Abstract: Section 3010 of Subtitle C of
RCRA, as amended, requires any person
who generates or transports regulated
waste or who owns or operates a facility
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
for the treatment, storage, or disposal
(TSDF) of regulated waste to notify EPA
of their activities, including the location
and general description of activities and
the regulated wastes managed. Section
3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires
TSDFs to obtain a permit. To obtain the
permit, the TSDF must submit an
application describing the facility’s
operation. There are two parts to the
RCRA permit application—Part A and
Part B. Part A defines the processes to
be used for treatment, storage, and
disposal of hazardous wastes: The
design capacity of such processes: and
the specific hazardous wastes to be
handled at the facility. Part B requires
detailed site specific information such
as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering
data.
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 recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 25 hours per
response for an initial Part A
Application and 13 hours per response
for a revised Part A application. 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
