    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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Recordkeeping and Reporting--Solid 
Waste Disposal Facilities and Practices.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: 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.
    Estimated number of respondents: 10,211.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 197,965 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $15,238,668 (per year), includes $2,210,853 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the total 
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
ICR Burdens. This is due to the revised method of burden calculation, 
not any program changes or modifications to the underlying burden level 
assumptions. Previously, the burdens were grouped together and given a 
weighted average. On this ICR, each category of burdens was seperated 
and evaluated as to the specific task. The task specific burden 
calculations are a reflection of actual hours spent on each task.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
