Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response

    Title: Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements for Compliance with 
the 40 CFR Part 258 solid Waste Disposal Facility Criteria (EPA No. 
1381.04). This ICR is a renewal of an approved collection (OMB No. 
2050-0122).
    Abstract: This ICR details the information collection activities 
associated with the revised solid waste disposal facility criteria 
promulgated on October 9, 1991, as provided in 40 CFR Part 258. The 
revised criteria establish minimum federal standards for owners and 
operators of municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) to ensure that 
such facilities are designed and operated in a manner that is 
protective of human health and the environment, as well as 
recordkeeping and notification requirements for MSWLF owners and 
operators to ensure compliance with the revised criteria.
    Specifically, MSWLF owners/operators must record and maintain in an 
operating record, and make available to the States upon request: 
Location restriction demonstrations; inspection records, training and 
notification procedures; gas monitoring results and remediation plans; 
unit design documentation for leachate and gas condensate 
recirculation; monitoring, testing or analytical data; closure/post-
closure care plans; and cost estimates and financial assurance 
documentation.
    Notification requirements for MSWLF owners/operators include 
notifying the State when: A regulated hazardous waste or PCB waste is 
discovered at the facility; methane gas concentrations exceed specified 
limits; and when ground-water contamination is detected.
    The information collected will be used to regulate and insure that 
MSWLFs are complying with the Part 258 Criteria. The program is 
administered by the States and all information is submitted to the 
States. State burden consists of MSWLF notifications, MSWLFs 
demonstrations review, and requirements certification. EPA has 
enforcement authority in States where EPA has made a determination that 
the State is not approved and may request information from the MSWLFs 
owner or operator.
    Burden Statement: The public reporting burden for this collection 
of information is estimated to average 109 hours per response and 
includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing 
information sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and 
completing and reviewing the collection of information. [[Page 7962]]
