SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a proposed extension of the ICR,
which is currently approved through January 25, 2025. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
This notice allows 60 days for public comments. 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> or in person at the EPA
Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW,
Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-
1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit
<a href="http://www.epa.gov/dockets">http://www.epa.gov/dockets</a>.
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 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 forms of information technology. 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, 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: Section 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), as amended, requires the EPA to develop standards for
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) as
may be necessary to protect human health and the environment.
Subsections 3004(a)(1), (3), (4), (5), and (6) specify that these
standards include, but not be limited to, the following requirements:
<bullet> Maintaining records of all hazardous wastes identified or
listed under subtitle C that are treated, stored, or disposed of, and
the manner in which such wastes were treated, stored, or disposed of;
<bullet> Operating methods, techniques, and practices for
treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste;
<bullet> Location, design, and construction of such hazardous waste
treatment, disposal, or storage facilities;
<bullet> Contingency plans for effective action to minimize
unanticipated damage from any treatment, storage, or disposal of any
such hazardous waste; and
<bullet> Maintaining or operating such facilities and requiring
such additional qualifications as to ownership, continuity of
operation, training for personnel, and financial responsibility as may
be necessary or desirable.
The regulations implementing these requirements are codified in 40
CFR parts 264 and 265. The collection of this information enables the
EPA to properly determine whether owners/operators or hazardous waste
treatment, storage, and disposal facilities meet the requirements of
section 3004(a) of RCRA.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Business and other for-profit, as
well as State, local, and Tribal governments.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA section 3004).
Estimated number of respondents: 1191.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 558,042 hours per year. Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $37,504,209 (per year), which includes
$337,223 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay
substantially the same.
Dated: May 3, 2024.
Carolyn Hoskinson,
Director, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery.
