    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (OSWRO 
apply to existing facilities and new facilities with organic hazardous 
air pollutant (HAP) emissions that are involved in waste management and 
recovery operations, and that are not subject to Federal air standards 
under other subparts in Part 63. In addition, Subpart DD cross-
references control requirements to be applied to specific types of 
affected sources: Tanks level-1; containers; surface impoundments; 
individual drain systems; oil-water separators; organic water 
separators; and loading, transfer, and storage systems. New facilities 
include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction 
after the date of proposal.
    This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 
CFR part 63, subpart DD. In general, all NESHAP 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 NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that are involved in 
waste management and recovery operations.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63).
    Estimated number of respondents: 50 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 47,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $6,420,000 (per year), which includes 
$892,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
burden in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The increase is based 
on an increase in the number of sources subject to the NESHAP. This 
also results in an increase in the operation and maintenance costs. 
This ICR also adjusts the capital and operation and maintenance costs 
for installing electronic indicators on PRDs on stationary sources per 
the rule amendments and final action on reconsideration (83 FR 3986, 
January 29, 2019).
