NSPS for Emission Guidelines
and Compliance Times for Small Municipal Waste Combustion Units
Constructed on or before August 30, 1999 (40 CFR part 60, subpart
BBBB) (Renewal)
Extension without change of a currently approved collection
The Emission Guidelines and Compliance
Times for Small Municipal Waste Combustion Units Constructed on or
Before August 30, 1999 were originally promulgated in December
1995, but were vacated by the Federal Court in March 1997.
Subsequently, the Emission Guidelines were re-proposed on August
30, 1999, and promulgated on December 6, 2000. The Emission
Guidelines regulate organics (dioxin/furans), metals (cadmium,
lead, mercury), particulate matter, and acid gases (hydrogen
chloride, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides) for small Municipal
Waste Combustion (MWC) units. Small MWC units are MWC units with
capacities to combust greater than 35 tons per day (tpd) and less
than 250 tons per day (tpd) of municipal solid waste. The Emission
Guidelines contain monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping
requirements that are to be included in state plans. This
Information Collection Request (ICR) identifies the burden for
States and U.S. territories to develop and implement State plans,
and the burden for small MWCs imposed by these State plans. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
Part 60, Subpart BBBB. In general, all Emission Guidelines 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 Emission Guidelines.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
