Abstract: In 1995, EPA promulgated 

regulations at 40 CFR part 273 that 

govern the collection and management 

of widely-generated hazardous wastes 

known as ‘‘Universal Wastes.’’ Part 273 

regulations are designed to ensure 

facilities collect and properly manage 

these wastes. EPA needs to collect 

notifications of Universal Waste 

management to obtain general 

information on handlers and to facilitate 

enforcement of the part 273 regulations, 

to ensure that Universal Waste is being 

accumulated responsibly, to collect 

information on illegal Universal Waste 

shipments, and lastly to help ensure 

that Universal Waste is being properly 

treated, recycled, and/or disposed. In 

2001, EPA promulgated regulations in 

40 CFR part 266 that provide increased 

flexibility to facilities managing wastes 

commonly known as ‘‘Mixed Waste.’’ 

Section 266.345(a) requires that 

generators or treaters notify EPA or the 

Authorized State that they are claiming 

the Transportation and Disposal 

Conditional Exemption prior to the 

initial shipment of a waste to a LLRW 

disposal facility. Finally, the regulations 

at 40 CFR part 279 establish streamlined 

procedures for notification, testing, 

labeling, and recordkeeping including 

an approach for tracking off-site 

shipments that allow used oil handlers 

to use standard business practices (e.g., 

invoices, bill of lading). Used oil 

transporters must comply with all 

applicable packaging, labeling, and 

placarding requirements of 49 CFR parts 

173, 178, and 179. In addition, used oil 

transporters must report discharges of 

used oil according to existing 49 CFR 

part 171 and 33 CFR part 153 

requirements. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Private 

Sector and State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 273), required 

to obtain or retain a benefit (40 CFR 

parts 266 and 279). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

134,280. 

Frequency of response: Occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 679,354 

hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $44,737,952 (per 

year), includes $10,015,823 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 28,189 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to updating 

the current Universe and Mixed Waste 

estimates.
