Abstract: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
requires EPA to establish a national regulatory program to ensure that
hazardous wastes are managed in a manner protective of human health and
the environment. Under this program, EPA regulates newly generated
hazardous wastes, as well as hazardous remediation wastes (i.e.,
hazardous wastes managed during cleanup). Hazardous remediation waste
management sites must comply with all parts of 40 CFR part 264 except
subparts B, C, and D. In place of these requirements, they need to
comply with performance standards based on the general requirement
goals in these sections, which are codified at 40 CFR 264.1(j).
Under Sec. 264.1(j), owners/operators of remediation waste
management sites must develop and maintain procedures to prevent
accidents. These procedures must address proper design, construction,
maintenance, and operation of hazardous remediation waste management
units at the site. In addition, owners/operators must develop and
maintain a contingency and emergency plan to control accidents that
occur. The plan must explain specifically how to treat, store, and
dispose of the hazardous remediation waste in question, and must be
implemented immediately whenever fire, explosion, or release of
hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents that could threaten
human health or the environment. In addition, the Remedial Action Plan
streamlines the permitting process for remediation waste management
sites to allow cleanups to take place more quickly.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are the private sector, as well as State, Local, or Tribal
governments.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA Sec. 3004(u)).
Estimated number of respondents: 170.
Frequency of response: One-time.
Total estimated burden: 5,114 hours per year. Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $348,088 (per year), which includes $53,693
in annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 1,247 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to an adjustment in Agency
calculations.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
