(ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR describes the nature 
of the information collection and its expected cost and burden.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before May 24, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Office of Air and Radiation

    Title: New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) For Sewage Treatment 
Plant Incineration (subpart O) (EPA No. 1063.06, OMB No. 2060-0035).
    Abstract: This ICR is for an extension of an existing information 
collection in support of NSPS requirements as established by the Clean 
Air Act (the Act), under the general NSPS requirements at 40 CFR 60.7-
60.8 and the more specific requirements at 40 CFR 61.7 and 40 CFR 
61.153-61.155. Owners or operators of facilities subject to the NSPS 
must demonstrate compliance by fulfilling specific monitoring, 
reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. The information collected 
will be used by EPA and State agencies for monitoring, inspection, and 
enforcement purposes.
    Owners or operators of new plants must: (1) Notify EPA of the 
facility's construction and reconstruction, (2) provide EPA with the 
anticipated and actual start-up dates of the facility, (3) submit 
results of the initial performance test and the date of the test to 
EPA, and (4) notify EPA of the continuous monitoring system 
demonstration.
    Owners and operators of all subject facilities must: (1) Notify EPA 
of any relevant physical or operational changes. Owners and operators 
must semiannually submit a report that includes: (1) The periods of 15 
minutes or more during which the pressure of the wet scrubbing device 
fell below a specified level, (2) the average oxygen content in the 
incinerator exhaust gas for each period of 1 hour or more than it 
exceeds a specified level, and (3) periods of excess emission.
    Owners and operators of all subject facilities must: (1) 
Continuously monitor and record the pressure drop, (2) monitor the 
amount of oxygen in the incinerator exhaust gases upstream of the 
emission control device, (3) maintain records of the occurrences and 
duration of startups, shutdowns and malfunctions, (4) maintain files on 
all measurements including performance test, (5) record mass or volume 
data from measuring device, and (6) record daily charging rates.
    In addition, owners and operators of incinerators with particulate 
emissions exceeding 0.38 grams/kilogram dry sludge input must: (1) 
Continuously monitor and record the temperature profile of the 
incinerator and sludge feed rate to the incinerator, (2) measure and 
record the fuel consumed for each 8-hour period of incinerator 
operation, (3) record the moisture and volatile content of sludge being 
incinerated daily, (4) record the average scrubber pressure drop, and 
(5) record the average oxygen content of the incinerator exhaust over 
each one hour period. This information must be included in their 
semiannual report.
    Owners or operators of facilities with control devices other than 
wet scrubbers must seek EPA approval by submitting a plan for 
monitoring and recording incinerator and control device operation 
parameters and report semiannually on the measurements as described in 
the approved plan.
    An estimated average of 77 facilities will be subject to the 
regulations with an average growth of 3 facilities per year over the 
next three years. The data collected by the monitoring and 
recordkeeping systems would be retained at the facility for a minimum 
of 2 years.
    Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 53 hours per response, including 
time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, 
gathering and maintaining data, and completing and reviewing the 
collections of information. Public burden is estimated to average 8200 
hours annually.
    Respondents: Sewage treatment plant incinerators.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 77
    Estimated Number of Responses Per Respondent: 2
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 8200
    Frequency of Collection: Semiannually for reporting requirements. 
Daily recordkeeping requirements.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of 
this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden, (please refer to EPA ICR #1063.06 and OMB #2060-0035) to:
