Abstract: In order for a State to obtain
final authorization for a State hazardous
waste program or to revise its previously
authorized program, it must submit an
official application to the EPA Regional
office for approval. The purpose of the
application is to enable the EPA to
properly determine whether the State’s
program meets the requirements of
§ 3006 of RCRA. A State with an
approved program may voluntarily
transfer program responsibilities to EPA
by notifying the EPA of the proposed
transfer, as required by section 271.23.
Further, the EPA may withdraw a
State’s authorized program under
section 271.23.
State program revision may be
necessary when the controlling Federal
or State statutory or regulatory authority
is modified or supplemented. In the
event that the State is revising its
program by adopting new Federal
requirements, the State shall prepare
and submit modified revisions of the
program description, Attorney General’s
statement, Memorandum of Agreement,
or such other documents as the EPA
determines to be necessary. The State
shall inform the EPA of any proposed
modifications to its basic statutory or
regulatory authority in accordance with
section 271.21. If a State is proposing to
transfer all or any part of any program
from the approved State agency to any
other agency, it must notify the EPA in
accordance with section 271.21 and
submit revised organizational charts as
required under section 271.6, in
accordance with section 271.21. These
paperwork requirements are mandatory
under § 3006(a). The EPA will use the

information submitted by the State in
order to determine whether the State’s
program meets the statutory and
regulatory requirements for
authorization.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: State/
territorial governments.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (RCRA § 3006(a)).
Estimated number of respondents: 50.
Frequency of response: Annual.
Total estimated burden: 10,794 hours
per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $427,536 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase in annual burden for this
renewal of 798 hours. The reason for
this increase is an increase in the
number of revision applications from 6
to 7. EPA expects that a greater number
of states will seek to revise their
authorization and receive approval from
EPA due greater emphasis on increasing
authorization progress and recent high
profile rulemakings.

Abstract: Owners and operators of
new or existing industrial, commercial,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
or institutional boilers are required to
comply with reporting and record
keeping requirements for the general
provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
as well as the applicable specific
standards in 40 CFR part 63 subpart
JJJJJJ. This includes submitting initial
notifications, performance tests,
biennial tune-ups, and periodic
compliance reports and results,
maintaining records of fuel usage, and
any period during which the control
system is inoperative. These reports are
used by EPA to determine compliance
with the standards.
Form Numbers: 5900–568.
Respondents/affected entities:
Owners and operators of new or existing
industrial, commercial, or institutional
boilers.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
JJJJJJ).
Estimated number of respondents:
64,344 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
annually, biennially.
Total estimated burden: 1,140,000
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $214,000,000
(per year), includes $78,700,000
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease in burden from the most
recently approved ICR as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This is due to
several considerations. The primary
reason for the decrease in burden is a
decrease in the estimated number of
respondents using liquid-fueled boilers.
U.S. Energy Information Administration
data indicates the consumption of fuel
oil in the commercial sector has
decreased by 33 percent in the past 9
years and is anticipated to decrease by
1 percent per year for the next three
years. This ICR assumes that this
decrease in consumption corresponds to
an equivalent decrease in the number of
small and large boilers firing liquid
fuels and adjusts the number of small
liquid-fired and large liquid-fired
boilers and respondents accordingly.
This ICR assumes that, due to the
decrease in respondents over the past
nine years, no new liquid-fired boilers
were constructed during that time
period. The decrease in the estimated
number of respondents firing liquid
fuels resulted in a decrease in labor
burden for the small and large liquidfired categories. The estimated decrease
in the number of respondents firing
liquid fuels also results in a decrease of
the number of liquid-fired sources
required to do periodic stack testing and
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
15421
operate ESPs. This results in a
significant decrease in periodic stack
testing and O&M costs for large liquidfired boilers constructed since the rule
was promulgated in June 2010. This ICR
assumes that growth in the small and
large solid-fueled categories will
continue according to past trends. The
increase in the estimated number of
respondents firing solid fuels resulted in
an increase in labor burden and capital/
O&M costs for the small and large solidfired categories. This ICR also corrects
mathematical errors in the calculation of
O&M costs for respondents firing solid
fuels and required to perform triennial
stack testing for Hg, CO, and PM. This
correction results in an increase of
capital and O&M costs. However, the
overall results of the adjustments to this
ICR is a decrease in burden and capital
and O&M costs.
