Title: NSPS for Emission Guidelines
and Compliance Times for Small
Municipal Waste Combustion Units
Constructed on or Before August 30,
1999 (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1901.05, OMB Control Number 2060–
0424.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2012. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may
continue to either conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this
submission is pending at OMB.
Abstract
These emission guidelines apply to
small municipal waste combustors
(MWCs) constructed on or before
August 30, 1999, that combust greater
than 35 tons per day (tpd) but less than
250 tpd of municipal solid waste. The
emission guidelines regulate organics
(dioxin/furans), metals (cadmium, lead,
mercury, and particulate matter), and
acid gases (hydrogen chloride, sulfur
dioxide, and nitrogen oxides). The
emission guidelines require initial
reports, semiannual reports, and annual
reports. Owners or operators also are
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. Owners or
operators subject to these regulations are
required to maintain records of
measurements and reports for at least
five years. Reports are also required
semiannually.
Burden Statement
The annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
of information is estimated to average
1,709 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 small municipal
waste combustors.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
23.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally, semiannually, and
annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
100,854.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$10,802,579, which includes $9,765,779
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs,
and $1,036,800 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the industry labor hours in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR.
This is due to two considerations: (1)
The regulations have not changed over
the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next
three years; and (2) the Emission
Guidelines only affect existing sources,
so there is no significant change in the
overall burden. However, there is an
adjustment increase in the total industry
and Agency labor costs as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not
due to any program changes. The
change in cost estimates reflects
updated labors rates available from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Burden Statement
The annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 34
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 synthetic fiber
production facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
22.
Frequency of Response: Occasionally,
quarterly and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,860.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$345,058, which includes $180,058 in
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and
$165,000 in operation and maintenance
(O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the respondent burden hours
in this ICR compared to the previous
ICR. This is due to two considerations:
(1) The regulations have not changed
over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next
three years; and (2) the growth rate for
the industry is very low, negative or
non-existent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden. However,
there is an increase of one burden hour
for the Agency due a correction of
rounding error in the previous ICR.
There is an increase in burden costs
for both the respondents and the Agency
due to an adjustment in labor rates. This
ICR uses updated labor rates from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate
burden costs.

[FRL–9754–4]
Notice of Decision Regarding
Requests for a Waiver of the
Renewable Fuel Standard
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Governors of several
States requested that EPA waive the
national volume requirements for the
renewable fuel standard program (RFS
or RFS program), pursuant to section
211(o)(7) of the Clean Air Act (the Act),
based on the effects of the drought on
feedstocks used to produce renewable
fuel in 2012–2013. Several other parties
submitted similar requests. Based on a
thorough review of the record in this
case, EPA finds that the evidence and
information does not support a
determination that implementation of
the RFS program during the 2012–2013
time period would severely harm the
economy of a State, a region, or the
United States. EPA is therefore denying
the requests for a waiver.
DATES: Petitions for review must be filed
by January 28, 2013.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2012–0632. All

docket are listed on the

at OMB.
Abstract
The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the
NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart HHH.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial
notification report, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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. Reports are also
required semiannually.
Burden Statement
The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average 34 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 synthetic
fiber production facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 22.
Frequency of Response: Occasionally, quarterly and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,860.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $345,058, which includes $180,058 in
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $165,000 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the respondent
burden hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to
two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden. However, there is an increase of one burden hour for the Agency
due a correction of rounding error in the previous ICR.
There is an increase in burden costs for both the respondents and
the Agency due to an adjustment in labor rates. This ICR uses updated
labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden
costs.
