Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices organizations, schools, colleges, universities, and federal/state/local/ tribal governments. Due to the broad universe of eligible WasteWise partners, a relevant list of NAICS codes would include virtually every business area contained in the NAICS code manual. Therefore, it is not practical to include such a comprehensive list of affected organizations. The WasteWise Endorser Program initially targeted more than 100 trade associations across numerous industry sectors. The program is, however, open to all trade associations, membership organizations, and federal/ state/local/tribal organizations. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,525. Frequency of Response: Once when registering for the program, then yearly to report progress. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 56,700. Estimated Total Annual Cost: Includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs, and $3,000,000 annual labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 350 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to an adjustment. Participation in the program has increased. Dated: October 27, 2005. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Title: RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification, Part A (Renewal) 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 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 and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and record keeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 25 hours per response for new applications, 13 for revised applications. Burden means the E:\FR\FM\23NON1.SGM 23NON1 70828 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: Any person or organization who generates or transports regulated waste or owns or operates a facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal of regulated waste. Estimated Number of Respondents: 23. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 402. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $29,056, which includes $0 annualized capital costs, $172 annualized O&M costs, and $28,884 Respondent Labor Costs per year. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 174 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to the number of revised Part A Applications decreasing from 28 per year for the years 1999, 2000, and 2001 to 15 per year for the years 2002, 2003, and 2004.

    Title: RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification, 
Part A (Renewal)
    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 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 and are identified on 
the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and record keeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 25 
hours per response for new applications, 13 for revised applications. 
Burden means the

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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Any person or organization who

for the treatment, storage, or disposal of regulated waste.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 23.

    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $29,056, which includes $0 annualized

Costs per year.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 174 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to the number of revised 
Part A Applications decreasing from 28 per year for the years 1999, 
2000, and 2001 to 15 per year for the years 2002, 2003, and 2004.
