[[Page 45749]] 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. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
