SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Materials can also be viewed at the Reading Room
located at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West Building, Room 3334, 1301

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;
[[Page 36487]]
(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: Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),
as amended, Congress directed EPA to implement a comprehensive program
for the safe management of hazardous waste. The core of the national
waste management program is the regulation of hazardous waste from
generation to transport to treatment and eventual disposal, or from
``cradle to grave.'' Section 3001(d) of RCRA requires EPA to develop
standards for small quantity generators. Section 3002 of RCRA states,
among other things, that EPA shall establish requirements for hazardous
waste generators regarding recordkeeping practices. Section 3002 also
requires EPA to establish standards on appropriate use of containers by
generators. Finally, Section 3017 of RCRA specifies requirements for
individuals exporting hazardous waste from the United States, including
a notification of the intent to export, and an annual report
summarizing the types, quantities, frequency, and ultimate destination
of all exported hazardous waste.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Private business or other for-
profit.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR parts 262 and
265).
Estimated number of respondents: 644,345.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 526,989 hours per year. Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $31,367,417 per year, which includes $63,345
in annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay
substantially the same.
Dated: June 3, 2022.

Director, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery.
