ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to
submit the information collection request (ICR), Identification of Non-
Hazardous Secondary Materials that are Solid Waste (Renewal) (EPA ICR
No. 2382.06, OMB Control No. 2050-0205) to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA). Before doing so, the EPA is soliciting public
comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as
described in Supplementary Information. This is a proposed extension of
the ICR, which is currently approved through March 31, 2023. An Agency

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
Holidays). The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744.
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: This ICR is a description of the information collection
requirements for combustion units that use non-hazardous secondary
materials (NHSM) that are solid wastes and combines and harmonizes
prior regulatory
[[Page 45316]]
amendments into one ICR. This ICR also includes the burden associated
with the 2016 amendments to the Final Rule (81 FR 6688, February 8,
2016), which added three materials to the list of categorical non-waste
fuels: (1) construction and demolition (C&D) wood processed from
construction and demolition debris according to best management
practices; (2) paper recycling residuals (PRRs) generated from the
recycling of recovered paper, paperboard and corrugated containers and
combusted by paper recycling mills whose boilers are designed to burn
solid fuel; and (3) creosote-treated railroad ties that are processed
and combusted in units designed to burn both biomass and fuel oil as
part of normal operations and not solely as part of start-up or shut-
down operations. Finally, this ICR includes the burden associated with
the 2018 amendments to the Final Rule (83 FR 5317, February 7, 2018),
which added three types of other treated railroad ties (OTRTs) to the
list of categorical non-waste fuels: (1) Creosote-borate treated
railroad ties, and mixtures of creosote, borate and copper naphthenate
treated railroad ties that are processed and combusted in units
designed to burn both biomass and fuel oil; (2) Copper naphthenate
treated railroad ties that are processed and then combusted in units
designed to burn biomass, biomass and fuel oil or biomass and coal; and
(3) Copper naphthenate-borate treated railroad ties that are processed
and then combusted in units designed to burn biomass, biomass and fuel
oil or biomass and coal.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are Business or other for-profit.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain benefit
(Sections 1004 and 2002 of RCRA).
Estimated number of respondents: 1,656.
Frequency of response: One-time.
Total estimated burden: 868 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $72,295 (per year), includes $1,539 in
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: The burden hours are likely to be lower than
the last renewal.
