Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 19, 2021 / Notices 5193 

information must be included so that 

the potential for releases, and proposed 

inspection and monitoring, can be 

evaluated by EPA. 

While the unit(s) to be evaluated 

under this guidance are the temporary 

waste piles, petitioners should also 

submit information related to the 

landfill to the extent the information 

aids in any demonstration that 

hazardous constituents will not migrate 

beyond the boundary of the temporary 

waste pile. For example, hazardous 

waste landfill design and operating 

requirements (40 CFR 264.301) include 

run-on and run-off controls that may be 

important in any demonstration that 

hazardous waste will not migrate from 

the pile. The specific location of where 

the temporary waste piles will be placed 

within the landfill cell should be 

identified in the petition, together with 

any pertinent information as to why this 

location was selected and how it will 

prevent the migration of hazardous 

constituents from the pile. These 

locations will be identified as part of 

any approved variance. 

This document only applies where 

wastes managed in the temporary waste 

piles have been treated with the 

expectation that the waste meets the 

applicable LDR standards for permanent 

disposal in the landfill. A facility 

should include information about what 

types and quantities of waste are to be 

managed in the temporary waste piles 

and what treatment standards apply. 

Most of this information is presumed to 

already be available as part of the 

facility’s WAP and associated program 

for sampling and monitoring for 

compliance with the LDRs. 

Duration of Temporary Storage—The 

NMV is necessary to ensure that any 

temporary storage of treated hazardous 

waste complies with the stringent 

statutory and regulatory standards in 

those instances where the hazardous 

waste that was treated and placed in a 

temporary waste pile does not meet 

LDRs. The approach described in this 

document is conditioned upon the 

temporary nature of the storage of 

treated hazardous waste within the 

landfill, and is intended for situations 

where the temporary waste piles are 

used as part of an overall strategy to 

confirm consistent and compliant 

treatment that meets the applicable LDR 

treatment standards. 

The petition should include a 

description of the length of time the 

waste is managed in the pile before 

either transfer to the working face of the 

landfill, or removal for retreatment, if 

necessary. A range of time may be 

provided, but EPA emphasizes that the 

temporary nature of the pile must be 

clearly characterized in the petition, 

such as through maximum storage times 

or other procedures described in the 

application, that may become part of the 

conditions established in an approved 

variance. 

However, if any particular staging 

location routinely receives treated waste 

that does not meet applicable LDR 

standards, then the ‘‘temporary’’ aspect 

of storage for a given location may be 

called into question, which could affect 

the ability for EPA to grant the NMV. 

This also raises the separate question of 

whether the overall treatment process is 

operating as well as it should. 

Therefore, it is important for the 

petition to describe in sufficient detail 

the procedures used to treat, test, and 

confirm that wastes meet LDR 

standards, and how this information 

will be used to determine when a pile 

will be removed either for retreatment, 

or for final disposal. Such information 

should be available as part of the 

facility’s WAP and may include: 

• Number and type (e.g., random 

grab) of samples taken after treatment 

for LDR compliance; 

• Methodology used to select number 

and type of samples; 

• Level of confidence that all waste is 

treated to LDR treatment standards 

(level of confidence related to number of 

samples achieving LDRs); 

• List of regulated constituents (suite 

of metals, selected organics, cyanide). 

Monitoring Plan—40 CFR 268.6(a)(4) 

requires a petition to include a 

monitoring plan to verify continued 

compliance with the conditions of the 

no migration variance. Pursuant to 40 

CFR 268.6(a)(4), the monitoring plan 

must be designed to detect migration ‘‘at 

the earliest practicable time.’’ 40 CFR 

268.6(c) lays out the specific 

information required in the monitoring 

plan. In addition to these requirements, 

the monitoring plan should also 

describe the sampling and analysis of 

the treated waste that determines when 

the temporary waste pile will be moved 

to the working face of the landfill for 

final disposal. The demonstration 

should allow EPA to understand the 

process and timing of LDR treatment 

and confirmation that LDRs are met; this 

is fundamental to defining the scope 

and duration of storing treated waste 

temporarily.

