Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 173 / Friday, September 5, 2008 / Notices 51813 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1,190. 

Frequency of response: Quarterly. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

404,705 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$51,472,083, which included 

$26,309,080 in capital and O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 22,012 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This ICR incorporates the 

burden associated with all CAIRaffected sources, including those located 

in NOX SIP Call States. The NOX SIP 

Call ICR (OMB Control Number 2060–

0445) expires at the end of 2008. As 

such, starting in 2009, the burden 

associated with the NOX trading 

program requirements under the NOX

SIP Call are now covered in this ICR. 

Without incorporating those burdens 

and costs, the overall labor burden in 

this ICR would be less than the estimate 

in the prior version of this ICR.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1608.05, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0152. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on September 30, 2008. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, are displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

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, as amended by the Hazardous 

Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 

1984, requires states to develop and 

implement permit programs to ensure 

that municipal solid waste landfills 

(MSWLFs) and non-municipal, nonhazardous waste disposal units that 

receive household hazardous waste or 

conditionally exempt small quantity 

generator (CESQG) hazardous waste are 

in compliance with the revised criteria 

for the design and operation of nonmunicipal, non-hazardous waste 

disposal units under 40 CFR Part 257, 

Subpart B and MSWLFs under 40 CFR 

Part 258. (40 CFR Part 257, Subpart B 

and 40 CFR Part 258 are henceforth 

referred to as the ‘‘revised federal 

criteria’’.) 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 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

51814 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 173 / Friday, September 5, 2008 / Notices 

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 section 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 collection of 

information from the state during the 

permit program adequacy determination 

process allows EPA to evaluate whether 

a program for which approval is 

requested is appropriate in structure 

and authority to ensure owner or 

operator compliance with the revised 

federal criteria. 

The EPA Administrator has delegated 

the authority to make determinations of 

adequacy, as contained in the statute, to 

the EPA Regional Administrator. The 

appropriate EPA Regional Office, 

therefore, will use the information 

provided by each state to determine 

whether the state’s permit program 

satisfies the statutory test reflected in 

the requirements of 40 CFR Part 239. 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. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 242 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: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

12. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

968. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$51,545, which includes $51,545 for 

annualized labor and $0 for annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the estimated burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
