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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection.

What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are business and 

other for-profit, as well as State, Local, 

and Tribal governments. 

Title: General Hazardous Waste 

Facility Standards. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1571.10, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0120. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on August 31, 2012. 

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 applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: Section 3004 of the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA), as amended, requires that 

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) 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 EPA to properly 

determine whether owners/operators or 

hazardous waste treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities meet the requirements 

of Section 3004(a) of RCRA. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 324 

hours per respondent, and the annual 

public recordkeeping burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

average 88 hours per respondent. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 


Tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 66 / Thursday, April 5, 2012 / Notices 20625 

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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1403. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

578,381 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$38,057,653 including $37,384,641 

annualized labor costs and $673,012 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR

Air Pollution Control: Proposed Action 

on Clean Air Act Grants to the Idaho 

Department of Environmental Quality; 

Proposed Determination With Request 

for Comments; and a Notice of 

Opportunity for a Public Hearing 

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice; Proposed determination 

with request for comments; and a notice 

of opportunity for a public hearing. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. EPA has made a 

proposed determination that reduction 

in expenditures of non-Federal funds for 

the Idaho Department of Environmental 

Quality (IDEQ) in support of its 

continuing air program under Clean Air 

Act (CAA) Section 105 for the period of 

calendar year 2010 was not selective 

relative to the expenditures of all other 

executive branch agencies in the State 

for the same period. This determination, 

when final, will reset IDEQ’s required 

recipient maintenance of effort level for 

2010 and 2011, retain its federal award 

for the 2010 and 2011 grant years, and 

allow IDEQ to remain eligible for a § 105 

grant for 2012 and beyond. 

DATES: Comments and/or requests for a 

public hearing must be received by EPA 

at the address stated below by May 7, 

2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

105 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) provides 

grant support for the continuing air 

programs of eligible state, local and 

tribal agencies. Section 105 contains 

two cost-sharing provisions to initially 

qualify for a § 105 grant under 

§ 105(a)(1)(A). An eligible entity must 

meet a minimum match and to remain 

eligible for Section 105 grant funds, an 

eligible entity must continue to meet the 

match as well as meet a maintenance of 

effort (MOE) requirement under 

§ 105(c)(1). The match requires that at 

least 2⁄5 of the total costs for approved 

§ 105 program activities must be paid by 

the state/local recipient. Program 

activities relevant to the match consist 

of both recurring and non-recurring 

(unique, one-time only) expenses. 

The MOE provision requires that a 

state or local agency spend at least the 

same dollar level of funds as it did in 

the previous grant year but only for the 

costs of recurring activities. Specifically, 

§ 105(c)(1) [42 U.S.C. 7405(c)(1)], 

provides that ‘‘no agency shall receive 

any grant under this section during any 

fiscal year when its expenditures of 

non-Federal funds for recurrent 

expenditures for air pollution control 

programs will be less than its 

expenditures were for such programs 

during the preceding fiscal year. 

Pursuant to CAA § 105(c)(2), however, 

EPA may still award a grant to an 

agency not meeting the requirements of 

§ 105(c)(1), ‘‘if the Administrator, after 

notice and opportunity for public 

hearing, determines that a reduction in 

expenditures is attributable to a nonselective reduction in the expenditures 

in the programs of all Executive branch 

agencies of the applicable unit of 

Government.’’ These statutory 

requirements are repeated in EPA’s 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR 

35.140 through 35.148. 

EPA issued additional guidance to 

recipients on what constitutes a 

nonselective reduction on September 

30, 2011. In consideration of legislative 

history, the guidance clarified that a 

non-selective reduction does not 

necessarily mean that each Executive 

branch agency need be reduced in equal 

proportion. However, it must be clear to 

EPA, from the weight of evidence, that 

a recipient’s CAA-related air program is 

not being disproportionately impacted 

or singled out for a reduction. 

A § 105 recipient must submit a final 

financial status report no later than 90 

days from the close of its grant period 

that documents all of its federal and 

non-federal expenditures for the 

completed period. The recipient seeking 

an adjustment to its MOE for that period 

must provide the rationale and the 

documentation necessary to enable EPA 

to make a determination that a nonselective reduction has occurred. In 

order to expedite that determination, the 

recipient must provide details of the 

budget action and the comparative fiscal 

impacts on all the jurisdiction’s 

executive branch agencies, the recipient 

agency itself, and the agency’s air 

program. The recipient should identify 

any executive branch agencies or 

programs that should be excepted from
