**1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION**  **1(a) Title of the Information Collection**  This Information Collection Request (ICR) is entitled “Hazardous Remediation Waste Management Requirements (HWIR

- Media) (Renewal)” ICR Number 1775.0 6 , OMB Number 2050

- 0161

. **1(b) Short Characterization**  The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a national regulatory program to ensure that hazardous wastes are managed in a manner protective of human health and the environment. Under this program (known as the RCRA Subtitle C program), EPA regulates newly generated hazardous wastes, as well as hazardous remediation wastes (i.e., hazardous wastes manag ed during cleanup). To facilitate prompt and protective treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous remediation wastes, EPA established three requirements for remediation waste management sites that are different from those for facilities managing new ly generated hazardous waste:

· Performance standards for remediation waste management sites at 40 CFR 264.1(j) that replaced the detailed requirements in 40 CFR part 264, subparts B, C, and D (General Facility Standards, Preparedness and Prevention, and Co ntingency

Plans and Emergency

Procedures);

· A provision excluding remediation waste management sites from RCRA section 3004(u)’s requirements for facility- wide corrective action; and

· A new form of RCRA permit for treating, storing, and disposing of hazardous remediation wastes at 40 CFR part 270, subpart H. The new permit, a Remedial Action Plan (RAP), streamlines the permitting process for remediation waste management sites to allow cleanups to take place more quickly. In addition, EPA created a new kind of unit called a “staging pile” at 40 CFR 264.554 that allows more flexibility

in storing remediation waste during cleanup.

This I CR describes the requirements applicable to owners/operators of remediation waste management sites at 40 CFR 264.1(j) and part 270, subpart H, as well as the requirements for staging piles at 40 CFR 264.554. It replaces the previously approved ICR on remediation waste management requirements (i.e., IC R Number 1775.0 5 ). Sections 1 through 5 of this I CR describe the specific information collection requirements (e.g., from the standpoint of need, use, respondent activities). In Section 6, EPA estimates the annual hour and cost burden to respondents and the Agency under these requirements, and discusses the reasons for the chan ge in annual burden since the previousl y approved ICR. Following is a brief description of the information collection requirements applicable to owners/operators of remediation waste management sites. **(1) General Requirements for Hazardous Remediation**  **Waste Management Sites** Hazardous remediation waste management sites must comply with all parts of 40 CFR part 264 except subparts B, C, and D, and section 264.101. In place of the requirements in subparts B, C, and D, however, they need to comply

with performance standards based on the general requirement goals in these sections, which are codified at 40 CFR 264.1(j). 1


### 40 CFR 264.1(j)(1) requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to obtain an EPA identification number.
40 CFR 264. 1(j)(2) requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to obtain a detailed chemical and phy sical anal ys is of a representative sample of the hazardous remediation wastes to be managed at the site. At a minimum, the waste analy sis must contain all the information that must be known to treat, store or disposed of the waste in accordance with 40 CFR parts 264 and 268, and must be kept accurate and up to date.
40 CFR 264.1(j)(4) requires owners/operators to inspect the remediation waste manag ement site for malfunctions, deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may be causing, or may

lead to, a release of hazardous waste constituents to the environment, or a threat to human health. The owner/operator must conduct these inspections o ften enough to identify problems in time to correct them before they harm human health or the environment, and must remedy the problem before it leads to a human health or environmental hazard. Where a hazard is imminent or has already occurred, the owner

/operator must take remedial action immediately

. Under 40 CFR 264.1(j)(7), owners/operators of remediation waste management sites must design, construct, operate, and maintain units within a 100

- ye ar floodplain to prevent washout of any hazardous waste b y a 100

- ye ar flood, unless they can meet the demonstration requirements of section 264.18(b).

1 Facilities other than remediation facilities must comply with 40 CFR part 264, subparts B, C, and D.

### 4

40 CFR 264.1(j)(9) requires owners/operators to develop and maintain a construction quality assurance program for all surface impoundments, waste pi les, and landfill units that are required to compl y with sections 264.221(c) and (d), 264.251(c) and (d), and 264.301(c) and (d) at the remediation waste management site, according to the requirements of section 264.19.
40 CFR 264.1(j)(10) requires owner s/operators of remediation waste management sites to develop and maintain procedures to prevent accidents. These procedures must address proper design, construction, maintenance, and operation of hazardous remediation waste management units at the site. Inaddition, owners/operators must develop and maintain a contingency and emergency

plan to control accidents that occur. The plan must explain specificall y how to treat, store, and dispose of the hazardous remediation waste in question, and must be implemented immediately

whenever fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents that could threaten human health or the environment.
40 CFR 264.1(j)(12) requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to develop, maintain, and implement a plan to meet the requirements in sections 264.1(j)(2) through (j)(6) and sections 264.1(j)(9) through (j)(10).
40 CFR 264.1(j)(13) requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to maintain records documenting compliance with sections 264.1(j)(1) through (j)(12). Under 40 CFR 264.73(b)(17), owners/operators of remediation waste management sites are required to record, as it becomes available, and maintain in the operating record any records required under section 264.1(j)(13). **(2) Requirements for Staging Piles**  A staging pile is an accumulation of remediation waste that is not a containment building and is used only

during remedial operations for temporary storage at a facility . A staging pile is not subject to land disposal restrictions or minimum technology requirements and must be used as part of an approved RCRA permit, RAP, closure plan, or corr ective action order issued under section 3008(h) of RCRA. Under 40 CFR 264.554(c)(1), owners/operators seeking staging pile designations must provide sufficient and accurate information to enable the Director to impose standards and design criteria for th e staging pile. In addition, under section 264.554(c)(2), the owner/operator must provide a certification by an independent, qualified, registered professional engineer for technical data (e.g., design drawings and specifications, engineering studies), unless the Director determines, based on information provided by the owner/operator, that the certification is not necessary to ensure that the staging pile will protect human health and the environment. Finall y, under section 264.554(c)(3), the owner/operator must provide any additional information the Director determines is necessary to protect human health and the environment. As provided under 40 CFR 264.554(d)(1)(iii), a staging pile must not operate for more

### 5

than two years, except when the Di rector grants an operating term extension under section 264.554(i). The owner/operator must measure the two

- ye ar limit, or other operating term specified b y the Director in the permit, closure plan, or order, from the first time remediation waste is place d into the staging pile. The owner/operator must maintain a record of the date when remediation waste was first placed into the staging pile for the life of the permit, order, or approved closure plan, or for three ye ars, whichever is longer. Under 40 CF

R 264.554(i)(1), the Director may grant one operating term extension for a staging pile of up to 180 day s beyond the operating term limit contained in the permit, closure plan, or order. To obtain an extension, owners/operators must document that an exten sion will not pose a threat to human health and the environment and is necessary to ensure timel y and efficient implementation of remedial actions at the facility

. 40 CFR 264.554(k) provides that, within 180 day s after the operating term of the staging pi le expires, owners/operators must close a staging pile located in an uncontaminated area of the site in accordance with sections 264.258(a) and 265.258(a) and sections 264.111 and 265.111 (i.e., the closure requirements for waste piles).
40 CFR 264.554(l) specifies procedures for incorporating staging piles into existing permits (including RAPs), closure plans, or orders. Pursuant to section 264.554(l)(1), a permit, other than a RAP, may

be modified to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension as part of an Agency

- initiated permit modification under section 270.41or as part of an owner/operator initiated Class 2 permit modification under section 270.42. Pursuant to section 264.554(l)(2), an owner/operator may modify an existing RAP to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension by compl yi ng with the RAP modification requirements under sections 270.170 and 270.175. Pursuant to section 265.554(l)(3), an owner/operator may modify an existing closure plan to i ncorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension by

following the applicable requirements under section 264.112(c) or 265.112(c). Pursuant to section 264.554(l)(4), an owner/operator may modify an existing order to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension by following the terms of the order and the applicable provisions of section 270.72(a)(5) or 270.72(b)(5). **(3) Remedial Action Plans** 
40 CFR 270.80(a) defines a RAP as a special form of RCRA permit that an owner/operator of a remediation waste management site may obtain, instead of a permit issued under sections 270.3 through 270.66, to treat, store, or dispose of hazardous remediation waste at a remediation waste management site. Under 40 CFR 270.85(a), wh enever an owner/operator treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous remediation waste in a manner that requires a RCRA permit under section 270.1, the owner/operator must either obtain a RCRA permit or a RAP. Under 40 CFR 270.85(c), an owner/operator may obtain a RAP for managing hazardous

