SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: The 2001 Hazardous Waste

Report (Biennial Report), EPA ICR

Number 0976.10; OMB Control Number

2050–0024. This is a request for an

extension of a currently approved

collection.

Abstract: Large quantity generators of

hazardous waste and owners/operators

of hazardous waste facilities must

complete, under the authority of RCRA

sections 3002 and 3004, a report every

other year on the amount of waste they

generate and how it was managed. EPA

uses the information to understand

waste management practices, to expand

its database of information for

rulemakings, and to monitor compliance

with regulatory 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

numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register Notice

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published June 23,

2000 (65 FR 39142). We are

implementing all of the

recommendations described in the June

23, 2000 notice. Nine comments were

received on the June Notice, including

a comment from the Tribal Association

on Solid Waste and Emergency

Response (TASWER). TASWER asked

that a data element be added to the

Biennial Report that would identify

RCRA facilities on or adjacent to Indian

Country and Alaska Native Villages. We

have begun discussions with TASWER

to see how their information needs

might be met by the Biennial Report or

other means. However, this process

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 194 / Thursday, October 5, 2000 / Notices 59415

cannot be completed in time to make

changes to the 2001 Biennial Report.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 19.49 hours per

response. 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; 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.

Respondents/Affected Entities: Large

Quantity Generators and Treatment,

Storage, and Disposal Facilities.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

10,157.

Frequency of Response: Biennially.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

195,214 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Capital,

O&M Cost Burden: $26,000.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses

listed above.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 0976.10

and OMB Control No. 2050–0024 in any

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Hazardous Waste Specific Unit

Requirements, and Special Waste

Processes and Types (OMB Control No.

2050–0050; EPA ICR No. 1572.05)

expiring December 31, 2000. This is a

request for extension of a currently

approved collection.

Abstract: This ICR provides a

discussion of all of the information

collection requirements associated with

specific unit standards applicable to

owners and operators of facilities that

treat, store, or dispose of hazardous

wastes as defined by 40 CFR part 261.

It includes a detailed description of the

data items and respondent activities

associated with each requirement and

with each hazardous waste management

unit at a facility. The specific units and

processes included in this ICR are: Tank

Systems, Surface Impoundments, Waste

Piles, Land Treatment, Landfills,

Incinerators, Thermal Treatment,

Chemical/Physical, and Biological

Treatment, Miscellaneous (subpart X),

With each information collection

covered in this ICR, EPA is aiding the

goal of complying with its statutory

mandate under RCRA to develop

standards for hazardous waste

treatment, storage, and disposal

facilities, to protect human health and

the environment. Without the

information collection, the agency

cannot assure that the facilities are

designed and operated properly.

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 are listed
