This
is
a
currently
approved
collection
that
has
been
assigned
EPA
tracking
number

Short
Characterization/
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.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
60
Subpart
WWW.

Owners
and
operators
of
the
affected
facilities
must
make
initial
reports
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
this
standard:
(
1)
to
conduct
and
report
on
performance
tests,
(
2)
report
of
annual
or
periodic
emission
rates,
(
3)
report
on
design
plans,
(
4)
report
on
equipment
removal
and
closure,
(
5)
maintain
records
of
the
reports,
system
design
and
performance
tests,
monitoring
and
exceedances,
plot
map,
and
well
locations.
The
record
keeping
and
reporting
requirements
specific
to
municipal
solid
waste
landfills
are
detailed
in
section
4(
b)
"
Information
Collected"
of
this
supporting
statement.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
2
Part
60,
Subpart
WWW.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
the
applicable
reporting
and
record
keeping
requirements
for
at
least
5
years
following
the
collection
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
Approximately
175
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard,
which
includes
sources
that
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
3
years.
The
cost
of
this
ICR
will
be
$
107,000.

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.

2.
Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
TERMS
OF
CLEARANCE:
The
agency
has
updated
estimates
of
wages,
as
appropriate,
to
reflect
overhead
in
a
manner
consistent
with
guidance.
Furthermore,
the
agency
should
clarify
the
method
by
which
the
estimate
of
the
number
of
sources
has
been
updated.

2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
EPA
is
charged
under
section
111
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
Act),
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect:

...
application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emission
reduction
which
(
taking
into
consideration
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emission
reduction,
any
non­
air
quality
health
and
environmental
impact
and
energy
requirements)
the
Administrator
determines
has
been
adequately
demonstrated
[
section
111(
a)(
1)].

EPA
refers
to
this
charge
as
selecting
the
best
demonstrated
technology
(
BDT).
Section
111
also
requires
that
the
Administrator
review
and,
if
appropriate,
revise
such
standards
every
4
years.

In
addition,
Section
114(
a)
states
that:
3
.
.
.
the
Administrator
may
require
any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
any
requirement
of
this
Act
to
(
A)
establish
and
maintain
such
records,
(
B)
make
such
reports,
(
C)
install,
use,
and
maintain
such
monitoring
equipment
or
methods
(
in
accordance
with
such
methods
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe),
and
(
D)

sample
such
emissions,
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical,
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications,
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
may
reasonably
required.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
methane,
carbon
dioxide,
and
nonmethane
organic
gas
compound
emissions
from
municipal
solid
waste
landfills
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
60
Subpart
WWW.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
operation
of
municipal
solid
waste
landfills
causes
the
emission
of
methane,
carbon
dioxide,
and
nonmethane
organic
gas
compound
emissions.
The
control
of
emissions
of
methane,

carbon
dioxide,
and
nonmethane
organic
gas
compound
emissions
from
municipal
solid
waste
landfills
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
proper
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
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).

The
required
notifications
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
4
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated
and
the
standard
is
being
met.

Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
record
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
record
keeping,
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
affected
by
the
NSPS
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
and
achieve
compliance
with
the
regulation.

Adequate
monitoring,
record
keeping,
and
reporting
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
these
standards,
as
required
by
the
Act.
The
information
collected
from
record
keeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
3(
a)
Nonduplication
The
record
keeping
and
reporting
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
WWW.
If
the
standard
has
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
to
the
appropriate
EPA
Regional
Office.

Otherwise,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
State
or
local
agency.
If
a
State
or
local
agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
regulation
to
implement
the
federal
regulation,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
State
or
local
agency
can
be
sent
to
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
federal
standard.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
January
30,
2002
(
67
FR
4421).

3(
c)
Consultations
5
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.
The
number
of
landfills
subject
to
the
rule
was
based
on
EPA's
Office
of
Solid
Waste
data
on
the
number
and
size
distribution
of
existing
landfills
and
projections
of
the
annual
number
of
landfills
that
would
close
and
be
replaced
by
new
landfills.
The
data
and
analyses
are
described
in
the
following
three
documents:

Federal
Register

the
final

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
required
standards.
Requirements
for
information
gathering
and
record
keeping
are
useful
techniques
to
ensure
that
good
operation
and
maintenance
practices
are
applied
and
emission
limitations
are
met.
If
the
information
required
by
these
standards
was
collected
less
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
Following
notification
of
startup,
the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
note
the
operating
conditions
(
temperature
or
specific
flow
requirement)
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
AIRS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards.
AIRS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,

maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
over
100,000
industrial

Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
3
years
from
these
record
keeping
and

requirements
is
estimated
at
3,390
person­
hours.
These
numbers
were
derived
from
estimates
based
on
modeling
analyses
performed
to
estimate
the
nationwide

105,300.
This
is
based
on
13
new
sources
per
year
multiplied
by
$
8,100
per
monitor,
using
a
7%
annual
interest
rate
and
a
3­
year
service
life
(
the
capital
recovery
rate
is
.381).
The
total
respondent
costs
have
been
calculated
on
the
addition
of
the
capital
start
up
costs
and
the
annual
operations
and
maintenance
costs
of
$
1,530
per
year.
The
average
annual
burden
for
capital
and
operations
and
maintenance
costs
to
industry
over
the
next
3
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
106,830.

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
federal
costs
are
user
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.

Publication
and
distribution
of
the
information
are
part
of
the
AIRS
program.
Examination
of
records
to
be
maintained
by
the
respondents
will
occur
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources,
which
is
part
of
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program.

The
average
annual
federal
government
cost
during
the
3
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
29,411
(
from
Table
2).
This
cost
is
based
on
an
average
wage
of
a
GS­
10
step
1
employee
rate
and
travel
associated
with
compliance
activities.

The
total
annual
labor

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
There
is
a
change
in
burden
of
an
additional
three
respondents
anticipated
from
the
last
ICR
approval.
The
universe
of
respondents
affected
by
the
rule
is
not
expected
to
change
significantly
in
the
projected
3
year
effective
period
of
this
ICR.

6(

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

of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
