    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1381.09, OMB Control No. 2050-0122.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2010. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
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 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    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. The respondents, in complying 
with 40 CFR Part 258, are required to record information in the 
facility operating record, pursuant to Sec.  258.29, as it becomes 
available. The operating record must be supplied to the State as 
requested until the end of the post-closure care period of the MSWLF. 
The information collected will be used by the State Director to confirm 
owner or operator compliance with the regulations under Part 258. These 
owners or operators could include Federal, State, and local 
governments, and private waste management companies. Facilities in 
NAICS codes 9221, 5622, 3252, 3251 and 3253 may be affected by this 
rule.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 54 
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 which have subsequently changed; 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 or operators of municipal 
solid waste landfills, state agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,950.
    Frequency of Response: Annually, On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 204,748.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $12,892,203, includes $1,831,333 
annualized operation & maintenance and $379,520 annualized capital 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 240 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This is due to the increased number of states 
adopting the Research, Development, and Demonstration section since the 
last ICR update.
