Abstract: The NESHAP for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAA) apply to existing and new municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills that have accepted waste since November 8, 1987 or have additional capacity for waste deposition, including those that operate as bioreactors, and the landfill either: (1) Is a major source or is collocated with a major source; or (2) is an area source with a design capacity of 2.5 million megagrams (Mg) and 2.5 million cubic meters (m3), and emits either equal to or greater than 50 tons per year of non-methane organic compounds (NMOC). New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAA. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Certain existing and new municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills that have accepted waste since November 8, 1987 or have additional capacity for waste deposition. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, subpart AAAA). Estimated number of respondents: 1,151 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually, and annually. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:23 Mar 15, 2019 Jkt 247001 Total estimated burden: 35,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $3,170,000 (per year), which includes $10,800 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the number of responses and 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 AAAA has been accounted for in the 2016 ICRs for subparts XXX (ICR 2498.03, OMB 2060–0697) and Cf (ICR 2522.02, OMB 2060–0720) to avoid duplication of burden for identical requirements. Additionally, the number of responses unique to the subpart AAAA ICR has decreased as a result of improved estimates of the number of landfills subject to control requirements based on data used to support the 2016 ICRs. There is an increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. There is an increase in the number of labor hours. This is to be consistent with per line item burden assumptions and number of sources subject to certain requirements related ICRs for subparts XXX (ICR 2498.03, OMB 2060–0697) and Cf (ICR 2522.02, OMB 2060–0720), including an increase in the number of new or modified sources. Additionally, labor hours were added to correct for an error which had previously missed the recordkeeping requirements for liquids addition. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act, EPA granted partial waivers that allow gasoline containing greater than 10 volume percent ethanol and up to 15 volume percent ethanol (E15) to be introduced into commerce for use in model year 2001 and newer light-duty motor vehicles, subject to certain conditions. EPA issued a final rule establishing several measures to deter the use of E15 in ineligible vehicles and equipment (misfueling). The rule (1) prohibits the use of gasoline containing more than 10 volume percent ethanol in vehicles and equipment that are not covered by the partial waiver decisions, (2) requires all E15 dispensers to have a specific label indicating eligible vehicles, (3) requires E15 and related product transfer documents to contain certain information, and (4) requires ethanol producers, gasoline refiners, blenders, and related parties to conduct a survey of retail stations to monitor compliance with these requirements and submit periodic reports. In addition, to comply with conditions in the partial waivers, each survey party must implement a misfueling mitigation plan. This ICR covers the associated recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Ethanol producers and importers, gasoline refiners, importers, terminals, distributors, retailers, and wholesale purchaser-consumers. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 80). Estimated number of respondents: 2,604 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion, quarterly, annually.

Total estimated cost: $1,841,445 (per year), includes $128,125 in annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in estimates: There is an increase of 1,500 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to an adjustment to an hourly estimate and the addition of some burdens not addressed in the current ICR. Dated: March 12, 2019. Byron J.

    Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act, EPA granted partial waivers that 
allow gasoline containing greater than 10 volume percent ethanol and up 
to 15 volume percent ethanol (E15) to be introduced into commerce for 
use in model year 2001 and newer light-duty motor vehicles, subject to 
certain conditions. EPA issued a final rule establishing several 
measures to deter the use of E15 in ineligible vehicles and equipment 
(misfueling). The rule (1) prohibits the use of gasoline containing 
more than 10 volume percent ethanol in vehicles and equipment that are 
not covered by the partial waiver decisions, (2) requires all E15 
dispensers to have a specific label indicating eligible vehicles, (3) 
requires E15 and related product transfer documents to contain certain 
information, and (4) requires ethanol producers, gasoline refiners, 
blenders, and related parties to conduct a survey of retail stations to 
monitor compliance with these requirements and submit periodic reports. 
In addition, to comply with conditions in the partial waivers, each 
survey party must implement a misfueling mitigation plan. This ICR 
covers the associated recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 80).
    Estimated number of respondents: 2,604 (total).
