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.