### 6

remediation waste at an already permitted RCRA facility . This RAP must be approved as a modification to the existing permit according to the requirements of section 270.41 or section 270.42. However, when the owner/operator submits an application for such modification, the information requirements in section 270.42(a)(1)(i), (b)(1)(iv), and (c)(1)(iv) do not apply ; instead, the owner/operator must submit the information required under section 270.110. When the permit is modified, the RAP becomes part of the RCRA permit. Under 40 CFR 270.95, an owner/operator may apply for a RAP by

completing an application, signing it, and submitting it to the Director.
40 CFR 270.100 provides that, when a facility or remediation waste management site is owned b y one person, but the treatment, storage, or disposal activities are operated b y another person, it is the operator’s duty to obtain a RAP. Under section 270.105, both the owner and the operator must sign the RAP application and any required reports according to sections 270.11(a) through (c). In addition, both the owner and the operator must also make the certification required under section 270.11(d)(1). However, the owner may choose the alternative certification under section 270.11(d)(2) if the operator certifies under section 270.11(d)(1). The RAP application must include all the information specified in section 270.110. Under section 270.115, an owner/operator m ay claim as confidential any or all of the information he submits to EPA. Any

such claim must be asserted at the time he submits his RAP application or other submissions by

stamping the words “confidential business information” on each page containing suc h information. The owner/operator must submit the RAP application to the Director for approval (§270.120). If the RAP application is submitted as part of another document, he must clearly identify the components of that document that constitute the RAP a pplication (§270.125).
40 CFR 270.130(b) provides that, if the Director tentatively finds that a RAP application does not include all of the information requested in section 270.110 or that the proposed remediation waste management activities do not meet the regulatory standards, the Director may request additional information from the owner/operator or ask the owner/operator to correct deficiencies in his application. Under 40 CFR 270.170, the Director must specify in a RAP, either directl y or by referen ce, procedures for future modifications, revocations and reissuance, or termination of the RAP. These procedures must provide adequate opportunities for public review and comment on any modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination that would si gnificantly change the management of the remediation waste, or that otherwise merits public review and comment. If the RAP has been incorporated into a traditional RCRA permit, as allowed under section 270.85(c), then the RAP will be modified according to the applicable requirements in sections 270.40 through 270.42, revoked and reissued according to the applicable requirements in sections 270.41 and 270.43, or terminated according to applicable requirements of section 270.43.

### 7

Under 40 CFR 270 .195, RAPs must be issued for a fixed term, not to exceed ten years, although they

may be renewed upon approval by the Director in fixed increments of no more than ten years. Under section 270.200, if an owner/operator wishes to renew his expiring RAP, he must follow the process for application for and issuance of RAPs.
40 CFR 270.210 requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to keep records concerning their RAP. All records must be kept for a period of at least three years from the date the RAP application is signed. Under 40 CFR 270.220(a), owners/operators of remediation waste management sites may transfer their RAPs to new owners/operators. To transfer the RAP, owners/operators must follow the requirements specified in their RAP for RAP modification to identify the new owner/operator, and incorporate any other necessary requirements. The new owner/operator must submit a revised RAP application no later than 90 day s before the scheduled change along with a written agreement co ntaining a specific date for transfer of RAP responsibility between the owner/operator and the new permittees. Under 40 CFR 270.220(b), when a transfer of ownership occurs, the old owner/operator must comply

with applicable requirements of 40 CFR part 264 , subpart H, until the new owner/operator has demonstrated compliance (i.e., within six months of the date of the change). Under 40 CFR 270.230(a), owners/operators may request a RAP for remediation waste management activities at a location removed from the area where the remediation wastes originated if they

believe such a location would be more protective than the contaminated area or areas in close proximity . Owners/operators must request the RAP, and the Director will approve or deny the RAP, accordin g to the requirements in part 270, subpart H (§270.230(c)). A RAP for an alternative location must meet the additional requirements specified in section 270.230(d), including the RCRA expanded public participation requirements in sections 124.31 through 1 24.33. In addition, under section 270.230(e)(2), these alternative locations are remediation waste management sites, and retain the benefit of complying with the requirements of section 264.1(j) in lieu of part 264, subparts B, C, and D.
**2. NEED FOR AND**  **USE OF THE COLLECTION 2(a)**  **Need/Authority for the Collection** This section describes the need and authority for each type of information collection anal yz ed in this ICR. All information collection requirements associated with the hazardous remediation waste management requirements were established under the authority of sections 3004 and 3005 of RCRA, as amended. EPA believes these information collection requirements are necessary

to balance streamlined regulation of remediation wastes with the Agency's responsibility

to protect human health and the environment.

### 8

**(1) General Requirements for Hazardous Remediation Waste Management Sites**  Hazardous remediation waste management sites must comply with all parts of 40 CFR part 264 except subparts B, C, and D, and section 264.101. In place of the requirement s in subparts B, C, and D, however, they need to comply

with performance standards based on the general requirement goals in these sections, which are codified at 40 CFR 264.1(j). Section 264.1(j)(1) requires owners/operators of hazardous waste remediatio n sites to obtain an EPA identification number by applying to the Administrator using EPA Form 8700

- 12. This information collection is required b y section 3010 of RCRA, and is needed to ensure consistent and coordinated identification of the site by EPA under RCRA and other regulatory programs. Section 264.1(j)(2) requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to obtain a detailed chemical and phy sical anal ys is of a representative sample of the waste that will be remediated. At a minimum, the waste anal ys is must contain all the information which must be known to treat, store, or dispose of the waste in accordance with 40 CFR parts 264 and 268. The owner/operator needs the information obtained from the waste anal ys is to determine whethe r there are any potential dangers from handling the remediation waste. The waste anal ys is requirement contributes to EPA's goal of preventing undetected releases or reactions of hazardous waste on site. Section 264.1(j)(4) requires owners/operators to in spect the remediation waste management site for malfunctions, deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may be causing, or may

lead to, a release of hazardous waste constituents to the environment, or a threat to human health. The owner/operator needs to conduct these inspections to identify problems in time to correct them before they harm human health or the environment. EPA needs owners/operators to perform inspections in order to prevent undetected releases or other problems at the facility

. Section 264.1(j)(7) requires owners/operators not to locate remediation waste management units within a floodplain unless the owner/operator can meet the demonstration of section 264.18(b). In particular, the owner/operator must demonstrate that procedu res will be in effect to remove waste safely before flood waters reach the unit in the event of a flood, or no adverse effects on human health or the environment would result from a washout. This information collection contributes to EPA's goal of preventing unforseen releases of hazardous wastes. Section 264.1(j)(9) requires owners/operators to develop and maintain a construction quality assurance program for surface impoundments, waste piles, and landfills, as specified. EPA needs this information to ensure that the units are constructed and designed to prevent unforseen releases of hazardous wastes.

### 9

Section 264.1(j)(10) codifies streamlined contingency and emergency

plan regulations for hazardous remediation waste sites. Requiring remediatio n waste management sites to develop and maintain contingency and emergency plans contributes to EPA's goal of minimizing unanticipated damage from the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste. Contingency planning is also mandated by RCRA sectio n 3004(a)(5). Section 264.1(j)(12) requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to develop, maintain, and implement a plan to meet the requirements in sections 264.1(j)(2) through (j)(6) and sections 264.1(j)(9) through (j)(10). 40 C FR 264.1(j)(13) requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to maintain records documenting compliance with sections 264.1(j)(1) through (j)(12). Under 40 CFR 264.73(b)(17), owners/operators of remediation waste management sites are re quired to record, as it becomes available, and maintain in the operating record any records required under section 264.1(j)(13). EPA needs a record of this information to be sure that the requirements of section 264.1(j) are being met. **(2) Requirements f** 

**or Staging Piles** Staging piles are codified at 40 CFR 264.554 under the authority of section 3004 of RCRA. Sections 264.554(c) and (d) identify procedures and information requirements for designating staging piles. Information provided to EPA by owners/ operators seeking designation of staging piles is needed to ensure that the design and operation of the staging pile will compl y with all applicable regulations and will be protective of human health and the environment. Owners/operators may

request an extension of up to six months to the two

- ye ar limit for staging pile operation. Extensions are authorized under section 264.554(i) and require a request with supporting information to be submitted to EPA. EPA requires information in extension requests to ensure that continued operation of the staging pile is necessary and will not pose a threat to human health and the environment. In addition, the information may be necessary to develop further standards and design criteria for the staging pile. Section 264.554(k) provides that, within 180 day s after the operating term of the staging pile expires, owners/operators must close a staging pile located in an uncontaminated area of the site in accordance with sections 264.258(a) and 265.258(a) and sections 264 .111 and 265.111 (i.e., the closure requirements for waste piles). Section 264.554(l) specifies procedures for incorporating staging piles into existing permits (including RAPs), closure plans, or orders, at the owner/operator's initiative. These proced ures are needed to keep the permit, closure plans, or orders up to date. **(3) Remedial Action Plans**  Under 40 CFR 270.80 through 270.90, EPA provides general information on RAPs (e.g., a definition of a RAP, applicability criteria). Under section 270.95 through 270.125, EPA describes how to apply

for a RAP. These procedures are needed to ensure owners/operators

### 10

understand the requirements and procedures they must follow. Under section 270.130(b), if the Director tentatively finds that the RAP application does not include all of the information required under section 270.110 or that the proposed remediation waste management activities do not meet regulatory standards, the Director may request additional information from the owner/operator. EPA ne eds this information to ensure that the proposed remediation waste management activities meet the regulatory standards. The Agency

believes that the information collected in the RAP applications is necessary to determine how and where media and remediati on waste will be managed. The information is essential to determine whether the management of these materials will be protective of human health and the environment, and will be in compliance with standards established pursuant to RCRA. Under section 270 .170, the Director must specify in a RAP, either directl y or by reference, procedures for future modifications, revocations and reissuance, or termination of the RAP. Owners/operators and EPA need these procedures to ensure that modifications can be made in a manner that protects human health and the environment. Under section 270.195, RAPs must be issued for a fixed term, not to exceed ten years, although they

may be renewed upon approval by the Director in fixed increments of no more than ten years by following the requirements of section 270.200. EPA needs this information to determine whether the management of these materials will be protective of human health and the environment, and will be in compliance with standards established pursuant to RCRA. Section 270.210 requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to keep records concerning their RAP. Recordkeeping is required to ensure that owners/operators are following the requirements for preparing and maintaining a RAP. Under se ction 270.220, owners/operators of remediation waste management sites may transfer their RAPs to new owners/operators. Records of such changes are needed to ensure that owners/operators are aware of their rights and obligations under part 270, subpart H. Under section 270.230, owners/operators may request a RAP for remediation waste management activities at a location removed from the area where the remediation wastes originated if they

believe such a location would be more protective than the contaminated area or areas in close proximity . This information is essential to determine whether the management of hazardous remediation waste will be protective of human health and the environment, and will be in compliance with standards established pursuant to RCRA.

**2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** 

### 11

**(1) General Requirements for Hazardous Remediation Waste Management Sites**  An owner/operator of a hazardous remediation waste management site must request an EPA identification number b y completing and submitting EPA Form 8700

- 12, according to section 264.1(j)(1). EPA uses Form 8700

- 12 to process the request and to ensure accurate and consistent identification of the site. Both EPA and the owner/operator use the EPA identification number as a standard way of identifying the site (e.g., in correspondence, reports). In performing waste analysis, pursuant to section 264.1(j)(2), the owner/operator of a remediation waste management site obtains detailed chemical and phys ical properties of th e remediation waste. The owner/operator uses these data to design and implement effective and safe remedial actions and to prevent unanticipated contaminant releases. Section 264.1(j)(4) requires owners/operators to inspect the remediation waste managem ent site for malfunctions, deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may be causing, or may

lead to, a release of hazardous waste constituents to the environment, or a threat to human health. The owner/operator uses the data collected in order to identify problems in time to correct them before they harm human health or the environment. Under section 264.1(j)(7), owners/operators planning to design, construct, operate, or maintain a hazardous remediation waste management unit in a 100

- ye ar floo dplain must demonstrate that the unit meets the criteria of section 264.18(b). The Director uses the information in the demonstration to evaluate whether the risk of contamination due to a flood is greater if the wastes are left unremediated within the fl oodplain than if the remediation wastes are managed in a unit within the floodplain. Section 264.1(j)(9) requires owners/operators to develop and maintain a construction quality assurance program for surface impoundments, waste piles, and landfills, as sp ecified. Owners/operators use this plan to construct and maintain these units in a manner that prevents unforseen releases of hazardous wastes. Section 264.1(j)(10) requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to develop and maintain c ontingency and emergency

plans. The contingency

and emergency

plans are used b y the owner/operator to assure an appropriate response to any unplanned release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents during the remedial action.

### 12

Sectio n 264.1(j)(12) requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to develop, maintain, and implement a plan to meet the requirements in sections 264.1(j)(2) through (j)(6) and sections 264.1(j)(9) through (j)(10). 40 CFR 264.1(j)(13) require s owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to maintain records documenting compliance with sections 264.1(j)(1) through (j)(12). Under 40 CFR 264.73(b)(17), owners/operators of remediation waste management sites are required to record, as it becomes available, and maintain in the operating record any records required under section 264.1(j)(13). Owners/operators use these records to keep track of maintenance and repairs, inspections, design criteria, and compliance with other aspects of hazardous waste remediation. For owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites subject to the 40 CFR 264.1(j) and part 270, subpart H requirements, the reporting burden is estimated to be 27.33 hours per respondent per year. This hourl y burden includes time for preparing and submitting a RAP application, information to modify a RAP, and information to transfer a RAP. The recordkeeping burden is estimated to be 42.13 hours per respondent per ye ar. This hourl y burden includes time for readin g the regulations and maintaining documentation (e.g., waste anal ys es results, contingency and emergency

plan, file of RAP documents) on site.
**(2) Requirements for Staging Piles**  Data submitted by

owners/operators seeking designation of staging piles is used by EPA to evaluate and approve proposed remedial actions involving staging piles. Specificall y, EPA uses the data to develop standards and design criteria for staging piles that are included in an approved permit, order, or closure plan. Similarl y, when owners/operators request extensions to the two

- ye ar limit for operating a staging pile, EPA uses submitted data to evaluate the need for and protectiveness of the extension, and to issue further standards and design criteria if needed. Owners/operat ors using a staging pile in uncontaminated areas must close the staging piles in accordance with applicable requirements of sections 264.258(a) and 264.111 or 265.258(a) and 265.111. Information submitted by owners/operators pursuant to these closure and post

- closure care requirements is used by EPA to approve closure plans and ensure that the site does not pose a continuing threat to human health and the environment. Section 264.554(l) specifies procedures for incorporating staging piles into existing RC RA permits, closure plans, or orders. In processing the information collected, EPA ensures that the proposed modifications will comply with all applicable provisions of RCRA. For owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites subject to the 40 CFR 264.554 requirements for staging piles, the reporting burden is estimated to be 7.08 hours per year per respondent. This hourly burden includes time for preparing and submitting information for a staging pile designation and documentation sup porting a staging pile extension. The recordkeeping burden is estimated to be 12.61 hours per respondent per year. This hourl y burden includes time for reading the regulations and complying with the recordkeeping

