Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2016 / Notices 25399 

report, at least every 2 years, the 

quantity and nature of hazardous waste 

generated and managed during that 

reporting cycle. Section 3004 requires 

treatment, storage, and disposal 

facilities (TSDFs) to report any waste 

received. This is mandatory reporting. 

The information is collected via the 

Hazardous Waste Report (EPA Form 

8700–13 A/B). This form is also known 

as the ‘‘Biennial Report’’ form. 

Section 3010 of RCRA requires any 

person who generates or transports 

regulated waste or who owns or 

operates a facility for the treatment, 

storage, or disposal of regulated waste to 

notify the EPA of their activities, 

including the location and general 

description of activities and the 

regulated wastes handled. The entity is 

then issued an EPA Identification 

number. Entities use the Notification 

Form (EPA Form 8700–12) to notify 

EPA of their hazardous waste activities. 

This form is also known as the 

‘‘Notification’’ form. On January 13, 

2015, EPA published the Definition of 

Solid Waste (DSW) final rule (80 FR 

1694), which revised the regulations 

related to certain exclusions from solid 

and hazardous waste regulation. 

Changes have been made to the 

Notification form to reflect this final 

rule. 

Section 3005 of RCRA requires TSDFs 

to obtain a permit. To obtain the permit, 

the TSDF must submit an application 

describing the facility’s operation. The 

RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit 

Application form (EPA Form 8700–23) 

defines the processes to be used for 

treatment, storage, and disposal of 

hazardous wastes; the design capacity of 

such processes; and the specific 

hazardous wastes to be handled at the 

facility. This form is also known as the 

‘‘Part A’’ form. 

Redline-strikeout versions of all three 

forms are available in the docket for this 

notice. 

Form numbers: 8700–12, 8700–13A/

B, and 8700–23. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Business or other for-profit as well as 

State, Local, or Tribal governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (RCRA Sections 3002, 3304, 

3005, 3010). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

50,692. 

Frequency of response: Biennially. 

Total estimated burden: 619,489 

hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $25,530,368 (per 

year), includes $285,088 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in estimates: The burden 

hours are likely to stay substantially the 

same.

Abstract: The international treaty The 

Montreal Protocol on Substances that 

Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol) and 

Title VI of the Clean Air Act 

Amendments (CAAA) established limits 

on total U.S. production, import, and 

export of class I and class II controlled 

ozone depleting substances (referred to 

hereinafter as ‘‘controlled substances’’). 

Under its Protocol commitments, the 

United States was obligated to cease 

production and import of class I 

controlled substances (e.g., 

chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs) with 

exemptions for essential uses, critical 

uses, previously-used material, and 

material that is transformed, destroyed, 

or exported to developing countries. 

The Protocol also establishes limits and 

reduction schedules leading to the 

eventual phaseout of class II controlled 

substances (i.e., 

hydrochlorofluorocarbons or HCFCs). 

The U.S. is obligated to limit HCFC 

consumption (defined by the Protocol as 

production plus imports, minus 

exports). The schedule called for a 35 

percent reduction on January 1, 2004, 

followed by a 75 percent reduction on 

January 1, 2010, a 90 percent reduction 

on January 1, 2015, a 99.5 percent 

reduction on January 1, 2020, and a total 

phaseout on January 1, 2030. EPA is 

responsible for administering the 

phaseout. To ensure U.S. compliance 

with these limits and restrictions, EPA 

established an allowance system to 

control U.S. production and import of 

HCFCs by granting control measures 

referred to as baseline and calendar-year 

allowances. Baseline allowances are 

based on the historical activity of 

individual companies. Calendar-year 

allowances allow holders to produce 

and/or import controlled substances in 

a given year and are allocated as a 

percentage of baseline. 

There are two types of baseline and 

calendar-year allowances: consumption 

and production allowances. Since each 

allowance is equal to 1 kilogram of 

HCFC, EPA is able to monitor the 

quantity of HCFCs being produced, 

imported and exported. Transfers of 

production and consumption 

allowances among producers and 

importers are allowed and are tracked 

by EPA. The above-described limits and 

restrictions are monitored by EPA 

through the recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements established in the 

regulations in 40 CFR part 82, subpart 

A. To submit required information, 

regulated entities can download 

reporting forms from EPA’s Web site 

(http://www.epa.gov/ozone/record), 

complete them, and send them to EPA 

electronically, via mail, courier, or fax. 

Upon receipt of the reports, the data is 

entered into the ODS Tracking System. 

The ODS Tracking System is a secure 

database that maintains the data 

submitted to EPA and helps the agency: 

(1) Maintain oversight over total 

production and consumption of 

controlled substances; (2) monitor 

compliance with limits and restrictions 

on production, imports, and trades and 

specific exemptions from the phaseout 

for individual U.S. companies; and (3) 

assess, and report on, compliance with 

U.S. obligations under the Montreal 

Protocol. EPA has implemented an 

electronic reporting system that allows 

regulated entities to prepare and submit 

data electronically. Coupled with the 

widespread use of the standardized 

forms, electronic reporting has 

improved data quality and made the 

reporting process efficient for both 

reporting companies and EPA. Most 

reporting is done electronically. 

Pursuant to regulations in 40 CFR part 

2, subpart B, reporting businesses are 

entitled to assert a business 

confidentiality claim covering any part 

of the submitted business information as 

defined in 40 CFR 2.201(c). EPA’s 

practice is to manage the reported 

information as confidential business 

information. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Companies that produce, import, and 

export class II controlled ozone 

depleting substances.
