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
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20004. The Docket Center's hours
of operations are 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday (except Federal

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: Under the authority of sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010
of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, EPA
revised the RCRA hazardous waste permitting program to allow a
``standardized permit.'' The standardized permit is available to
facilities that generate hazardous waste and routinely manage the waste
on-site in non-thermal units such as tanks, containers, and containment
buildings. In addition, the standardized permit is available to
facilities that receive hazardous waste generated off-site by a
generator under the same ownership as the receiving facility, and then
store or non-thermally treat the hazardous waste in containers, tanks,
or containment buildings. The RCRA standardized permit consists of two
components: a uniform portion that is included in all cases, and a
supplemental portion that the Director of a regulatory agency includes
at his or her discretion. The uniform portion consists of terms and
conditions, relevant to the unit(s) at the permitted facility, and is
established on a national basis. The Director, at his or her
discretion, may also issue a supplemental portion on a case-by-case
basis. The supplemental portion imposes site-specific permit terms and
conditions that the Director determines necessary to institute
corrective action under section 264.101 (or state equivalent), or
otherwise necessary to protect human health and the environment. Owners
and operators have to comply with the terms and conditions in the
supplemental portion, in addition to those in the uniform portion.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are business or other for-profit.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary (40 CFR 270.275).
Estimated number of respondents: 1.
Frequency of response: One time.
Total estimated burden: 218 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $11,612 (per year), includes $525 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay
substantially the same.
Dated: July 11, 2022.
Carolyn Hoskinson,
Director, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery.
