information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Part B Permit Application, Permit

(EPA ICR No. 1573.13, OMB Control No.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

RCRA–2012–0757, online using

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. 

Dated: October 23, 2012.

Director, Office of Resource Conservation and 

Recovery.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[EPA–R09–RCRA–2011–0103; [FRL–9743–7] 

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.
