Abstract: This information collection 

will provide the EPA with necessary 

information about the operations of 

drum reconditioners and similar 

facilities that clean out and recondition 

used industrial containers. The Agency 

needs this information to determine 

whether future regulatory or nonregulatory action is needed to address 

environmental issues identified in the 

EPA’s Drum Reconditioner Damage Case 

Report, published in September 2022. 

The data collected through this ICR will 

advance the Agency’s mission of 

protecting human health and the 

environment by determining the current 

engineering controls and standard 

practices employed at these facilities, 

and by collecting additional information 

about the environmental impacts these 

facilities may have on surrounding 

communities and the wider 

environment. All information submitted 

to the agency in response to the ICR that 

is claimed as confidential will be 

managed in accordance with applicable 

laws and EPA’s regulations governing 

treatment of confidential business 

information at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. 

Any information determined to 

constitute a trade secret will be 

protected under 18 U.S.C. 1905. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: This 

ICR applies to all facilities engaged in 

drum and/or industrial container 

reconditioning and/or recycling. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under section 3007 of RCRA 

(42 U.S.C. 6927). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

216 (total). 

Frequency of response: One-time 

response. 

Total estimated burden: 1,333 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $136,000 (per 

year), which includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: Not 

applicable; this is a new ICR, so there 

is no previous burden.

Abstract: Section 3004 of the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA), as amended, requires the 

EPA to develop standards for hazardous 

waste treatment, storage, and disposal 

facilities (TSDFs) as may be necessary to 

protect human health and the 

environment. Subsections 3004(a)(1), 

(3), (4), (5), and (6) specify that these 

standards include, but not be limited to, 

the following requirements: 

• Maintaining records of all 

hazardous wastes identified or listed 

under subtitle C that are treated, stored, 

or disposed of, and the manner in which 

such wastes were treated, stored, or 

disposed of; 

• Operating methods, techniques, and 

practices for treatment, storage, or 

disposal of hazardous waste; 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 225 / Thursday, November 21, 2024 / Notices 92125 

• Location, design, and construction 

of such hazardous waste treatment, 

disposal, or storage facilities; 

• Contingency plans for effective 

action to minimize unanticipated 

damage from any treatment, storage, or 

disposal of any such hazardous waste; 

and 

• Maintaining or operating such 

facilities and requiring such additional 

qualifications as to ownership, 

continuity of operation, training for 

personnel, and financial responsibility 

as may be necessary or desirable. 

The regulations implementing these 

requirements are codified in 40 CFR 

parts 264 and 265. The collection of this 

information enables the EPA to properly 

determine whether owners/operators or 

hazardous waste treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities meet the requirements 

of Section 3004(a) of RCRA. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Business and other for-profit, as well as 

State, Local, and Tribal governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (RCRA section 3004). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,080. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 548,719 

hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $37,660,196 (per 

year), which includes $310,045 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is 

decrease of 9,322 hours with this 

renewal. This decrease is due to a 

decrease in the overall number of 

facilities. This corresponds to an 

increase in the number of facilities in 

post-closure.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For EPA 

programs and regions, this newly 

developed document, Interim 

Framework for Advancing 

Consideration of Cumulative Impacts 

provides a shared reference point as 

they determine when and how to 

analyze and consider cumulative 

impacts. This framework is not intended 

to provide detailed instructions on how 

to consider cumulative impacts in 

specific contexts, nor does it set the 

expectation that the principles and 

approaches to considering cumulative 

impacts will be applied in every 

programmatic context. The EPA’s 

programs will incorporate the 

Framework into their processes and 

programs, as appropriate, feasible, and 

consistent with applicable law, in ways 

that reflect programmatic and contextspecific needs. Public input will be 

considered for potential incorporation 

into the document by the EPA for this 

non-regulatory action. Public input will 

also inform the EPA’s expanding 

knowledge along with results from 

scientific research and program 

evaluation. The Interim Cumulative 

Impacts Framework can be found in the 

docket and at https://www.epa.gov/ 

cumulative-impacts/interim-frameworkadvancing-consideration-cumulativeimpacts.
