Title: Emergency Planning and
Release Notification Requirements
under Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act Sections
302, 303, and 304 (Renewal).
ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1395.08,
OMB Control No. 2050–0092.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on July 31, 2012. 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: The authority for these
requirements is sections 302, 303, and
304 of the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act
(EPCRA), 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11002, 11003,
and 11004). EPCRA established broad

emergency planning and facility
reporting requirements. Section 302
requires facilities to notify their state
emergency response commission (SERC)
that the facility is subject to emergency
planning. This activity has been
completed; this ICR covers only new
facilities that are subject to this
requirement. Section 303 requires the
local emergency planning committees
(LEPCs) to prepare emergency plans for
facilities that are subject to section 302.
This activity has been also completed;
this ICR only covers any updates needed
for these emergency response plans.
Section 304 requires facilities to report
to SERCs and LEPCs releases in excess
of the reportable quantities listed for
each extremely hazardous substance
(EHS). This ICR also covers the
notification and the written follow-up
required under this section. The
implementing regulations and the list of
substances for emergency planning and
emergency release notification are
codified in 40 CFR part 355.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 2.4 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:
Chemical manufacturers, non-chemical
manufacturers, retailers, petroleum
refineries, utilities, etc.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
110,456.
Frequency of Response: Once, on
occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
267,206.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$13,626,107, includes $0 annualized
capital and $60,327 annualized O&M
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The number
of respondents increased by 12,000 from
the previous ICR. This is due to an
increase in the number of reports of

Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980 (CERCLA) hazardous
substance and Extremely Hazardous
Substance (EHS) releases reported to the
National Response Center in 2011.
There is a decrease of 28,550 hours from
the previous ICR due to adjustments for
current burden estimates. There is a
decrease of $8,392 O&M costs which is
also due to adjustments to the estimates.

appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if

numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
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: (1)
Performance standards for remediation
waste management sites (40 CFR
264.1(j)); (2) a provision excluding
remediation waste management sites
from requirements for facility-wide
corrective action; and (3) 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. 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 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are
identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 32 hours per
response. For Respondents in Private
entities, it is estimated to average 28
hours per response. For Respondents in
States, it is estimated to average 51
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,

any previously applicable instructions
and requirements which have
subsequently changed; train personnel

Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$397,489, which includes $371,571 in
annualized labor costs and $25,918 in
annualized capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the total estimated hour
burden currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
There is an increase of $1,445 in O&M
costs which is due to updating estimates
to current levels.

burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 32

it is estimated to average 51 hours per response. Burden means the
