    Title: Federal Emission Guidelines For Existing Municipal Solid 
Waste Landfills (Small) (40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG) (OMB Control 
Number 2060-0430, EPA ICR Number 1893.03). This is a request to renew 
an existing approved collection that is scheduled to expire on February 
28, 2003. Under the OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct 
or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is 
pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is charged 
under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to collect data. 
The information will be used by Agency enforcement personnel to (1) 
identify existing sources subject to these standards; (2) ensure that 
Best Demonstrated Technology is being properly applied; and (3) ensure 
that the emission control devise is being properly operated and 
maintained on a continuous basis. In addition, records and reports are 
necessary to enable the EPA to identify landfills that may not be in 
compliance with these standards. Based on reported information, the EPA 
can decide which landfills should be inspected and what records or 
processes should be inspected at the landfill. The records that 
landfills maintain would indicate to the EPA whether the personnel are 
operating and maintaining control equipment properly. The type of data 
required is principally emissions data and would not be confidential. 
If any information is submitted to the EPA for which a claim of 
confidentiality is made, the information would be safeguarded according 
to the Agency policies set forth in 40 CFR, chapter 1, part 2, subpart 
B.
    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 November 7, 
2002. No comments were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and record keeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 12 
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 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: 173.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 173.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,678.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $659,428 includes $242,000 for 
Operating and Maintenance costs.
    There is a decrease of 3,432 hours in the total estimated burden 
currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This 
decrease is due to recalculations, correction of high estimates of 
affected landfills, and no new respondents.

    Dated: February 21, 2003.
