of existing non-municipal nonhazardous waste disposal units that
receive conditionally exempt small
quantity generator (CESQG) hazardous
wastes. In order to effectively

Subpart B on a State level, owners/
operators of construction and
demolition waste landfills that receive
CESQG hazardous wastes have to
comply with the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.
Form numbers: None.

potentially affected by this action are
the private sector, as well as State,
Local, or Tribal Governments.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory under Section 4010(c) and
3001(d)(4) of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976.
Estimated number of respondents:
152.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 11,219 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,951,843 per
year, includes $374,184 annualized
labor and $1,577,659 annualized capital
or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is no
change of hours in the total estimated

Abstract: Continuous Release
Reporting Requirements (CRRR) under
Section 103(a) of CERCLA, as amended,
requires the person in charge of a vessel
or facility immediately to notify the
National Response Center (NRC) of a
hazardous substance release into the
environment if the amount of the release
equals or exceeds the substance’s
reportable quantity (RQ). If the source
and chemical composition of the
continuous release do not change and
the level of the continuous release does
not significantly increase, a follow-up
written report to the EPA Region one
year after submission of the initial
written report is also required. The
person in charge must notify the NRC
and EPA Region of a change in the
source or composition of the release,
and under section 103(a) of CERCLA, a
significant increase must be reported
immediately to the NRC. Finally, any
change in information submitted in
support of a continuous release
notification must be reported to the EPA
Region. Section 103(f)(2) of CERCLA
provides facilities relief from peroccurrence notification release
requirements if the subject release is
continuous and stable in quantity and
rate.
CRR allows the Federal government to
determine whether a Federal response
action is required to control or mitigate
any potential adverse effects to public
health, welfare or the environment. The
release information is also available to
EPA program offices and other Federal
agencies who evaluate the potential
need for additional regulations, new
permitting requirements for specific
substances or sources, or improved
emergency response planning. State and
local government authorities and
facilities subject to the CRRR use release
information for local emergency
response planning. The public, which
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:45 Nov 26, 2018
Jkt 247001
has access to release information
through the Freedom of Information
Act, may request release information on
what types of releases are occurring in
different localities and what actions, if
any, are being taken to protect public
health, welfare and the environment.
Form numbers: EPA Form 6100–10,
Continuous Release Reporting Form.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
not defined. The use and release of
hazardous substances are pervasive
throughout industry. EPA expects many
different industrial categories to report
hazardous substance releases under the
provisions of the CRRR. No one industry
sector or group of sectors is
disproportionately affected by the
information collection burden.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory if respondents want reduced
reporting for continuous releases.
Estimated number of respondents:
4,192.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 334,472
hours (average per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $19,797,899
(average per year), including $243,200
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs (average per year).
Changes in estimates: There is an
increase of 8,890 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase in burden results
primarily from use of data on the actual
number of continuous release reports
from several regions and applying a
growth rate consistent with prior years
reporting. The average annual percent
increase in facilities in the previous ICR
was approximately 7.5%. The same
percent increase was assumed for this
ICR. The unit burden hours per
respondent information collection
activity remains the same as the
previous ICR. In addition, this ICR
includes the requirements under EPCRA
section 304, which were inadvertently
omitted in the previous renewal.
