Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 49 / Friday, March 13, 2015 / Notices 13373 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

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

the PRA, the EPA is soliciting 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. The 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. At that time, the 

EPA will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: Under the authority of the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, 

Congress directed the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency to 

implement a comprehensive program 

for the safe management of hazardous 

waste. In addition, Congress wrote that 

‘‘[a]ny person may petition the 

Administrator for the promulgation, 

amendment or repeal of any regulation’’ 

under RCRA (section 7004(a)). 

40 CFR parts 260 and 261 contain 

provisions that allow regulated entities 

to apply for petitions, variances, 

exclusions, and exemptions from 

various RCRA requirements. 

The following are some examples of 

information required from petitioners 

under 40 CFR part 260. Under 40 CFR 

260.20(b), all rulemaking petitioners 

must submit basic information with 

their demonstrations, including name, 

address, and statement of interest in the 

proposed action. Under § 260.21, all 

petitioners for equivalent testing or 

analytical methods must include 

specific information in their petitions 

and demonstrate to the satisfaction of 

the Administrator that the proposed 

method is equal to, or superior to, the 

corresponding method in terms of its 

sensitivity, accuracy, and 

reproducibility. Under § 260.22, 

petitions to amend part 261 to exclude 

a waste produced at a particular facility 

(more simply, to delist a waste) must 

meet extensive informational 

requirements. When a petition is 

submitted, the Agency reviews 

materials, deliberates, publishes its 

tentative decision in the Federal 

Register, and requests public comment. 

The EPA also may hold informal public 

hearings (if requested by an interested 

person or at the discretion of the 

Administrator) to hear oral comments 

on its tentative decision. After 

evaluating all comments, the EPA 

publishes its final decision in the 

Federal Register. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Business and other for-profit. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (RCRA 7004(a)). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,603. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 68,923 hours. 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $12,504,987, 

includes $9,660,864 annualized O&M 

costs and $2,844,124 annualized labor 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: The burden 

hours are likely to stay substantially the 

same.

concerning the EPA Science Advisory 

Board can be found at the EPA SAB 

Web site at http://epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB was established 

pursuant to the Environmental 

Research, Development, and 

Demonstration Authorization Act 

(ERDAA) codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to 

provide independent scientific and 

technical peer review, advice, 

consultation, and recommendations to 

the EPA Administrator on the technical 

basis for EPA actions. As a Federal 

Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts 

business in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 

U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the SAB 

Economy-Wide Modeling Panel will 

hold a public teleconference to receive 

a background briefing from EPA’s 

National Center for Environmental 

Economics and the Office of Air and 

Radiation on economic analysis for air 

regulations at EPA and challenges for 

the potential use of economy-wide 

modeling in this context. The 

teleconference will provide an 

orientation for the public and the Panel 

on EPA’s draft final charge and 

annotated outlines of several white 

papers to be authored by EPA. 

Subsequently, the SAB Economy-Wide 

Modeling Panel will hold a face-to-face 

meeting on October 22 and 23, 2015 to 

deliberate on EPA’s charge questions. 

The EPA-authored white papers will be 

provided to the Panel and the public 

prior to the October face-to-face 

meeting. The October 22 and 23, 2015 

face-to-face meeting will address the 

first two sections of the charge, on social 

costs and benefits. The remaining two 

sections, on economic impact analysis 

and results interpretation, will be 

discussed at a subsequent face-to-face 

meeting to be scheduled. At the October 

22 and 23, 2015 face-to-face meeting, 

EPA’s National Center for 

Environmental Economics and the 

Office of Air and Radiation will also 

provide background briefings specific to 

the charge. The SAB will comply with 

the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. Background information on the 

SAB Economy-Wide Modeling Panel 

can be found at http://yosemite.epa.gov/ 

sab/sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/

Economywide%20modeling?

OpenDocument. 

Availability of the meeting materials: 

Agendas will be posted on the SAB Web 

site prior to the July 15, 2015 

teleconference and the October 22 and 

23, 2015 face-to-face meeting. To locate 

meeting materials, go to http://epa.gov/ 

sab and click on the calendar and then 

the respective meeting dates. EPA’s 

review document(s), charge to the Panel 

and other background materials are also 

available at the URL above. For 

questions concerning EPA’s review 

materials on economy-wide modeling, 

please contact Dr. Ann Wolverton, EPA 

National Center for Environmental 

Economics at wolverton.ann@epa.gov or 

202–566–2278. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees and panels, including 

scientific advisory committees, provide 

independent advice to the EPA. 

Members of the public can submit 

relevant comments on the topic of this 

advisory activity, including the charge 

to the panel and the EPA review 

documents, and/or the group 

conducting the activity, for the SAB to 

consider during the advisory process. 

Input from the public to the SAB will 

have the most impact if it consists of 

comments that provide specific 

scientific or technical information or 

analysis for the SAB panel to consider 

or if it relates to the clarity or accuracy 

of the technical information. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at the meeting will be 

limited to five minutes per speaker for 

the face-to-face meeting and three 

minutes per speaker for the 

teleconference. Interested parties should 

contact Dr. Holly Stallworth, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via email), at the 

contact information noted above, by July 

6, 2015 to be placed on the list of public 

speakers for the teleconference and by 

October 13, 2015 to be placed on the list 

of speakers for the face-to-face meeting. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be received in the 

SAB Staff Office by July 6, 2015 to be 

considered for the teleconference and by 

October 13, 2015 to be considered for 

the face-to-face meeting. Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO, preferably in electronic format via 

email. It is the SAB Staff Office general 

policy to post written comments on the 

Web page for the advisory meeting or 

teleconference. Submitters are requested 

to provide an unsigned version of each 

document because the SAB Staff Office 

does not publish documents with 

signatures on its Web sites. Members of 

the public should be aware that their 

personal contact information, if 

included in any written comments, may 

be posted to the SAB Web site. 

Copyrighted material will not be posted 

without explicit permission of the 

copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. 

Stallworth at the phone number or 

email address noted above, preferably at 

least ten days prior to the meeting, to 

give EPA as much time as possible to 

process your request. 

Dated: March 3, 2015.

Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board 

Staff Office.
