Title: Hazardous Waste Generator 

Standards (Renewal). 

Abstract: Under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 

as amended, Congress directed the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency to 

implement a comprehensive program 

for the safe management of hazardous 

waste. The core of the national waste 

management program is the regulation 

of hazardous waste from generation to 

transport to treatment and eventual 

64050 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 3, 2004 / Notices 

disposal, or from ‘‘cradle to grave.’’

Section 3001(d) of RCRA requires EPA 

to develop standards for small quantity 

generators. Section 3002 of RCRA 

among other things states that EPA shall 

establish requirements for hazardous 

waste generators regarding 

recordkeeping practices. Section 3002 

also requires EPA to establish standards 

on appropriate use of containers by 

generators.

Finally, Section 3017 of RCRA 

specifies requirements for individuals 

exporting hazardous waste from the 

United States, including a notification 

of the intent to export, and an annual 

report summarizing the types, 

quantities, frequency, and ultimate 

destination of all exported hazardous 

waste. 

This ICR addresses the following 

categories of informational requirements 

in part 262: Pre-transport requirements 

for both large (LQG) and small (SQG) 

quantity generators; air emission 

standards requirements for LQGs 

(referenced in 40 CFR part 265, subparts 

I and J); recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements for LQGs and SQGs; and 

export requirements for LQGs and SQGs 

(i.e., notification of intent to export and 

annual reporting). 

This collection of information is 

necessary to help generators and EPA: 

(1) Identify and understand the waste 

streams being generated and the hazards 

associated with them; (2) determine 

whether employees have acquired the 

necessary expertise to perform their 

jobs; and (3) determine whether LQGs 

have developed adequate procedures to 

respond to unplanned sudden or nonsudden releases of hazardous waste or 

hazardous constituents to air, soil, or 

surface water. This information is also 

needed to help EPA determine whether 

tank systems are operated in a manner 

that is fully protective of human health 

and the environment and to ensure that 

releases to the environment are 

managed quickly and efficiently. 

Additionally, this information 

contributes to EPA’s goal of preventing 

contamination of the environment from 

hazardous waste accumulation 

practices, including contamination from 

equipment leaks and process vents. 

Export information is needed to ensure 

that: (1) Foreign governments consent to 

U.S. exported wastes; (2) exported waste 

is actually managed at facilities listed in 

the original notifications; and (3) 

documents are available for compliance 

audits and enforcement actions. In 

general, these requirements contribute 

to EPA’s goal of preventing 

contamination of the environment. 

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 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The average public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

LQGs under this collection of 

information is estimated to be 13.18 

hours (averaged across all LQG 

respondents). The average public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

SQGs under this collection of 

information is estimated to be 1.22 

hours (averaged across all SQG 

respondents). 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; 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Hazardous Waste generators; Hazardous 

Waste transporters who co-mingle waste 

with different Department of 

Transportation descriptions; and 

Importers/Exporters of hazardous waste. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

124,382. 

Frequency of Response: Occasionally 

and biennially. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

455,387. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost:

$28,532,136, includes $22,770 in 

annualized capital costs, $33,524 in 

O&M costs, and $28,475,842 in 

Respondent Labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 29,749 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is a result due 

primarily to a decrease in the universe 

of facilities affected by the hazardous 

waste generator rules.
