Abstract: Under the authority of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, Congress directed the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency to implement a comprehensive program
for the safe management of hazardous waste. In addition, Congress wrote
that ``[a]ny person may petition the Administrator for the
promulgation, amendment or repeal of any regulation'' under RCRA
(section 7004(a)). 40 CFR parts 260 and 261 contain provisions that
allow regulated entities to apply for petitions, variances, exclusions,
and exemptions from various RCRA requirements.
The following are some examples of information required from
petitioners under 40 CFR part 260. Under Sec. 260.20(b), all
rulemaking petitioners must submit basic information with their
demonstrations, including name, address, and statement of interest in
the proposed action. Under Sec. 260.21, all petitioners for equivalent
testing or analytical methods must include specific information in
their petitions and demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that the proposed method is equal to, or superior to, the
corresponding method in terms of its sensitivity, accuracy, and
reproducibility. Under Sec. 260.22, petitions to amend part 261 to
exclude a waste produced at a particular facility (more simply, to
delist a waste) must meet extensive informational requirements. When a
petition is submitted, the Agency reviews materials, deliberates,
publishes its tentative decision in the Federal Register, and requests
public comment. The EPA also may hold informal public hearings (if
requested by an interested person or at the discretion of the
Administrator) to hear oral comments on its tentative decision. After
evaluating all comments, the EPA publishes its final decision in the
Federal Register.
With this renewal, this ICR will no longer include the burden
associated with the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) from
electric utilities as solid waste under Subtitle D of RCRA, found at 40
CFR part 257, subpart D. That burden is covered by OMB Control No.
2050-0223.
Form Numbers: 8700-12; 8700-13 A/B; 8700-23.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are the private sector, as well as State, Local, or Tribal
Governments.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a
benefit (RCRA Sections 1008, 4004, 4005(a)).
Estimated number of respondents: 59,418.
Frequency of response: Biennially.
Total estimated burden: 730,323 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $282,918 in annualized capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 79,059 hours and
$60,098 from the previously finalized/approved ICR. The reason for the
decrease is largely because the burden associated with the CCR program
was removed from this ICR and merged with OMB Control No. 2050-0223.

Director, Information Engagement Division.
