Abstract: In response to the FY2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act (H.R. 2764; Pub. L. 110–161) and under authority of the Clean Air Act, the EPA finalized the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule (GHG Reporting Rule) (74 FR 56260; October 30, 2009). The GHG Reporting Rule, which became effective on December 29, 2009, establishes reporting requirements for certain large facilities and suppliers. It does not require control of greenhouse gases. Instead, it requires that sources emitting greenhouse gases, supplying certain products that contain greenhouse gases, or injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) underground in quantities above certain threshold levels, to monitor and report annual emissions in amounts of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Subsequent rules have promulgated requirements for additional facilities, suppliers, and mobile sources; provided clarification and corrections to existing requirements; finalized CBI determinations; amended recordkeeping requirements; and implemented an alternative verification approach. Collectively, the GHG Reporting Rule and its associated rulemakings are referred to as the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP). The purpose for this ICR is to renew and revise the GHG Reporting Rule ICR to update and consolidate the burdens and costs imposed by the current ICR under the GHGRP. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Facilities emitting GHGs, supplying certain products that contain GHGs, or injecting CO2 underground in quantities above certain threshold levels of CO2e. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q). Estimated number of respondents (annual average): 12,434. Frequency of response: Annually. Total estimated burden: 705,554 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $95,175,521 (per year), which includes $33,282,257 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is a decrease of 34,458 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the last ICR VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:27 Mar 27, 2024 Jkt 262001 21517 renewal. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.07 hours per response. The last ICR estimated an average burden of 0.08 hours per response. This change in burden reflects an adjustment in the number of respondents from projected to actual and an adjustment of labor rates, capital, and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs to reflect 2021 dollars. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide information to or for a Federal Agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions, develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information; processing and maintaining information; and disclosing and providing information; adjusting the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; training personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; searching data sources; completing and reviewing the collection of information; and transmitting or otherwise disclosing the information.

    Abstract: Under the authority of the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended,

[[Page 21518]]

Congress directed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to 
implement a comprehensive program for the safe management of hazardous 
waste. In addition, Congress wrote that ``[a]ny person may petition the 
Administrator for the promulgation, amendment or repeal of any 
regulation'' under RCRA (section 7004(a)). 40 CFR parts 260 and 261 
contain provisions that allow regulated entities to apply for 
petitions, variances, exclusions, and exemptions from various RCRA 
requirements.
    The following are some examples of information required from 
petitioners under 40 CFR part 260. Under 40 CFR 260.20(b), all 
rulemaking petitioners must submit basic information with their 
demonstrations, including name, address, and statement of interest in 
the proposed action. When a petition is submitted, the Agency reviews 
materials, deliberates, publishes its tentative decision in the Federal 
Register, and requests public comment. The EPA also may hold informal 
public hearings (if requested by an interested person or at the 
discretion of the Administrator) to hear oral comments on its tentative 
decision. After evaluating all comments, the EPA publishes its final 
decision in the Federal Register.
    With this renewal, this ICR will no longer include the burden 
associated with the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) from 
electric utilities as solid waste under Subtitle D of RCRA, found at 40

    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are the private sector, as well as State, Local, or Tribal 
Governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a 
benefit (RCRA Sections 1008, 4004, 4005(a)).
    Estimated number of respondents: 2,603.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 62,778 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 
1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,679,180, which includes $8,860,784 in 
annualized capital and O&M costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is total decrease of 240,430 hours 
in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR 
currently approved by OMB. There is a decrease of 175,319 hours as the 
hours associated with the information collection requirements for the 
disposal of CCR from this ICR were transferred to 2050-0223 in order to 
better align the collection requirements as they relate to RCRA and the

is an adjustment to the existing estimates based on data gathered 
through consultations with EPA Regional and State Offices and the 
regulated community, not due to program changes.
