    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Other 
Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart EEEE) 
apply to very small municipal waste combustion units and institutional 
waste incineration units. A new incineration unit subject to this 
subpart should meet either one of two criteria: (1) Commenced 
construction after December 9, 2004; or (2) commenced reconstruction or 
modification either on or after June 16, 2006. A very small municipal 
waste combustion unit is any municipal waste combustion unit that has 
the capacity to combust less than 35 tons per day of municipal solid 
waste or refuse-derived fuel. An institutional waste incineration unit 
is any combustion unit that combusts institutional waste and is a 
distinct operating unit of the institutional facility that generated 
the waste. Institutional waste is solid waste that is combusted at any 
institutional facility using controlled flame combustion in an 
enclosed, distinct operating unit: Whose design does not provide for 
energy recovery; operated without energy recovery; or operated with 
only waste heat recovery. Institutional waste also means solid waste 
combusted on site in an air curtain incinerator that is a distinct 
operating unit of any institutional facility. In general, all NSPS 
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 with 40 CFR part 60, subpart EEEE.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: OSWI units, which include two 
subcategories: VSMWC units that combust less than 35 tons per day of 
waste and IWI units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60 
Subpart EEEE).
    Estimated number of respondents: 110 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 80,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,900,000 (per year), which includes 
$2,720,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase in the labor hours 
or cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The adjustment 
increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an 
increase in the number of new or modified sources anticipated to be 
subject to the standard over the three-year period. The adjustment 
increase in burden is due to more accurate estimates of anticipated new 
sources: Based on Agency review, knowledge, and experience with the 
NSPS program and source category, and the growth rate for the industry 
should account for conservative growth and minimal burden. The overall 
result is an increase in burden hours and costs.
