Title: Criteria for Classification of 

Solid Waste Disposal Facilities and 

Practices (Renewal). 

Abstract: In order to effectively 

implement and enforce final changes to 

40 CFR part 257, subpart B on a State 

level, owners/operators of construction 

and demolition waste landfills that 

receive conditionally exempt small 

quantity generator hazardous wastes 

will have to comply with the final 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements. An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The OMB control number for EPA’s 

regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 

and 48 CFR chapter 15. This continuing 

ICR documents the recordkeeping and 

reporting burdens associated with the 

location and ground-water monitoring 

provisions contained in 40 CFR part 

257, subpart B. 

The information consists of facility 

operating records about any Location 

Restrictions such as Floodplains or 

Wetlands as specified in Sections 

257.8–257.9. In some cases waste 

disposal units may demonstrate that 

there is no potential for migration of 

hazardous constituents from the unit. 

Where the facility is small, arid, or 

remote, it may use alternative 

techniques such as placing 

documentation in the operating record 

to show that it has met the criteria. 

In cases where there is no such 

exemption, affected facilities will 

establish Ground-Water Monitoring 

Systems, Detection Monitoring 

Programs, and Assessment of such 

programs. These requirements range 

from one-time recordkeeping and/or 

reporting to annual reporting. Where a 

facility believes that the Assessment has 

produced a False Positive, it may 

demonstrate that by means of annual 

reporting. Where needed, Corrective 

Actions include reports and operating 

records about Selection and 

Implementation of Remedies. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 74 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; 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: 

Construction and demolition waste 

landfill owners/operators and State 

Agencies. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

183. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

13,581 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,577,659, which includes $640,967 

annualized capital expense, $936,692 

O&M costs, and $471,724 Labor costs for 

Respondents and States. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

increase of 3,906 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to the 

increase in the number of new 

construction & demolition waste 

disposal facilities that has occurred 

since the last renewal during the period 

of time from December 1, 2002 until 

November 30, 2005.

Title: NSPS for Municipal Solid Waste 

Landfills (Renewal). 

Abstract: The New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) for 

municipal solid waste landfills, were 

proposed on May 30, 1991, and 

promulgated on March 12, 1996. These 

standards apply to municipal solid 

waste landfills for which construction, 

modification or reconstruction 

commences on or after May 30, 1991. 

The rule requires the installation of 

properly designed emission control 

equipment, and the proper operation 

and maintenance of this equipment. 

These standards rely on the capture and 

reduction of methane, carbon dioxide, 

and nonmethane organic gas compound 

emissions by combustion devices 

(boilers, internal combustion engines, or 

flares). Owners and operators of the 

affected facilities described must make 

initial reports when a source becomes 

subject to the standards, conduct and 

report on performance tests, report on 

annual or periodic emission rates, report 

on design plans, report on equipment 

removal and closure, as well as 

maintain records of the reports, system 

design and performance tests, 

monitoring and exceedances, plot map, 

and well locations. 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this part must maintain a 

file of the applicable reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements for at least 

five years following the collection of 

such measurements, maintenance 

reports, and records. All reports are sent 

to the delegated State or local authority. 

In the event that there is no such 

delegated authority, the reports are sent 

directly to the EPA regional office. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. The OMB Control 

Numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 

and are identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 17 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

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; 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 landfills. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

175. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

annually and initially. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

3,548 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$307,055 which includes $0 annualized 

Capital/Startup costs, $20,650 annual 

O&M costs, and $286,405 Respondent 

Labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 158 burden hours as 

compared with the active ICR. This 

70822 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices 

increase is due to calculation errors in 

previous reports. 

The active ICR has both capital/ 

startup costs and O&M costs. Because 

there are no new sources with reporting 

requirements, no capital/startup costs 

are incurred in this renewal. The only 

cost incurred is for the operation and 

maintenance of the monitors ($20,650), 

which has reduced the overall costs by 

$86,000.

Title: Toxic Chemical Release 

Reporting (Form R) (Renewal) 

Abstract: The Emergency Planning 

and Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA) section 313 requires owners 

and operators of certain facilities that 

manufacture, process, or otherwise use 

any of certain listed toxic chemicals and 

chemical categories in excess of 

applicable threshold quantities to report 

annually to the Environmental 

Protection Agency and to the states in 

which such facilities are located on 

their environmental releases and 

transfers of and other waste 

management activities for such 

chemicals. In addition, section 6607 of 

the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) 

requires facilities to provide information 

on the quantities of the toxic chemicals 

in waste streams and the efforts made to 

reduce or eliminate those quantities. 

Annual reporting under EPCRA 

section 313 of toxic chemical releases 

and other waste management 

information provides citizens with a 

useful picture of the total disposition of 

chemicals in their communities and 

helps focus industry’s attention on 

pollution prevention and source 

reduction opportunities. EPA believes 

that the public has a right to know about 

the disposition of chemicals within 

communities and the management of 

such chemicals by facilities in 

industries subject to EPCRA section 313 

reporting. This reporting has been 

successful in providing communities 

with important information regarding 

the disposition of toxic chemicals and 

other waste management information of 

toxic chemicals from manufacturing 

facilities in their areas. 

EPA collects, processes, and makes 

available to the public all of the 

information collected that is not subject 

to trade secrecy claims. The information 

gathered under these authorities is 

stored in a database maintained at EPA 

and is available through the Internet. 

This information, commonly known as 

the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), is 

used extensively by both EPA and the 

public sector. Program offices within 

EPA use TRI data, along with other 

sources of data, to establish priorities, 

evaluate potential exposure scenarios, 

and undertake regulatory and 

enforcement activities. Environmental 

and public interest groups use the data 

in studies and reports, making the
