The emission guidelines address existing OSWI units that commenced construction before proposal of the emission guidelines (December 9, 2004). The emission guidelines do not apply directly to existing OSWI unit owners and operators.
The emission guidelines can be considered a model regulation that a State agency can use in developing plans to implement the emission guidelines. If a State does not develop, adopt, and submit an approvable State plan, the Federal government must develop a plan to implement the emission guidelines. This ICR includes the burden for an affected entity even if it is ultimately regulated under a State or Federal plan.
There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated labor burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This not due to any program changes. The increase occurred because we assume existing respondents will take some time to re-familiarize themselves with the rule each year. In addition, the cost estimate has been updated using more current labor rates.
