Abstract: EPA published the NonHazardous Secondary Materials (NHSM)
Rule on March 21, 2011. This rule
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.
Amendments to this rule were
published on February 7, 2013 (78 FR
9112), which added new materials to
the list of categorical non-waste fuels.
These amendments also provided
clarification on certain issues on which
EPA received new information, as well
as specific targeted revisions.
Further amendments to this rule were
published on February 8, 2016 (81 FR
6688) and on February 7, 2018 (83 FR
5317), which added more materials to
the list of categorical non-waste fuels.

annualized labor and $1,343 in

Abstract: Under the authority of
sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010 of
the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, EPA
revised the RCRA hazardous waste
permitting program to allow a
‘‘standardized permit.’’ The
standardized permit is available to
facilities that generate hazardous waste
and routinely manage the waste on-site
in non-thermal units such as tanks,
containers, and containment buildings.
In addition, the standardized permit is
available to facilities that receive
hazardous waste generated off-site by a
generator under the same ownership as
the receiving facility, and then store or
non-thermally treat the hazardous waste
in containers, tanks, or containment
buildings. The RCRA standardized
permit consists of two components: A
uniform portion that is included in all
cases, and a supplemental portion that
the Director of a regulatory agency
includes at his or her discretion. The
uniform portion consists of terms and
conditions, relevant to the unit(s) at the
permitted facility, and is established on
a national basis. The Director, at his or
her discretion, may also issue a
supplemental portion on a case-by-case
basis. The supplemental portion
imposes site-specific permit terms and
conditions that the Director determines
necessary to institute corrective action
under section 264.101 (or state
equivalent), or otherwise necessary to
protect human health and the
environment. Owners and operators
have to comply with the terms and
conditions in the supplemental portion,
in addition to those in the uniform
portion.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
business or other for-profit.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary (40 CFR 270.275).
Estimated number of respondents: 86.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 13,948 hours.
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,242,205 (per
year), includes $662,478 in annualized
labor and $579,727 in annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in estimates: The burden
hours are likely to stay substantially the
same.
