    Abstract: In order to effectively implement and enforce final 
changes to 40 CFR part 258 on a State level, owners/operators of 
municipal solid waste landfills have to comply with the final reporting 
and recordkeeping requirements. Respondents include owners or operators 
of new municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs), existing MSWLFs, and 
lateral expansions of existing MSWLFs. These owners or operators could 
include Federal, State, and local governments, and private waste 
management companies. Facilities in SIC codes 922, 495, 282, 281, and 
287 may be affected by this rule. 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. The Federal Register document required under 5 CFR 
1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this collection of information was 
published on June 10, 1999 (64 FR 31216); no comments were received.

burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 97 
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