### 13

requirements in section 264.554(d)(1)(iii ).
**(3) Remedial Action Plans** 
In formation submitted in RAP applications and renewals, including requested additional information, is used by

the Director to verify

that proposed remedial activities will be conducted in accordance with applicable regulati ons and in a manner which protects human health and the environment. In addition, the Director may use the information in aggregate (e.g., number of RAPs approved) to track and evaluate RCRA implementation and to assist with further program development. Section 270.210 requires owners/operators to maintain a file of RAP

- related documents. The owners/operators use information included in the operating record to minimize unanticipated damage from the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous remediation waste. If an unanticipated release occurs, the owner/operator may review the information in the file to determine the composition of the waste and appropriate contingency measures. In the event that a remediation waste management site changes o wnership, a RAP may be transferred to the new owner/operator under the procedures in section 270.220. Specificall y, the current owner/operator is required to submit to the Director a modified RAP and a written agreement between the current and new owner/operator. The Director uses this information to maintain accurate records on the ownership of the sites and to ensure that new owners/operators are aware of their rights and obligations under part 270, subpart H. Under section 270.230, owners/operators may request a RAP for remediation waste management activities at a location removed from the area where the remediation wastes originated if they

believe such a location would be more protective than the contaminated area or areas in close proximity . The Di rector uses the information to verify that proposed remedial activities will be conducted in accordance with applicable regulations in a manner that protects human health and the environment.

**3. NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION**  **CRITERIA 3(a)**  **Nonduplication** No document identical or similar in purpose to the RAP is required by the Federal government. Since management of hazardous contaminated media will take place under many Federal and State remedial programs, the Agency has es tablished RAP requirements that are flexible enough so that any enforceable document used by one of these programs, which contains the relevant information and goes through at least the minimum public participation requirements

### 14

in section 270.145, can be c onsidered equivalent to the RAP. A respondent would not be required to duplicate effort or documentation to meet the requirements of the RAP. Most of the information required b y the regulations is not available from any source but the respondents. To avoid duplicating previous work, EPA allows respondents to draw upon similar analy ses in compiling data (e.g., for waste anal ys es), provided the information meets the requirements specified in the regulations. **3(b) Public Notice**  In compliance with the Pap erwork Reduction Act of 1995, EPA issued a public notice in the Federal Register on February 28, 2012 (7 7 FR 12046 ) . No comments were received. **3(c) Consultations**  In developing this I CR for the HWIR

- Media final rule, EPA conducted consultations with industry

regarding the hazardous remediation waste management requirements covered in this I CR. Their feedback enabled the Agency to develop hour and cost assumptions that are representative of their “real

- world” experience. These respondents were identi fied in that previous I CR. As with the previous renewal (ICR Number 1775.0 5 ), EPA has updated the costs to reflect inflation, but has no reason to believe that the number of burden hours has changed. In developing this current I CR, EPA consulted with one State agenc y and two EPA Regional offices to ascertain the number of respondents subject to the RAP requirements under 40 CFR part 270. Contact information for them is provided below:

**3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection**  EPA has carefull y considered the burden imposed upon the regulated community by the general requirements for remediation waste management sites. EPA is confident that those activities required of respon dents are necessary , and to the extent possible, has attempted to minimize the burden imposed. EPA believes strongl y that if the minimum requirements specified under the regulations are not met, neither the facilities nor EPA can ensure that hazardous rem ediation wastes will be managed properly , and will not pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. Since the RAP is a one

- time document for a particular remediation waste management site, less frequent preparation is not possible. At some sites, periodic review or renewal of the RAP may be needed to assure that the remedy continues to comply with currently applicable RCRA requirements. RAPs are for fixed terms, not to exceed ten years. When remedies continue beyond the term of the RAP, th e Director may renew the RAP unchanged or with changes as needed. In addition, the Director must review RAPs for hazardous waste land disposal facilities every

five years. Although the RAP renewals and five

- year reviews do not require owners/operators to submit progress reports or new applications, communication will be necessary to appraise the Director of the status of the cleanup. **3(e) General Guidelines**  This I CR adheres to the guidelines stated in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), OMB's implementing regulations, EPA's Information Collection Review Handbook, and other applicable OMB guidance. **3(f) Confidentiality**  Section 3007(b) of RCRA and 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, which define EPA’s general policy on public disclosure of infor mation, contain provisions for confidentiality . In addition, under section 270.115, EPA has established procedures that owners/operators submitting RAPs may use to claim as confidential any or all of the information submitted as part of the application. If such a claim were asserted, EPA must and will treat the information in accordance with the regulations above. Finall y, EPA has ensured that this information collection complies with the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular 108. **3(g) Sensitive Question**  **s** No questions of a sensitive nature are included in any of the information collection requirements.

· Submit request for extension. **(d) Closure**  **of Staging Piles**
40 CFR 264.554(k) provides that, within 180 day s after the operating term of the staging pile expires, owners/operators must close a staging pile located in an uncontaminated area of the site in accordance with sections 264.258(a) and 26 5.258(a) and sections 264.111 and 265.111 (i.e., the closure requirements for waste piles). [Note: This I CR does not address the requirements in 40 CFR 264.258(a), 265.258(a), 264.111, and 265.111 for closing a staging pile. Refer to “General Hazardous W aste Facility Standards,” ICR Number 1571, for these requirements. **(e) Incorporation of Staging Piles into Existing Permits** 
40 CFR 264.554(l) specifies procedures for incorporating staging piles into existing permits (including RAPs), closure p lans, or orders. Pursuant to section 264.554(l)(1), a permit, other than a RAP, may

be modified to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension as part of an Agency

- initiated permit modification under section 270.41or as part of an owner/operator initiated Class 2 permit modification under section 270.42. [Note: This I CR does not address the requirements in 40 CFR 270.41 and 270.42 for modifyingan existing RCRA permit. Refer to “Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits,” ICR Number 1573, for these requirements.] Pursuant to section 264.554(l)(2), an owner/operator may modify an existing RAP to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension by complyingwith the RAP modification req

uirements under sections 270.170 and 270.175. [Note: Refer to subsection “RAP Modification, Revocation and Reissuance, and Termination” of this ICR for requirements applicable to owners/operators of remediation waste management sites modifying their RAP. ] Pursuant to section 265.554(l)(3), an owner/operator may modify an existing closure plan to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension by following the applicable requirements under section 264.112(c) or 265.112(c). [Note: Thi s I CR does not address the requirements in 40 CFR 264.112(c) or 265.112(c) for modifying an existing closure plan. Refer

### 24

to “Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits,” I CR Number 1573, for the requirements under section 264.112 (c). Refer to “General Hazardous Waste Facility Standards,” ICR Number 1571, for the requirements under section 265.112(c).] Pursuant to section 264.554(l)(4), an owner/operator may modify an existing order to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension by following the terms of the order and the applicable provisions of section 270.72(a)(5) or 270.72(b)(5). [Note: Facilities incorporating staging piles into their orders would not follow the requirements in this I CR. Rather, they would follow the procedures spelled out in their site

- specific order. As such, these facilities are not addressed in this I CR.] **(3) Remedial Action Plans**  **(a) RAP Application** 
40 CFR 270.80(a) defines a RAP as a special form of RCRA permit that an owner/operator of a remediation waste management site may obtain, instead of a permit issued under sections 270.3 through 270.66, to treat, store, or dispose of hazardous remediation waste at a remediation waste management site. Under 40 CFR 270.85(a), whenever an owner/operator treats, stores, or disposes of hazardous remediation waste in a manner that requires a RCRA permit under section 270.1, the owner/operator must either obtain a RCR A permit or a RAP. Under 40 CFR 270.85(c), an owner/operator may obtain a RAP for managing hazardous remediation waste at an already permitted RCRA facility . This RAP must be approved as a modification to the existing permit according to the requirements of section 270.41 or section 270.42. However, when the owner/operator submits an application for such modification, the information requirements in section 270.42(a)(1)(i), (b)(1)(iv), and (c)(1)(iv) do not apply ; instead, the owner/operator must submit the information required under section 270.110. When the permit is modified, the RAP becomes part of the RCRA permit. [Note: This I CR does not address the requirements in 40 CFR 270.41 and 270.42 for modifying an existing RCRA permit. Refer to “Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits,” I CR Number 1573, for these requirements.] Under 40 CFR 270.95, an owner/operator may apply for a RAP by

completing an application, signing it, and submitting it to the Director.
40 CFR 270.100 provides that, when a facility or remediation waste management site is owned b y one person, but the treatment, storage, or disposal activities are operated b y another person, it is the operator’s duty to obtain a RAP. Under section 270.10 5, both the owner and the operator must sign the RAP application and any required reports according to sections 270.11(a) through (c). In addition, both the owner and the operator must also make the certification required under section 270.11(d)(1). However, the owner may choose the alternative

