that EPA is planning to submit a
continuing Information Collection
Request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). This is
a request for an existing approved
collection. This ICR is scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2006. Before
submitting the ICR to OMB for review
and approval, EPA is soliciting
comments on specific aspects of the
proposed information collection as
described below.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before October 2, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
referencing docket ID number EPA–HQ–
RCRA–2006–0624, by one of the
following methods:
• https://www.regulations.gov: Follow
the on-line instructions for submitting
comments.
• E-mail: rcra-docket@epa.gov.
• Mail: RCRA Docket (5305T), U.S.

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the

What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply to?
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are Business or
other for profit, Federal Government,
and State, Local or Tribal Government.
Title: Land Disposal Restrictions NoMigration Variances.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1353.08,
OMB Control No. 2050–0062.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on December 31,
2006. 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: To receive a variance from
the hazardous waste land disposal
prohibitions, owner/operators of
hazardous waste storage or disposal
facilities may petition the
Environmental Protection Agency to
allow land disposal of a specific
restricted waste at a specific site. The
EPA Regional Offices will review the
petitions and determine if they
successfully demonstrate ‘‘no
migration.’’ The applicant must
demonstrate that hazardous wastes can
be managed safely in a particular land
disposal unit, so that ‘‘no migration’’ of
any hazardous constituents occurs from
the unit for as long as the waste remains
hazardous. If EPA grants the variance,
the waste is no longer prohibited from
land disposal in that particular unit. If
the owner/operator fails to make this
demonstration, or chooses not to
petition for the variance, best
demonstrated available technology
(BDAT) requirements of 40 CFR 268.40
must be met before the hazardous
wastes are placed in a land disposal
unit.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 3,168 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.

The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 1.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
3,168.
Estimated total annual costs: $0, this
includes an estimated burden cost of $0
for capital investment and/or
maintenance and operational costs.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?
Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
Business or other for profit, Federal Government, and State, Local or
Tribal Government.
Title: Land Disposal Restrictions No-Migration Variances.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1353.08, OMB Control No. 2050-0062.
ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on December
31, 2006. 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: To receive a variance from the hazardous waste land
disposal prohibitions, owner/operators of hazardous waste storage or
disposal facilities may petition the Environmental Protection Agency to
allow land disposal of a specific restricted waste at a specific site.
The EPA Regional Offices will review the petitions and determine if
they successfully demonstrate ``no migration.'' The applicant must
demonstrate that hazardous wastes can be managed safely in a particular
land disposal unit, so that ``no migration'' of any hazardous
constituents occurs from the unit for as long as the waste remains
hazardous. If EPA grants the variance, the waste is no longer
prohibited from land disposal in that particular unit. If the owner/
operator fails to make this demonstration, or chooses not to petition
for the variance, best demonstrated available technology (BDAT)
requirements of 40 CFR 268.40 must be met before the hazardous wastes
are placed in a land disposal unit.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3,168
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.
The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential respondents: 1.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 3,168.
Estimated total annual costs: $0, this includes an estimated burden
cost of $0 for capital investment and/or maintenance and operational
costs.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
