Abstract: The NESHAP for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart AAAA) apply to existing and new municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills that have accepted waste since November 8, 1987 or have additional capacity for waste deposition, including those that operate as bioreactors, and the landfill either: 1) is a major source or is collocated with a major source; or 2) is an area source with a design capacity of 2.5 million mega grams (Mg) and 2.5 million cubic meters (m3), and emits either equal to or greater than 50 tons per year of non-methane organic compounds (NMOC). New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain 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 notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart AAAA.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a decrease in the number of responses and Capital/O&M costs in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The change in burden and cost estimates occurred as a result of the 2016 NSPS (40 CFR part 60, subpart XXX) and Emissions Guidelines (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf). Most of the burden previously attributed to the ICR for subpart AAAA has been accounted for in the 2016 ICRs for subparts XXX (ICR 2498.03, OMB 2060-0697) and Cf (ICR 2522.02, OMB 2060-0720) to avoid duplication of burden for identical requirements. Additionally, the number of responses unique to the subpart AAAA ICR has decreased as a result of improved estimates of the number of landfills subject to control requirements based on data used to support the 2016 ICRs. There is an increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. There is an increase in the number of labor hours. This is to be consistent with per line item burden assumptions and number of sources subject to certain requirements related ICRs for subparts XXX (ICR 2498.03, OMB 2060-0697) and Cf (ICR 2522.02, OMB 2060-0720), including an increase in the number of new or modified sources. Additionally, labor hours were added to correct for an error which had previously missed the recordkeeping requirements for liquids addition.
