**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency is planning to submit an information collection request (ICR), ‘‘Part B Permit Application, Permit Modifications, and Special Permits’’ (EPA ICR No. 1573.13, OMB Control No. 2050–0009) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq. ). Before doing so, 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 February 28, 2013. 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 January 4, 2013.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit your comments, referencing by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– RCRA–2012–0757, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), by email to rcradocket@epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460.

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 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. 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, 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 3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires treatment, storage or disposal facilities (TSDFs) to obtain a permit. To obtain the permit, the TSDFs must submit an application describing the facility’s operation. There are two parts to the RCRA permit application— Part A and Part B. Part A 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. Part B requires detailed site specific information such as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering data. In the event that permit modifications are proposed by the applicant or EPA, modifications must conform to the requirements under Sections 3004 and
3005.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Business or other for-profit; as well as State, Local, or Tribal governments.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA 3005).

Estimated number of respondents: 97. Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 33,260 Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $7,956,839, which includes $2,254,188 annualized labor costs and $5,702,651 annualized capital or O&M costs.

Changes in Estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay substantially the

same.

**Adequacy of Arizona Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Permit Program** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice of public hearing and continued opportunity to comment.

**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency Region IX will hold a public hearing concerning the agency’s tentative determination to approve a modification to Arizona’s municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) permit program to allow the State to issue research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) permits for new and existing MSWLF units and lateral expansions. EPA published its tentative determination on February 22, 2011 and offered an opportunity for a public hearing. Initially, EPA closed its comment period on April 25, 2011 and announced it would not hold a public hearing. Since that time, in response to public interest and updates to Arizona’s RD&D permit program, EPA decided to hold a public hearing, extend the comment period through the date of the public hearing, and make available for public review the updated information submitted by Arizona in support of its RD&D program.
