Abstract: Owners and operators of
affected facilities are required to comply
with reporting and recordkeeping
requirements for the General Provisions
(40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as
for the applicable standards at 40 CFR
part 60, subpart UU. This includes
submitting initial notifications,
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:
Asphalt processing and roofing
manufacture facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart
UU).
Estimated number of respondents:
144 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and
semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 34,100 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $9,240,000 (per
year), which includes $5,240,000 in
annualized capital and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This is due to two
considerations. First, the regulations
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
have not changed over the past three
years and are not anticipated to change
over the next three years. Second, the
growth rate for this industry is very low
or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden.
Since there are no changes in the
regulatory requirements and there is no
significant industry growth, there are
also no changes in the capital/startup or
operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.

Abstract: Owners and operators of
municipal solid waste landfills are
required to comply with reporting and
record keeping requirements for the
General Provisions (40 CFR part 60,
subpart A) and the applicable standards
in 40 CFR part 60 subpart Cf. This

startup, shutdown, or malfunction in
the operation of an affected facility, or

system is inoperative. These reports are

with these standards.
Form Numbers: None.

November 8, 1987 and commenced

either construction, reconstruction, or
modification on or before July 17, 2014.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60 subpart Cf).
Estimated number of respondents:
1,912 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
annually.
Total estimated burden: 634,000
hours (per year) for both privatelyowned and publicly-owned municipal
solid waste landfills, with an additional
2,100 hours for State and local agencies
administering this rule. Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $45,600,000 (per
year) for both privately-owned and
publicly-owned municipal solid waste
landfills, which includes $2,760,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs. This
overall sum also includes $135,000 (per
year) for State and local agenciescontrolled landfills.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
adjustment decrease in the total
estimated burden as currently identified
in the OMB Inventory of Approved
Burdens. The decrease in burden is due
to changes in several areas. The number
of respondents has been adjusted to
reflects the lower expected number of
landfills controlling between years 2022
through 2024 based on projected
emissions, as well as the number of
landfills subject between years 2022 and
2024, based on waste disposal quantities
which increase over time at active
landfills, and assuming that in these
years landfills will be controlling under
the more stringent 34 Mg/yr
requirements. The estimates also
subtract out landfills expected to modify
during this time period and become
subject to the MSW landfill NSPS
instead (OMB Control Number 2060–
0697). This ICR therefore reflects an
increase in the total number of
respondents subject to the rule, but a
smaller number of controlling landfills
subject to monitoring and testing
requirements.
This ICR also reflects that some
landfills subject to EPA approved state
plans implementing Subpart Cf have
completed their initial implementation
activities to comply with the rule.
Therefore, capital/startup costs (new
equipment and testing) have decreased.
O&M costs have also decreased from the
previous ICR due to a decrease in the
number of landfills required to control
emissions and perform monitoring.
The labor burden has also decreased
in this ICR as most landfills have
completed their initial compliance
requirements, such as testing,
submitting design capacity reports,
submitting collection and control

system design plans. Additionally, this
ICR adjusts the burden to remove
requirements for certain sources (e.g.,
legacy controllers) that would have
submitted certain one-time reports
under other MSW Landfill regulations,
and are not required to resubmit reports
under Subpart Cf. This ICR also adjusts
the burden for landfills to familiarize
themselves with the new rule
requirements to reflect the initial
burden for reviewing the Federal plan or
State plans, as they are implemented,
and a lower recurring burden for refamiliarizing with the rule requirements
after the first year.
This ICR also adjusts the number of
respondents subject to the requirements
of subpart Cf which are implemented
under State plans and a Federal plan to
incorporate the burden associated with
the Federal plan. The Federal plan is
currently pending but expected to be
finalized at 40 CFR part 62, subpart
OOO. As of August 18, 2020, EPA data
indicates that 8 State and local agencies
enforce the State plans and two other
state agencies are expected to have their
plans effective by 2022. The remainder
of these landfills will be covered by a
federal plan once it becomes effective.

Abstract: Owners and operators of municipal solid waste landfills
are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements
for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A) and the
applicable standards in 40 CFR part 60 subpart Cf. This includes
submitting initial notifications, 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 (MSW)
landfills that have accepted waste since November 8, 1987 and commenced
[[Page 1963]]
either construction, reconstruction, or modification on or before July
17, 2014.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60
subpart Cf).
Estimated number of respondents: 1,912 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, annually.
Total estimated burden: 634,000 hours (per year) for both
privately-owned and publicly-owned municipal solid waste landfills,
with an additional 2,100 hours for State and local agencies
administering this rule. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $45,600,000 (per year) for both privately-
owned and publicly-owned municipal solid waste landfills, which
includes $2,760,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation &
maintenance costs. This overall sum also includes $135,000 (per year)
for State and local agencies-controlled landfills.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. The decrease in burden is due to changes in several
areas. The number of respondents has been adjusted to reflects the
lower expected number of landfills controlling between years 2022
through 2024 based on projected emissions, as well as the number of
landfills subject between years 2022 and 2024, based on waste disposal
quantities which increase over time at active landfills, and assuming
that in these years landfills will be controlling under the more
stringent 34 Mg/yr requirements. The estimates also subtract out
landfills expected to modify during this time period and become subject
to the MSW landfill NSPS instead (OMB Control Number 2060-0697). This
ICR therefore reflects an increase in the total number of respondents
subject to the rule, but a smaller number of controlling landfills
subject to monitoring and testing requirements.
This ICR also reflects that some landfills subject to EPA approved
state plans implementing Subpart Cf have completed their initial
implementation activities to comply with the rule. Therefore, capital/
startup costs (new equipment and testing) have decreased. O&M costs
have also decreased from the previous ICR due to a decrease in the
number of landfills required to control emissions and perform
monitoring.
The labor burden has also decreased in this ICR as most landfills
have completed their initial compliance requirements, such as testing,
submitting design capacity reports, submitting collection and control
system design plans. Additionally, this ICR adjusts the burden to
remove requirements for certain sources (e.g., legacy controllers) that
would have submitted certain one-time reports under other MSW Landfill
regulations, and are not required to resubmit reports under Subpart Cf.
This ICR also adjusts the burden for landfills to familiarize
themselves with the new rule requirements to reflect the initial burden
for reviewing the Federal plan or State plans, as they are implemented,
and a lower recurring burden for re-familiarizing with the rule
requirements after the first year.
This ICR also adjusts the number of respondents subject to the
requirements of subpart Cf which are implemented under State plans and
a Federal plan to incorporate the burden associated with the Federal
plan. The Federal plan is currently pending but expected to be
finalized at 40 CFR part 62, subpart OOO. As of August 18, 2020, EPA
data indicates that 8 State and local agencies enforce the State plans
and two other state agencies are expected to have their plans effective
by 2022. The remainder of these landfills will be covered by a federal
