    Abstract: These emission guidelines apply to small municipal waste 
combustors (MWCs) constructed on or before August 30, 1999, that 
combust greater than 35 tons per day (tpd) but less than 250 tpd of 
municipal solid waste. The emission guidelines regulate organics 
(dioxin/furans), metals (cadmium, lead, mercury, and particulate 
matter), and acid gases (hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, and 
nitrogen oxides). The emission guidelines require initial reports, 
semiannual reports, and annual reports. Owners or operators also are 
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. Owners or operators subject to these regulations are 
required to maintain records of measurements and reports for at least 
five years.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Small municipal waste combustion 
units.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart BBBB).
    Estimated number of respondents: 23 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 102,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,200,000 (per year), includes $1,040,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
respondent

burden from the most recently approved ICR. The increase in respondent 
labor hour is caused by a change in assumption; in this ICR, we assume 
all existing sources will take some time each year to re-familiarize 
themselves with the rule requirements. There is also a small increase 
in the total O&M cost due to rounding of all calculated values to three 
significant digits.