### 25

certification under section 270.11(d)(2) if the operator certifies under section 270.11(d)(1). The RAP application must include all the information specified in section 270.110. Under section 270.115, an owner/op erator may claim as confidential any or all of the information he submits to EPA. Any

such claim must be asserted at the time he submits his RAP application or other submissions by

stamping the words “confidential business information” on each page contai ning such information. The owner/operator must submit the RAP application to the Director for approval (§270.120). If the RAP application is submitted as part of another document, he must clearl y identify the components of that document that constitute the RAP application (§270.125).
40 CFR 270.130(b) provides that, if the Director tentatively finds that a RAP application does not include all of the information requested in section 270.110 or that the proposed remediation waste management activities do not meet the regulatory standards, the Director may request additional information from the owner/operator or ask the owner/operator to correct deficiencies in his application. (i) Data Item : The data item required of owners/operators includes a RAP application with the following information:

· Owner and operator signatures in accordance with §270.11(a) through (c);

· Owner and operator certifications required under §270.11(d);

significant phy sical structures;  The boundary of all areas on site where remediation waste is to be treated, stored, or disposed;

-- A specification of the hazardous remediation waste to be treated, stored, or disposed of at the facility

or remediation waste management site, including the following

### 26 information:  Constituent concentrations and other properties of the hazardous remediation wastes that may affect how such materials should be treated and/or otherwise managed;  An estimate of the quantity of these wastes;  A description of the processes that will be used to treat, store, or dispose of the waste including technologies, handling s ys tems, design, and operating parameters that will be used to treat hazardous remediation wastes before disposing of them according to the land disposal restrictio ns standards of part 268, as applicable;

-- Enough information to demonstrate that operations that follow the provision in the RAP application will ensure compliance with applicable requirements of parts 264, 266, and 268;

-- Such information as may be nec essary to enable the Regional Administrator to carry

out his duties under other Federal laws as required for traditional RCRA permits under §270.14(b)(20);

-- Any

other information the Director decides is necessary for demonstrating compliance with 40 CFR part 270, subpart H or for determining any additional RAP conditions that are necessary to protect human health and the environment; and

· If claiming as confidential any or all of the information on the RAP application or other submissions, a stamp with the words “confidential business information” on each page containing such information. (ii) Respondent Activities : In order to compl y with the above requirements, owners/operators must conduct the following activities:

· Prepare RAP application;

· Submit RAP application; and

· Prepare and submit additional information, if requested. **(b) RAP Modification, Revocation and Reissuance, and Termination**  Under 40 CFR 270.170, the Director must specify in a RAP, either directl y or by reference, procedures for future modifications, revocations and reissuance, or termination of the RAP. These procedures must provide adequate opportunities for public review and comment on any modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination that would significantly change the management of the remediation waste, or that otherwise merits public review and comment.

### 27

If the RAP has been incorporated into a traditional RCRA permit, as allowed under section 270.85(c), then the RAP will be modified according to the applicable requirements in sections 270.40 through 270.42, revoked and reissued according to the applicable requirements in sections 270.41 and 270.43, or terminated according to applicable requirements of section 270.43. [Note: This I CR does not address the requirements in 40 CFR 270.41 through 270.43 for modifying, revoking and reissuing, and terminating a RCRA permit. Refer to “Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits,” I CR Number 1573, for these requirements.] (i) Data Item : The data item required of owners/operators includes:

· In formation necessary to modify

RAP, as specifi ed in the RAP. (ii) Respondent Activities : In order to compl y with the above requirements, owners/operators must conduct the following activities:

· Prepare and submit information to modify RAP in accordance with procedures specified in the RAP. **(c) RAP Renewal**  Under 40 CFR 270.195, RAPs must be issued for a fixed term, not to exceed ten years, although they

may be renewed upon approval by the Director in fixed increments of no more than ten years. Under section 270.200, if an owner/operator wi shes to renew his expiring RAP, he must follow the process for application for and issuance of RAPs. [Note: Refer to subsection “RAP Application” of this I CR for requirements applicable to owners/operators of remediation waste management sites renewing their RAP.] **(d) RAP Recordkeeping** 
40 CFR 270.210 requires owners/operators of remediation waste management sites to keep records concerning their RAP. All records must be kept for a period of at least three years from the date the RAP application is sign ed. (i) Data Items : The data items required of owners/operators include:

· All data used to complete RAP applications and any supplemental information

### 28 submitted; and

· Any

operating and/or other records required as a condition of the RAP. (ii) Respondent Activity : In order to compl y with the above requirements, owners/operators must conduct the following activity :

· Maintain a file of RAP documents. **(e) RAP Transfers**  Under 40 CFR 270.220(a), owners/operators of remediation waste manag ement sites may transfer their RAPs to new owners/operators. To transfer the RAP, owners/operators must follow the requirements specified in their RAP for RAP modification to identify the new owner/operator, and incorporate any other necessary requirement s. 2 

### The new owner/operator must submit a revised RAP application no later than 90 day s before the scheduled change along with a written agreement containing a specific date for transfer of RAP responsibility between the owner/operator and the new permitte es. Under 40 CFR 270.220(b), when a transfer of ownership occurs, the old owner/operator must comply

with applicable requirements of 40 CFR part 264, subpart H, until the new owner/operator has demonstrated compliance (i.e., within six months of the date of the change). [Note: The demonstrations under 40 CFR part 264, subpart H are addressed in “General Hazardous Waste Facility Standards,” ICR Number 1571.] (i) Data Items : The data item required of the owner/operator with the RAP includes:

· In formation specified in the RAP for RAP modification. The data items required of the new owner/operator include:

· A revised RAP application; and

· A written agreement containing a specific date for transfer of RAP responsibility between the owner/operat or and the new permittees.

2 These modifications do not constitute “significant” modifications for purposes of section 270.170.

### 29

(ii) Respondent Activities : In order to compl y with the above requirements, owners/operators with the RAP must conduct the following activity :

· Modify

RAP. In order to compl y with the above requirements, the new owners/operato rs must conduct the following activities:

· Prepare a revised RAP application and a written agreement containing a specific date for transfer of RAP responsibility between the owner/operator and the new permittees; and

· Submit modified RAP and written agreement to the Director no later than 90 day s before the scheduled changes. **(f) RAP for an Off** 

**- Site Location**  Under 40 CFR 270.230(a), owners/operators may request a RAP for hazardous remediation waste management activities at a location remove d from the area where the remediation wastes originated if they believe such a location would be more protective than the contaminated area or areas in close proximity . Owners/operators must request the RAP, and the Director will approve or deny the RAP, according to the requirements in part 270, subpart H (§270.230(c)). [Note: Refer to subsection “RAP Application” of this I CR for requirements applicable to owners/operators of remediation waste management sites applying for a RAP.] A RAP for an alternative location must meet the additional requirements specified in section 270.230(d), including the RCRA expanded public participation requirements in sections 124.31 through 124.33. [Note: This I CR does not address the expanded public participation requirements in 40 CFR 124.31 through 124.33. Refer to “RCRA Expanded Public Participation,” I CR Number 1688, for these requirements.] In addition, under section 270.230(e)(2), these alternative locations are remediation waste management sites, and retain the benefit of complyingwith the requirements of section 264.1(j) in lieu of part 264, subpart B, C, and D. [Note: Refer to subsection “General Requirements for Hazardous Remediation Waste Management Sites” of this I CR for these requirements.]

