Abstract: Section 3004 of the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA), as amended, requires the 

EPA to develop standards for hazardous 

waste treatment, storage, and disposal 

facilities (TSDFs) as may be necessary to 

protect human health and the 

environment. Subsections 3004(a)(1), 

(3), (4), (5), and (6) specify that these 

standards include, but not be limited to, 

the following requirements: 

• Maintaining records of all 

hazardous wastes identified or listed 

under subtitle C that are treated, stored, 

or disposed of, and the manner in which 

such wastes were treated, stored, or 

disposed of; 

• Operating methods, techniques, and 

practices for treatment, storage, or 

disposal of hazardous waste; 

• Location, design, and construction 

of such hazardous waste treatment, 

disposal, or storage facilities; 

• Contingency plans for effective 

action to minimize unanticipated 

damage from any treatment, storage, or 

disposal of any such hazardous waste; 

and 

• Maintaining or operating such 

facilities and requiring such additional 

qualifications as to ownership, 

continuity of operation, training for 

personnel, and financial responsibility 

as may be necessary or desirable. 

The regulations implementing these 

requirements are codified in 40 CFR 

parts 264 and 265. The collection of this 

information enables the EPA to properly 

determine whether owners/operators or 

hazardous waste treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities meet the requirements 

of Section 3004(a) of RCRA. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Business and other for-profit, as well as 

State, Local, and Tribal governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (RCRA section 3004). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,191. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 558,042 

hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $37,504,209 (per 

year), which includes $337,223 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is 

decrease of 25,195 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is not due to a 

program change, but is due to the 

Agency’s push to have facilities leave 

interim status and enter permitted 

status, as well as facilities wishing to 

close to enter post-closure status. This 

has led to a dramatic decrease in the 

number of interim status facilities, as 

well as increased the number of 

facilities in post-closure.

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board 

(SAB) Staff Office requests public 

nominations of scientific experts to form 

a Panel to review the BenMAP model, 

an open-source computer program that 

calculates estimated air pollutionrelated deaths and illnesses and their 

associated economic value. BenMAP is 

a shorthand title referring to the 

Environmental Benefits Mapping and 

Analysis Program. The Panel will 

review the latest available public release 

version of the BenMAP software. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by December 29, 2020 per the 

instructions below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing further 

information regarding this notice and 

request for nominations may contact Dr. 

Holly Stallworth, Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory 

Board via telephone/voice mail (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB (42 U.S.C. 4365) 

is a chartered Federal Advisory 

Committee that provides independent 

scientific and technical peer review, 

advice, and recommendations to the 

EPA Administrator on the technical 

basis for EPA actions. As a Federal 

Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts 

business in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 

U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. 

The SAB Staff Office is forming an 

expert panel, the BenMAP Review Panel 

under the auspices of the Chartered 

SAB. The BenMAP Review Panel will 

provide advice through the chartered 

SAB. The SAB and the BenMAP Review 

Panel will comply with the provisions 

of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. The BenMAP 

Review Panel will conduct the review of 

BenMAP as requested by the EPA’s 

Office of Air and Radiation. 

Technical Contact for EPA’s draft 

report: For information concerning 

BenMAP-Community Edition v1.5,

Software development (including C#/ 

.Net and SQL databases); Geographic 

Information Systems and Geostatistics; 

Demographics; Risk Assessment; 

Statistics/Biostatistics; Photochemical 

Air Quality Modeling; Economics/NonMarket Valuation. The Panel will be 

asked to examine the C# code in 

BenMAP and independently validate 

results so panelists will need the 

appropriate software experience and 

general risk assessment experience to 

conduct this review. Questions 

regarding this advisory activity should 

be directed to the DFO, Dr. Holly 

Stallworth, listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

The EPA SAB Staff Office will 

acknowledge receipt of nominations. 

The names and biosketches of qualified 

nominees identified by respondents to 

this Federal Register notice, and 

additional experts identified by the SAB 

Staff Office, will be posted in a List of 

Candidates for the Panel on the SAB 

website at http://www.epa.gov/sab. 

Public comments on the List of 

Candidates will be accepted for 15 days. 

The public will be requested to provide 

relevant information or other 

documentation on nominees that the 

SAB Staff Office should consider in 

evaluating candidates. 

For the EPA SAB Staff Office a 

balanced review panel includes 

candidates who possess the necessary 

domains of knowledge, the relevant 

scientific perspectives (which, among 

other factors, can be influenced by work 

history and affiliation), and the 

collective breadth of experience to 

adequately address the charge. In 

forming the expert panel, the SAB Staff 

Office will consider public comments 

on the List of Candidates, information 

provided by the candidates themselves, 

and background information 

independently gathered by the SAB 

Staff Office. Selection criteria to be used 

for panel membership include: (a) 

Scientific and/or technical expertise, 

knowledge, and experience (primary 

factors); (b) availability and willingness 

to serve; (c) absence of financial 

conflicts of interest; (d) absence of an 

appearance of a loss of impartiality; (e) 

skills working in committees, 

subcommittees and advisory panels; 

and, (f) for the panel as a whole, 

diversity of expertise and scientific 

points of view. 

The SAB Staff Office’s evaluation of 

an absence of financial conflicts of 

interest will include a review of the 

‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Form for Environmental Protection 

Agency Special Government 

Employees’’ (EPA Form 3110–48). This 

confidential form allows government 

officials to determine whether there is a 

statutory conflict between a person’s 

public responsibilities (which include 

membership on an EPA federal advisory 

committee) and private interests and 

activities, or the appearance of a loss of 

impartiality, as defined by federal 

regulation. The form may be viewed and 

downloaded from the following URL

The approved policy under which the 

EPA SAB Office selects members for 

subcommittees and review panels is 

described in the following document:
