The commenter stated that they ‘‘support Southwestern’s analysis and recommendations concerning the operational considerations in Section 8.’’ Response: Concur. 2. Comment. ‘‘In Section 8.2 Water Temperature Control states minimum flows should be considered meeting a portion of the 3-day, 6,000 cfs-day generation releases designed to maintain suitable water temperatures in the downstream trout fishery and SWPA’s generation requirements should be reduced accordingly, or additional compensation provided. We agree releases are needed to maintain suitable water temperatures and commend SWPA for providing these releases. However, we do not agree these volumes should be reduced since (1) seasonal pools have been provided to mitigate SWPA for these generations, (2) neither the timing nor volume of these releases are optimal for addressing temperature needs of the downstream trout fishery.’’ Response: Southwestern does not concur. The 3-day requirement is for a specific amount of water to be released over each 3-day period. The modeling and computation performed by both the Corps and Southwestern of the hydropower impacts and associated compensation were based upon the assumption that the minimum flow releases would be used to help meet those downstream requirements. If it is decided that such an operation is not desirable, then the assumption would need to be changed, the impact to hydropower would need to be recomputed, and the compensation increased accordingly.

Title: Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities and Practices (Renewal) ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1745.06, OMB Control No. 2050–0154. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009. 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.

Abstract: The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, mandated that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revise the Criteria for Solid Waste Disposal Facilities that may receive household hazardous wastes and conditionally exempt small quantity generator (CESQG) wastes. In order to effectively implement and enforce these regulations (found at 40 CFR part 257, subpart B) on a State level, owners/ operators of construction and demolition waste landfills that receive CESQG hazardous wastes have to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 74 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. Estimated Number of Respondents: 152. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,219. Estimated Total Annual Cost (in thousands of dollars): $2,014,382, which includes $1,577,659 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 2,362 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to the reduction in the total number of Construction & Demolition landfills. Dated: January 14, 2009. John Moses, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.

    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009. 
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

    Abstract: The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to 
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, mandated 
that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revise the Criteria 
for Solid Waste Disposal Facilities that may receive household 
hazardous wastes and conditionally exempt small quantity generator 
(CESQG) wastes. In order to effectively implement and enforce these 
regulations (found at 40 CFR part 257, subpart B) on a State level, 
owners/operators of construction and demolition waste landfills that 
receive CESQG hazardous wastes have to comply with reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements. This ICR documents the ongoing 
recordkeeping and reporting burdens associated with the location and

monitoring provisions contained in 40 CFR part 257, subpart B.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 74 
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.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 152.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,219.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost (in thousands of dollars): $2,014,382, 
which includes $1,577,659 annualized capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 2,362 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to the reduction in the 
total number of Construction & Demolition landfills.
