waste unless it meets specified

treatment standards described in

subsection 3004(m).

The regulations implementing these

requirements are codified in the Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, part

268. EPA requires that facilities

maintain the data outlined in this ICR

so that the Agency can ensure that land

disposed waste meets the treatment

standards. EPA strongly believes that

the recordkeeping requirements are

necessary for the agency to fulfill its

congressional mandate to protect human

health and the environment.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15.

The EPA would like to solicit

comments 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.
