Abstract: In order to effectively implement and enforce final changes to 40 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 period 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. Facilities in NAICS codes 9221, 5622, 3252, 3251 and 3253 may be affected by this rule.
