Title: Emission Guidelines and
Compliance Times for Municipal Solid
Waste Landfills (Renewal).
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on January 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
and 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: This ICR is a renewal of
current data collection and reporting
requirements for Municipal Solid Waste
Landfills subject to 40 CFR part 60,
subpart Cc emission guidelines. The
subpart Cc guidelines are implemented
through either State plans or the Federal
plan (40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG) that
EPA developed for landfills located in
States and Indian country that did not

develop a State or Tribal plan. State
plans were due to EPA by December 12,
1996 and the Federal plan was
promulgated on November 8, 1999. The
data collection is a mandatory
requirement (Clean Air Act section
114(a)(1)).
The information generated by the
monitoring, recordkeeping, and
reporting requirements described in this
ICR is used by the Agency to ensure that
facilities affected by the emission
guidelines continue to operate the
control equipment and achieve
compliance with the regulation. The
emission guidelines require affected
facilities to maintain all records,
including the submitted reports and
notifications for at least 5 years.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 15 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:
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
559.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
46,146.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$3,956,321, which includes labor costs
of $3,229,721 and operation and
maintenance costs of $726,600.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 33,690 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase reflects the
recordkeeping and reporting burden for
entities under State plans and the
Federal plan. The original ICR included
only the burden for municipal solid
waste landfills subject to the Federal
plan for municipal solid waste landfills.
This ICR renewal adds the burden
imposed by State plans to the burden
imposed by the Federal plan.

Clean Air Act Operating Permit
Program; Petition for Objection to
State Operating Permit for East
Kentucky Power Cooperative, Inc.—
William C. Dale Power Station; Clark
County, KY
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of final order on petition
to object to a State operating permit.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Clean Air Act
(CAA) Section 505(b)(2) and 40 CFR
70.8(d), the EPA Administrator signed
an Order, dated December 14, 2009,
denying a petition to object to a title V
operating permit issued by the Kentucky
Division for Air Quality (KDAQ) to East
Kentucky Power Cooperative, Inc.
(EKPC) for its William C. Dale Power
Station (Dale Station) located in Clark
County, Kentucky. This Order
constitutes a final action on the petition
submitted by Sierra Club and Kentucky
Environmental Foundation (Petitioners)
on November 24, 2008. Pursuant to
sections 307(b) and 505(b)(2) of the
CAA, a petition for judicial review of
the Order may be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit within 60 days from
the date this notice appears in the
Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the Order, the
petition, and all pertinent information
relating thereto are on file at the
following location: EPA Region 4, Air,
Pesticides and Toxics Management
Division, 61 Forsyth Street, SW.,
Atlanta, Georgia 30303–8960. The Order
is also available electronically at the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Art
Hofmeister, Air Permits Section, EPA
Region 4, at (404) 562–9115 or
hofmeister.art@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA
affords EPA a 45-day period to review
and, as appropriate, the authority to
object to operating permits proposed by
State permitting authorities under title
V of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7661–7661f.

Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA and 40
CFR 70.8(d) authorize any person to
petition the EPA Administrator to object
to a title V operating permit within 60
days after the expiration of EPA’s 45day review period if EPA has not
objected on its own initiative. Petitions
must be based only on objections to the
permit that were raised with reasonable
specificity during the public comment
period provided by the State, unless the
petitioner demonstrates that it was
impracticable to raise these issues
during the comment period or the
grounds for the issues arose after this
period.
Petitioners submitted a petition
regarding the EKPC Dale Station on
November 24, 2008, requesting that EPA
object to the title V operating permit
(#V–08–009). Petitioners alleged that the
permit was not consistent with the CAA
for the following reasons: (1) The
maximum heat input rates in the permit
must be enforceable limits because,
presumably, there exists a State
operating permit for Dale Station that
includes maximum heat inputs and,
because without such maximum heat
input limits, compliance with the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
for SO2 cannot be assured; and, (2)
KDAQ cannot delete the three-hour
averaging time from the particulate
matter (PM) emission limit for certain
coal handling equipment because the
emission limit must have an averaging
time; therefore, the three-hour averaging
time should be placed back into the
permit, and the permit should be
required to include monitoring and
reporting adequate to assure compliance
with the PM limit.
On December 14, 2009, the
Administrator issued an Order denying
the petition. The Order explains EPA’s
rationale for denying the petition with
respect to the issues raised.
Dated: December 18, 2009.

Title: Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Municipal Solid
Waste Landfills (Renewal).
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 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 and 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: This ICR is a renewal of current data collection and
reporting requirements for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills subject to
40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc emission guidelines. The subpart Cc
guidelines are implemented through either State plans or the Federal
plan (40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG) that EPA developed for landfills
located in States and Indian country that did not
[[Page 145]]
develop a State or Tribal plan. State plans were due to EPA by December
12, 1996 and the Federal plan was promulgated on November 8, 1999. The
data collection is a mandatory requirement (Clean Air Act section
114(a)(1)).
The information generated by the monitoring, recordkeeping, and
reporting requirements described in this ICR is used by the Agency to
ensure that facilities affected by the emission guidelines continue to
operate the control equipment and achieve compliance with the
regulation. The emission guidelines require affected facilities to
maintain all records, including the submitted reports and notifications
for at least 5 years.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 15
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: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 559.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 46,146.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $3,956,321, which includes labor costs
of $3,229,721 and operation and maintenance costs of $726,600.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 33,690 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase reflects the recordkeeping and
reporting burden for entities under State plans and the Federal plan.
The original ICR included only the burden for municipal solid waste
landfills subject to the Federal plan for municipal solid waste
landfills. This ICR renewal adds the burden imposed by State plans to
the burden imposed by the Federal plan.
Dated: December 24, 2009.
