Environmental Protection Agency September 1, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, this document announces that an Information Collection Request (ICR) has been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. This is a request to renew an existing approved collection. This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2005. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. This ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its estimated burden and cost.

Notice is hereby given by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) that a modification of an exemption to the land disposal restrictions under the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) has been granted to Vickery Environmental, Inc. (VEI) of Vickery, Ohio. This modification allows VEI to continue to inject RCRA-regulated hazardous wastes designated as K181 wastes which will be banned from land disposal on August 23, 2005, as a result of regulations promulgated in the Federal Register (FR) on February 24, 2005 (70 FR 9138 et seq.) into four Class I injection wells at the Vickery, Ohio, facility. As required by 40 CFR part 148, VEI has demonstrated, to a reasonable degree of certainty, that there will be no migration of hazardous constituents from the injection zone utilized by VEI's waste disposal facility located near Vickery, Ohio, for as long as the newly- exempted waste remains hazardous. This decision constitutes a final Agency action for which there is no administrative appeal.
