Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE) apply to the following types of new and existing combustion units that burn hazardous waste: incinerators, cement kilns, lightweight aggregate kilns, solid fuel boilers, liquid fuel boilers, and hydrochloric acid production facilities. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 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: Owners and operators of hazardous waste combustors.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE).
Estimated number of respondents: 170 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and quarterly.
Total estimated burden: 59,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $9,690,000 (per year), which includes $2,770,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment decrease is due to an overall decrease in the number of respondents. This ICR updates the number of facilities and HWC units based on correspondence with EPA regions.
There is a decrease in O&M costs from the most-recently approved ICR due to the decreased number of respondents and a correction to the number of respondents incurring costs for COMs/opacity monitoring. The decrease is offset somewhat by a correction to the respondents incurring O&M costs for correlation testing. The number of new sources is expected to remain the same as estimated for the previous ICR; therefore, there are no changes to the capital costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
