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 mega grams (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.
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.
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
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
