ICR and request a waiver of PM and opacity standards during the testing. It is estimated that none of these sources will request an extension of the 96 hours allowed for the waiver.


p

Assumes no respondents will petition for an alternative monitoring location or emission standards.







q

Assumes 1 new respondent and 10% of existing respondents reporting annually will develop or revise the SSM plan and resubmit the plan for approval, and 10% of respondents would be required to submit excess emissions reports.


r

It is estimated that 50% of hazardous waste incinerators reporting annually have ESVs, and will develop an ESV operating plan. On average, each unit will have 3 ESV openings per year.


s

It is estimated that respondents will request approval for 50% of all sources for use of an alternative means to provide control of combustion system leaks (control through a positively sealed combustion chamber).

t

Assumes all units with fabric filters (about 34 sources) will have to purchase, install, and operate bag leak detection systems over the three year period of this ICR.

u

Assumes 1 new respondent will submit one-time D/F testing for units without a numerical D/F standard.






v

Assumes 20% of sources will request an extension of the comprehensive performance test and 10% of sources will request additional time for waiving OPLs for pretesting.

w

It is assumed that 60% of units with PCDD/PCDF limits would be required to test over the three-year period of this ICR.





x

It is estimated that 10% of all sources reporting annually will submit a request to use previous emissions test data to serve as documentation of compliance with emission standards.

y

Assumes 60% of respondents must conduct a comprehensive performance test every 3 years and 60% of respondents must conduct a confirmatory performance every 5 years. It is estimated that 10% of these sources would reschedule the test.


z

All facilities will submit a Notification of Compliance. It is estimated that 10% of facilities conducting the comprehensive performance test will apply for a waiver or time extension.

aa

It is estimated that 10% of all facilities will apply for and receive approval to use alternative monitoring requirements to document compliance with the emission standards of Subpart EEE other than CO or HC which are monitored with a CEMS. It is estimated that no facilities will make a request to use alternative operating parameters or methods to CEMS or CEMS in lieu of operating parameters.

bb

It is estimated that no existing sources will chose to use a CEMS for compliance monitoring and that 10% of sources will make a request to set feedrate limits with extrapolation.

cc

It is estimated that EPA will request additional relevant information for the site-specific CMS performance test plan from 10% of the sources performing the test.



dd

This requirement only applies to cement kilns without bag leak systems and PM detectors. It is estimated that all existing sources have these systems in place.



ee

Assumes one respondent will prepare a draft NIC, notify the public about a NIC meeting, conduct the NIC meeting, prepare a final NIC with meeting comments, submit the NIC to EPA, and complete the progress report for one new HWC.


ff

Assumes one respondent will submit initial notifications for a new HWC.










gg

We estimate that 25% of all facilities will submit a request for an adjustment to a time period or postmark deadline.

TOTAL ANNUAL BURDEN AND COST (ROUNDED)jj

 

 

 

 

 

 

8,420

$421,000


a

The total number of respondents estimated over the next three years is based on approximately 177 existing units at 153 facilities that are subject to the standard, with one new unit per year over the same period. The overall average number of respondents submitting reports in each year is calculated as one-third of the total respondents and is 60 respondents per year.



b

Labor cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $64.80 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $40.50 x 1.6), $48.08 for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $30.05 x 1.6) and $26.02 Clerical (GS-6, Step 3, $16.26 x 1.6). These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2017 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.



c

It is estimated that of the sources reporting annually with ESPs or IWSs, 90% will request to use operating parameter limits instead of continuous particulate detectors.


d

Assumes all HWCs have already developed and implemented feedstream analysis plans under current RCRA requirements (referred to as the waste analysis plan). There is no incremental burden for this requirement.



e

It is estimated that 10% of sources will submit a one-time request for a compliance extension due to the installation of controls, and that another 10% will submit a one-time request for a compliance extension for waste minimization purposes.



f

Assumes 20% of all facilities operating an HWC will apply for an extension each year.







g

It is estimated that 50% of the sources reporting annually will be making design, operation, and maintenance changes to comply with the MACT rule.


