estimated to average 109 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Owners or operators of wood building
products surface coating operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
232.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
semiannually, on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
75,771.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$6,695,525, includes $0 capital/startup
costs, $278,000 annualized O&M costs
and $6,417,525 annualized labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 73,595 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. The increase in burden is due
to the actions taken by the facilities to
comply with 40 CFR part 63, subpart
QQQQ. The previous ICR included only
the burden incurred by facilities
initiating activities related to
compliance in advance of the
compliance date. The increase in
burden reflects the need for facilities to
fully comply with the rule
requirements. The increase in O&M
costs is due to maintenance of
equipment used to verify compliance
with the rule requirements.

operators of hospital, medical, or
infectious waste incinerators. Subpart
Ce was promulgated on September 15,
1997, and requires states or tribes to
develop plans to implement the
Emission Guidelines. If approvable state
or tribal plans were not developed, EPA
was required to develop a Federal plan
to implement the Emission Guidelines
in such states or tribes. The Federal
plan, subpart HHH was promulgated on
September 14, 2000.
Subparts Ce and HHH require initial
notifications, performance tests, and
annual and semi-annual reporting.
Owners or operators 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. Any owner or operator
subject to the provisions of this part
shall maintain a file of these
measurements, and retain the file for at
least five years following the date of
such measurements, maintenance
reports, and records. All reports are sent
to the state or tribal authority with an
approved plan. In the event that there is
no such approved plan, the reports are
sent directly to the EPA regional office.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 320 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Owners or operators of hospital,
medical, or infectious waste
incinerators.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
72.
Frequency of Response: Initially, on
occasion, semiannually and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
69,067.

Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$5,705,702 includes $0 annualized
capital startup costs, $130,000
annualized O&M costs and $5,575,702
annualized labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 36,161 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. The decrease in burden from
the most recently approved ICR is due
to an adjustment. The decrease in
burden from the most recently approved
ICR is due to a decrease in the number
of sources. Our estimate is based on a
facility and emissions index of Hospital/
Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerator
sources developed by the Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards. The
data in the index was collected directly
from industry and updated March 2006.
The previous estimate of 189
respondents was derived from
approximated state agency data. In
addition, the standard applies only to
facilities which commenced
construction on or before June 20, 1996.
Hence, the current estimate of 72
sources represents a source-by-source
count and takes into account those
sources which have shutdown.
Therefore, we have adjusted the number
of respondents from 189 to 72. The
decrease in Operations and
Maintenance cost from $295,407,000 to
$130,000 is primarily due a
typographical error in the last approval.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2006. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to

Abstract: Respondents subject to subparts Ce and HHH are owners or
[[Page 32082]]
operators of hospital, medical, or infectious waste incinerators.
Subpart Ce was promulgated on September 15, 1997, and requires states
or tribes to develop plans to implement the Emission Guidelines. If
approvable state or tribal plans were not developed, EPA was required
to develop a Federal plan to implement the Emission Guidelines in such
states or tribes. The Federal plan, subpart HHH was promulgated on
September 14, 2000.
Subparts Ce and HHH require initial notifications, performance
tests, and annual and semi-annual reporting. Owners or operators 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. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions
of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least five years following the date of such
measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to
the state or tribal authority with an approved plan. In the event that
there is no such approved plan, the reports are sent directly to the
EPA regional office.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 320
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of hospital,
medical, or infectious waste incinerators.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 72.
Frequency of Response: Initially, on occasion, semiannually and
annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 69,067.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $5,705,702 includes $0 annualized
capital startup costs, $130,000 annualized O&M costs and $5,575,702
annualized labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 36,161 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden from the most recently
approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The decrease in burden from the
most recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of
sources. Our estimate is based on a facility and emissions index of
Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerator sources developed by the
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards. The data in the index was
collected directly from industry and updated March 2006. The previous
estimate of 189 respondents was derived from approximated state agency
data. In addition, the standard applies only to facilities which
commenced construction on or before June 20, 1996. Hence, the current
estimate of 72 sources represents a source-by-source count and takes
into account those sources which have shutdown. Therefore, we have
adjusted the number of respondents from 189 to 72. The decrease in
Operations and Maintenance cost from $295,407,000 to $130,000 is
primarily due a typographical error in the last approval.
