SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supporting documents which explain in
detail the information 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,
WJC West, Room 3334, 1301
Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC.
The telephone number for the Docket
Center is 202–566–1744. For additional
information about EPA’s public docket,

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. 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
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: In 2015 the EPA published
final revisions to the definition of solid
waste that exclude certain hazardous
secondary materials from regulation (80
FR 1694, January 13, 2015). The
information requirements help ensure
that (1) entities operating under the
regulatory exclusions contained in
today’s action are held accountable to
the applicable requirements; (2) state
inspectors can verify compliance with
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
the restrictions and conditions of the
exclusions when needed; and (3)
hazardous secondary materials exported
for recycling are actually handled as
commodities abroad. Paperwork
requirements finalized in that rule
include:
• Under the generator-controlled
exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), the
tolling contractor has to maintain at its
facility for no less than three years
records of hazardous secondary
materials received pursuant to its
written contract with the tolling
manufacturer, and the tolling
manufacturer must maintain at its
facility for no less than three years
records of hazardous secondary
materials shipped pursuant to its
written contract with the tolling
contractor. In addition, facilities
performing the recycling of hazardous
secondary materials under the
generator-controlled exclusions at 40
CFR 261.4(a)(23) to maintain
documentation of their legitimacy
determination onsite.
• Under the verified recycler
exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24), a
verified hazardous secondary materials
recycler or an intermediate facility who
has obtained a solid waste variance
must meet the following conditions:
Having financial assurance in place,
having trained personnel, and meeting
emergency preparedness and response
conditions.
• Under the remanufacturing
exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(27), both
the hazardous secondary material
generator and the remanufacturer must
maintain records of shipments and
confirmations of receipts for a period of
three years from the dates of the
shipments.
• Under the revised speculative
accumulation requirement in
261.1(c)(8), all persons subject to the
speculative accumulation requirements
must label the storage unit by indicating
the first date that the material began to
be accumulated.
This ICR renewal does not include the
burden associated with filling out form
8700–12 because that burden is
included in ICR 2050–0024. The
remaining burden will eventually be
included in ICR 2050–0053, at which
time this ICR will be withdrawn.
Form Numbers: None.

potentially affected by this action are
private business or other for-profit, as
well as State, Local, or Tribal

in detail the information that the EPA

For additional information about EPA’s
public docket, visit: https://
www.epa.gov/dockets.
Abstract: Owners and operators of
affected facilities are required to comply
with reporting and record keeping
requirements for the General Provisions
(40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as
for the specific requirements at 40 CFR
part 63, subpart UUUU. This includes
submitting initial notifications,
performance tests and periodic reports
and results, and maintaining 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. These reports are
used by EPA to determine compliance
with these standards.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Cellulose products manufacturing
plants.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
UUUU).
Estimated number of respondents: 13
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially and
semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 12,200 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
Total estimated cost: $1,280,000 (per
year), which includes $1,010 in either
annualized capital and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an
adjustment increase in the total
estimated burden and cost as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not
due to any program changes. The
change in the respondent labor hour
estimates occurred because of a change
in assumption. This ICR assumes all
existing respondents will have to
familiarize with the regulatory
requirements each year. The number of
responses increased because this ICR
accounts for semiannual wastewater
reports in calculating the number of
responses, correcting an inconsistency
in the previous ICR.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
