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 PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 76483 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. Dated: November 23, 2015.

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 E:\FR\FM\09DEN1.SGM 09DEN1

    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, off-specification commercial chemical 
products or manufacturing chemical intermediates, post-industrial 
material, and scrap (codified in Sec.  241.2). ``Non-hazardous 
secondary material'' is a secondary material that, when discarded, 
would not be identified as a hazardous waste under 40 CFR part 261 
(codified in Sec.  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.
