Supporting documents, which explain 

in detail the information that the EPA 

will be collecting, are available in the 

public docket for this ICR. The docket

Abstract: Section 4010(c) of the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA) of 1976 requires that EPA 

revise the landfill criteria promulgated 

under paragraph (1) of Section 4004(a) 

and Section 1008(a)(3). Section 4005(c) 

of RCRA further mandates the EPA 

Administrator to determine the 

adequacy of state permit programs to 

ensure owner and/or operator 

compliance with the revised federal 

criteria. A state program that is deemed 

adequate to ensure compliance may 

afford flexibility to owners or operators 

in the approaches they use to meet 

federal requirements, significantly 

reducing the burden associated with 

compliance. In response to the statutory 

requirement in § 4005(c), EPA 

developed 40 CFR part 239, commonly 

referred to as the State Implementation 

Rule (SIR). The SIR describes the state 

application and EPA review procedures 

and defines the elements of an adequate 

state permit program. The SIR does not 

require the use of a particular 

application form. The EPA 

Administrator has delegated the 

authority to make determinations of 

adequacy, as contained in the statute, to 

the EPA Regional Administrator. In all 

cases, the information will be analyzed 

to determine the adequacy of the state’s 

permit program for ensuring compliance 

with the federal revised criteria. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under Section 4005(c) of 

RCRA. 

Estimated number of respondents: 12. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 993 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $41,674 (per 

year), which includes $41,674 for 

annual labor and $0 for annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 25 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to the 

extended total length in time for the 

RD&D permits (see 81 FR 28720) from 

12 years to 21 years. This permit time 

increase requires more cumulative 

review of technical goals and objectives 

required in each permit.
