Abstract: The authority for EPA’s 

facility response plan (FRP) 

requirements is derived from section 

311(j)(5) of the Clean Water Act, as 

amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 

1990. EPA’s regulation is codified at 40 

CFR 112.20 and 112.21 and related 

appendices. All FRP reporting and 

recordkeeping activities are mandatory. 

The purpose of an FRP is to help an 

owner or operator identify the necessary 

resources to respond to an oil spill in a 

timely manner. If implemented 

effectively, the FRP will reduce the 

impact and severity of oil spills and 

may prevent spills because of the 

identification of risks at the facility. 

Although the owner or operator is the 

primary data user, EPA also uses the 

data in certain situations to ensure that 

facilities comply with the regulation 

and to help allocate response resources. 

State and local governments may use 

the data, which are not generally 

available elsewhere and can greatly 

assist local emergency preparedness 

planning efforts. The EPA reviews all 

submitted FRPs and must approve FRPs 

for those facilities whose discharges 

may cause significant and substantial 

harm to the environment in order to 

ensure that facilities believed to pose 

the highest risk have planned for 

adequate resources and procedures to 

respond to a spill. (See 40 CFR 

112.20(f)(3) for further information 

about the criteria for significant and 

substantial harm.) 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

entities and States, local or tribal 

governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under section 311(j)(5) of the 

Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil 

Pollution Act of 1990. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

22,966 (total). 

Frequency of response: Once. 

Total estimated burden: 455,743 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $17,630,700 (per 

year), includes $14,763 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 7,676 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This estimate is based on EPA’s 

current inventory of facilities that have 

submitted and are maintaining an FRP 

as per 40 CFR part 112 versus the 

projected inventory for the prior ICR 

renewal.

Abstract: To determine compliance 

with the NAAQS, State air monitoring 

agencies are required to use, in their air 

quality monitoring networks, air 

monitoring methods that have been 

formally designated by the EPA as either 

reference or equivalent methods under 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 53. A 

manufacturer or seller of an air 

monitoring method (e.g., an air 

monitoring sampler or analyzer) that 

seeks to obtain such EPA designation of 

one of its products must carry out 

prescribed tests of the method. The test 

results and other information must then 

be submitted to the EPA in the form of 

an application for a reference or 

equivalent method determination in 

accordance with 40 CFR Part 53. The 

EPA uses this information, under the 

provisions of Part 53, to determine 

whether the particular method should 

be designated as either a reference or 

equivalent method. After a method is 

designated, the applicant must also 

maintain records of the names and 

mailing addresses of all ultimate 

purchasers of all analyzers or samplers 

sold as designated methods under the 

method designation. If the method 

designated is a method for fine 

particulate matter (PM2.5) and coarse 

particulate matter (PM10–2.5), the 

applicant must also submit a checklist 

signed by an ISO-certified auditor to 

indicate that the samplers or analyzers 

sold as part of the designated method 

are manufactured in an ISO 9001- 

registered facility. Also, an applicant 

must submit a minor application to seek 

approval for any proposed 

modifications to previously designated 

methods. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

manufacturers, states. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory per 40 CFR 53.15. 

Estimated number of respondents: 22. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 7,492 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $650,494 (per 

year), includes $132,668 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is no 

change in the hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB.

Abstract: Under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 

as amended, Congress directed EPA to 

implement a comprehensive program 

for the safe management of hazardous 

waste. The core of the national waste 

management program is the regulation 

of hazardous waste from generation to 

transport to treatment and eventual 

disposal, or from ‘‘cradle to grave.’’ 

Section 3001(d) of RCRA requires EPA 

to develop standards for small quantity 

generators. Section 3002 of RCRA states, 

among other things, that EPA shall 

establish requirements for hazardous 

waste generators regarding 

recordkeeping practices. Section 3002 

also requires EPA to establish standards 

on appropriate use of containers by 

generators. Finally, Section 3017 of 

RCRA specifies requirements for 

individuals exporting hazardous waste 

from the United States, including a 

notification of the intent to export, and 

an annual report summarizing the types, 

quantities, frequency, and ultimate 

destination of all exported hazardous 

waste. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

business or other for-profit. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR Parts 262 and 265). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

67,288. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 253,519 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $14,674,934 (per 

year), includes $40,041 annualized
