permit program for non-municipal, nonhazardous waste disposal units that
receive CESQG hazardous waste and/or
MSWLFs on tribal lands.
The EPA Administrator has delegated
the authority to make determinations of
adequacy, as contained in the statute, to
the EPA Regional Administrator. The
appropriate EPA Regional Office,
therefore, will use the information
provided by each state to determine
whether the state’s permit program
satisfies the statutory test reflected in
the requirements of 40 CFR part 239. In
all cases, the information will be
analyzed to determine the adequacy of
the state’s permit program for ensuring
compliance with the federal revised
criteria.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
States.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (RCRA § 4005(c)).
Estimated number of respondents: 12.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 2,405 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $128,268 (per
year) All costs are labor costs, there are
no capital/start-up or O&M costs
associated with this ICR.
Changes in Estimates: There is no
change of the 2,405 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
to the ICR currently approved by OMB.
This is a continuation of states revising
or updating their state programs.

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

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. The 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, the
EPA will issue another Federal Register

Abstract: In order for a State to obtain
final authorization for a State hazardous
waste program or to revise its previously
authorized program, it must submit an
official application to the EPA Regional
office for approval. The purpose of the
application is to enable the EPA to
properly determine whether the State’s
program meets the requirements of
§ 3006 of RCRA. A State with an
approved program may voluntarily
transfer program responsibilities to EPA
by notifying the EPA of the proposed
transfer, as required by section 271.23.
Further, the EPA may withdraw a
State’s authorized program under
section 271.23.
State program revision may be
necessary when the controlling Federal
or State statutory or regulatory authority
is modified or supplemented. In the
event that the State is revising its
program by adopting new Federal
requirements, the State shall prepare
and submit modified revisions of the
program description, Attorney General’s
statement, Memorandum of Agreement,
or such other documents as the EPA
determines to be necessary. The State
shall inform the EPA of any proposed
modifications to its basic statutory or
regulatory authority in accordance with
section 271.21. If a State is proposing to
transfer all or any part of any program
from the approved State agency to any
other agency, it must notify the EPA in
accordance with section 271.21 and
submit revised organizational charts as
required under section 271.6, in
accordance with section 271.21. These
paperwork requirements are mandatory
under § 3006(a). The EPA will use the
information submitted by the State in
order to determine whether the State’s
program meets the statutory and

review and approval. At that time, EPA

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to

Abstract: As part of the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990, the U.S. Congress
included, as part of section 507, the
requirements that each state establish a
Small Business Stationary Source
Technical and Environmental
Compliance Assistance Program to
assist small businesses in complying
with the Act. These programs are
generally known as Small Business
Environmental Assistance Programs
(SBEAPs). EPA’s Small Business
Ombudsman must oversee the overall
507 program and be able to provide the
Congress with periodical reports on the
effectiveness, difficulties encountered
and other relevant information on the
program. Each state will submit
requested information to EPA for
compilation and summarization. This
collection of information is mandatory
under Section 507(a), (d) and (e) of the
Clean Air Act as amended in 1990,
Public Law 101–549, November 15,
1990. Information that is collected is
aggregated and is not of a confidential
nature. None of the information
collected by this action results in/or
requests sensitive information of any
nature from the states.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: State
and/or state appointed entities of the
507 program, usually college or
university staff.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory under Section 507(a), (d) and
(e) of the Clean Air Act as amended in
1990, Public Law 101–549, November
15, 1990.
Estimated number of respondents: 53
(total).
Frequency of response: Annual.
Total estimated burden: 2,120 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b)
Total estimated cost: $ 104,664 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is no
change in the total estimated respondent
burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. There is a possibility
that the total estimated cost may
increase slightly due to inflation prices
and will be determined once final
numbers are generated but generally
speaking hours spent in responding to
the data collection will not change.
