SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: NSPS for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills, 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart WWW. (OMB Control No. 2060-0220; EPA ICR Number 1557.05) 
expiring September 30, 2002. This is a request for extension of a 
currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste 
Landfills; 40 CFR part 60, subpart WWW, were 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, conduct and report on 
performance tests, report of 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.
    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 January 30, 
2002 at 67 FR 4421. No comments were received on the notice.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 11 
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 and/or operators of municipal 
solid waste landfills.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 175.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, Quarterly, and Annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3390 hours.
    Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: $107,000.
    Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the 
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods 
for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques to the previous addresses. Please refer 
to EPA ICR No.1557.05 and OMB Control No. 2060-0220 in any 
correspondence.
