Abstract: The Responsible Appliance Disposal Program (RAD) is a voluntary partnership program sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that reduces emissions of ozonedepleting substances (ODS) and their substitutes, including hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), that can be attributed to improper disposal of appliances. Appliances can contain ODS or HFC refrigerants and foams as well as universal wastes such as mercury, used oil, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). Federal law requires refrigerant recovery and proper management of universal waste but does not require the recovery of appliance foam. Foam blowing agents and refrigerants in appliances may also have high ozone-depletion and/or global warming potentials. The RAD program works with utilities, retailers, manufacturers, federal agencies/states/ municipalities, waste removal service providers, affiliates, and others to dispose of appliances using best environmental practices. Form numbers: 5900–481; 5900–482. Respondents/affected entities: The following is a list of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes for organizations potentially affected by the information requirements covered under this ICR are Utilities (2211), Manufacturers (3352), Retailers (449210), federal agencies/ states/municipalities (9924110), and Waste Removal Service Providers (56211). Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: 52 (over three years). Frequency of response: Annual, and when desired. Total estimated burden: 292 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $43,702 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in estimates: There is no change to the total estimated respondent burden compared with the 292 hours for the ICR currently approved by OMB. While the total number of respondents increased, the number of expected new Partners decreased. Therefore, the increase in burden associated with existing Partner activities is offset by the PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37535 decrease in burden associated with new Partner activities.
