Changes in the Estimates: There is an
adjustment increase in the total
estimated burden as currently identified
in the OMB Inventory of Approved
Burdens. This increase is not due to any
program changes. The adjustment
increase in burden hours from the most
recently approved ICR is due to an
increase in the number of sources
subject to the standard. The increase in
costs reflects updated labor rates for
both the respondents and Agency.
There is also an increase in the
capital/startup costs in this ICR
compared to the previous ICR due to an
increase in the number of affected
sources. The previous ICR estimates
annualized capital/startup costs for
existing and new facilities. This ICR
reflects the on-going annualized capital/
startup costs for all facilities including
new facilities that have become subject
to the standard in the past three years.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1773.10,
OMB Control No. 2050–0171.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on June 30, 2012. 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 respond to, a collection of
information, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The OMB control numbers for EPA’s
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
are displayed either by publication in
the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control
numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The affected entities are
subject to the General Provisions of the
National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) at
40 CFR part 63, Subpart A, and any
changes, or additions to the Provisions
specified at 40 CFR part 63, Subpart
EEE. Hazardous waste combustors
include: hazardous waste incinerators,
hazardous waste cement kilns,
hazardous waste lightweight aggregate
kilns, hazardous waste solid fuel
boilers, hazardous waste liquid fuel
boilers, and hazardous waste
hydrochloric acid production furnaces.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit a one-time-only
report of any physical or operational
changes, notification of exceedances,
notification of performance test and
continuous monitoring system
evaluation, notification of intent to
comply, notification of compliance,
notification if the owner or operator
elects to comply with alternative
requirements, initial performance tests,
and periodic reports and results.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 42 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;

information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Owners or operators of combustion
units burning hazardous waste, States.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
208.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally, semiannually, and
annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
142,447 Hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$19,665,792, includes $100,059 for
annualized capital cost and $3,951,790
for operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 57,450 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This burden decrease is due to
a decrease in the number of estimated
hazardous waste combustors affected by
this ICR since the last renewal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
with LSI engines.1 The LSI regulations
are designed to reduce emissions of
hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of
nitrogen (NOX) from forklifts and other
industrial equipment powered by LSI
engines. CARB approved the LSI
regulations at a public hearing on May
25, 2006 (by Resolution 06–11).2 After
making modifications to the regulation
available on December 1, 2006, and
February 1, 2007 for supplemental
public comment, CARB’s Executive
Officer formally adopted the LSI
regulations in Executive Order R–07–
001 on March 2, 2007.3 The LSI
regulations are codified at title 13,
California Code of Regulations, sections
2775 through 2775.2.4
Underpinning CARB’s LSI regulations
is a set of emission standards for new
off-road LSI engines beginning in 2007.
The emission standards include:
adoption of EPA’s 2007 and later model
year emission standards for the same
engines, more stringent standards for
the 2010 and later model years, optional
certification standards, and more
rigorous certification and test
procedures. The LSI regulations also
apply to operators of large- and
medium-sized fleets of forklifts,
sweepers/scrubbers, airport ground
support equipment (GSE), and
industrial tow tractors with engine
displacements of greater than one liter.
These fleets must meet a fleet average
in-use emission standard.

nonroad engines or vehicles. States are
also preempted from adopting and
enforcing standards and other
requirements related to the control of
emissions from non-new nonroad
engines or vehicles. Section 209(e)(2)
requires the Administrator, after notice
