12048 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2012 / Notices 

Abstract: The Resource Conservation 

and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as 

amended, requires EPA to establish a 

national regulatory program to ensure 

that hazardous wastes are managed in a 

manner protective of human health and 

the environment. Under this program 

(known as the RCRA Subtitle C 

program), EPA regulates newly 

generated hazardous wastes, as well as 

hazardous remediation wastes (i.e., 

hazardous wastes managed during 

cleanup). To facilitate prompt and 

protective treatment, storage, and 

disposal of hazardous remediation 

wastes, EPA established three 

requirements for remediation waste 

management sites that are different from 

those for facilities managing newly 

generated hazardous waste: (1) 

Performance standards for remediation 

waste management sites (40 CFR 

264.1(j)); (2) a provision excluding 

remediation waste management sites 

from requirements for facility-wide 

corrective action; and (3) a new form of 

RCRA permit for treating, storing, and 

disposing of hazardous remediation 

wastes (40 CFR part 270, subpart H). 

The new permit, a Remedial Action 

Plan (RAP), streamlines the permitting 

process for remediation waste 

management sites to allow cleanups to 

take place more quickly. 

In addition, EPA created a new kind 

of unit called a ‘‘staging pile’’ (40 CFR 

264.554) that allows more flexibility in 

storing remediation waste during 

cleanup. 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 in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: For owners/ 

operators of hazardous remediation 

waste management sites subject to the 

40 CFR 264.1(j) and part 270, subpart H 

requirements, the reporting burden is 

estimated to be 27.33 hours per 

respondent per year. This hourly burden 

includes time for preparing and 

submitting a RAP application, 

information to modify a RAP, and 

information to transfer a RAP. The 

recordkeeping burden is estimated to be 

42.13 hours per respondent per year. 

This hourly burden includes time for 

reading the regulations and maintaining 

documentation (e.g., waste analyses 

results, contingency and emergency 

plan, file of RAP documents) on site. 

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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 215. 

Frequency of response: One-time. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: One. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

6,953 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$483,576, which includes $459,103 

annualized labor and $24,473 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the

wastes. 

Title: Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Criteria for 

Classification of Solid Waste Disposal 

Facilities and Practices, Recordkeeping 

and Reporting Requirements—40 CFR 

part 257. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1745.07, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0154. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. 

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 in title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, and are displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: In order to effectively 

implement and enforce final changes to 

40 CFR part 257—subpart B on a State 

level, owners/operators of construction 

and demolition waste landfills that 

receive CESQG hazardous wastes will 

have to comply with the final reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements. 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 number for 

EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. This 

continuing ICR documents the 

recordkeeping and reporting burdens 

associated with the location and 

ground-water monitoring provisions 

contained in 40 CFR part 257—subpart 

B. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 74 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
12050 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2012 / Notices 

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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 152. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

11,215 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: $ (in 

thousands of dollars): $1,577,659, which 

includes $936,491 annualized capital or 

O&M costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is no change of hours in the 

total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

reflects EPA’s estimate that the recent 

trend of the number of C&D landfills has 

stabilized at the current level. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the
