Abstract: Owners and operators of
affected facilities are required to comply
with reporting and record keeping
requirements for the general provisions
of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and 40 CFR
part 62, subpart A, as well as for the
specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60,
subpart Cc and 40 CFR part 62, subpart
GGG. This includes submitting an initial
notification reports, 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 any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These reports are used by
EPA to determine compliance with
these standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Existing municipal solid waste landfills.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc
and 40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG).
Estimated number of respondents:
465 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally and annually.
Total estimated burden: 38,900 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $3,080,000 (per
year), which includes $603,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
net decrease in the total burden
associated with privately and publicly
owned landfills and State and local
agencies. This decrease in burden from
the most recently approved ICR is due
to an adjustment to the estimated
average number of respondents. To
account for landfill closures that have
occurred since the previous ICR was
approved, this ICR applies a three
percent per year landfill closure rate to
the previous ICR’s estimated number of
respondents. This results in a decrease
in the respondent labor hours, labor
costs, O&M costs, and number of
responses. There is also a corresponding
decrease in the Agency burden and cost.

Division.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Subpart D of
CROMERR requires that state, tribal or
local government agencies that receive,
or wish to begin receiving, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and obtain EPA approval.
Subpart D provides standards for such
approvals based on consideration of the
electronic document receiving systems
that the state, tribe, or local government
will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b)
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D
provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow
electronic reporting, to be used at the
option of the state, tribe or local
government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart

D procedures must show that the state,
tribe or local government has sufficient
legal authority to implement the
electronic reporting components of the
programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable subpart D requirements.
On March 7, 2016, the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection
(PA DEP) submitted an application
titled Compliance Monitoring Data
Portal for revision to its EPA-approved
drinking water program under title 40
CFR to allow new electronic reporting.
EPA reviewed PA DEP’s request to
revise its EPA-authorized program and,
based on this review, EPA determined
that the application met the standards
for approval of authorized program
revision set out in 40 CFR part 3,
subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR
3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision
to approve Pennsylvania’s request to
revise its Part 142—National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations
Implementation program to allow
electronic reporting under 40 CFR part
141 is being published in the Federal
Register.
PA DEP was notified of EPA’s
determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized program
listed above.
In today’s notice, EPA is also
informing interested persons that they
may request a public hearing on EPA’s
action to approve the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania’s request to revise its
authorized public water system program
under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance
with 40 CFR 3.1000(f). Requests for a
hearing must be submitted to EPA
within 30 days of publication of today’s
Federal Register notice. Such requests
should include the following

number of the individual, organization
or other entity requesting a hearing;
(2) A brief statement of the requesting
person’s interest in EPA’s
determination, a brief explanation as to
why EPA should hold a hearing, and
any other information that the
requesting person wants EPA to

grant the request;
(3) The signature of the individual
making the request, or, if the request is
made on behalf of an organization or
other entity, the signature of a
responsible official of the organization
or other entity.
In the event a hearing is requested
and granted, EPA will provide notice of
the hearing in the Federal Register not
less than 15 days prior to the scheduled
hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial

requests for hearing may be denied by
EPA. Following such a public hearing,
EPA will review the record of the
hearing and issue an order either
affirming today’s determination or
rescinding such determination. If no
timely request for a hearing is received
and granted, EPA’s approval of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s
request to revise its part 142—National
Primary Drinking Water Regulations
