Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and Approval; Comment Request; EPA Worker Protection Standards for Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (Renewal), 45759-45760 [2019-18733]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 169 / Friday, August 30, 2019 / Notices manufacturers, wholesale fuel distributors, energy generation facilities, etc. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 68). Estimated number of respondents: 13,009. Frequency of response: Sources must resubmit RMPs at least every five years and update certain on-site documentation more frequently. Total estimated burden: 66,793 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $4,864,537 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: This ICR includes an increase of 12,793 hours in the total estimated respondent burden for all sources and states compared to the ICR currently approved by OMB. There are two primary reasons for this increase in burden. First, this ICR period includes a larger number of RMPs reported than the previous ICR period. Second, the burden varies from ICR to ICR due to different resubmission deadlines based on the sources’ RMP resubmission deadlines and other regulatory deadlines. Therefore, the burden changes each year depending on how many sources are required to submit their RMP and comply with certain prevention program requirements. The number of sources subject to the regulations fluctuates regularly and is lower in this ICR than the previous ICR. However, any decrease in burden caused by the lower number of sources is offset by the increased burden from the major RMP reporting year. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: Section 126(f) of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) requires EPA to set worker protection standards for state and local employees engaged in hazardous waste operations and emergency response in the 27 states that do not have Occupational Safety and Health Administration approved state plans. The EPA coverage, as cited in 40 CRF 311, required to be identical to the OSHA standards, extends to three categories of employees: Those engaged in clean-ups at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, including corrective actions at Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD) facilities regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); employees working on routine hazardous waste operations at RCRA TSD facilities; and employees involved in emergency response operations without regard to location. This ICR renews existing mandatory record keeping collection of ongoing activities including monitoring of any potential employee exposure at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, maintaining records of employee training, refresher training, medical exams and reviewing emergency response plans. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are those state and local employees engaged in hazardous waste operations and emergency response in the 27 states that do not have Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) approved state plans. Respondent’s Obligation to respond: 40 CFR 311 has no reporting requirements. There are record keeping requirements by inference in Section (e) and by statute in Section (f)[8] of OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.120. Estimated total number of respondents: 1,115,213. Frequency of response: Varies per activity. Estimated total annual burden hours: 591,732 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $18,534,441, which is entirely labor costs. There are no capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Changes in Estimates: For this ICR, the annual burden hour estimate is 591,732 hours. This represents an increase in 336,255 hours from the previous ICR. There have been no programmatic changes or modifications to per-activity estimates; the burden increase is a result of corrections being E:\FR\FM\30AUN1.SGM 30AUN1 45760 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 169 / Friday, August 30, 2019 / Notices applied to the underlying calculations used in previous renewal packages.
