EQPS–0316–234, ‘‘URG–MASS300 

Sequential PM2.5 Sampler,’’ operated with 

software (firmware) version 4B or 5.0.1, 

configured for ‘‘Multi 2.5’’ operation with a 

URG–2000–30EGN Cyclone particle size 

separator, and operated for a continuous 24- 

hour sample period at a flow rate of 16.67 

liters/minute, and in accordance with the 

URG–MASS300 Operator’s Manual and with 

the requirements and sample collection 

filters specified in 40 CFR part 50, appendix 

L. 

These applications for equivalent 

method determinations for the PM2.5

methods were received by the Office of 

Research and Development on March 

21, 2016. These monitors are 

commercially available from the 

applicant, URG Corporation, 116 S. 

Merritt Mill Rd., Chapel Hill, NC 27516. 

Representative test monitors have 

been tested in accordance with the 

applicable test procedures specified in 

40 CFR part 53, as amended on October 

26, 2015. After reviewing the results of 

those tests and other information 

submitted by the applicant, EPA has 

determined, in accordance with part 53, 

that these methods should be designated 

as a reference or equivalent methods. 

As designated reference and 

equivalent methods, these methods are 

acceptable for use by states and other air 

monitoring agencies under the 

requirements of 40 CFR part 58, 

Ambient Air Quality Surveillance. For 

such purposes, the methods must be 

used in strict accordance with the 

operation or instruction manual 

associated with the method and subject 

to any specifications and limitations 

(e.g., configuration or operational 

settings) specified in the designated 

method description (see the 

identification of the method above). 

Use of the methods also should be in 

general accordance with the guidance 

and recommendations of applicable 

sections of the ‘‘Quality Assurance 

Handbook for Air Pollution 

Measurement Systems, Volume I,’’ EPA/ 

600/R–94/038a and ‘‘Quality Assurance 

Handbook for Air Pollution 

Measurement Systems, Volume II, 

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring 

Program,’’ EPA–454/B–13–003, (both 

available at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/

amtic/qalist.html). Provisions 

concerning modification of such 

methods by users are specified under 

Section 2.8 (Modifications of Methods 

by Users) of appendix C to 40 CFR part 

58. 

Consistent or repeated noncompliance 

with any of these conditions should be 

reported to: Director, Exposure Methods 

and Measurements Division (MD–E205– 

01), National Exposure Research 

Laboratory, U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Research Triangle 

Park, North Carolina 27711. 

Designation of these reference and 

equivalent methods are intended to 

assist the States in establishing and 

operating their air quality surveillance 

systems under 40 CFR part 58. 

Questions concerning the commercial 

availability or technical aspects of the 

method should be directed to the 

applicant. 

Dated: April 19, 2016.

Activity, and Part A Hazardous Waste 

Permit Application and Modification. 

(EPA ICR No. 0976.18, OMB Control No. 

2050–0024 to the Office of Management

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 3002 of RCRA 

requires hazardous waste generators to 

mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES

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.

Recovery.
