    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;

[[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.