Overview of Information Collection 

Collection Title: State and Local 

Government Information (EEO–4). 

OMB-Number: 3046–0008. 

Frequency of Report: Biennial, odd 

years. 

Type of Respondent: State and local 

governments with 100 or more 

employees within the 50 U.S. states and 

District of Columbia. 

Description of Affected Public: State 

and local governments with 100 or more 

employees within the 50 U.S. states and 

District of Columbia. 

Reporting Hours: 95,542 per biennial 

collection. 

Respondent Cost: $4,719,509.02 per 

biennial collection. 

Federal Cost: $386,609.20 per 

biennial collection. 

Number of Respondents: 5,687. 

Number of Responses: 13,649. 

Number of Forms: 1. 

Form Number: EEOC Form 164. 

Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII of 

the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as 

amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e–8(c), requires 

State and local governments to make 

and keep records relevant to a 

determination of whether unlawful 

employment practices have been or are 

being committed and produce reports 

required by the EEOC. Accordingly, the 

EEOC issued regulations, 29 CFR 

1602.30 and 1602.32–.37, which set 

forth the reporting requirements and 

related record retention policies for 

State and local governments. 29 CFR 

1602.30 requires every covered State 

and local government to make or keep 

all records necessary for completion of 

an EEO–4 submission and retain those 

records for three years. 29 CFR 1602.32 

requires filers to retain a copy of each 

filed EEO–4 report for three years. These 

requirements are related to record 

keeping which is part of standard 

administrative practices, and as a result, 

the EEOC believes that any impact on 

burden would be negligible and nearly 

impossible to quantify. State and local 

governments with 100 or more 

employees have been required to submit 

EEO–4 reports since 1974 (biennially 

since 1993). The EEOC uses EEO–4 data 

for research and to investigate charges of 

discrimination. The individual reports 

are confidential. 

Burden Statement: The methodology 

for calculating annual burden reflects 

the different staff that are responsible 

for preparing and filing the EEO–4. 

These estimates are based on the 

estimated submission time of 7 hours 

per reporting unit, as published in the 

2018 EEO–4 Information Collection 

Review as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act.1 The EEOC accounts for 

time to be spent biennially on EEO–4 

reporting by senior and administrative 

staff, as well as time spent by attorneys 

who may consult briefly during the 

reporting process. The estimated 

number of respondents included in the 

biennial EEO–4 survey is 5,687 State 

and local governments, as this is the 

average number of reporting units 

between 2005 and 2019. These 5,687 

respondents will submit an estimated 

13,649 reports during each biennial 

reporting cycle. The estimated hour 

burden per report will be 7 hours, and 

the estimated total biennial respondent 

burden hours will be 95,542. Burden 

hour cost was calculated using median 

hourly wage rates for administrative 

staff and legal counsel, and average 

hourly wage rates for State and local 

government staff. The burden hour cost 

per report will be $214.77, and the 

estimated total burden hour cost per 

biennial collection will be 

$4,719,509.02 (See Table 1 for 

calculations).

These estimates are based upon filers’ 

use of the EEO–4 online filing system to 

submit reports. The EEOC has made 

electronic submission much easier for 

respondents required to file the EEO–4 

Report and as a result, more 

respondents are using this electronic 

filing method. During the 2019 EEO–4 

data collection cycle, 4,988 EEO–4 filers 

completed and certified their 

submission. Of the 4,988 EEO–4 filers 

who submitted data in 2019, 5% 

uploaded a data file, 91% filed through 

the online application, and 4% 

submitted paper records. Electronic 

filing remains the most efficient, 

accurate, and secure means of reporting 

for respondents required to submit the 

EEO–4 report. Accordingly, the EEOC 

will continue to encourage EEO–4 filers 

to submit data through electronic filing, 

and will only accept paper records from 

filers who have secured permission to 

submit data via paper submission.
