Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and Approval; Comment Request; Requirements for Generators, Transporters, and Waste Management Facilities Under the RCRA Hazardous Waste Manifest System (Renewal), 30454-30455 [2015-12791]

Download as PDF 30454 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 102 / Thursday, May 28, 2015 / Notices Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 2,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $285,000 (per year), includes $0 for both annualized capital and operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a small adjustment decrease in burden from the previous ICR because we have modified the calculation methodology associated with the five-year repeat performance test requirement. The previous ICR assumed all 14 sources will have to conduct the performance test during the ICR renewal period. Since this requirement only occurs once every five years, we have revised the estimates to reflect this frequency: (14 sources)/(5 years) = 2.8 sources per year. This results in a decrease in the respondent burden. There is also an increase of six responses due to a correction. The previous ICR did not account for the five-year performance test notifications and reports in calculating the number of responses. Courtney Kerwin, Acting-Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 61, subpart N. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also required to PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Glass manufacturing plants. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart N). Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 3,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $365,000 (per year), includes $56,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the respondent burden hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. However, there is an adjustment increase in the estimated labor costs from using more updated labor rates. In addition, there is an adjustment increase in the Agency burden due to a correction. The previous ICR underestimated the number of uncontrolled arsenic emission rate reports reviewed by the Agency. These reports are submitted by 15 of the 16 subject sources. This ICR assumes the Agency reviews reports submitted by all 15 sources. Courtney Kerwin, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Abstract: This ICR covers recordkeeping and reporting activities for the hazardous waste manifest paper system, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA’s authority to require use of a manifest system stems primarily from RCRA 3002(a)(5) (also RCRA Sections 3003(a)(3) and 3004). Regulations are found in 40 CFR part 262 (registrant organizations and generators), part 263 (transporters), and parts 264 and 265 (TSDFs). The manifest lists the wastes that are being shipped and the treatment, storage, or disposal facility (TSDF) to which the wastes are bound. Generators, transporters, and TSDFs handling hazardous waste are required to complete the data requirements for manifests and other reports primarily to: (1) Track each shipment of hazardous waste from the generator to a designated facility; (2) provide information requirements sufficient to allow the use of a manifest in lieu of a Department of Transportation (DOT) shipping paper or bill of lading, thereby reducing the duplication of paperwork to the regulated community; (3) provide information to transporters and waste management facility workers on the hazardous nature of the waste; (4) inform emergency response teams of the waste’s hazard in the event of an accident, spill, or leak; and (5) ensure that shipments of hazardous waste are managed properly and delivered to their designated facilities. On February 7, 2014, EPA published the electronic manifest (e-Manifest) Final Rule. The final rule established new manifest requirements that authorized the use of electronic manifests (or e-Manifests) as a means to track off-site shipments of hazardous waste from a generator’s site to the site of the receipt and disposition of the hazardous waste. EPA is taking action now to establish the national e-Manifest system, but unknown variables (e.g., funding contingencies for e-Manifest system development) could delay the actual deployment of the system. Therefore, until EPA announces that the e-Manifest system is available for use in a subsequent Federal Register document, all respondents under the information collection requirements covered in this ICR (i.e., hazardous waste generators, transporters, and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs)) must continue to comply with the current paper-based manifest system and use the existing paper manifests forms for the off-site transportation of hazardous waste PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30455 shipments. The EPA anticipates that the initial system will become available for use no later than spring 2018. Form Numbers: Form 8700–22 and 8700–22A. Respondents/affected entities: Business or other for-profit facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA 3002(a)(5)). Estimated number of respondents: 83,500. Frequency of response: Once per shipment. Total estimated burden: 2,555,959 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $85,553,718 (per year), includes $2,658,577 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 917,618 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the annual number of generators preparing manifests. Courtney Kerwin, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

    Abstract: This ICR covers recordkeeping and reporting activities 
for the hazardous waste manifest paper system, under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA's authority to require use of 
a manifest system stems primarily from RCRA 3002(a)(5) (also RCRA 
Sections 3003(a)(3) and 3004). Regulations are found in 40 CFR part 262 
(registrant organizations and generators), part 263 (transporters), and 
parts 264 and 265 (TSDFs). The manifest lists the wastes that are being 
shipped and the treatment, storage, or disposal facility (TSDF) to 
which the wastes are bound. Generators, transporters, and TSDFs 
handling hazardous waste are required to complete the data requirements 
for manifests and other reports primarily to: (1) Track each shipment 
of hazardous waste from the generator to a designated facility; (2) 
provide information requirements sufficient to allow the use of a 
manifest in lieu of a Department of Transportation (DOT) shipping paper 
or bill of lading, thereby reducing the duplication of paperwork to the 
regulated community; (3) provide information to transporters and waste 
management facility workers on the hazardous nature of the waste; (4) 
inform emergency response teams of the waste's hazard in the event of 
an accident, spill, or leak; and (5) ensure that shipments of hazardous 
waste are managed properly and delivered to their designated 
facilities.
    On February 7, 2014, EPA published the electronic manifest (e-
Manifest) Final Rule. The final rule established new manifest 
requirements that authorized the use of electronic manifests (or e-
Manifests) as a means to track off-site shipments of hazardous waste 
from a generator's site to the site of the receipt and disposition of 
the hazardous waste. EPA is taking action now to establish the national 
e-Manifest system, but unknown variables (e.g., funding contingencies 
for e-Manifest system development) could delay the actual deployment of 
the system. Therefore, until EPA announces that the e-Manifest system 
is available for use in a subsequent Federal Register document, all 
respondents under the information collection requirements covered in 
this ICR (i.e., hazardous waste generators, transporters, and 
treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs)) must continue to 
comply with the current paper-based manifest system and use the 
existing paper manifests forms for the off-site transportation of 
hazardous waste shipments. The EPA anticipates that the initial system 
will become available for use no later than spring 2018.
    Form Numbers: Form 8700-22 and 8700-22A.
    Respondents/affected entities: Business or other for-profit 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA 3002(a)(5)).
    Estimated number of respondents: 83,500.
    Frequency of response: Once per shipment.
    Total estimated burden: 2,555,959 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $85,553,718 (per year), includes $2,658,577 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 917,618 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in 
the annual number of generators preparing manifests.
