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.
