AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an
information collection request (ICR),
Identification of Non-Hazardous
Secondary Materials That Are Solid
Waste (Renewal) (EPA ICR No. 2382.04,
OMB Control No. 2050–0205) to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

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.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before February 8, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
referencing Docket ID No. EPA–RCRA–

EPA’s policy is that all comments
received will be included in the public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supporting documents which explain in
detail the information that the EPA will
be collecting are available in the public
docket for this ICR. The docket can be
viewed online at www.regulations.gov
or in person at the EPA Docket Center,

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, the 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
the methodology and assumptions used;

(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
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: On March 21, 2011, EPA
finalized standards and procedures to be
used to identify whether non-hazardous
secondary materials are solid wastes
when used as fuels or ingredients in
combustion units. ‘‘Secondary material’’
is defined as any material that is not the
primary product of a manufacturing or
commercial process, and can include
post-consumer material, offspecification commercial chemical
products or manufacturing chemical
intermediates, post-industrial material,
and scrap (codified in § 241.2). ‘‘Nonhazardous secondary material’’ is a
secondary material that, when
discarded, would not be identified as a
hazardous waste under 40 CFR part 261
(codified in § 241.2). This RCRA solid
waste definition determines whether a
combustion unit is required to meet the
emissions standards for solid waste
incineration units issued under section
129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) or the
emissions standards for commercial,
industrial, and institutional boilers
issued under section 112 of the CAA. In
this rule, EPA also finalized a definition
of traditional fuels.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
private sector.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
required to obtain benefit (Sections 1004
and 2002 of RCRA).
Estimated number of respondents:
1,461.
Frequency of response: One-time.
Total estimated burden: 2,951 hours.
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $320,200, which
includes $320,200 annualized labor
costs and $0 annualized capital or O&M
costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is a
decrease of 23,542 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden and $1.4
million in the total labor costs compared
with the ICR currently approved by

OMB. These decreases are not due to
any program changes, but rather a
revised estimate of the number of
petitions expected to be submitted by
the respondents. Only two petitions
were submitted over the last three year
period, versus the original estimate of
168 petitions. The number of petitions
anticipated to be filed over the next
three year period has therefore been
reduced to 10, which EPA believes is
still a conservative estimate. The change
in labor costs also incorporates updated
labors rates available from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.

Activities: Comment Request
Export-Import Bank of the U.S.
Submission for OMB Review
and Comments Request.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Form Title: EIB 95–10, Application for
Long Term Loan or Guarantee.
SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of
the United States (Ex-Im Bank), as part
of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
invites the general public and other
Federal Agencies to comment on the
proposed information collection, as
required by the paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995.
By neutralizing the effect of export
credit insurance and guarantees offered
by foreign governments and by
absorbing credit risks that the private
section will not accept, Ex-Im Bank
enables U.S. exporters to compete fairly
in foreign markets on the basis of price
and product. This collection of
information is necessary, pursuant to 12
U.S.C. 635(a)(1), to determine eligibility
of the applicant for Ex-Im Bank support.
The Export-Import Bank has made a
change to the report to have the
financial institution provide specific
information (industry code, number of
employees and annual sales volume)
needed to make a determination as to
whether or not the exporter meets the
SBA’s definition of a small business.
The financial institution already
provides the exporter’s name and
address. These additional pieces of
information will allow Ex-Im Bank to
