Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXX) were promulgated August 29, 2016 (81 FR 59368) and amended on March 26, 2020 (85 FR 17261). These standards apply to municipal solid waste landfills that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after July 17, 2014 with a design capacity threshold of 2.5 million Mg and 2.5 million cubic meters. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart XXX. The Affected Public are municipal solid waste landfills operated by the public and private landfill owners. It is estimated that on average, 271 existing respondents (municipal solid waste landfills) per year will be subject to these regulations in the next three years based on a design capacity threshold of at least 2.5 million Mg and at least 2.5 million cubic meters. Approximately 2 new and 25 modified municipal solid waste landfills per year will also become subject to these same standards, for an overall total of 298 respondents per year.

Short Statement: The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of respondents. The increased number of respondents is based on the assumption that the growth rate will continue to be two new sources per year and 25 modified sources per year that will become subject to this rule. Similarly, there is an increase in the estimated capital and operation & maintenance costs due to the increased number of respondents.
