Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are states that
seek approval of permit programs for
MSWLF’s and for non-municipal, nonhazardous waste disposal units that
receive CESQG waste.
Title: State Program Adequacy
Determination: Municipal Solid Waste
Landfills (MSWLFs) and NonMunicipal, Non-Hazardous Waste
Disposal Units that Receive
Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity
Generator (CESQG) Hazardous Waste,
EPA ICR Number 1608.04, OMB Control
Number 2050–0152.
Abstract: Section 4010(c) of the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) of 1976 requires that EPA
revise the landfill criteria promulgated
under paragraph (1) of section 4004(a)
and section 1008(a)(3). Section 4005(c)
of RCRA, as amended by the Hazardous
Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of
1984, requires States to develop and
implement permit programs to ensure
that MSWLFs and non-municipal, nonhazardous waste disposal units that
receive household hazardous waste or
CESQG hazardous waste are in
compliance with the revised criteria for
the design and operation of nonmunicipal, non-hazardous waste
disposal units under 40 CFR part 257,
subpart B and MSWLFs under 40 CFR
part 258. (40 CFR part 257, subpart B
and 40 CFR part 258 are henceforth
referred to as the ‘‘revised federal
criteria’’.) Section 4005(c) of RCRA
further mandates the EPA Administrator
to determine the adequacy of State
permit programs to ensure owner and/
or operator compliance with the revised
federal criteria. A State program that is
deemed adequate to ensure compliance
may afford flexibility to owners or
operators in the approaches they use to
meet federal requirements, significantly
E:\FR\FM\04JAN1.SGM
04JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 2 / Tuesday, January 4, 2005 / Notices
reducing the burden associated with
compliance.
In response to the statutory
requirement in section 4005(c), EPA
developed 40 CFR part 239, commonly
referred to as the State Implementation
Rule (SIR). The SIR describes the State
application and EPA review procedures
and defines the elements of an adequate
State permit program.
The collection of information from the
State during the permit program
adequacy determination process allows
EPA to evaluate whether a program for
which approval is requested is
appropriate in structure and authority to
ensure owner or operator compliance
with the revised federal criteria. The SIR
does not require the use of a particular
application form. Section 239.3 of the
SIR, however, requires that all State
applications contain the following five
components:
(1) A transmittal letter requesting
permit program approval.
(2) A narrative description of the State
permit program, including a
demonstration that the State’s standards
for non-municipal, non-hazardous waste
disposal units that receive CESQG
hazardous waste are technically
comparable to the part 257, subpart B
criteria and/or that its MSWLF
standards are technically comparable to
the part 258 criteria.
(3) A legal certification demonstrating
that the State has the authority to carry
out the program.
(4) Copies of State laws, regulations,
and guidance that the State believes
demonstrate program adequacy.
(5) Copies of relevant State-tribal
agreements if the State has negotiated
with a tribe for the implementation of a
permit program for non-municipal, nonhazardous waste disposal units that
receive CESQG hazardous waste and/or
MSWLFs on tribal lands.
The EPA Administrator has delegated
the authority to make determinations of
adequacy, as contained in the statute, to
the EPA Regional Administrator. The
appropriate EPA Regional Office,
therefore, will use the information
provided by each State to determine
whether the State’s permit program
satisfies the statutory test reflected in
the requirements of 40 CFR part 239. In
all cases, the information will be
analyzed to determine the adequacy of
the State’s permit program for ensuring
compliance with the federal revised
criteria.
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. The OMB control
VerDate jul<14>2003
18:02 Jan 03, 2005
Jkt 205001
numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed
in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
The EPA would like to solicit
comments 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.
Burden Statement: Burden means the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency.
This includes the time needed to review
instructions; develop, acquire, install,
and utilize technology and systems for
the purposes of collecting, validating,
and verifying information, processing
and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements; train personnel to be
able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
The total burden for States, territories,
and the EPA regions for the collection
and evaluation of the information under
this ICR is estimated to be about 7,210
hours and $352,800. The estimated
burden includes time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining
necessary data, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information.
