wastes managed during cleanup).
Hazardous remediation waste
management sites must comply with all
parts of 40 CFR part 264 except subparts
B, C, and D. In place of these
requirements, they need to comply with
performance standards based on the
general requirement goals in these
sections, which are codified at 40 CFR
264.1(j).
Under § 264.1(j), owners/operators of
remediation waste management sites
must develop and maintain procedures
to prevent accidents. These procedures
must address proper design,
construction, maintenance, and
operation of hazardous remediation
waste management units at the site. In
addition, owners/operators must
develop and maintain a contingency
and emergency plan to control accidents
that occur. The plan must explain
specifically how to treat, store, and
dispose of the hazardous remediation
waste in question, and must be
implemented immediately whenever
fire, explosion, or release of hazardous
waste or hazardous waste constituents
that could threaten human health or the
environment. In addition, the Remedial
Action Plan streamlines the permitting
process for remediation waste
management sites to allow cleanups to
take place more quickly.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Private
sector, as well as State, Local, or Tribal
governments.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (RCRA § 3004(u)).
Estimated number of respondents:
183.
Frequency of response: One-time.
Total estimated burden: 6,361 hours
per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $399,803 (per
year), which includes $350,307 in
annualized labor and $49,496 in
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 592 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to a decrease
in the number of hazardous remediation
waste management sites.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) apply to
MSW landfills for which construction,
modification, or reconstruction
commences either on or after May 30,
1991. A MSW landfill is an entire
disposal facility in a contiguous
geographical space where household
waste is placed in or on. An MSW
landfill may also receive other types of
RCRA Subtitle D wastes (§ 257.2 of this
title) such as commercial solid waste,
nonhazardous sludge, conditionally
exempt small quantity generator waste,
and industrial solid waste. Portions of
an MSW landfill may be separated by
access roads. An MSW landfill may be
publicly or privately owned, and may be
a new landfill, an existing landfill, or a
lateral expansion.
On August 29, 2016 (81 FR 59332),
EPA finalized a new NSPS subpart (40
CFR part 60, subpart XXX) based on its
review of subpart WWW. Concurrently,
EPA finalized revised Emissions
Guidelines under a new subpart (40 CFR
part 60, subpart Cf). The new Emission
Guidelines apply to existing landfills
accepting waste after 1987 for which
construction was commenced either on
or before July 17, 2014. Subpart XXX
applies to MSW landfills that are new,
reconstructed, or modified after July 17,
2014. The requirements in Subpart
WWW mimic most of the requirements
in these new rules, except for that the
control threshold in new rules require
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
controls at additional landfills beyond
what Subpart WWW requires.
In general, all NSPS standards require
initial notifications, performance tests,
and periodic reports by the owners/
operators of the affected facilities. They
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. These
notifications, reports, and records are
essential in determining compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart WWW.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
Landfills.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart
WWW).
Estimated number of respondents:
661 (total).
Frequency of response: Annually.
Total estimated burden: 760 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $86,600 (per
year); there are no annualized capital/
startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease in the burden hours and the
Capital/O&M costs in this ICR compared
to the previous ICR. The change in
burden and cost estimates occurred as a
result of the 2016 NSPS (40 CFR part 60,
subpart XXX) and Emissions Guidelines
(40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf). Most of the
burden previously attributed to the ICR
for subpart WWW has been accounted
for in the 2016 ICRs for both subparts
XXX (ICR 2498.03, OMB 2060–0697)
and Cf (ICR 2522.02, OMB 2060–0720)
to avoid duplication of burden for
identical requirements. There is an
increase in number of responses
compared to the previous ICR. While
this ICR does not duplicate responses
for the 2016 ICRs, each respondent was
counted as a respondent that does not
report but maintains records under
subpart WWW and this resulted in an
increase number of responses.
