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 this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 4,190.
Frequency of response: Once every
five years.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.0.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
432,274 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$19,400,000. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $19,400,000 and an
estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and
operational costs.

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates
from the Last Approval?
There is an increase of 18,699 hours
(from 413,575 hours to 432,274 hours)
in the total estimated respondent
burden compared with that identified in
the ICR most recently approved by
OMB. In the 2006 Inventory Update
Rule (IUR) collection covered by the
previous ICR, inorganic chemical were
partially exempt and therefore,
manufacturers (including importers) of
inorganic chemicals completed only
partial reports. However, in subsequent
reporting periods, including the period
covered by this ICR, manufacturers
(including importers) of inorganic
chemicals must complete full reports
when the site-specific production
volume is 300,000 pounds or more. Full
reports are estimated to take an
additional 85 hours to complete. This
represents a program change.
EPA used data reported to the 2006
IUR collection to estimate numbers of
respondents. Total sites reporting are
estimated to be 4,190 for this collection.
In the previous ICR, the number of sites
responding was estimated to be 3,026
sites. This re-estimate is another reason
for the change in burden hours. This
change is an adjustment.

V. 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. EPA will issue another Federal
Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR

What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply to?
Affected entities: EPA assumes that
industrial waste units that previously
co-disposed non-hazardous wastes and
conditionally exempt small quantity
generator (CESQG) hazardous waste onsite have ceased that practice and that
commercial off-site industrial waste
units are operating with stringent
environmental controls in place.
Therefore, entities that potentially will
be affected by this action are limited to
those that dispose of CESQG hazardous
wastes in construction and demolition
(C&D) waste landfills.
Title: Agency Information Collection
Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Criteria for
Classification of Solid Waste Disposal
Facilities and Practices, Recordkeeping
and Reporting Requirements—40 CFR
Part 257, Subpart B.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1745.06,
OMB Control No. 2050–0154.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on January 31,
2009. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
certain EPA regulations is consolidated
in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: In order to effectively
implement and enforce final changes to
40 CFR Part 257—Subpart B on a State
level, owners/operators of construction
and demolition waste landfills that
receive CESQG hazardous wastes will
have to comply with the final reporting
and recordkeeping requirements. 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 number for
EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR
part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. This
continuing ICR documents the
recordkeeping and reporting burdens
associated with the location and
ground-water monitoring provisions
contained in 40 CFR Part 257—Subpart
B.
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: 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; 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. Burden for this
collection of information is estimated to
average 74 hours per response.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?
Affected entities: EPA assumes that industrial waste units that
previously co-disposed non-hazardous wastes and conditionally exempt
small quantity generator (CESQG) hazardous waste on-site have ceased
that practice and that commercial off-site industrial waste units are
operating with stringent environmental controls in place. Therefore,
entities that potentially will be affected by this action are limited

Title: Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed
Collection; Comment Request; Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste
Disposal Facilities and Practices, Recordkeeping andReporting
Requirements--40 CFR Part 257, Subpart B.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1745.06, OMB Control No. 2050-0154.
ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on January
31, 2009. 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: In order to effectively implement and enforce final
changes to 40 CFR Part 257--Subpart B on a State level, owners/
operators of construction and demolition waste landfills that receive
CESQG hazardous wastes will have to comply with the final reporting and
recordkeeping requirements. 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 number for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48
CFR chapter 15. This continuing ICR documents the recordkeeping and
reporting burdens associated with the location and ground-water
monitoring provisions contained in 40 CFR Part 257--Subpart B.
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: 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; 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. Burden for this collection of information is estimated to
average 74 hours per response.

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.
