On October 9, 2014, the Commission
issued an order announcing its intent to
revoke the market-based rate authority
of the public utilities listed in the
caption of that order, which had failed

termination of their electric marketbased rate tariffs.2
The time period for compliance with
the October 9 Order has elapsed. The
above-captioned companies failed to file
their delinquent Electric Quarterly
Reports. The Commission hereby
revokes the market-based rate authority
and terminates the electric market-based
rate tariffs of the companies who are

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of

information, including the validity of

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to

Abstract: In 1995, EPA promulgated
regulations at 40 CFR Part 273 that
govern the collection and management
of widely-generated hazardous wastes
known as ‘‘Universal Wastes’’.
Universal Wastes are generated in a
variety of non-industrial settings, and
are present in non-hazardous waste
management systems. Examples of
Universal Wastes include certain
batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing
lamps and thermostats. The Part 273
regulations are designed to ensure
facilities collect these wastes and
properly manage them in an appropriate
hazardous waste management system.
EPA distinguishes two types of handlers
of Universal Wastes: Small quantity
handlers of Universal Waste (SQHUW)
and large quantity handlers of Universal
Waste (LQHUW). SQHUWs do not
accumulate more than 5,000 kg of any
one category of Universal Waste at one
time, while LQHUWs may accumulate
quantities at or above this threshold.
More stringent requirements are
imposed on LQHUWs because of greater
potential environmental risks. EPA
needs to collect notifications of
Universal Waste management from
LQHUWs to obtain general information
on these handlers and to facilitate
enforcement of the Part 273 regulations.
EPA promulgated labeling and marking
requirements and accumulation time
limits to ensure that Universal Waste is
being accumulated responsibly. EPA
needs to collect information on illegal
Universal Waste shipments to enforce
compliance with applicable regulations.

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 214 / Wednesday, November 5, 2014 / Notices
Finally, EPA requires tracking of
Universal Waste shipments to help
ensure that Universal Waste is being
properly treated, recycled, or disposed.
In 2001, EPA promulgated regulations
in 40 CFR Part 266 that provide
increased flexibility to facilities
managing wastes commonly known as
‘‘Mixed Waste.’’ Mixed Wastes are lowlevel mixed waste (LLMW) and
naturally occurring and/or acceleratorproduced radioactive material (NARM)
containing hazardous waste. These
wastes are also regulated by the Atomic
Energy Act. As long as specified
eligibility criteria and conditions are
met, LLMW and NARM are exempt from
the definition of hazardous waste as
defined in Part 261. Although these
wastes are exempt from RCRA manifest,
transportation, and disposal
requirements, facilities must still
comply with the manifest,
transportation, and disposal
requirements under the NRC (or NRCAgreement State) regulations. Section
266.345(a) requires that generators or
treaters notify EPA or the Authorized
State that they are claiming the
Transportation and Disposal
Conditional Exemption prior to the
initial shipment of a waste to a LLRW
disposal facility. This exemption notice
provides a tool for RCRA program
regulatory agencies to become aware of
the generator’s exemption claims. The
information contained in the
notification package provides the RCRA
program regulatory agencies with a
general understanding of the claimant.
This information also allows the
agencies to document the generator’s
exemption status and to plan
inspections and review exemptionrelated records.
And finally, in 1992, EPA finalized
management standards for used oils
destined for recycling. The Agency
codified the used oil management
standards at 40 CFR Part 279. The
regulations at 40 CFR Part 279 establish,
among other things, streamlined
procedures for notification, testing,
labeling, and recordkeeping. They also
establish a flexible self-implementing
approach for tracking off-site shipments
that allow used oil handlers to use
standard business practices (e.g.,
invoices, bill of lading). In addition, part
279 sets standards for the prevention
and cleanup of releases to the
environment during storage and transit.
EPA believes these requirements will
minimize potential mismanagement of
used oils, while not discouraging
recycling. Used oil transporters must
comply with all applicable packaging,
labeling, and placarding requirements of
49 CFR parts 173, 178, and 179. In
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:42 Nov 04, 2014
Jkt 235001
addition, used oil transporters must
report discharges of used oil according
to existing 49 CFR part 171 and 33 CFR
part 153 requirements.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
Private Sector and State, Local, or Tribal
Governments.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
mandatory (40 CFR Part 273), required
to obtain or retain a benefit (40 CFR
Parts 266 and 279).
Estimated number of respondents:
123,114.
Frequency of response: Occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 65,165 hours.
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $34,535,019
which includes $10,012,855 annualized
capital and O&M costs and $24,522,164
annualized labor costs.
Changes in estimates: The burden
hours are likely to stay substantially the
same.
