The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: Section 3010 of Subtitle C of RCRA, as amended, requires any person who generates or transports regulated waste or who owns or operates a facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal (TSDF) of regulated waste to notify EPA of their activities, including the location and general description of activities and the regulated wastes managed. Section 3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires TSDFs to obtain a permit. To obtain the permit, the TSDF must submit an application describing the facility’s operation. There are two parts to the RCRA permit application—Part A and Part B. Part A defines the processes to be used for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes: the design capacity of such processes: and the specific hazardous wastes to be handled at the facility. Part B requires detailed site specific information such as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering data. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and record keeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 25 hours per response for an initial Part A Application and 13 hours per response for a revised Part A application. 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: Business or other for-profit. Estimated Number of Respondents: 82. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 497. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $35,791, which includes $35,619 in annualized labor costs and $172 annualized operating and maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 95 hours in the total VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:30 Jan 27, 2009 Jkt 217001 estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due primarily to the State agency burden, which was not calculated in previous renewals. Dated: January 22, 2009. John Moses, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Under this program (known as the RCRA Subtitle C program), EPA regulates newly generated hazardous wastes, as well as hazardous remediation wastes (i.e., hazardous wastes managed during cleanup).

     Abstract: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 
(RCRA), as amended, requires EPA to establish a national regulatory 
program to ensure that hazardous wastes are managed in a manner 
protective of human health and the environment. Under this program 
(known as the RCRA Subtitle C program), EPA regulates newly generated 
hazardous wastes, as well as hazardous remediation wastes (i.e., 
hazardous wastes managed during cleanup). To facilitate prompt and 
protective treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous remediation 
wastes, EPA established three requirements for remediation waste 
management sites that are different from those for facilities managing 
newly generated hazardous waste:
     Performance standards for remediation waste management 
sites (40 CFR 264.1(j));
     A provision excluding remediation waste management sites 
from requirements for facility-wide corrective action; and
     A new form of RCRA permit for treating, storing, and 
disposing of hazardous remediation wastes (40 CFR part 270, subpart H). 
The new permit, a Remedial Action Plan (RAP), streamlines the 
permitting process for remediation waste management sites to allow 
cleanups to take place more quickly.
    In addition, EPA created a new kind of unit called a ``staging 
pile'' (40 CFR 264.554) that allows more flexibility in storing 
remediation waste during cleanup.
     Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 32 
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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 215.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 6,953.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $483,576, which includes $459,103 
annualized labor and $24,473 annualized capital or operating & 
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 2,009 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due primarily to the State 
agency burden, which was not calculated in previous renewals.
