Abstract: This ICR provides a discussion of all of the information
collection requirements associated with specific unit standards
applicable to owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or
dispose of hazardous wastes as defined by 40 CFR part 261. It includes
a detailed description of the data items and respondent activities
associated with each requirement and with each hazardous waste
management unit at a facility. The specific units and processes
included in this ICR are: Tank systems, Surface impoundments, Waste
piles, Land treatment, Landfills, Incinerators, Thermal treatment,
Chemical, physical, and biological treatment, Miscellaneous (subpart
X), Drip pads, Process vents, Equipment leaks, Containment buildings,
and Recovery/recycling.
With each information collection covered in this ICR, the EPA is
aiding the goal of complying with its statutory mandate under RCRA to
develop standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities, to protect human health and the environment. Without the
information collection, the agency cannot assure that the facilities
are designed and operated properly.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are private sector and State, Local, or Tribal governments.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 261, 264,
265, and 266).
Estimated number of respondents: 919.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 377,427 hours per year. Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $23,872,105 (per year), which includes
$1,733,951 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 21,122 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase is due to an increase of the Subpart AA
and BB units.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
