AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

RCRA Expanded Public Participation 

(EPA ICR No. 1688.08, OMB Control No. 

2050–0149) to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

approval in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Before doing so, the 

EPA is soliciting public comments on 

specific aspects of the proposed 

information collection as described 

below. This is a proposed extension of 

the ICR, which is currently approved 

through June 30, 2015. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before May 12, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

RCRA–2015–0108, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to rcra-docket@

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC 20460. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other

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: Section 7004(b) of RCRA 

gives the EPA broad authority to 

provide for, encourage, and assist public 

participation in the development, 

revision, implementation, and 

enforcement of any regulation, 

guideline, information, or program 

under RCRA. An example of this is at 

40 CFR 124.31(a) and (b), facilities 

applying for an initial part B permit or 

a part B permit renewal, where the 

renewal application is proposing a 

change that would qualify as a Class 3 

permit modification under 40 CFR 

270.42, are required to hold at least one 

meeting with the public prior to 

submitting the part B permit application 

to the permitting agency. The applicant 

must submit a summary of the meeting, 

along with the list of attendees and their 

addresses, and copies of any written 

comments or materials submitted at the 

meeting, to the permitting agency as 

part of the part B application 

(§ 124.31(c)). Under 40 CFR 124.31(d), 

applicants must provide public notice 

(i.e., newspaper advertisement, visible 

and accessible sign, and broadcast 

media announcement) of the preapplication meeting at least 30 days 

prior to the meeting. The applicant also 

mush provide a copy of the notice to the 

permitting agency and to the 

appropriate units of State and local 

government. 

In addition, the statute specifies 

certain public notices (i.e., radio, 

newspaper, and a letter to relevant 

agencies) that the EPA must provide 

before issuing any RCRA permit. The 

statute also establishes a process by 

which the public can dispute a permit 

and request a public hearing to discuss 

it. The EPA carries out much of its 

RCRA public involvement at 40 CFR 

parts 124 and 270. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

Businesses and other for-profit. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

mandatory (RCRA 7004(b)). 

Estimated number of respondents: 33. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 3,005 hours. 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $195,914, which 

includes $192,365 annualized labor 

costs and $3,549 annualized capital or 

O&M costs. 

Changes in Estimates: The burden 

hours are likely to stay substantially the 

same.