h

It is anticipated that 39 sources (among all HWC) will conduct PM CEMS correlation testing over the 3-year period of this ICR and request a waiver of PM and opacity standards during the testing.


i

Assumes 10% of respondents will submit a petition for an alternative particulate matter standard for liquid fuel boilers with low feedrates.



j

Assumes 1 new respondent and 10% of existing respondents reporting annually will develop or revise the SSM plan and resubmit the plan for approval.


k

Assumes 10% of respondents will submit AWFCO excessive exceedance reports.






l

It is estimated that 50% of hazardous waste incinerators reporting annually have ESVs, and will develop an ESV operating plan. On average, each unit will have 3 ESV openings per year.


m

It is estimated that respondents will request approval for 50% of all sources for use of an alternative means to provide control of combustion system leaks (control through a positively sealed combustion chamber).


n

It is estimated that 10% of all sources reporting annually will submit a request to use previous emissions test data to serve as documentation of compliance with emission standards.


o

Assumes 60% of respondents must conduct a comprehensive performance test every 3 years and 60% of respondents must conduct a confirmatory performance every 5 years.


p

All facilities will submit a Notification of Compliance. It is estimated that 10% of facilities conducting the comprehensive performance test will apply for a waiver or time extension.


q

It is estimated that 10% of all facilities will apply for and receive approval to use alternative monitoring requirements to document compliance with the emission standards of Subpart EEE other than CO or HC which are monitored with a CEMS. It is estimated that no facilities will make a request to use alternative operating parameters or methods to CEMS or CEMS in lieu of operating parameters.


r

It is estimated that no existing sources will chose to use a CEMS for compliance monitoring and that 10% of sources will make a request to set feedrate limits with extrapolation.


s

It is estimated that EPA will request additional relevant information for the site-specific CMS performance test plan from 10% of the sources performing the test.


t

As part of the comprehensive performance test, HWCs will submit a CMS quality control program, notification of performance evaluation and additional notification requirements; we estimate that 50% of sources have submitted a CMS quality control program at this time.


u

HWCs are also required to submit performance evaluation test plan, and conduct a CMS performance test. We estimate 60% of sources would submit test plans and conduct performance testing along with their comprehensive performance testing.


v

Assumes one respondent will prepare a draft NIC, notify the public about a NIC meeting, conduct the NIC meeting, prepare a final NIC with meeting comments, submit the NIC to EPA, and complete the progress report for one new HWC.


w

Assumes one respondent will submit initial notifications for a new HWC.






x

We estimate that 25% of all facilities will submit a request for an adjustment to a time period or postmark deadline.




y

It is estimated that 10% of facilities will submit a request to reduce frequency of excess emissions and continuous system performance reports from a quarterly (or more frequent basis).


z

It is estimated that 1% of all facilities reporting annually will submit a waiver of recordkeeping or reporting requirements.




aa

It is anticipated that 25% of facilities will take actions during a startup, shutdown, or malfunction that are consistent with the procedures specified in the facility's startup, shutdown, or malfunction plan. These facilities are required to submit a periodic startup, shutdown, and malfunction report. Another 10% of facilities will take actions that are not consistent with procedures specified in their plans. These facilities acquired to submit an immediate startup, shutdown, and malfunction report.


bb

It is anticipated that all facilities will submit an excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance report and summary report.


cc

It is estimated that 25% of facilities will submit a request for approval to use data compression techniques.



dd

Burden for performance evaluations is included in the notification of performance test and CMS performance evaluations.




ee

It is estimated that no source will submit requests to use an alternative CEMS span.





ff

It is estimated that 25% of facilities will request to comply with the alternative risk based chlorine standards.



gg

Assumes 5% of all respondents will document in the operating record compliance with alternative applicable Clean Air Act requirements and standards.


hh

Assumes one respondent will document the hazardous waste residence time in the operating record for a new HWC.




ii

Assumes 10% of respondents will update or develop the operator training and certification program each year.





jj

Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
