Agency Information Collection

Activities: Emergency Processing of

Proposed Collection: Safe Drinking

Water Act State Revolving Fund

Program Guidance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

EPA is planning to submit a Request for

Emergency Processing of its proposed

Information Collection Request (ICR

#1803.01) to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) regarding the

Drinking Water State Revolving Fund

(DWSRF) Program Guidance that is

being developed as the result of the Safe

Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The

SDWA Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L.

104–182) authorize a DWSRF program

to assist public water systems to finance

the costs of infrastructure needed to

achieve or maintain compliance with

SDWA requirements and to protect

public health.

The EPA began the ICR process with

the first notice published in the Federal

Register on December 31, 1996. This

notice is in addition to and does not

alter the comment process outlined in

the December 31, 1996 notice. We are

seeking emergency processing of the ICR

to allow the awarding of capitalization

grants beginning on February 28, 1997.

Approval of the ICR through the

emergency request process will allow a

90-day, temporary collection of the

information needed to process those

grants.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Clifford Yee (202) 260–5822; FAX: (202)

260–0116; E-mail:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Affected Entities: Entities potentially

affected by this action are the 50 states,

Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia,

the Territories, and the recipients of

assistance in each of these jurisdictions.

The EPA published notice regarding

the Information Collection Request on
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 31 / Friday, February 14, 1997 / Notices 6967

December 31, 1996, and we will

continue the process outlined in that

announcement according to the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.). We will continue to accept

comments during the initial 60-day

comment period which ends March 2,

1997. The second comment period on

the draft final ICR will begin shortly

after the close of the initial comment

period. We expect approval of the final

ICR, which will allow for information

collection for a three-year period, on

approximately May 1, 1997.

The EPA is currently requesting

emergency processing of its proposed

ICR to meet a commitment to the states

that capitalization grants will begin to

be processed and awarded on February

28, 1997. This emergency processing

request does not alter the original

process outlined in the December 31,

1996 notice but provides for a 90-day,

temporary collection of the information

required to process grants. During that

90-day period, we anticipate receiving

approval for the ICR for the three-year

period.

Dated: February 6, 1997.

Director, Office of Wastewater Management.

Variances

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

the following Information Collection

Request (ICR) has been forwarded to the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and approval:

Hazardous Waste Management System:

Land Disposal Restrictions ‘‘NoMigration’’ Variances, OMB Control

Number 2050–0062, expiring on April

30, 1997. The ICR describes the nature

of the information collection and its

expected burden and cost; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data

collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before March 17, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–

2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 1353.05.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Hazardous Waste Management

System: Land Disposal Restrictions ‘‘NoMigration’’ Variances (OMB Control

Number 2050–0062, EPA ICR No. 1353),

expiring 4/30/97. This is a request for

extension of a currently approved

collection.

Abstract: The 1984 Hazardous and

Solid Waste Amendments to the

Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act (RCRA) of 1976 created substantial

new requirements for those who manage

hazardous waste. (See 42 U.S.C. 6905,

6912(a), 6921, 6924, 6925, and 6935.)

The amendments prohibit land disposal

of hazardous wastes beyond specified

dates unless, as provided in RCRA

Sections 3004 (d), (e), and (g), the

owner/operator of a hazardous waste

storage or disposal facility demonstrates

to the Administrator of the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

that there will be no migration of

hazardous constituents from the land

disposal unit for as long as the waste

remains hazardous.

To receive a variance from the

hazardous waste land disposal

prohibitions under 40 CFR part 268.6,

owner/operators of hazardous waste

storage or disposal facilities may

petition the Environmental Protection

Agency to allow land disposal of a

specific restricted waste at a specific

site. The Agency will review the

petitions and determine if they

successfully demonstrate ‘‘no

migration.’’ The applicant must

demonstrate that hazardous wastes can

be managed safely in a particular land

disposal unit, so that ‘‘no migration’’ of

any hazardous constituent occurs from

the unit for as long as the waste remains

hazardous. If EPA grants the variance,

the waste is no longer prohibited from

land disposal in that particular unit. If

the owner/operator fails to make this

demonstration, or chooses not to

petition for the variance, best

demonstrated available technology

(BDAT) requirements of 40 CFR 268.40

et seq must be met before the hazardous

waste is placed in a land disposal unit.

Responses to the collection of

information are voluntary.

The information collected is not of a

personal nature nor is it subject to the

Privacy Act of 1974 or Office of

Management and Budget Circular A–

108. EPA expects that owners and

operators may wish to maintain the

confidentiality of certain information.

Provisions for confidentiality are found

in Section 3007 (b) of RCRA and in 40

CFR Part 2, which establishes EPA’s

general policy regarding public

disclosure of information. Provisions for

confidentiality have also been included

in 40 CFR Part 260, the general rule of

the RCRA hazardous waste management

system. An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

control number. The OMB control

numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed

in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register Notice

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on 11/1/

96 (61FR56539); 1 comment was

received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 9,506 hours per

response. Burden means the total time,

effort, or financial resources expended

by persons to generate, maintain, retain,

or disclose or provide information to or

for a Federal agency. This includes the

time needed to review instructions;

develop, acquire, install, and utilize

technology and systems for the purposes

of collecting, validating, and verifying

information, processing and

maintaining information, and disclosing

and providing information; adjust the

existing ways to comply with any

previously applicable instructions and

requirements; train personnel to be able

to respond to a collection of

information; search data sources;

complete and review the collection of

information; and transmit or otherwise

disclose the information.

Respondents/Affected Entities: 1.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.

Frequency of Response: 1.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

9,506 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: $471,609.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1353.05 and

OMB Control Number 2050–0062 in any

correspondence.
