Abstract: The Disinfectants/

Disinfection Byproducts, Chemical and 

Radionuclides Rules ICR examines 

public water systems’ and primacy 

agencies’ burden and costs for 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements in support of the chemical 

drinking water regulations. These 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements are mandatory for 

compliance with the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR parts 141 

and 142. The following chemical 

regulations are included: The Stage 1 

Disinfectants and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule (Stage 1 DBPR), the 

Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection 

Byproducts Rule (Stage 2 DBPR), the 

Chemical Phase Rules (Phases II/IIB/V), 

the Radionuclides Rule, the Disinfectant 

Residual Monitoring and Associated 

Activities under the Surface Water 

Treatment Rule (SWTR), the Arsenic 

Rule and the Lead and Copper Rule 

(LCR). Future chemical-related 

rulemakings will be added to this 

consolidated ICR after the regulations 

are promulgated and the initial, rulespecific, ICRs are due to expire. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

new and existing public water systems 

and primacy agencies. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR 

parts 141 and 142. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

149,822. 

Frequency of response: Varies by 

requirement (i.e., on occasion, monthly, 

quarterly, semi-annually, annually, 

biennially, and every 3, 6 and 9 years). 

Total estimated burden: 5,305,696 

hours (per year). Burden is defined in 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $464,896,000 

(per year), includes $5,492,000 

annualized capital costs and 

$253,440,000 operation and 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 428,639 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is a result of 

updating relevant baseline information 

for each rule with the most current and 

accurate information available and 

updating burden to incorporate the 

results of consultation with 

stakeholders. Estimated violation and 

other associated rates have also been 

updated to reflect current information 

on rule compliance.

Abstract: EPA published the NonHazardous Secondary Materials (NHSM) 

Rule on March 21, 2011. Amendments 

to this rule were published in the 

Federal Register on February 7, 2013. 

These amendments provided 

clarification on certain issues on which 

EPA received new information, as well 

as specific targeted revisions. In 

addition, these amendments listed 

several NHSMs as categorical nonwastes when used as fuels. The Agency 

also indicated that we would consider 


tkelley on DSK9F6TC42PROD with NOTICES
78226 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 241 / Wednesday, December 16, 2015 / Notices 

adding additional materials to the 

categorical listings. 

The rule associated with this ICR 

Supporting Statement proposes to add 

three additional materials to the list of 

categorical non-waste fuels: (1) 

Construction and demolition (C&D) 

wood processed from construction and 

demolition debris according to best 

management practices; (2) paper 

recycling residuals (PRRs), including 

old corrugated cardboard (OCC) rejects, 

generated from the recycling of 

recovered paper and paperboard 

products and burned on-site by paper 

recycling mills whose boilers are 

designed to burn solid fuel, and (3) 

creosote-treated railroad ties that are 

processed and combusted in units 

designed to burn both biomass and fuel 

oil. This ICR is a description of the 

indirect information collection 

requirements associated with the 

proposed rule. There are two burden 

categories associated with this action: 

reading and understanding the rule, and 

certification statements for affected 

facilities. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Generators, users, and potential users of 

the new materials proposed to be added 

to the list of categorical non-waste fuels. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary, required to obtain non-waste 

determinations for non-hazardous 

secondary materials (40 CFR part 241). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

605 (total). 

Frequency of response: Once. 

Total estimated burden: 885 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $64,739 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or

Changes in the Estimates: This is a

Abstract: Section 126(f) of the 

Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) 

requires EPA to set worker protection 

standards for State and local employees 

engaged in hazardous waste operations 

and emergency response in the 27 States 

that do not have Occupational Safety 

and Health Administration approved 

State plans. The EPA coverage, as cited 

in 40 CFR 311, required to be identical 

to the OSHA standards, extends to three 

categories of employees: Those engaged 

in clean-ups at uncontrolled hazardous 

waste sites, including corrective actions 

at Treatment, Storage and Disposal 

(TSD) facilities regulated under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA); employees working on 

routine hazardous waste operations at 

RCRA TSD facilities, and employees 

involved in emergency response 

operations without regard to location. 

This ICR renews existing mandatory 

record keeping collection of ongoing 

activities including monitoring of any 

potential employee exposure at 

uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, 

maintaining records of employee 

training, refresher training, medical 

exams and reviewing emergency 

response plans. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: State 

and local employees engaged in 

hazardous waste operations and 

emergency response in the 27 States that 

do not have Occupational Health & 

Safety Administration (OSHA) approved 

State plans. 

Respondent’s Obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. Section (e) and by statue in 

Section (f)[8] of OSHA’s 29 CFR 

1910.120. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

23,900. 

Frequency of response: Once, Annual, 

On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 255,477 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $4,668,688 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

change of the hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This is due to the program 

maturing and stabilizing. The cost
