264, 265, 266 and 270. This ICR describes the paperwork requirements 
that apply to the owners and operators of BIFs. This includes the 
requirements under the comparable/syngas fuel specification at 40 CFR 
261.38; the general facility requirements at 40 CFR parts 264 and 265, 
subparts B thru H; the requirements applicable to BIF units at 40 CFR 
part 266; and the RCRA Part B permit application and modification 
requirements at 40 CFR part 270.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (per 40 CFR 264, 265, 
and 270).
    Estimated number of respondents: 114.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 291,757 hours per year. Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $39,476,994 (per year), includes $9,839,942 
annualized capital $11,164,608 operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 52,972 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is due to an increase in universe size.
