Title: Hazardous Remediation Waste
Management Requirements (HWIRMedia)
Abstract: The Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as
amended, requires EPA to establish a
national regulatory program to ensure
that hazardous wastes are managed in a
manner protective of human health and
the environment. Under this program
(known as the RCRA Subtitle C
E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM
14APN1
19758
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 71 / Thursday, April 14, 2005 / Notices
program), EPA regulates newly
generated hazardous wastes, as well as
hazardous remediation wastes (i.e.,
hazardous wastes managed during
cleanup).
To facilitate prompt and protective
treatment, storage, and disposal of
hazardous remediation wastes, EPA
established three requirements for
remediation waste management sites
that are different from those for facilities
managing newly generated hazardous
waste:
1. Performance standards for
remediation waste management sites (40
CFR 264.1(j));
2. A provision excluding remediation
waste management sites from
requirements for facility-wide corrective
action; and
3. A new form of RCRA permit for
treating, storing, and disposing of
hazardous remediation wastes (40 CFR
part 270, subpart H). The new permit, a
Remedial Action Plan (RAP),
streamlines the permitting process for
remediation waste management sites to
allow cleanups to take place more
quickly.
In addition, EPA created a new kind
of unit called a ‘‘staging pile’’ (40 CFR
264.554) that allows more flexibility in
storing remediation waste during
cleanup.
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 in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
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: The annual public
reporting and record keeping burden for
this collection of information is
VerDate jul<14>2003
19:36 Apr 13, 2005
Jkt 205001
estimated to average 28.18 hours per
response.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
176.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
4,959 hours.
Estimated Total Annualized Capital,
Operating/Maintenance Cost Burden:
$334.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: EPA is in the process of
updating, and revising where
appropriate, the air quality criteria
document (AQCD) for ozone and related
photochemical oxidants published in
1996. Section 109(d)(1) of the Clean Air
Act (CAA) requires that EPA carry out
a periodic review and revision, as
appropriate, of the air quality criteria
and the national ambient air quality
standards (NAAQS) for the six ‘‘criteria’’
air pollutants such as ozone. On January
31, 2005, EPA’s National Center for
Environmental Assessment, Research
Triangle Park, NC (NCEA–RTP), within
the Agency’s Office of Research and
Development (ORD), made available for
public review and comment a First
External Review Draft of a revised
document, Air Quality Criteria for
Ozone and Related Photochemical
Oxidants (First External Review Draft),
Volumes I, II, and III, (first draft Ozone
AQCD, January 2005). Under CAA
sections 108 and 109, the purpose of the
revised Ozone AQCD is to provide an
assessment of the latest scientific
information on the effects of ambient
ozone on the public health and welfare,
for use in EPA’s current review of the
NAAQS for ozone. Detailed summary
information on EPA’s first draft Ozone
AQCD is contained in a previous EPA
Federal Register notice (70 FR 4850,
January 31, 2005).
EPA is soliciting advice and
recommendations from the CASAC by
means of a peer review of the first draft
Ozone AQCD. The CASAC, which is
comprised of seven members appointed
by the EPA Administrator, was
