SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a proposed extension of the ICR,
which is currently approved through June 30, 2026. 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 document 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="https://www.regulations.gov">https://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="https://www.epa.gov/dockets">https://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
[[Page 57467]]
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
document to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: Section 7004(b) of RCRA gives EPA broad authority to
provide for, encourage, and assist public participation in the
development, revision, implementation, and enforcement of any
regulation, guideline, information, or program under RCRA. In addition,
the statute specifies certain public notices (i.e., radio, newspaper,
and a letter to relevant agencies) that EPA must provide before issuing
any RCRA permit. The statute also establishes a process by which the
public can dispute a permit and request a public hearing to discuss it.
EPA carries out much of its RCRA public involvement at 40 CFR parts 124
and 270.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are businesses and other for-profit.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA 7004(b)).
Estimated number of respondents: 47.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 4,474 hours per year. Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $336,413 (per year), includes $4,863
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay
substantially the same.
Dated: November 13, 2025.

Director, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery.
