docket for this ICR. The docket can be

Abstract: The affected entities are
subject to the General Provisions of the
NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart AAAA. Owners or operators of
affected facilities must submit initial
notification, performance tests, and
periodic reports and results. Owners or
operators are also required to maintain
records of the occurrence and duration
of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are
required semiannually.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Owners or operators of municipal solid
waste landfills.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
AAAA).
Estimated number of respondents:
1,127 (total).
Frequency of response: Occasionally
and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 20,900 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,120,000 (per
year), includes $16,900 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase in the total estimated burden as
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This
increase is due to an increase in the
number of new sources due to industry
growth; it is not due to any program
changes. In addition, we have adjusted
the respondent burden calculation to
assume all respondents will refamiliarize themselves with the
regulatory requirements each year.

There is also an increase in the total
O&M cost associated with this ICR.
Similar to the total estimated burden,
EPA has adjusted the total O&M cost to
account for industry growth that has
occurred since the previous ICR.
