Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
[[Page 16473]]
clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond,
including through the use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. The EPA will consider the comments received and amend the
ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB
for review and approval. At that time, the EPA will issue another
Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB
and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

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 Sec. 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 40 CFR part
258.
Form Numbers: None.

Total estimated cost: $2,211,000 (per year), includes $1,831,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is increase of 60 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by

the RD&D section (258.4) since the last ICR update.
