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

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

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. 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. 1571.09, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0120. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on June 30, 2009. 

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 77 

hours per response, and the annual 

public recordkeeping burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

average 254 hours per response. 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 1531. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

652,312 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$644,086, including $12,658 annualized 

capital and $631,428 annualized 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Summary of Information About the 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS) 

IRIS is a database that contains 

potential adverse human health effects 

information that may result from 

chronic (or lifetime) exposure to specific 

chemical substances found in the 

environment. The database (available on 

the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/iris) 

contains qualitative and quantitative 

health effects information for more than 

540 chemical substances that may be 

used to support the first two steps 

(hazard identification and doseresponse evaluation) of a risk 

assessment process. When supported by 

available data, the database provides 

oral reference doses (RfDs) and 

inhalation reference concentrations 

(RfCs) for chronic health effects, and 

oral slope factors and inhalation unit 

risks for carcinogenic effects. Combined 

with specific exposure information, 

government and private entities can use 

IRIS data to help characterize public 

health risks of chemical substances in a 

site-specific situation and thereby 

support risk management decisions 

designed to protect public health.
