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. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of MSWLFs; State, Local, and Tribal governments. Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory, see 40 CFR part 258.29. Estimated number of respondents: 1,950 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 204,868 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b) Total estimated cost: $15,255,544 (per year), includes $2,210,853 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 60 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to the increased number of states adopting the Research, Development, and Demonstration section (Sec. 258.4) since the last renewal.
