Abstract: Section 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, requires the EPA to develop standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) as may be necessary to protect human health and the environment. Subsections 3004(a)(1), (3), (4), (5), and (6) specify that these standards include, but not be limited to, the following requirements: • Maintaining records of all hazardous wastes identified or listed under subtitle C that are treated, stored, or disposed of, and the manner in which such wastes were treated, stored, or disposed of; • Operating methods, techniques, and practices for treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste; • Location, design, and construction of such hazardous waste treatment, disposal, or storage facilities; • Contingency plans for effective action to minimize unanticipated damage from any treatment, storage, or disposal of any such hazardous waste; and • Maintaining or operating such facilities and requiring such additional qualifications as to ownership, continuity of operation, training for personnel, and financial responsibility as may be necessary or desirable. The regulations implementing these requirements are codified in 40 CFR parts 264 and 265. The collection of this information enables the EPA to properly determine whether owners/operators or hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities meet the requirements of Section 3004(a) of RCRA. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Business and other for-profit, as well as State, Local, and Tribal governments. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:56 Apr 26, 2019 Jkt 247001 Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA section 3004) Estimated number of respondents: 1466 respondents. Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 583,237 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $38,918,717 (per year), which includes $408,235 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease of 89,108 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to a decrease in the number of permitted facilities. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–182) authorized the creation of the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF; the Fund) program in each state and Puerto Rico, to assist public water systems in financing the costs of infrastructure needed to achieve or maintain compliance with the SDWA requirements and to protect public health. The SDWA, section 1452, authorizes the Administrator of the EPA to award capitalization grants to the states and Puerto Rico which, in turn, provide low-cost loans and other types of assistance to eligible drinking water systems. States can also reserve a portion of their grants to conduct various set-aside activities. The information collection activities will occur primarily at the program level through the (1) Capitalization Grant Application and Agreement/State Intended Use Plan; (2) Biennial Report; (3) Annual Audit; (4) Assistance Application Review; and (5) DWSRF National Information Management E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM 29APN1 18022 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 82 / Monday, April 29, 2019 / Notices System and the Projects and Benefits Reporting System. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities affected by this action are states and local governments. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit per the Safe Drinking Water Act Section 1452(g)(1). Estimated number of respondents: 379 state and local respondents (total). Frequency of response: Varies by requirement (i.e., quarterly, semiannually, and annually). Total estimated burden: 88,793 hours (per year) for state and local respondents. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $3,355,516 (per year) for state and local respondents. Changes in estimates: There is a net decrease in total respondent burden hours from the previous ICR. This is due to burden calculated with alternating 25 states and 26 states each year producing biennial reports. Since ICR’s capture 3year timeframes, some ICRs will have more years of 26 state reports then other. There is also a correction to the calculation of EPA burden hours. These have been increased to more accurately align EPA review of audits with State burden of audits, with both tables assuming each state will audit every year.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), for which Construction, Re-construction, or Modification Commenced after May 14, PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2007 (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ja) apply to the following affected facilities in petroleum refineries: Fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCU), fluid coking units (FCU), delayed coking units, fuel gas combustion devices (FGCD), process heaters, flares and sulfur recovery plants. Except for flares, these regulations apply to affected facilities at existing and new petroleum refineries that are constructed, reconstructed, or modified after May 14, 2007. The provisions of this subpart apply to flares which commence construction, modification or reconstruction after June 24, 2008. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ja. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/ operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain 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 notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Petroleum refineries constructed, reconstructed, or modified after May 14, 2007. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart Ja). Estimated number of respondents: 150 (total). Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 355,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $143,000,000 (per year), which includes $102,000,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The adjustment increase in burden from the most recently-approved ICR is due to an increase in the estimates for the number of existing facilities located at petroleum refineries that become subject to the requirements of Subpart Ja because they are newly constructed, reconstructed or modified. The previous ICR renewal estimated that approximately 54 facilities with 2 CEMS each would become affected facilities subject to the rule each year. In this renewal ICR, that estimate has been increased to 100 facilities with 3 CEMS/ CPMS each. The increase in burden is E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM 29APN1
