Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing, Glass Manufacturing, and Secondary Nonferrous Metals Processing Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subparts RRRRRR, SSSSSS, and TTTTTT) were proposed on September 20, 2007; and promulgated on December 26, 2007. These regulations apply to the following existing and new facilities: (1) clay ceramics manufacturing facilities that process more than 50 tons per year of wet clay and are area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP); (2) glass manufacturing facilities that use continuous furnaces to produce glass that contains HAP as raw materials and are area sources of HAP; and (3) secondary nonferrous metals processing facilities that are area sources of HAP. Clay ceramics manufacturing facilities include facilities that manufacture pressed tile, sanitaryware, dinnerware, or pottery with an atomized glaze spray booth or kiln that fires glazed ceramic ware. Glass manufacturing facilities include facilities that manufacture flat glass, glass containers, or pressed and blown glass by melting a mixture of raw materials, to produce molten glass and form the molten glass into sheets, containers, or other shapes. Secondary nonferrous metals processing facilities means brass and bronze ingot making, secondary magnesium processing, or secondary zinc processing plants that use furnace melting operations to melt post-consumer nonferrous metal scrap to make products including bars, ingots, blocks, or metal powders. New facilities VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:26 Dec 27, 2022 Jkt 259001 include those that commenced either construction, or modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subparts RRRRRR, SSSSSS, and TTTTTT. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Area sources of clay ceramics manufacturing, glass manufacturing, and secondary nonferrous metals processing. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subparts RRRRRR, SSSSSS, and TTTTTT). Estimated number of respondents: 87 (total). Frequency of response: Initially. Total estimated burden: 1,970 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $250,000 (per year), which includes $13,900 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The adjustment increase is due to an increase in the number of respondents, including one new respondent expected during the threeyear period of this ICR. There is an increase in cost due to the increased number of respondents and due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the most-recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (September 2021) to calculate respondent burden costs. The new source is not expected to incur capital costs; therefore, there is no change in the capital/startup costs from the most-recently approved ICR. There is an increase in O&M costs due to the use of updated labor rates associated with inspections of emission control systems for glass manufacturing facilities. This ICR uses the technical labor rate from the most-recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (September 2021) to calculate respondent burden costs associated with inspection of emission control systems.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ec) were proposed on February 27, 1995, promulgated on September 15, 1997, and amended on October 6, 2009, April 4, 2011, and May 12, 2013. The original standards applied to either owners or operators of Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI) for which construction commenced after June 20, 1996, or for which modification commenced after March 16, 1998, but no later than April 6, 2010. Sources subject to the original standards are now covered under the revised Emission Guidelines for HMIWI at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce. This information request covers the reporting and recordkeeping requirements associated with the revised NSPS, which apply to new facilities only. New facilities include those that commenced construction after December 1, 2008 or commenced modification after April 6, 2010. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ec. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:26 Dec 27, 2022 Jkt 259001 Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ec). Estimated number of respondents: 3 (total). Frequency of response: Semiannual, annual. Total estimated burden: 1,780 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $370,000 (per year), includes $157,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR. The decrease in burden is due to an adjustment due to more accurate estimates of existing and anticipated new sources. This ICR adjusts the number of facilities subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ec and reflects a decrease in the number of respondents with HMIWI units from ten to three. This adjustment is based on the EPA’s updated inventory of affected sources which reflects consolidation within the industry. This ICR also updates the capital and operation and maintenance costs to 2021 dollars using the 2021 annual Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index.

being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ec.
    In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications,

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

all affected facilities subject to NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.

annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall decrease in burden
