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,
visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets.
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: On April 17, 2015, the EPA
published a final rule to regulate the
disposal of coal combustion residuals
(CCR) from electric utilities as solid
waste under Subtitle D of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
(80 FR 21302). EPA established national
minimum criteria for existing and new
CCR landfills and CCR surface
impoundments and all lateral
expansions to include location
restrictions, design and operating

criteria, groundwater monitoring and
corrective action, closure requirements
and post-closure care, and
recordkeeping, notification, and internet
posting requirements.
In December 2016, the President
signed the Water Infrastructure
Improvements for the Nation (WIIN)
Act. The WIIN Act amended RCRA
Subtitle D and established new statutory
provisions applicable to CCR landfills
and CCR surface impoundments. In
particular, the WIIN Act provides that
states may, but are not required to,
develop and submit a permit (or other
system of prior approval) program for
CCR disposal to EPA for approval. Such
a program does not have to be identical
to the requirements in the CCR rule (40
CFR part 257, subpart D), but must be
at least as protective as the CCR rule.
EPA developed an interim final
guidance document that provides
information about the provisions of the
2016 WIIN Act related to CCR as well
as the process and procedures EPA will
generally use to review and make
determinations on state CCR permit
programs. The release of this interim
final guidance was announced on
August 15, 2017 (82 FR 38685), and EPA
accepted public comment for thirty
days.
On June 14, 2016, the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
(D.C. Circuit) ordered a partial vacatur.
As a consequence of the vacatur, EPA
published a direct final rule on August
5, 2016 (81 FR 51802), to remove 40
CFR 257.100(b), (c), and (d), which
provided ‘‘early closure’’ provisions for
certain inactive CCR surface
impoundments. It also extended
compliance deadlines for those units.
On July 17, 2018, EPA signed a rule
to finalize certain revisions to the 2015
CCR regulations to: provide states with
approved CCR permit programs under
the WIIN Act, or EPA where EPA is the
permitting authority, the ability to use
alternate performance standards; to
revise the groundwater protection
standard for constituents which do not
have an established drinking water
standard (known as a maximum
contaminant level or MCL); and to
provide facilities triggered into closure
additional time to cease receiving waste
and initiate closure.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Business and other for-profit.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
mandatory 42 U.S.C. 6907(a)(3),
6912(a)(1), 6944(a); 33 U.S.C. 1345(d)

Total estimated burden: 358,957
hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $63,858,128,
which includes $41,112,513 in
annualized O&M costs and $22,745,615
in annualized labor costs.
Changes in Estimates: The existing
burden hours have been revised to
reflect changes in the regulatory
program realized as a result of the
August 2016 direct final action, the
Interim Final Guidance for state CCR
programs, and the July 2018 final
amendments to the 2015 CCR rule. The
burden hours are likely to change
additionally in the future due to
ongoing litigation and EPA’s stated
intention to reconsider additional
portions of the 2015 rule. Any future
burden changes will be evaluated once
those changes are known.
