    Title: Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial Solid 
Waste Incineration Units (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1927.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0451.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the Emission Guidelines at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and 
any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 
60, subpart DDDD. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must 
submit an initial notification report, 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 are required 
semiannually at a minimum.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Commercial and industrial solid 
waste incineration units.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 90.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and 
annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,061. ``Burden'' is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,892,789, which includes $1,748,799 
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $1,143,990 in operation 
and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a change in the total estimated 
respondent and Agency burden and cost as currently identified in the 
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens due to several reasons: (1) The 
previous ICR included contractor labor costs associated with annual 
stack testing and continuous parameter monitoring as a respondent 
burden. Since the contractor labor costs apply solely to O&M 
activities, we have revised the ICR to reflect these as O&M costs, 
resulting in an apparent decrease in the total

[[Page 38315]]

respondent labor burden; (2) this ICR revises the number of respondents 
based on more recent information obtained from a 2011 Regulatory Impact 
Analysis (RIA) conducted by EPA. The previous ICR estimated 97 existing 
sources were subject to the standard; however, the RIA indicates there 
are approximately 90 existing sources. This ICR reflects the most 
recent information obtained from the 2011 RIA, and contributes to the 
apparent decrease in the respondent and Agency labor burdens; and (3) 
there is a slight increase in Agency burden costs from the most-
recently approved ICR due to the use of updated labor rates, because 
this ICR references labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to 
calculate respondent burden costs and references labor rates from OPM 
to calculate Agency burden costs.