**5. THE INFOR** **MATION COLLECTED**

**— AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION**  **METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT 5(a)**  **Agency Activities (1)**  **General Requirements for Hazardous Remediation Waste Management Sites (a)**  **Demonstrations for Remediation Waste Management Sites in Floodplains**  The Director must receive and review information submitted by owners/operators to meet the demonstration of section 264.18(b). **(2) Requirements for Staging Piles**  **(a) Designation of Staging Piles**  The Director must receive and review information submitted by all owners/operators seeking a staging pile designation. Based on this information, the Director designates a staging pile in a permit, closure plan, or order under section 264.554(b) and establishes standards and design criteria in accordance with section 264.554(d). In addition, the Director may receive and review additional information for staging pile designations submitted under section 264.554(c)(3). **(b) Staging Pile Extensions**  Under 40 CFR 264.554(h), the Director de signates in the permit the length of time the owner/operator may

use a staging pile, which may be up to two years. Under section 264.554(i), the Director may

grant extensions of up to 180 days for the use of staging piles. The Director must receive and review request for extensions from owners/operators, and determine whether to grant an extension. The Director may , as a condition of the extension, specify further standards and design criteria in the permit, closure plan, or order. **(c) Closure of Staging**  **Piles**
40 CFR 264.554(j) provides that, within 180 day s after the operating term of the staging pile expires, owners/operators must close a staging pile located in a previously contaminated area of the site by

removing or decontaminating all remediation wa ste, contaminated containment sy stem components, and structures and equipment contaminated with waste and leachate. The owner/operator must also decontaminate subsoils in a manner and according to a schedule that the Director determines will protect human health and the environment. The Director must include these requirements in the permit, closure plan, or order in which the staging pile is designated. Section 264.554(k) provides that, within 180 day s after the operating term of the staging

### 31

pile expire s, owners/operators must close a staging pile located in an uncontaminated area of the site according to sections 264.258(a) and 264.111; or according to sections 265.258(a) and 265.111. The Director must include the above requirement in the permit, closure plan, or order in which the staging pile is designated. [Note: This I CR does not address the requirements for preparing a permit (other than a RAP), a closure plan, or an order. Refer to “General Hazardous Waste Facility Standards,” ICR Number 1571, for these requirements.] **(d) Incorporation of Staging Piles into Existing Permits** 
40 CFR 264.554(l) specifies procedures for incorporating staging piles into existing permits (including RAPs), closure plans, or orders. Pursuant to section 264.554(l)(1), a permit, other than a RAP, may

be modified to incorporate a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension as part of an Agency

- initiated permit modification under section 270.41or as part of an owner/operator initiated Class 2 permit modification under section 270.42. [Note: This I CR does not address the requirements in 40 CFR 264.4 1 and 264.42 for modifyingan existing RCRA permit. Refer to “Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits,” ICR Number 1573, for these requirements.] **(e) Data Availability**  Under section 264.554(m), the Director must document the rationale for designating a staging pile or staging pile operating term extension and make this documentation available to the public. **(3) Remedial Action Plans**  **(a) RAP Applications**  According to 40 CFR 270.95 and 270.120, the Director must recei ve RAP applications for approval. Sections 270.130 through 270.140 identify the activities the Director must follow to review and approve RAP applications. As part of this process, the Director may require RAP applicants to provide additional information , as described in section 270.110(i). When additional information is requested, the Director must receive and review the information to ensure that the RAP application complies with applicable hazardous remediation waste management standards and, if neces sary , develop additional permit conditions. Based on the RAP application, the Director must prepare either a draft RAP or a notice of intent to deny

the RAP. Section 270.135 describes what the Director must include in a draft RAP. Under section 270.14 0(a), the Director must prepare a statement of basis that briefl y describes the derivation of conditions of the draft RAP or the rationale for the notice of intent to

### 32

deny the RAP. Under section 270.140(b), the Director must compile an administrative reco rd. Under section 270.140(c), the Director must make that record available to the public. The administrative record should include the following items:

· The RAP application and any supporting data furnished by the applicant;

· The draft RAP or notice of intent to deny ;

· The statement of basis and all documents cited therein; and

· Other documents supporting the decision to approve or deny the RAP Under 40 CFR 270.85(c), an owner/operator may obtain a RAP for managing hazardous remediation waste at an alre ady permitted RCRA facility . This RAP must be approved as a modification to the existing permit according to the requirements of section 270.41 or section 270.42. When the permit is modified, the RAP becomes part of the RCRA permit. [Note: This ICR doe s not address the requirements in 40 CFR 270.41 and 270.42 for modifying an existing RCRA permit. Refer to “Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits,” ICR Number 1573, for these requirements.] **(b) Public Comment on the Draft**  **RAP or Notice of Intent to Deny** Under 40 CFR 270.145, the Director must notify the applicant of his intention to approve or deny the RAP application. The Director also must notify the public of his intention to approve or deny the RAP applicatio n by publishing a notice in a major local newspaper or general circulation and broadcasting his intention over a local radio station. In addition, the Director must notify

the applicable local government and State agencies of his intention. The public no tice must provide an opportunity for the public to submit written comments on the draft RAP or notice of intent to deny within at least 45 days. If, within the comment period, the Director receives written notice of opposition to his intention to approve or deny the RAP application and a request for a hearing, the Director must hold an informal public hearing to discuss issues related to the approval or denial of the RAP application. The Director may also determine on his own initiative that an informal h earing is appropriate. The Director must notify the public that a hearing will take place. **(c) RAP Final Decisions** 
40 CFR 270.150 specifies the procedures b y which the Director must make a final decision on RAP applications. I f the RAP is to be approv ed, the Director must issue a final RAP and notify

the applicant and all commenters on the draft RAP of the approval in writing. If the RAP is denied, the Director must prepare and send to the applicant and all commenters on the draft RAP of the denial in writing. Before issuing a final decision, the Director must compile an administrative record that includes the following items:

### 33

· All comments received during the public comment period;

· Tapes or transcripts of any hearings;

· Any

written materials submitted at such hearings;

· The responses to comments;

· Any

new material placed in the record since issuance of the draft RAP;

· Any

other documents supporting the RAP; and

· A cop y of the final RAP. **(d) Administrative Appeal of a RAP Application**  Under 40 CFR 270.155, the Director must review administrative appeals of the Director’s decision to approve or deny a RAP. The Director must then give public notice of any grant of review of RAPs b y the Environmental Appeals Board (EAB). **(e) RAP Modificatio**  **n, Revocation and Reissuance, and Termination** Under 40 CFR 270.170, the Director must specify in a RAP, either directl y or by reference, procedures for future modifications, revocations and reissuance, or termination of the RAP. These procedures must provide adequate opportunities for public review and comment o n any modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination that would significantly change the management of the remediation waste, or that otherwise merits public review and comment. Under sections 270.175 and 270.185, the Director may choose to modify

the final RAP because the owner/operator made material and substantial alterations to the RAP, new information became available, or standards and regulations under which the RAP was submitted have changed. In addition, if the RAP includes a compliance schedule, the Director may modify it if events over which the owner/operator has little control over affect RAP activities (e.g., a flood). If the RAP has been incorporated into a traditional RCRA permit, as allowed under section 270.85(c), then the RAP will be modified according to the applicable requirements in sections 270.40 through 270.42, revoked and reissued according to the applicable requirements in sections 270.41 and 270.43, or terminated according to applicable requirements of section 270.43 . [Note: This I CR does not address the requirements in 40 CFR 270.41 through 270.43 for modifying, revoking and reissuing, and terminating a RCRA permit. Refer to “Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits,” I CR Number 1573, f or these requirements.]

