The owners and operators of municipal solid waste landfills are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR Part 60,Subpart A), as well as for the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart XXX. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or for any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase in burden is due to changes in several areas. Due to the gap years between the previous ICR and this ICR, the number of respondents has been adjusted to reflect the expected number of landfills controlling between years 2022 through 2024 based on projected emissions, and assuming that in these years landfills will be controlling under the more stringent 34 Mg/yr requirements. This ICR also reflects the average annual respondents and burden for the rule activities following implementation. These adjustments have resulted in an increase in the total number of respondents due to sources modifying and becoming subject to the regulations. This ICR also reflects the implementation of the rule and adjustments to the number of sources conducting one-time activities versus recurring activities. The previous ICR included many new sources with associated testing and capital/startup costs. These costs have decreased in this ICR due to these sources having complied with their initial compliance requirements during the period of the previous ICR. In this ICR renewal, the increase in the number of existing sources has led to an increase in O&M costs. More existing sources are performing routine surface emission and wellhead monitoring, which is labor intensive. We have also adjusted the burden for sources to familiarize themselves with the rule, as most sources have been complying with rule requirements for the last few years. Although the rule has been amended since the previous ICR, these rule changes did not result in an increase in burden.
