AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this document 

announces that EPA is planning to 

submit a request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

renew an existing approved Information 

Collection Request (ICR) concerning 

standards for laboratories owned by 

eligible academic entities. This ICR is 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. 

Before submitting the ICR to OMB for 

review and approval, EPA is soliciting 

comments on specific aspects of the 

proposed information collection as 

described below. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before May 21, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

RCRA–2012–0163, by one of the 

following methods: 

• www.regulations.gov: Follow the 

on-line instructions for submitting 

comments. 

• Email: rcra-docket@epa.gov. 

• Fax: 202–566–9744. 

• Mail: RCRA Docket (28221T), U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 

Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, 

DC 20460. 

• Hand Delivery: 1301 Constitution 

Ave. NW., Room 3334, Washington, DC 

20460. Such deliveries are only

hours of operation, and special 

arrangements should be made for 

deliveries of boxed information. 

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–RCRA–2012– 

0163. EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or email. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov your 

email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. For additional information 

about EPA’s public docket visit the EPA 

Docket Center homepage at http://

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–

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 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. 

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.

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. 

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: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized 

an alternative set of generator 

requirements applicable to laboratories 

owned by eligible academic entities, as 

defined in the final rule. The rule, 

which establishes a new Subpart K 

within 40 CFR part 262, provides a 

flexible and protective set of regulations 

that address the specific nature of 

hazardous waste generation and 

accumulation in laboratories owned by 

colleges and universities, and teaching 

hospitals and non-profit research 

institutes that are either owned by or 

formally affiliated with a college or 

university. In addition, the final rule 

allows colleges and universities and 

these other eligible academic entities 

formally affiliated with a college or 

university the discretion to determine 

the most appropriate and effective 

method of compliance with these 

requirements by allowing them the 

choice of managing their hazardous 

wastes in accordance with the new 

alternative regulations as set forth in 

Subpart K or remaining subject to the 

existing generator regulations. 

Burden Statement: The hourly 

reporting burden associated with the 

final rule is estimated to be 10 minutes 

per respondent. This includes time for 

preparing and submitting a Site 

Identification Form to opt into Subpart 

K. The hourly recordkeeping burden 

associated with the final rule is 

estimated to be approximately 130 

hours per respondent. This includes 

time for reading the regulations, labeling 

containers, and preparing and 

maintaining specified documents (e.g., 

Laboratory Management Plan). 

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: 112. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 6,429. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

14,459 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$$562,079, which includes $516,116 

annualized labor costs and $45,963 

annualized capital or O&M 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