### 34

**(f) Administrative Appeal of a Modification, Revocation and Reissuance, or**  **Termination of a RAP** Under 40 CFR 270.190(c), the EAB must review administrative appeals of revisions to a RAP. The Board must act on the appeal within 6 0 day s of receiving it; otherwise, the appeal is considered denied. **(g) RAP Expiration**  Under 40 CFR 270.195, the Director may renew the RAP for up to 10 years. In addition, the Director must review any RAP for hazardous waste land disposal five years a fter the RAP is issued or reissued. **(h) RAP Transfers**  Under 40 CFR 270.220, once the new owner/operator has submitted a revised RAP application, and has demonstrated compliance with 40 CFR part 264, subpart H, the Director will notify the previous owner/operator that he or she no longer has to compl y with 40 CFR part 264, subpart H. **(i) RAP for an Off** 

**- Site Location**  Under 40 CFR 270.230, if the applicant wishes to perform remediation waste management activities under a RAP at a location removed from the area where the waste originated, the Director must approve a RAP for this alternative location and must include in the RAP that the alternative location meets the requirements of s ection 270.230(d). [Note: Refer to subsection “RAP Applications” of this I CR for Agency requirements associated with the RAP application process. Refer to “RCRA Expanded Public Participation,” I CR Number 1688, for the expanded public participation requirements in 40 CFR 124.31 through 124.33.] **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management**  In collecting and anal yz ing the information submitted, EPA uses equipment such as personal computers and applicable data base software, when appropriate. As part of the RAP application process, the public will receive information through newspaper announcements and other media, and, upon request, will have access to additional data in the administrative record.

### 35

**5(c) Small Entity Flexibility**  RAPs are not mandatory . The Agency believes that the RAP provisions provide a flexible, less burdensome alternative to RCRA permitting at remediation waste management sites. Staging piles provide an alternative to placing hazardous remediation waste in a waste pile. Staging piles are less burdensome because the waste need not be treated to land disposal restriction standards before being placed in the pile, as is the case for a waste pile. These regulatory

alternatives may

decrease burden for both s mall and large entities. **5(d) Collection Schedule**  **(1) Requirements for Staging Piles**  As provided under 40 CFR 264.554(d)(1)(iii), a staging pile must not operate for more than two years, except when the Director grants an operating term extension under section 264.554(i). The owner/operator must measure the two

- ye ar limit, or other operating term specified b y the Director in the permit, closure plan, or order, from the first time remediation waste is placed into the staging pile. The owner/operator must maintain a record of the date when remediation waste was first placed into the staging pile for the life of the permit, order, or approved closure plan, or for three ye ars, whichever is longer. Under 40 CFR 264.554(i)(1), the Director may grant one operating term extension for a staging pile of up to 180 day s beyond the operating term limit contained in the permit, closure plan, or order. To obtain an extension, owners/operators must document that an extension will not pose a threat to human health and the environment and is necessary to ensure timel y and efficient implementation of remedial actions at the facility

. 40 CFR 264.554(k) provides that, within 180 day s after the operating term of the staging pile expires, owners/operators must clo se a staging pile located in an uncontaminated area of the site in accordance with sections 264.258(a) and 265.258(a) and sections 264.111 and 265.111 (i.e., the closure requirements for waste piles). **(2) Remedial Action Plans** 

### 36

Under 40 CFR 270.220(a), owners/operators of remediation waste management sites may transfer their RAPs to new owners/operators. To transfer the RAP, owners/operators must follow the requirements specified in their RAP for RAP modification to identify the new owner/o perator, and incorporate any other necessary requirements. The new owner/operator must submit a revised RAP application no later than 90 day s before the scheduled change along with a written agreement containing a specific date for transfer of RAP respons ibility between the owner/operator and the new permittees.
**6. ESTIMATING THE HOUR AND COST BURDEN OF THE COLLECTION**  **6(a) Estimating Respondent Hours**  EPA estimates respondent hourly burden for all the information collection requirements covered in this I CR in Exhibit 1. The burden estimates for each activity presented in Exhibit 1 include the burden hours (total and by labor type) per respondent, as well as the overall burden hours for all respondents. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs**  Exhibit 1 estimat es the annual costs to respondents based on the cost of labor, capital, and operations and maintenance (O&M). **(1) Labor Costs**  For the private sector, EPA estimates an average hourly respondent labor cost (including fringe and overhead) of $122.72 for l egal staff, $72.54 for managerial staff, $54.04 for technical staff, and $32.51 for clerical staff. These respondent labor costs were obtained from EPA ICR Number 0976.1 5. **(2) Capital Costs**  Capital costs usually

include any

produced phys ical good needed to provide the necessary information, such as machinery , computers, and other equipment. EPA does not anticipate that respondents will incur capital costs in carrying out the information collection requirements covered in this ICR. **(3) Operat** **ion & Maintenance Costs**

### 37

O&M costs are those costs associated with a paperwork requirement incurred continually over the life of the ICR. They are defined by

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 as “the recurring dollar amount of cost associated with O&M o r purchasing services.” For this I CR, O&M costs cover mailing costs ($4. 50 per submittal) 3 

### and waste anal ys is costs ($845 per respondent). 4 

### 6(c) **Estimating Agency Hour and Cost Burden** EPA estimates the Agency hour and cost burden associated with the inf ormation collecti on requirements covered in this I CR. EPA estimates an average hourly labor cost of $86.56 for legal staff (GS15, Step 5), $76.38 for managerial staff (GS

- 15, Step 1), $54.94 for technical staff (GS

- 13, Step 1), and $23.44 for clerical sta ff (GS

- 06, Step 1). To derive these hourly estimates, EPA referred to the General Schedule (GS) Salary Table 201 2 . This publication summarizes the unloaded (base) hourly rate for various labor categories in the Federal Government. EPA then applied the s tandard government overhead factor of 1.6 to the unloaded rate to derive loaded hourl y rates. **6(d) Estimating State**  **Agency Burden and Cost**  Thirty (30) States are authorized for the HWIR program, with an additional nine (9) States expected to be authorized over the next three ye ars. EPA estimates the State Agency hour and cost burden associated with all information collection requirements cov ered in this I CR in Exhibit 3

. For State agencies, EPA estimates an average hourly respondent labor cost (including fringe and overhead) of $57.54 for legal staff, $54.02 for managerial staff, $32.32 for technical staff, and $20.62 for clerical staff. These labor costs were obtained from EPA I CR Number 0976.1 5. **6( e** **) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Hour and Cost Burden**  **(1) Respondent Universe**  **(a) Hazardous Remediation Waste Management Sites Subject to 40**  **CFR 264.1(j)**  **and Part 270, Subpart H**

3 Postage cost estimates are from the U.S. Postal Service and are based on the mailing cost for a two -pound package.

4 Waste analysis costs are based on testing cost estimates for §264.13(a)(1) in “General Hazardous Waste Facility Standards,” ICR Number 1571. .

### 38

In estimating the number of owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites subject to 40 CFR 264.1(j) and part 270, subpart H (i.e., the requirements for sites with RAPs), EPA conducted consult ations with one State and two EPA Regions and has come to the conclusion that the number of entities covered b y this ICR has not changed significantl y from the previous renewal (ICR Number 1775.0 5 ). Based on this analy sis, EPA estimates that, currently , there are 14 hazardous remediation waste management sites with RAPs. EPA also estimates that, each ye ar, eight new owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites will apply for a RAP. Thus, EPA estimates that, on average, 30 sites will be subject to the requirements in 40 CFR 264.1(j) and part 270, subpart H over the three

- ye ar period of this I CR. This is reflected in Table 1.
**Table 1**

**Number of Hazardous Remediation Waste Management Sit es**  **Subject to 40 CFR**  **264.1(j) and Part 270, Subpart H**
**Type of Remediation Site Year 1**  **Year 2 Year 3**  Existing 14 22 30 New 8 8 8 Total 22 30 38


### Note that this I CR addresses only non - permitted sites under 40 CFR 264.1(j) and part 270, subpart H. As discussed earlier in this I CR, a site may conduct cleanup through a RAP, permit, or other specified mechanism. Permitted facilities would obtain a RAP by modifying their permit. These activities are already addresse d in “Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits,” I CR Number 1573. Therefore, this ICR addresses onl y non - permitted sites under the RAP requirements. **(b) Hazardous Remediation Waste Management Sites Subject to 40**  **CFR 264.554**  In estimating the number of owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites subject to the 40 CFR 264.554 requirements for staging piles, EPA referred to the Biennial Reporting Sy stem (BRS). Based on anal ys is of BRS data, EPA estimates th at, currentl y, there are 88 existing hazardous remediation waste management sites with staging p iles. 5 

### EPA also estimates that, each ye ar, 58 owners/operators of non

- permitted hazardous

5 In estimating the number of existing h azardous remediation waste management sites, EPA analyzed data submitted by generators of remediation

- derived waste (i.e., BRS source codes G41, G42, G43, G44, G45, and G49) to the 2001 and 2003 BRS. Based on these data, EPA found that, currently, there are 1,756 sites generating remediation

- derived wastes. For purposes of this ICR, EPA assumes that only five percent of these sites (i.e., 0.05 x 1,756 = 88) are subject to 40 CFR 264.554.

