    Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Existing Commercial and 
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart 
DDDD) fulfill the requirements of sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air 
Act (CAA), and affect the administrator of an air quality program in a 
state or United States protectorate with one or more existing 
commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) units. These 
regulations apply to sources commencing construction on or before June 
4, 2010 or to sources commencing modification or reconstruction between 
June 1, 2001 and August 7, 2013. The guidelines do not apply directly 
to CISWI unit owners and operators, since they are implemented through 
state implementation plans (SIP). If a state does not develop, adopt, 
and submit an approved state plan, or if a state's plan is not 
approved, the EPA must promulgate a Federal implementation plan to 
implement the emission guidelines in a state without its own SIP. This 
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 
60, subpart DDDD.
    In general, all emission guidelines standards require initial 
notification reports, performance tests, and periodic reports by the 
owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These 
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining 
compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the 
emission guidelines.
    Form Numbers: None.

    Respondents/affected entities: These regulations apply to 
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) units 
commencing construction either on or before June 4, 2010 or to sources 
commencing modification or reconstruction between June 1, 2001 and 
August 7, 2013.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart DDDD).
    Estimated number of respondents: 74 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 16,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $3,000,000 (per year), which includes 
$1,130,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the total 
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. The decrease in burden is due to a decrease in the 
number of existing respondents, as identified in an inventory conducted 
for the most recent amendments to the Emission Guidelines.
