All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that 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 and operators of other solid waste incineration units. Estimated Number of Respondents: 0. Frequency of Response: Initially, annually and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 0. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $0. Changes in the Estimates: There are no changes in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. At present, there are no OSWI units that are currently subject to the regulations, and it is estimated that no new units are expected to be constructed or operated over the next three years. It is assumed that potential respondents would use alternative methods of waste disposal that are more economical, e.g. landfills, rather than replacing existing OSWI units. No respondent or agency burdens or costs have been estimated and no annual burden is expected. Dated: January 5, 2009. John Moses, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.
