    Title: NSPS for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2163.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0563.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2012. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An 
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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart EEEE.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial 
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 
Owners or operators 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required 
semiannually.
    All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In 
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are 
sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart EEEE, as 
authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required 
information consists of emissions data and other information that have 
been determined to be private.
    In order to ensure compliance with these standards, adequate 
reporting and recordkeeping are necessary. In the absence of such 
information, enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether 
the standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the 
Clean Air Act.
    An 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. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA's 
regulations are list in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average zero 
hour per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose and 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. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently 
changed; 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners and operators of other solid 
waste incineration units.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 0.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, annually and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 0.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $0.
    Changes in the Estimates: There are no changes in the total 
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. At present, there are no OSWI units subject to the 
regulations, and no new units are expected to be constructed or 
operated over the next three years. It is assumed that potential 
respondents would use alternative methods of waste disposal that are 
more economical, e.g. landfills, rather than replacing existing OSWI 
units. As a result, no respondent or agency burdens or costs have been 
estimated, and no annual is burden expected.
