    Abstract: These regulations apply to MSW landfills for which 
construction, modification, or reconstruction commences on or after May 
30, 1991. A MSW landfill is an entire disposal facility in a contiguous 
geographical space where household waste is placed in or on. An MSW 
landfill may also receive other types of RCRA Subtitle D wastes (Sec.  
257.2 of this title) such as commercial solid waste, nonhazardous 
sludge, conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste, and 
industrial solid waste. Portions of an MSW landfill may be separated by 
access roads. An MSW landfill may be publicly or privately owned, and 
may be a new landfill, an existing landfill, or a lateral expansion. 
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR 
part 60, subpart WWW.
    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. Any owner/operator subject to 
the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these 
measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the 
date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of municipal 
solid waste landfills for which construction, modification, or 
reconstruction commences on or after May 30, 1991.

[[Page 10085]]

    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart WWW).
    Estimated number of respondents: 195 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 111,471 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,677,667 (per year), includes $764,400 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. The change resulted from incorporating comments 
received, addressing respondent activities that were not included in 
the previous ICR and increased the burden estimate for activities that 
were already included.
    There is also an increase in the total estimated Capital/Startup 
and O&M costs. This increase occurred as a result of incorporating 
comments received, which stated that the previous ICR did not include 
the purchase price and O&M costs of three additional devices that 
respondents are required to use.
