Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA specifically solicits

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. In
particular, EPA is requesting comments
from very small businesses (those that
employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA
could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses
affected by this collection.

What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply to?
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are business or
other for-profit, as well as State, Local,
or Tribal governments.
Title: Information Requirements for
Boilers and Industrial Furnaces: General
Hazardous Waste Facility Standards,
Specific Unit Requirements, and Part B
Permit Application and Modification
Requirements (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1361.13,
OMB Control No. 2050–0073.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on February 28,
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, and 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 regulates the burning of
hazardous waste in boilers, incinerators,
and industrial furnaces (BIFs) under 40
CFR parts 63, 264, 265, 266 and 270.
This ICR describes the paperwork
requirements that apply to the owners
and operators of BIFs. This includes the
requirements under the comparable/
syngas fuel specification at 40 CFR
E:\FR\FM\22OCN1.SGM
22OCN1
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 22, 2008 / Notices
261.38; the general facility requirements
at 40 CFR parts 264 and 265, subparts
B through H; the requirements
applicable to BIF units at 40 CFR part
266; and the RCRA Part B permit
application and modification
requirements at 40 CFR part 270.
Examples of paperwork collected under
these requirements include one-time
notices, certifications, waste analysis
data, inspection and monitoring records,
plans reports, RCRA Part B permit
applications and modifications. The
responses to the collection of
information are mandatory. EPA needs
this information for the proper
implementation, compliance tracking,
and fulfillment of the congressionally
delegated mandate under RCRA to
protect public health and the
environment. EPA, however, has taken
steps to minimize the burden imposed
on the facilities, and ensures the
confidentiality of the provided
information by complying with Section
3007(b) of RCRA, Privacy Act of 1974
and OMB Circular #108. Based on
information from the EPA Regions, we
estimated at last renewal of this ICR that
91 BIF facilities are subject to the RCRA
hazardous waste program. Of these, we
estimate that 32 BIFs are currently
under interim status and the remaining
59 are in permitted status. This renewal
takes into account the current universe
of the BIF facilities, and the current
regulations applicable to them based on
the amendments made to date.
Burden statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 2,626 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: 91.
Frequency of response: Annual.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:50 Oct 21, 2008
Jkt 217001
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 22.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
238,997 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$33,665,000, includes $7,855,000
annualized capital/startup cost,
$9,880,000 annual O&M costs and
$15,930,000 annual labor 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
