*Title:*                     RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification, Part A (Renewal)                

*ICR numbers:*                     EPA ICR No. 0262.12, OMB Control No. 2050-0034.                

*ICR Status:*                     This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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                           ( print page 4958)                        applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.                

*Abstract:*                     Section 3010 of Subtitle C of RCRA, as amended, requires any person who generates or transports regulated waste or who owns or operates a facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal (TSDF) of regulated waste to notify EPA of their activities, including the location and general description of activities and the regulated wastes managed. Section 3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires TSDFs to obtain a permit. To obtain the permit, the TSDF must submit an application describing the facility's operation. There are two parts to the RCRA permit application—Part A and Part B. Part A defines the processes to be used for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes: the design capacity of such processes: and the specific hazardous wastes to be handled at the facility. Part B requires detailed site specific information such as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering data.                

*Burden Statement:*                     The annual public reporting and record keeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 25 hours per response for an initial Part A Application and 13 hours per response for a revised Part A application. 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.                

*Respondents/Affected Entities:*                     Business or other for-profit.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     82.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     On occasion.                

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     497.                

*Estimated Total Annual Cost:*                     $35,791, which includes $35,619 in annualized labor costs and $172 annualized operating and maintenance costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is an increase of 95 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due primarily to the State agency burden, which was not calculated in previous renewals.