### 39

remediation waste management sites will seek a new staging pile designation. 6 , 7 

### (2) **Annual Respondent Hour and Cost Burden (a)**  **Reading the Regulations** EPA estimates that 176 owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites (i.e., 30 + 88 + 58 = 176) will be subject to the requirements in this I CR an d will, therefore, read the regulations each year. **(b) General Requirements for Hazardous Remediation Waste Management Sites**  Following is a discussion of the Agency ’s burden assumptions regarding sites subject to the 40 CFR 264.1(j) requirements. **(b1) Waste Analyses**  Owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste managements sites are required to obtain a detailed chemical and phy sical anal ys is of a representative sample of the hazardous remediation waste to be managed at the site. EPA estimates that the owners/operators of all 30 remediation sites will perform waste anal ys es in order to obtain this information each year. **(b2) Inspections**  Owners/operators must inspect the remediation waste management site for malfunctions, deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may be causing, or may

lead to, a release of hazardous waste constituents to the environment, or a threat to human health. Note that this I CR burdens inspections under Section b6 of this subsection, “Compliance Plan.”

6 In estimating the number of new hazardous remediation waste management sits, EPA conducted a trend analysis of data submitted by generators of remediation derived waste to the 2001 and 2003 BRS. Based on these data, EPA found that, each year, 1,158 new sites generate remediation

- derived wastes. For purposes of this ICR, EPA assumes that only five percent of the owners/operators of these sites (i.e., 0.05 x 1,158 = 58) will seek a staging pile designation each year.

7 Permitted facilities must modify their permit to incorporate a staging pile. Refer to “Part B Pe rmit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits,” ICR Number 1573, for the burden to these facilities.

### 40

**(b3) Demonstrations for Remediation Waste Management Sites in Floodplains**  Hazardous remediation waste management units must be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in such a way as to prevent washout of any hazardous waste within a 100

- year floodplain. Exceptions are allowed for sites that meet the demonstration requirements of section 264.18(b). EPA assumes that owners/operators of existing remediation sites have already prepared and submitted the above demonstration, if applicable. EP A further assumes that, each ye ar, five percent of owners/operators of new remediation sites (i.e., 0.05 x 8 = 0) will prepare and submit the demonstration. Thus, EPA estimates that no owner/operator of a remediation site will need to comply

with this inf

ormation collection requirement during the three

- ye ar period covered in this I CR. **(b4) Construction Quality Assurance Program**  Owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites are required to develop and maintain a construction quality ass urance program for all surface impoundments, waste piles, and landfill units, as specified. EPA assumes that existing remediation sites have already developed their construction quality assurance programs. Thus, EPA estimates that only the eight new reme diation sites will have to conduct this activity each ye ar. **(b5) Contingency and Emergency Plan**  Owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites are required to develop and maintain procedures to prevent accidents. EPA assumes that existing remediation sites have already developed these procedures. Thus, EPA estimates that only the eight new remediation sites will have to conduct this activity each ye ar. Owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites also are required to develop and maintain a contingency and emergency

plan. EPA assumes that existing remediation sites have already developed their contingency and emergency plans. Thus, EPA estimates that only

the eight new remediation sites will have to conduct this ac tivity each ye ar. **(b6) Compliance Plan**  Owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites are required to develop, maintain, and implement a plan to meet the requirements in sections 264.1(j)(2) through (j)(6) and sections 264.1(j)(9) throu gh (j)(10). EPA estimates that the owners/operators of all 30 remediation sites will need to comply with this information collection requirement each year.

### 41

**(b7) Recordkeeping Requirements**  Owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites are required to maintain records documenting compliance with sections 264.1(j)(1) through (j)(12) in the operating record. EPA estimates that the owners/operators of all 30 remediation sites will need to comply

with these recordkeeping requirements each ye ar. **(c) Requirements for Staging Piles**  Following is a discussion of the Agency ’s burden assumptions regarding sites subject to the 40 CFR 264.554 requirements for staging piles. **(c1) Designation of Staging Piles**  To manage hazardous remediation waste in a staging pile, owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites must seek a staging pile designation from the Director. EPA estimates that, each year, 58 owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites will seek staging pile designations under section 264.554(c). EPA also estimates that one percent (i.e., 0.01 x 58 = 1) of these owners/operators will need to prepare and submit additional information requested b y the Director. **(c2) Staging Pile Recordkeeping**  Owners/operators of staging piles must keep a record of the date when waste was first placed in the staging pile. EPA estimates that, each year, all 58 owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites seeking staging pile designations under section 264.554(c) will need to comply

with the recordkeeping requirements under section 264.554(d)(1)(iii). **(c3) Staging Pile Extensions**  Staging piles are intended to be used for up to two years. Under certain circumstances, the Director may

grant an extension of up to six months. EPA estimates that, each ye ar, 20 percent of owners/operators with existing staging piles (i.e., 0.20 x 146 = 29) will request an operating term extension for a staging pile.

### 42

**(d) Remedial Action Plans**  Following is a discussion of the Agency ’s burden assumptions regarding sites subject to the 40 CFR part 270, subpart H requirements. **(d1) RAP Application**  EPA estimates that, each year, eight owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites will submit a RAP application. EPA assumes that 50 percent of these owners/operators (i.e., 0.50 x 8 = 4) will be able to use existing documents that satisfy the requirements for a RAP in preparing their RAP applications. The remaining 50 percent (i.e., 0.50 x 8 = 4) will not have existing documents that satisfy the requirements for a RAP and thus, will have to develop RAP applications from new information. All owners/operators must submit their RAP application to the Director. The Director may

request additional information if necessary . EPA estimates that ten percent of owners/operators submitting RAP applications each ye ar (i.e., 0.10 x 8 = 1) will be required to prepare and submit additional information. **(d2) RAP Modification, Revocation and Reissuance, and Termination**  To modify

a RAP, owners/operators must prepare and submit information to modify their RAP in accordance to the procedures specified in the RAP. EPA estimates that, each ye ar, five percent of owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites with a RAP will need to modify

it. Thus, EPA estimates that two owner/operators (i.e., 0.05 x 30 = 2) will need to modify his RAP. **(d3) RAP Recordkeeping**  Owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites with RAPs are required to keep records concerning their RAPs. EPA estimates that all 30 owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites with RAPs will maintain a file of RAP documents. **(d4) RAP Transfers**  Owners/operators of hazardous remediation waste management sites with RAPs may transfer the RAPs to new owners/operators. EPA assumes that, each ye ar, one percent of the owners/operators (i.e., 0.01 x 30 = 0) will transfer their RAP. Thus , EPA estimates that no owner/operator will need to comply with this information collection requirement during the three

- ye ar period covered in this I CR. **6(f )**  **Bottom Line Hour and Cost Burden**

### 43

**(1) Respondent Tally**  Exhibit 1 shows the aggregate annual hour and cost burden to respondents. As shown in the exhibit, EPA estimates the annual respondent burden to be 4,9 59 hours and $3 25,503 ($ 299,70 0 labor costs and $2 5,80 3 operating and maintenance costs)

. **(2) Federal**  **Agency Tally** Exhibit 2 shows the annual Federal Agency hour and cost burden associated with all the requirements covered in this I CR.
