    Title: NESHAP for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1938.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0505.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 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: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfills were 
proposed on November 7, 2000, and promulgated on January 16, 2003. The 
affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP 
at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the 
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAA.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial 
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 
Owners or operators 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required 
semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 5 
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 municipal 
solid waste (MSW) landfills.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,124.
    Frequency of Response: Occasionally, annually, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,283.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,768,692, which includes $1,751,832 
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $16,860 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
total estimated burden hours and costs for both the respondents and the 
Agency as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The increase 
in burden hours and costs reflects both a growth in the respondent 
universe since the last ICR renewal, and an increase in labor rates. 
This ICR uses updated labor rates in estimating the costs for all labor 
categories.
