Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are those State 

and local employees engaged in 

hazardous waste operations and 

emergency response in the 27 States that 

do not have Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration (OSHA) 

approved State plans. 

Title: EPA Worker Protection 

Standards for Hazardous Waste 

Operation and Emergency Response 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1426.08, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0105. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on 03/31/09. This is 

a request renewal of a currently 

approved collection. 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 126(f) of the 

Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) 

requires EPA to set worker protection 

standards for State and local employees 

engaged in hazardous waste operations 

and emergency response in the 27 States 

that do not have Occupational Safety 

and Health Administration approved 

State plans. The EPA coverage, required 

to be identical to the OSHA standards, 

extends to three categories of 

employees: Those engaged in clean-ups 

at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, 

including corrective actions at 

Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD) 

facilities regulated under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); 

employees working at routine hazardous 

waste operations at RCRA TSD facilities, 

and employees involved in emergency 

response operations without regard to 

location. This ICR renews existing 

mandatory record keeping collection of 

ongoing activities including monitoring 

of any potential employee exposure at 

uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, 

maintaining records of employee 

training, refresher training, medical 

exams and reviewing emergency 

response plans. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection is estimated to average 

10.64 hours per response. Burden means 

the total time, effort, and 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; 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: 24,000. 

Frequency of response: Annually. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

255,427 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$3,528,888, which is entirely for labor. 

There are no capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs. 

These burden estimates reflect what is 

currently approved by OMB, without 

change. EPA will provide revised 

burden estimates when the second 

comment period for this ICR is opened. 

However, as the universe and 

regulations have not changed, EPA does 

not anticipate any substantive changes 

to the burden figures. 

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
