Abstract: Section 4010(c) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976 requires that EPA revise the landfill criteria promulgated under paragraph (1) of Section 4004(a) and Section 1008(a)(3). Section 4005(c) of RCRA, as amended by the Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, requires states to develop and implement permit programs to ensure that MSWLFs and non-municipal, nonhazardous waste disposal units that receive household hazardous waste or CESQG hazardous waste are in compliance with the revised criteria for the design and operation of nonmunicipal, non-hazardous waste disposal units under 40 CFR part 257, Subpart B and MSWLFs under 40 CFR part 258 (40 CFR part 257, subpart B and 40 CFR part 258 are henceforth referred to as the ‘‘revised federal criteria.’’). Section 4005(c) of RCRA further mandates the EPA Administrator to determine the adequacy of state permit programs to ensure owner and/ or operator compliance with the revised federal criteria. A state program that is deemed adequate to ensure compliance may afford flexibility to owners or operators in the approaches they use to meet federal requirements, significantly reducing the burden associated with compliance. In response to the statutory requirement in § 4005(c), EPA developed 40 CFR part 239, commonly referred to as the State Implementation Rule (SIR). The SIR describes the state application and EPA review procedures and defines the elements of an adequate state permit program. The collection of information from the state during the permit program adequacy determination process allows EPA to evaluate whether a program for which approval is requested is appropriate in structure and authority to ensure owner or operator compliance with the revised federal criteria. The EPA Administrator has delegated the authority to make determinations of adequacy, as contained in the statute, to the EPA Regional Administrator. The appropriate EPA Regional Office, therefore, will use the information provided by each state to determine whether the state’s permit program satisfies the statutory test reflected in the requirements of 40 CFR part 239. In all cases, the information will be analyzed to determine the adequacy of the state’s permit program for ensuring compliance with the federal revised criteria. VerDate Mar<15>2010 21:29 Feb 09, 2012 Jkt 226001 Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 242 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; 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: State, Local, or Tribal Governments. Estimated Number of Respondents: 12. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 968. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $53,835, which includes $53,835 for annual labor and $0 for annualized capital or O&M costs. All costs are labor costs, there are no capital/start-up or O&M costs associated with this ICR.

part 9.
    Abstract: Section 4010(c) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA) of 1976 requires that EPA revise the landfill criteria 
promulgated under paragraph (1) of Section 4004(a) and Section 
1008(a)(3). Section 4005(c) of RCRA, as amended by the Hazardous Solid 
Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, requires states to develop and 
implement permit programs to ensure that MSWLFs and non-municipal, non-
hazardous waste disposal units that receive household hazardous waste 
or CESQG hazardous waste are in compliance with the revised criteria 
for the design and operation of non-municipal, non-hazardous waste 
disposal units under 40 CFR part 257, Subpart B and MSWLFs under 40 CFR 
part 258 (40 CFR part 257, subpart B and 40 CFR part 258 are henceforth 
referred to as the ``revised federal criteria.''). Section 4005(c) of 
RCRA further mandates the EPA Administrator to determine the adequacy 
of state permit programs to ensure owner and/or operator compliance 
with the revised federal criteria. A state program that is deemed 
adequate to ensure compliance may afford flexibility to owners or 
operators in the approaches they use to meet federal requirements, 
significantly reducing the burden associated with compliance.
    In response to the statutory requirement in Sec.  4005(c), EPA 
developed 40 CFR part 239, commonly referred to as the State 
Implementation Rule (SIR). The SIR describes the state application and 
EPA review procedures and defines the elements of an adequate state 
permit program. The collection of information from the state during the 
permit program adequacy determination process allows EPA to evaluate 
whether a program for which approval is requested is appropriate in 
structure and authority to ensure owner or operator compliance with the 
revised federal criteria.
    The EPA Administrator has delegated the authority to make 
determinations of adequacy, as contained in the statute, to the EPA 
Regional Administrator. The appropriate EPA Regional Office, therefore, 
will use the information provided by each state to determine whether 
the state's permit program satisfies the statutory test reflected in 
the requirements of 40 CFR part 239. In all cases, the information will 
be analyzed to determine the adequacy of the state's permit program for 
ensuring compliance with the federal revised criteria.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 242 
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; 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: State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 12.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 968.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $53,835, which includes $53,835 for 
annual labor and $0 for annualized capital or O&M costs. All costs are 
labor costs, there are no capital/start-up or O&M costs associated with 
this ICR.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 
Burdens.
