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 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.
Abstract: Section 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), as amended, requires that EPA develop standards for
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal as may be necessary to
protect human health and the environment. Subsections 3004(d), (e), and
(g) require EPA to promulgate regulations that prohibit the land
disposal of hazardous waste unless it meets specified treatment
standards described in subsection 3004(m).
[[Page 62526]]
The regulations implementing these requirements are codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) title 40, part 268. EPA requires that
facilities maintain the data outlined in this ICR so that the Agency
can ensure that land disposed waste meets the treatment standards. EPA
strongly believes that the recordkeeping requirements are necessary for
the agency to fulfill its congressional mandate to protect human health
and the environment.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Private sector and State, Local, or
Tribal governments.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 268).
Estimated number of respondents: 79,096.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 600,097 hours per year. Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $95,703,440 (per year), which includes
$49,372,275 in annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs and
$46,331,165 in annualized labor costs.
Changes in estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay
substantially the same.
Dated: November 4, 2021.

Director, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery.
