SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

How can I access the docket and/or 

submit comments? 

EPA has established a public docket 

for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA– 

HQ–RCRA–2011–0280, which is 

available for online viewing at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, or in person 

viewing at the RCRA Docket in the EPA 

Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, 

Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., 

NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC 

Public Reading Room is open from 8 

a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, excluding legal holidays. The 

telephone number for the Reading Room 

is (202) 566–1744, and the telephone 

number for RCRA Docket is (202) 566– 

0270. 

Use http://www.regulations.gov to 

obtain a copy of the draft collection of 

information, submit or view public 

comments, access the index listing of 

the contents of the docket, and to access 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the docket ID number identified in this 

document. 

What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

to: 

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(iv) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

In addition, EPA is requesting 

comments on some proposed changes to 

the Hazardous Waste Report form and 

instructions designed to clarify longstanding points of confusion. Some of 

these changes are scheduled for the 

2011 booklet, some for the 2013 booklet. 

The proposed changes can be found in 

a draft Hazardous Waste Report From 

and Instructions booklet in the docket 

for this notice. 

What should I consider when I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are business or 

other for-profit as well as State, Local, 

or Tribal governments. 

Title: Hazardous Waste Report, 

Notification of Regulated Waste 

Activity, and Part A Hazardous Waste 

Permit Application and Modification. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0976.15, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0024. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on November 30, 

2011. An Agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information, 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed 

either by publication in the Federal 

Register or by other appropriate means, 

such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: This ICR will combine two 

separate ICRs into one: the ‘‘Notification 

of Regulated Waste Activity and 2011 

Hazardous Waste Report’’ ICR and the 

‘‘RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit 

Application and Modification, Part A’’ 

ICR (currently EPA ICR number 

0262.11, OMB control number 2050– 

0034). 

Both Sections 3002 and 3004 of RCRA 

require EPA to establish standards for 

recordkeeping and reporting of 

hazardous waste generation and 

management. Section 3002 applies to 

hazardous waste generators and Section 

3004 applies to hazardous waste 

treatment, storage, and disposal 

facilities. In addition, Sections 3002 and 

3004 require the submission of a report, 

at least every 2 years, of the quantity 

and nature of hazardous waste 

generated and managed during one year. 

This is mandatory reporting. The 

information for the required reporting 

year (every odd year) is collected via a 

mechanism known as the Hazardous 

Waste Report (EPA Form 8700–13 A/B). 

This form is also known as the ‘‘Biennial 

Report’’ form. 

Section 3010 of RCRA requires any 

person who generates or transports 

regulated waste or who owns or 

operates a facility for the treatment, 

storage, or disposal of regulated waste to 

notify EPA of their activities, including 

the location and general description of 

activities and the regulated wastes 

handled. The facility is then issued an 

EPA Identification number. The 

facilities are required to use the 

Notification Form (EPA Form 8700–12) 

to notify EPA of their hazardous waste 

activities. This form is also known as 

the ‘‘Notification’’ form. 

Section 3005 of RCRA requires 

treatment, storage, and disposal 

facilities (TSDFs) to obtain a permit. To 

obtain the permit, the TSDF must 

submit an application describing the 

facility’s operation. There are two parts 

to the RCRA permit application—Part A 

and Part B. The RCRA Hazardous Waste 

Part A Permit Application form (EPA 

Form 8700–23) defines the processes to 

be used for treatment, storage, and 

disposal of hazardous wastes; the design 

capacity of such processes; and the 

specific hazardous wastes to be handled 

at the facility. This form is also known 

as the ‘‘Part A’’ form. [Part B requires 

detailed site specific information such 

as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering 

data. There is no form for Part B, and 

the burden is covered under a separate 

ICR.] 

The information from all three forms 

is entered into a national database. EPA 

uses the information to identify the 

universe of regulated waste generators, 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
17416 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 29, 2011 / Notices 

handlers, and managers and their 

specific regulated waste activities. EPA 

also uses this information to ensure that 

regulated waste is managed properly, 

that statutory provisions are upheld, 

and that regulations are adhered to by 

facility owners or operators. 

Burden Statement: The annual 

reporting burden for the 2011 

Hazardous Waste Report is estimated to 

average 17 hours per respondent, and 

includes time for reviewing 

instructions, gathering data, completing 

and reviewing the forms, and submitting 

the report. The recordkeeping 

requirement is estimated to average 4 

hours per response and includes the 

time for filing and storing the 2011 

Hazardous Waste Report submission for 

three years. 

The annual public reporting and 

recordkeeping burden for the 

Notification of Regulated Waste Activity 

is estimated to average 2 hours per 

response for the initial notification, and 

1 hour per response for any subsequent 

notifications. 

The annual public reporting and 

recordkeeping burden for the Part A 

Permit Application is estimated to 

average 25 hours per response for an 

initial application and 13 hours per 

response for a revised application. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or 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; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 56,800. 

Frequency of response: Biennially, 

and on occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: Varies. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

422,633 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$16,540,823. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $16,339,984 in 

annualized labor cost and $200,839 for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Settlement Agreement 

The proposed settlement agreement 

would resolve a lawsuit seeking to 

compel action by the Administrator to 

make findings of failure to submit on 

certain SIPs under the CAA. The 

proposed settlement agreement requires 

EPA to sign for publication in the 

Federal Register no later than May 31, 

2011 findings of failure to submit such 

SIPs for the Las Vegas, Nevada and the 

Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley, Pennsylvania 

1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas. 

EPA will no longer be obligated to make 

such finding for the area if prior to May 

31, 2001 it takes one of the following 

actions for the area: (1) EPA takes final 

action on its proposed rule to classify 

the area under Title I, part D, subpart 2 

of the CAA; (2) EPA takes final action 

redesignating the area to attainment or 

unclassifiable; or (3) EPA signs a final 

rule making a determination that the 

area has attained the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS. If EPA fulfills its obligations, 

Plaintiff has agreed to dismiss this suit 

with prejudice. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

consent decree from persons who were 

not named as parties or intervenors to 

the litigation in question. EPA or the 

Department of Justice may withdraw or 

withhold consent to the proposed
