Abstract: The EPA has finalized an 

alternative set of generator requirements 

applicable to laboratories owned by 

eligible academic entities, as defined in 

the final rule. The rule, which 

establishes a Subpart K within 40 CFR 

part 262, provides a flexible and 

protective set of regulations that address 

the specific nature of hazardous waste 

generation and accumulation in 

laboratories owned by colleges and 

universities, and teaching hospitals and 

non-profit research institutes that are 

either owned by or formally affiliated 

with a college or university. In addition, 

the rule allows colleges and universities 

and these other eligible academic 

entities formally affiliated with a college 

or university the discretion to determine 

the most appropriate and effective 

method of compliance with these 

requirements by allowing them the 

choice of managing their hazardous 

wastes in accordance with the 

alternative regulations as set forth in 

Subpart K or remaining subject to the 

existing generator regulations. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

colleges and universities as well as 

State, Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit 

(Sections 2002, 3001, 3002, 3004 of 

RCRA). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

132. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 35,813 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,806,663 (per 

year), includes $138,687 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase of 8,094 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to an 

increase in the number of respondents 

from 99 to 132.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies
