In order to effectively implement and
enforce final changes to CFR part 258 on a State level,
owners/operators of municipal solid waste landfills have to comply
with the final reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
Respondents include owners or operators of new municipal solid
waste landfills (MSWLFs), existing MSWLFs, and lateral expansions
of existing MSWLFs. The respondents, in complying with 40 CFR part
258, are required to record information in the facility operating
record, pursuant to ??258.29, as it becomes available. The
operating record must be supplied to the State as requested until
the end of the post-closure care peroid of the MSWLF. The
information collected will be used by the State Director to confirm
owner or operator compliance with the regulations under part 258.
These owners or operators could include Federal, State, and local
governments, and private waste management companies.
There is an increase of 60
hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This is due to the increased
number of states adopting the Research, Development, and
Demonstration section (258.4) since the last ICR update.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
