The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC) were proposed on November 30, 1999, promulgated on December 01, 2000, and most-recently amended on: February 7, 2013; June 23, 2016; and April 16, 2019. The 2013 amendment re-established emission limits and expanded the rule to cover these CISWI subcategories: energy recovery units; waste burning kilns; incinerators; and small, remote incinerators. The 2016 amendment finalized reconsiderations to certain aspects to the 2013 amendment and finalized actions on the following four topics: the definition of continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) data during startup and shutdown periods; the particulate matter (PM) limit for the waste-burning kiln subcategory; the fuel variability factor (FVF) for coal-burning energy recovery units (ERUs); and the definition of kiln. The 2019 amendments further clarified implementation of the 2016 standards, including certain testing and monitoring issues and inconsistencies, and editorial corrections and errors within the rules that required clarification or correction. These regulations apply to Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) units that either commenced construction after June 4, 2010, or commenced reconstruction or modification after August 7, 2013. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC.
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.
The increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of new or modified sources, rather than any program changes. A more accurate count of sources was gathered from the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database, which more accurately represents the current industry landscape. Additionally, capital/startup and O&M costs will also increase due to the increase in number of sources. Capital/startup and O&M costs have been adjusted from 2010$ to 2020$ using the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI). There is an increase in costs, which is 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.
