Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree The proposed consent decree would require the EPA to take action pursuant to CAA section 110(k) on an Arizona state implementation plan (SIP) submission. On May 31, 2012, pursuant to CAA section 107(d), EPA designated a portion of Pinal County in Arizona as nonattainment for the PM10 NAAQS, effective July 2, 2012. On December 21, 2015, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (‘‘ADEQ’’) submitted a SIP submission to EPA intended to meet the applicable Moderate nonattainment area plan requirements for the West Pinal nonattainment area. EPA determined that part of the SIP submission was complete on March 21, 2016, and EPA published a final rule approving that part of the SIP submission on May 1, 2017 (82 FR 20267). The proposed consent decree would require the Administrator, pursuant to CAA sections 110(k)(2)–(4), to take action on the remaining portion of Arizona’s December 21, 2015, nonattainment plan SIP submission that EPA did not previously address in the May 1, 2017, final action. Under the terms of the proposed consent decree, EPA shall sign a notice or notices of final rulemaking that approve, disapprove, conditionally approve, or approve in part and disapprove in part, the remaining portion of Arizona’s December 21, 2015, nonattainment plan SIP submission for the West Pinal area by July 30, 2021. For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this document, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the proposed consent decree. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed consent decree if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES4 III.

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. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA section 3004). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:11 Nov 30, 2020 Jkt 253001 Estimated number of respondents: 1,191. Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 558,042 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $37,504,209 (per year), which includes $337,223 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease of 25,195 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is not due to a program change, but is due to the Agency’s push to have facilities leave interim status and enter permitted status, as well as facilities wishing to close to enter post-closure status. This has led to a dramatic decrease in the number of interim status facilities, as well as increased the number of facilities in post-closure. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

    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.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA section 3004).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,191.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 558,042 hours per year. Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $37,504,209 (per year), which includes 
$337,223 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease of 25,195 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is not due to a program change, but is 
due to the Agency's push to have facilities leave interim status and 
enter permitted status, as well as facilities wishing to close to enter 
post-closure status. This has led to a dramatic decrease in the number 
of interim status facilities, as well as increased the number of 
facilities in post-closure.
