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
[[Page 37509]]
prohibit the land disposal of hazardous waste unless it meets specified
treatment standards described in subsection 3004(m).
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: 77,612.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 517,369 hours per year. Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $87,510,974 (per year), which includes
$45,898,132 in annualized capital and operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: The total annual hour burden in this ICR
decreased by 82,701 hours from the currently approved ICR. This
decrease is due to a decrease in the number of respondents.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
