    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the 
general provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and 40 CFR part 62, 
subpart A, as well as for the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart Cc and 40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG. This includes submitting an 
initial notification reports, performance tests and periodic reports 
and results, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with 
these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Existing municipal solid waste 
landfills.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart Cc and 40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG).
    Estimated number of respondents: 465 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 38,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $3,080,000 (per year), which includes 
$603,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a net decrease in the total 
burden associated with privately and publicly owned landfills and State 
and local agencies. This decrease in burden from the most recently 
approved ICR is due to an adjustment to the estimated average number of 
respondents. To account for landfill closures that have occurred since 
the previous ICR was approved, this ICR applies a three percent per 
year landfill closure rate to the previous ICR's estimated number of 
respondents. This results in a decrease in the respondent labor hours, 
labor costs, O&M costs, and number of responses. There is also a 
corresponding decrease in the Agency burden and cost.

Acting-Director, Collection Strategies Division.
