Title: Final Authorization for Hazardous Waste Management Programs. ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0969.08, OMB Control No. 2050–0041. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on September 30, 2008. 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.

Abstract: In order for a State to obtain final authorization for a State hazardous VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:11 May 05, 2008 Jkt 214001 waste program or to revise its previously authorized program, it must submit an official application to the EPA Regional office for approval. The purpose of the application is to enable EPA to properly determine whether the State’s program meets the requirements of section 3006 of RCRA. A State with an approved program may voluntarily transfer program responsibilities to EPA by notifying EPA of the proposed transfer, as required by § 271.23. Further, EPA may withdraw a State’s authorized program under § 271.23. State program revision may be necessary when the controlling Federal or State statutory or regulatory authority is modified or supplemented. In the event that the State is revising its program by adopting new Federal requirements, the State shall prepare and submit modified revisions of the program description, Attorney General’s statement, Memorandum of Agreement, or such other documents as EPA determines to be necessary. The State shall inform EPA of any proposed modifications to its basic statutory or regulatory authority in accordance with § 271.21. If a State is proposing to transfer all or any part of any program from the approved State agency to any other agency, it must notify EPA in accordance with § 271.21 and submit revised organizational charts as required under § 271.6, in accordance with § 271.21. These paperwork requirements are mandatory under section 3006(a). EPA will use the information submitted by the State in order to determine whether the State’s program meets the statutory and regulatory requirements for authorization. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 399 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.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities affected by this action are businesses 
and the Federal Government.
    Title: Information Collection Request (ICR) for NESHAP for 
Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE)
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1773.09, OMB Control No. 2050-0171.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on September 
30, 2008. 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: EPA, under authority of section 112d of the Clean Air 
Act, established National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAPs) for hazardous waste combustors: hazardous waste 
burning

[[Page 24979]]

incinerators, cement kilns, lightweight aggregate kilns, industrial/
commercial/institutional boilers and process heaters, and hydrochloric 
acid production furnaces. These NESHAPs are found in 40 CFR part 63. 
Under these standards, hazardous waste combustors are required to meet 
emission levels that reflect the maximum achievable control technology.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 51 
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: 238.
    Frequency of response: on occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 
17.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 201,527.
    Estimated total annual costs: $19,838,000. This includes an 
estimated labor burden cost of $14,571,000 and an estimated cost of 
$5,267,000 for capital investment 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
