project purposes or who own homes 

within certain distances of aboveground 

facilities, and anyone who submits 

comments on the project. We will 

update the environmental mailing list as 

the analysis proceeds to ensure that we 

send the information related to this 

environmental review to all individuals, 

organizations, and government entities 

interested in and/or potentially affected 

by the proposed project. 

If we publish and distribute the EA, 

copies will be sent to the environmental 

mailing list for public review and 

comment. If you would prefer to receive 

a paper copy of the document instead of 

the CD version or would like to remove 

your name from the mailing list, please 

return the attached Information Request 

(appendix 2). 

Becoming an Intervenor 

In addition to involvement in the EA 

scoping process, you may want to 

become an ‘‘intervenor’’ which is an 

official party to the Commission’s 

proceeding. Intervenors play a more 

formal role in the process and are able 

to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be 

heard by the courts if they choose to 

appeal the Commission’s final ruling. 

An intervenor formally participates in 

the proceeding by filing a request to 

intervene. Instructions for becoming an 

intervenor are in the User’s Guide under 

the ‘‘e-filing’’ link on the Commission’s 

Web site. 

Additional Information 

Additional information about the 

project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs, 

at (866) 208–FERC, or on the FERC Web 

site at www.ferc.gov using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Click on the eLibrary 

link, click on ‘‘General Search’’ and 

enter the docket number, excluding the 

last three digits in the Docket Number 

field (i.e., CP15–14). Be sure you have 

selected an appropriate date range. For 

assistance, please contact FERC Online 

Support at FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov 

or toll free at (866) 208–3676, or for 

TTY, contact (202) 502–8659. The 

eLibrary link also provides access to the 

texts of formal documents issued by the 

Commission, such as orders, notices, 

and rulemakings. 

In addition, the Commission now 

offers a free service called eSubscription 

which allows you to keep track of all 

formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets. This can reduce the 

amount of time you spend researching 

proceedings by automatically providing 

you with notification of these filings, 

document summaries, and direct links 

to the documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/ 

docs-filing/esubscription.asp. 

Finally, public meetings or site visits 

will be posted on the Commission’s 

calendar located at www.ferc.gov/

EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along 

with other related information.

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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before April 20, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

RCRA–2014–0925, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to rcra-docket@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information the EPA will be 

collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

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

the PRA, the EPA is soliciting 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. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: This ICR covers 

recordkeeping and reporting activities 

for the hazardous waste manifest paper 

system, under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

EPA’s authority to require use of a 

manifest system stems primarily from 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Notices 8307 

RCRA 3002(a)(5) (also RCRA Sections 

3003(a)(3) and 3004.) Regulations are 

found in 40 CFR part 262 (registrant 

organizations and generators), part 263 

(transporters), and parts 264 and 265 

(TSDFs). The manifest lists the wastes 

that are being shipped and the 

treatment, storage, or disposal facility 

(TSDF) to which the wastes are bound. 

Generators, transporters, and TSDFs 

handling hazardous waste are required 

to complete the data requirements for 

manifests and other reports primarily to: 

(1) Track each shipment of hazardous 

waste from the generator to a designated 

facility; (2) provide information 

requirements sufficient to allow the use 

of a manifest in lieu of a Department of 

Transportation (DOT) shipping paper or 

bill of lading, thereby reducing the 

duplication of paperwork to the 

regulated community; (3) provide 

information to transporters and waste 

management facility workers on the 

hazardous nature of the waste; (4) 

inform emergency response teams of the 

waste’s hazard in the event of an 

accident, spill, or leak; and (5) ensure 

that shipments of hazardous waste are 

managed properly and delivered to their 

designated facilities. 

On February 7, 2014, EPA published 

the electronic manifest (e-Manifest) 

Final Rule. The final rule established 

new manifest requirements that 

authorized the use of electronic 

manifests (or e-Manifests) as a means to 

track off-site shipments of hazardous 

waste from a generator’s site to the site 

of the receipt and disposition of the 

hazardous waste. EPA is taking action 

now to establish the national e-Manifest 

system, but unknown variables (e.g., 

funding contingencies for e-Manifest 

system development) could delay the 

actual deployment of the system. 

Therefore, until EPA announces that the 

e-Manifest system is available for use in 

a subsequent Federal Register 

document, all respondents under the 

information collection requirements 

covered in this ICR (i.e., hazardous 

waste generators, transporters, and 

treatment, storage, and disposal 

facilities (TSDFs)) must continue to 

comply with the current paper-based 

manifest system and use the existing 

paper manifests forms for the off-site 

transportation of hazardous waste 

shipments. The EPA anticipates that the 

initial system will become available for 

use no later than spring 2018. 

Form Numbers: Form 8700–22 and 

8700–22A. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Business or other for-profit. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

mandatory (RCRA 3002(a)(5)). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

161,720. 

Frequency of response: each 

shipment. 

Total estimated burden: 3,473,577 

hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $105,622,281, 

which includes $974,463 annualized 

labor costs and $2,092,291 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in Estimates: The burden 

hours are likely to stay substantially the 

same. 

Dated: February 5, 2015.

Director, Office of Resource Conservation and 

Recovery.
