reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance; and are
required, in general, of all sources
subject to New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS).
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part shall maintain a
file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least two years following
the date of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All
reports are sent to the delegated state or
local authority. In the event that there
is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office.
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 recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 37 hours per
response. 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 which have subsequently
changed; 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:
Owners or operators of kraft pulp mills.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
100.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
Semiannually, On Occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
15,235.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$5,194,799, includes $344,900 capital/
startup costs and $3,620,000 annualized
O&M costs, and $1,229,899 annual labor
cost.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 3,128 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase is due to an
increase in the number of kraft pulp

mills that become subject to subpart BB,
and an expansion of the calculations to
include managerial and clerical labor
rates. The increase in O&M costs is due
to an increase in equipment
maintenance costs.

Title: Notification of Regulated Waste
Activity (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0261.15,
OMB Control No. 2050–0028.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on April 30, 2006.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency
may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this
submission is pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR,
after appearing in the Federal Register
when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, are displayed either by

publication in the Federal Register or
by other appropriate means, such as on
the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB
control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
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
(TSD) of regulated waste to notify EPA
of their activities, including the location
and general description of activities and
the regulated wastes handled. The
facility is then issued an EPA
Identification number. The facilities are
required to use the Notification Form
(EPA Form 8700–12) to notify EPA of
their hazardous waste activities. EPA
needs this information to determine the
universe of persons who generate,
handle, and manage these regulated
wastes; assign EPA Identification
Numbers; and ensure that these
regulated wastes are managed in a way
that protects human health and the
environment, as required by RCRA, as
amended.
EPA enters notification information
submitted by respondents into the EPA
National data base and assigns EPA
Identification Numbers. EPA uses the
information primarily for tracking
purposes, and secondarily for a variety
of enforcement and inspection
purposes. In addition, EPA uses this
information to identify the universe of
regulated waste generators, handlers,
and managers and their specific
regulated waste activities. Finally, EPA
uses this information to ensure that
regulated waste is managed properly,
that statutory provisions are upheld,
and that regulations are adhered to by
facility owners or operators.
Section 3007(b) of RCRA and 40 CFR
part 2, subpart B, which defines EPA’s
general policy on public disclosure of
information, both contain provisions for
confidentiality. However, the Agency
does not anticipate that businesses will
assert a claim of confidentiality covering
all or part of the Notification of
Regulated Waste Activity. If such a
claim were asserted, EPA must and will
treat the information in accordance with
the regulations cited above. EPA also
will assure that this information
collection complies with the Privacy
Act of 1974 and OMB Circular 108.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 2 hours per
response for the initial notification, and
1 hour per response for any subsequent
notifications. Burden means the total
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
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:
Business or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
55,915.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
100,307 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$9,690,000, includes $0 annualized
capital costs and $235,000 annualized
O&M costs and $9,455,000 annual labor
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 4,057 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase is due to
adjustments in the estimate of the
number of respondents submitting
subsequent notifications. Prior to this
renewal, EPA did not have a consistent
mechanism in place to track subsequent
notifications from state to state. The
information from the current database
shows that the number of respondents
submitting subsequent notifications was
underestimated in the past.

Title: Notification of Regulated Waste Activity (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0261.15, OMB Control No. 2050-0028.
ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on April 30,
2006. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or
