Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2016 / Notices 24093 

Abstract: Owners and operators of 

affected facilities are required to comply 

with reporting and record keeping 

requirements for the general provisions 

of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and 40 CFR 

part 62, subpart A, as well as for the 

specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart Cc and 40 CFR part 62, subpart 

GGG. This includes submitting an initial 

notification reports, performance tests 

and periodic reports and results, and 

maintaining 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 reports are used by 

EPA to determine compliance with 

these standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Existing municipal solid waste landfills. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc 

and 40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

465 (total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally and annually. 

Total estimated burden: 38,900 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $3,080,000 (per 

year), which includes $603,000 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

net decrease in the total burden 

associated with privately and publicly 

owned landfills and State and local 

agencies. This decrease in burden from 

the most recently approved ICR is due 

to an adjustment to the estimated 

average number of respondents. To 

account for landfill closures that have 

occurred since the previous ICR was 

approved, this ICR applies a three 

percent per year landfill closure rate to 

the previous ICR’s estimated number of 

respondents. This results in a decrease 

in the respondent labor hours, labor 

costs, O&M costs, and number of 

responses. There is also a corresponding 

decrease in the Agency burden and cost.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On March 7, 2016, the Pennsylvania 

Department of Environmental Protection 

(PA DEP) submitted an application 

titled Compliance Monitoring Data 

Portal for revision to its EPA-approved 

drinking water program under title 40 

CFR to allow new electronic reporting. 

EPA reviewed PA DEP’s request to 

revise its EPA-authorized program and, 

based on this review, EPA determined 

that the application met the standards 

for approval of authorized program 

revision set out in 40 CFR part 3, 

subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 

3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision 

to approve Pennsylvania’s request to 

revise its Part 142—National Primary 

Drinking Water Regulations 

Implementation program to allow 

electronic reporting under 40 CFR part 

141 is being published in the Federal 

Register. 

PA DEP was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above. 

In today’s notice, EPA is also 

informing interested persons that they 

may request a public hearing on EPA’s 

action to approve the Commonwealth of 

Pennsylvania’s request to revise its 

authorized public water system program 

under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance 

with 40 CFR 3.1000(f). Requests for a 

hearing must be submitted to EPA 

within 30 days of publication of today’s 

Federal Register notice. Such requests 

should include the following 

information: 

(1) The name, address and telephone 

number of the individual, organization 

or other entity requesting a hearing; 

(2) A brief statement of the requesting 

person’s interest in EPA’s 

determination, a brief explanation as to 

why EPA should hold a hearing, and 

any other information that the 

requesting person wants EPA to 

consider when determining whether to 

grant the request; 

(3) The signature of the individual 

making the request, or, if the request is 

made on behalf of an organization or 

other entity, the signature of a 

responsible official of the organization 

or other entity. 

In the event a hearing is requested 

and granted, EPA will provide notice of 

the hearing in the Federal Register not 

less than 15 days prior to the scheduled 

hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial

requests for hearing may be denied by 

EPA. Following such a public hearing, 

EPA will review the record of the 

hearing and issue an order either 

affirming today’s determination or 

rescinding such determination. If no 

timely request for a hearing is received 

and granted, EPA’s approval of the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s 

request to revise its part 142—National 

Primary Drinking Water Regulations 

Implementation program to allow 

electronic reporting will become 

effective 30 days after today’s notice is 

published, pursuant to CROMERR
