Title: 2011 Hazardous Waste Report,
Notification of Regulated Waste
Activity, and Part A Hazardous Waste
Permit Application and Modification.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0976.15,
OMB Control No. 2050–0024.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on November 30, 2011. 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. The display of OMB
control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
Abstract: This ICR will combine two
separate ICRs into one: the ‘‘Notification
of Regulated Waste Activity and 2011
Hazardous Waste Report’’ ICR and the
‘‘RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit
Application and Modification, Part A’’
ICR (currently EPA ICR number
0262.12, OMB control number 2050–
0034).
Both Sections 3002 and 3004 of RCRA
require EPA to establish standards for
recordkeeping and reporting of
hazardous waste generation and
management. Section 3002 applies to
hazardous waste generators and Section
3004 applies to hazardous waste
treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities. In addition, Sections 3002 and
3004 require the submission of a report,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:26 Sep 07, 2011
Jkt 223001
at least every 2 years, of the quantity
and nature of hazardous waste
generated and managed during one year.
This is mandatory reporting. The
information for the required reporting
year (every odd year) is collected via a
mechanism known as the Hazardous
Waste Report (EPA Form 8700–13 A/B).
This form is also known as the
‘‘Biennial Report’’ form.
Section 3010 of RCRA requires any
person who generates or transports
regulated waste or who owns or
operates a facility for the treatment,
storage, or disposal of regulated waste to
notify EPA of their activities, including
the location and general description of
activities and the regulated wastes
handled. The facility is then issued an
EPA Identification number. The
facilities are required to use the
Notification Form (EPA Form 8700–12)
to notify EPA of their hazardous waste
activities. This form is also known as
the ‘‘Notification’’ form.
Section 3005 of RCRA requires
treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities (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. The RCRA Hazardous Waste
Part A Permit Application form (EPA
Form 8700–23) 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. This form is also known
as the ‘‘Part A’’ form. [Part B requires
detailed site specific information such
as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering
data. There is no form for Part B, and
the burden is covered under a separate
ICR.]
The information from all three forms
is entered into a national database. EPA
uses the information to identify the
universe of regulated waste generators,
handlers, and managers and their
specific regulated waste activities. EPA
also uses this information to ensure that
regulated waste is managed properly,
that statutory provisions are upheld,
and that regulations are adhered to by
facility owners or operators.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting burden for the 2011
Hazardous Waste Report is estimated to
average 12 hours per respondent, and
includes time for reviewing
instructions, gathering data, completing
and reviewing the forms, and submitting
the report. The recordkeeping
requirement is estimated to average 5
hours per response and includes the
time for filing and storing the 2011
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
Hazardous Waste Report submission for
three years.
The annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for the
Notification of Regulated Waste Activity
is estimated to average 1 hour per
response for the initial notification, and
1 hour per response for any subsequent
notifications.
The annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for the Part A
Permit Application is estimated to
average 20 hours per response for an
initial application and 10 hours per
response for a revised 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:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are business or other for-profit as
well as State, Local, or Tribal
governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
56,672.
Frequency of Response: once.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
440,243.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$18,267,341, includes $18,022,415
annualized labor costs and $244,926
annualized capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 18,110 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase is due mainly to
a projected increase of 179,980 in the
number of responses to the 2011
Hazardous Waste Report compared to
the 2009 Hazardous Waste Report.
