Abstract: Section 126(f) of the
Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA)
requires EPA to set worker protection
standards for State and local employees
engaged in hazardous waste operations
and emergency response in the 27 States
that do not have Occupational Safety
and Health Administration approved
State plans. The EPA coverage, required
to be identical to the OSHA standards,
extends to three categories of
employees: those engaged in clean-ups
at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites,
including corrective actions at
Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD)
facilities regulated under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA);
employees working at routine hazardous
waste operations at RCRA TSD facilities,
and employees involved in emergency
response operations without regard to
location. This ICR renews existing
mandatory record keeping collection of
ongoing activities including monitoring
of any potential employee exposure at
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites,
maintaining records of employee
training, refresher training, medical
exams and reviewing emergency
response plans.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 12 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: State
and local governments in the 27 States
and 2 territories that do not have OSHAapproved plans under section 18(b) of
the OSH Act.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
25,052.
Frequency of Response: Once,
Annually, On Occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
311,680.

Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$4,253,976, includes no annualized
capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 56,253 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This is due primarily to the
estimated growth in the number of fire
departments and other respondents
subject to this collection.

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,
and 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: Respondents subject to 40
CFR part 60, subpart Ce, and to 40 CFR
part 62, subpart HHH, are owners or
operators of hospital, medical, or
infectious waste incinerators. Subpart
Ce was promulgated on September 15,
1997, and requires states or tribes to
develop plans to implement the
Emission Guidelines. If approvable State
or tribal plans were not developed, EPA
was required to develop a Federal plan
to implement the Emission Guidelines
in such States or tribes. The Federal
plan, subpart HHH, was promulgated on
September 14, 2000.
Subparts Ce and HHH require initial
notifications, performance tests, and
annual and semi-annual reporting.
Owners or operators are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining
compliance.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of these parts shall maintain
a file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least five years following
the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All
reports are sent to the delegated State or
tribal authority. In the event that there
is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce and 40
CFR part 62, subpart HHH, as
authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of
the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data
and other information that have been
determined to be private.
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 regulations listed in 40
