Abstract: This Information Collection Request covers recordkeeping and reporting activities for the hazardous waste manifest paper and electronic system, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act (Pub. L. 112–195). EPA’s authority to require use of a manifest system stems primarily from RCRA 3002(a)(5) (also RCRA Sections 3003(a)(3) and 3004). Regulations are found in 40 CFR part 262 (registrant organizations and generators), part 263 (transporters), and parts 264 and 265 (TSDFs). The manifest lists the wastes that are being shipped and the treatment, storage, or disposal facility (TSDF) to which the wastes are bound. Generators, transporters, and TSDFs handling hazardous waste are required to complete the data requirements for manifests and other reports primarily to: (1) Track each shipment of hazardous waste from the generator to a designated facility; (2) provide information requirements sufficient to allow the use of a manifest in lieu of a Department of Transportation (DOT) shipping paper or bill of lading, thereby reducing the duplication of paperwork to the regulated community; (3) provide information to transporters and waste management facility workers on the VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:08 May 29, 2019 Jkt 247001 hazardous nature of the waste; (4) inform emergency response teams of the waste’s hazard in the event of an accident, spill, or leak; and (5) ensure that shipments of hazardous waste are managed properly and delivered to their designated facilities. The Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act provided EPA authority to establish the national electronic hazardous waste manifest system to track hazardous waste shipments electronically. The Act also provided EPA authority to adopt regulations that (1) allow it to accept electronic-manifests originated in the eManifest system as the legal equivalent to paper manifests; (2) require manifest users to submit paper copies of the manifest to the system for data processing; (3) collect manifests in the e-Manifest system for hazardous waste subject to federal or state law; and (4) set up user fees to offset the costs of developing and operating the e-Manifest system. Pursuant to the Act, EPA modified the manifest regulations on February 7, 2014 (The e-Manifest ‘‘One Year Rule’’), to authorize use of electronic manifests (or e-Manifests) for tracking offsite shipments of hazardous waste from a generator’s site to the site of the receipt and disposition of the hazardous waste. On January 3, 2018, EPA finalized the e-Manifest User Fee Final Rule which established the fee methodology that EPA uses to determine the user fees applicable to the electronic and paper manifests submitted to the national system. EPA launched the e-Manifest system on June 30, 2018. TSDF and other receiving facilities must submit manifests, both paper and electronic, to EPA. In addition to fees for RCRA wastes, EPA is charging TSDFs and other facilities receiving state-only regulated wastes a fee for each manifest submitted to the system. Regulations regarding copy submission requirements for interstate shipments and the applicability of e-Manifest system and fees to facilities receiving state-only regulated wastes are found in 40 CFR part 260 (Hazardous Waste Management System). Regulations regarding imposition of user fees on receiving facilities for their manifest submissions, with references to key fee methodology, fee dispute, and fee sanction requirements are found in Parts 264 and 265. Form Numbers: Form 8700–22 and 8700–22A. Respondents/affected entities: Business or other for-profit. Respondent’s obligation to respond: mandatory (RCRA 3002(a)(5)). PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Estimated number of respondents: 215,677. Frequency of response: Each Shipment. Total estimated burden: 2,502,500 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $129,951,112 (per year), includes $25,768,668 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease of 136,710 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB, resulting from EPA’s updates to the annual number of paper and electronic manifests offered into transportation. EPA ascertained data on the actual number of manifests as compiled by the e-Manifest system. In addition, there was a decrease of $12,951,112 in O&M costs from the currently approved ICR, resulting from EPA’s adjustment to the user fees paid by destination facilities.
