# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through January 31, 2025. 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.

                    Public comments were previously requested via the                     **Federal Register**                     on May 13, 2024 during a 60-day comment period (89 FR 41433). This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. Supporting documents, which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at                     *www.regulations.gov*                     or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit                     *http://www.epa.gov/​dockets.*

*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;       ( print page 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.
