Section 4010(c) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revise the landfill criteria promulgated under paragraph (1) of Section 4004(a) and Section 1008(a)(3). Section 4005(c) of RCRA, as amended by the Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA), requires states to develop and implement permit programs to ensure that non-municipal, non-hazardous waste disposal units that receive household hazardous waste or conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) hazardous waste and municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) are in compliance with the revised criteria for the design and operation of non-municipal, non-hazardous waste disposal units under 40 CFR part 257, subpart B and MSWLFs under 40 CFR part 258. Section 4005(c) of RCRA further mandates the EPA Administrator to determine the adequacy of state permit programs to ensure owner/operator compliance with the revised federal criteria. A state program that is deemed adequate to ensure compliance may afford flexibility to owners/operators in the approaches they use to meet federal requirements, significantly reducing the burden associated with compliance. In response to the statutory requirement in §4005(c), EPA developed 40 CFR part 239, commonly referred to as the State Implementation Rule (SIR). The SIR describes the state request and EPA review procedures and defines the elements of an adequate state permit program.

There is no actual burden change. The addition of 25 hrs. shown in the burden table for this ICR (EPA ICR # 1608.10) represents a correction to an omission in the previous ICR's electronic submission (EPA ICR # 1608.09). That previous ICR did, however, correctly describe 993 hours of average annual burden in its Federal Register Notice and Supporting Statement.