The ICR supporting statement describes
the assumptions and information
sources used to develop the burden
estimate for this ICR. For a copy of the
supporting statement, contact Craig
Dufficy at (703) 308–9037, or e-mail
dufficy.craig@epa.gov. Requests should
reference the document title,
‘‘Supporting Statement for EPA
Information Collection Request
#1608.04’’. There is no recordkeeping
burden associated with this ICR.

Title: State Program Adequacy Determination: Municipal Solid Waste
Landfills (MSWLFs) and Non-Municipal, Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal
Units that Receive Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator
(CESQG) Hazardous Waste, EPA ICR Number 1608.04, OMB Control Number
2050-0152.
Abstract: Section 4010(c) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) of 1976 requires that EPA revise the landfill criteria
promulgated under paragraph (1) of section 4004(a) and section
1008(a)(3). Section 4005(c) of RCRA, as amended by the Hazardous Solid
Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, requires States to develop and
implement permit programs to ensure that MSWLFs and non-municipal, non-
hazardous waste disposal units that receive household hazardous waste
or CESQG hazardous waste are in compliance with the revised criteria
for the design and operation of non-municipal, non-hazardous waste
disposal units under 40 CFR part 257, subpart B and MSWLFs under 40 CFR
part 258. (40 CFR part 257, subpart B and 40 CFR part 258 are
henceforth referred to as the ``revised federal criteria''.) Section
4005(c) of RCRA further mandates the EPA Administrator to determine the
adequacy of State permit programs to ensure owner and/or operator
compliance with the revised federal criteria. A State program that is
deemed adequate to ensure compliance may afford flexibility to owners
or operators in the approaches they use to meet federal requirements,
significantly
[[Page 357]]
reducing the burden associated with compliance.
In response to the statutory requirement in section 4005(c), EPA
developed 40 CFR part 239, commonly referred to as the State
Implementation Rule (SIR). The SIR describes the State application and
EPA review procedures and defines the elements of an adequate State
permit program.
The collection of information from the State during the permit
program adequacy determination process allows EPA to evaluate whether a
program for which approval is requested is appropriate in structure and
authority to ensure owner or operator compliance with the revised
federal criteria. The SIR does not require the use of a particular
application form. Section 239.3 of the SIR, however, requires that all
State applications contain the following five components:
(1) A transmittal letter requesting permit program approval.
(2) A narrative description of the State permit program, including
a demonstration that the State's standards for non-municipal, non-
hazardous waste disposal units that receive CESQG hazardous waste are
technically comparable to the part 257, subpart B criteria and/or that
its MSWLF standards are technically comparable to the part 258
criteria.
(3) A legal certification demonstrating that the State has the
authority to carry out the program.
(4) Copies of State laws, regulations, and guidance that the State
believes demonstrate program adequacy.
(5) Copies of relevant State-tribal agreements if the State has
negotiated with a tribe for the implementation of a permit program for
non-municipal, non-hazardous waste disposal units that receive CESQG
hazardous waste and/or MSWLFs on tribal lands.
The EPA Administrator has delegated the authority to make
determinations of adequacy, as contained in the statute, to the EPA
Regional Administrator. The appropriate EPA Regional Office, therefore,
will use the information provided by each State to determine whether
the State's permit program satisfies the statutory test reflected in
the requirements of 40 CFR part 239. In all cases, the information will
be analyzed to determine the adequacy of the State's permit program for
ensuring compliance with the federal revised criteria.
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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
The EPA would like to solicit comments 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.
Burden Statement: Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The total burden for States, territories, and the EPA regions for
the collection and evaluation of the information under this ICR is
estimated to be about 7,210 hours and $352,800. The estimated burden
includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining necessary data, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information. The ICR supporting statement
describes the assumptions and information sources used to develop the
burden estimate for this ICR. For a copy of the supporting statement,
contact Craig Dufficy at (703) 308-9037, or e-mail
dufficy.craig@epa.gov. Requests should reference the document title,
``Supporting Statement for EPA Information Collection Request
