SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information the EPA will be 

collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. 

The telephone number for the Docket 

Center is 202–566–1744. For additional 

information about EPA’s public docket, 

visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets. 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, the EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. The EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, the 

EPA will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: On April 17, 2015, the EPA 

published a final rule to regulate the 

disposal of coal combustion residuals 

(CCR) from electric utilities as solid 

waste under Subtitle D of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

(80 FR 21302). EPA established national 

minimum criteria for existing and new 

CCR landfills and CCR surface 

impoundments and all lateral 

expansions to include location 

restrictions, design and operating 

criteria, groundwater monitoring and 

corrective action, closure requirements 

and post-closure care, and 

recordkeeping, notification, and internet 

posting requirements. 

In December 2016, the President 

signed the Water Infrastructure 

Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) 

Act. The WIIN Act amended RCRA 

Subtitle D and established new statutory 

provisions applicable to CCR landfills 

and CCR surface impoundments. In 

particular, the WIIN Act provides that 

states may, but are not required to, 

develop and submit a permit (or other 

system of prior approval) program for 

CCR disposal to EPA for approval. Such 

a program does not have to be identical 

to the requirements in the CCR rule (40 

CFR part 257, subpart D), but must be 

at least as protective as the CCR rule. 

EPA developed an interim final 

guidance document that provides 

information about the provisions of the 

2016 WIIN Act related to CCR as well 

as the process and procedures EPA will 

generally use to review and make 

determinations on state CCR permit 

programs. The release of this interim 

final guidance was announced on 

August 15, 2017 (82 FR 38685), and EPA 

accepted public comment for thirty 

days. 

On June 14, 2016, the U.S. Court of 

Appeals for the District of Columbia 

(D.C. Circuit) ordered a partial vacatur. 

As a consequence of the vacatur, EPA 

published a direct final rule on August 

5, 2016 (81 FR 51802), to remove 40 

CFR 257.100(b), (c), and (d), which 

provided ‘‘early closure’’ provisions for 

certain inactive CCR surface 

impoundments. It also extended 

compliance deadlines for those units. 

On July 17, 2018, EPA signed a rule 

to finalize certain revisions to the 2015 

CCR regulations to: provide states with 

approved CCR permit programs under 

the WIIN Act, or EPA where EPA is the 

permitting authority, the ability to use 

alternate performance standards; to 

revise the groundwater protection 

standard for constituents which do not 

have an established drinking water 

standard (known as a maximum 

contaminant level or MCL); and to 

provide facilities triggered into closure 

additional time to cease receiving waste 

and initiate closure. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Business and other for-profit. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

mandatory 42 U.S.C. 6907(a)(3), 

6912(a)(1), 6944(a); 33 U.S.C. 1345(d) 

and (e). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

534. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 358,957 

hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $63,858,128, 

which includes $41,112,513 in 

annualized O&M costs and $22,745,615 

in annualized labor costs. 

Changes in Estimates: The existing 

burden hours have been revised to 

reflect changes in the regulatory 

program realized as a result of the 

August 2016 direct final action, the 

Interim Final Guidance for state CCR 

programs, and the July 2018 final 

amendments to the 2015 CCR rule. The 

burden hours are likely to change 

additionally in the future due to 

ongoing litigation and EPA’s stated 

intention to reconsider additional 

portions of the 2015 rule. Any future 

burden changes will be evaluated once 

those changes are known.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that an 

exemption to the Land Disposal 

Restrictions, under the 1984 Hazardous 

and Solid Waste Amendments to the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act, has been granted to Innophos for 

two Class I hazardous waste injection 

wells located at their Geismar, 

Louisiana facility. The company has 

adequately demonstrated to the

waste remains hazardous. This final 

decision allows the underground 

injection by Innophos of the specific 

restricted hazardous wastes identified in 

this exemption request, into Class I 

hazardous waste injection wells DW#1 

and DW#2 until July 12, 2048, unless

wide range of stakeholders including 

environmental, human health, and 

agricultural advocates; the chemical 

industry; pesticide users; and members 

of the public interested in the sale, 

distribution, or use of pesticides. Since 

others also may be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected 

by this action. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

comments.html. 

II. What action is the agency taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of requests from pesticide registrants to 

cancel certain pesticide products and 

amend product registrations to 

terminate certain uses. The affected 

products and the registrants making the 

requests are identified in Tables 1, 1A, 

2 & 3 of this unit. The cancellations of 

the two triforine products, EPA Reg. 

Nos. 239–2435 and 82534–1, are the last 

registered products containing this 

active ingredient. The cancellation of 

the ten siduron products listed in Table 

1A, are the last registered products 

containing this active ingredient. 

Unless a request is withdrawn by the 

registrant or if the Agency determines 

that there are substantive comments that 

warrant further review of this request, 

EPA intends to issue an order in the 

Federal Register canceling and 

amending the affected registrations.
