What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are States. 

Title: Final Authorization for 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Programs. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0969.09, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0041. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on February 29, 

2012. 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 in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed 

either by publication in the Federal 

Register or by other appropriate means, 

such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: In order for a State to obtain 

final authorization for a State hazardous 

waste program or to revise its previously 

authorized program, it must submit an 

official application to the EPA Regional 

office for approval. The purpose of the 

application is to enable EPA to properly 

determine whether the State’s program 

meets the requirements of § 3006 of 

RCRA. A State with an approved 

program may voluntarily transfer 

program responsibilities to EPA by 

notifying EPA of the proposed transfer, 

as required by section 271.23. Further, 

EPA may withdraw a State’s authorized 

program under section 271.23. 

State program revision may be 

necessary when the controlling Federal 

or State statutory or regulatory authority 

is modified or supplemented. In the 

event that the State is revising its 

program by adopting new Federal 

requirements, the State shall prepare 

and submit modified revisions of the 

program description, Attorney General’s 

statement, Memorandum of Agreement, 

or such other documents as EPA 

determines to be necessary. The State 

shall inform EPA of any proposed 

modifications to its basic statutory or 

regulatory authority in accordance with 

section 271.21. If a State is proposing to 

transfer all or any part of any program 

from the approved State agency to any 

other agency, it must notify EPA in 

accordance with section 271.21 and 

submit revised organizational charts as 

required under section 271.6, in 

accordance with section 271.21. These 

paperwork requirements are mandatory 

under § 3006(a). EPA will use the 

information submitted by the State in 

order to determine whether the State’s 

program meets the statutory and 

regulatory requirements for 

authorization. 

Burden Statement: For a State 

developing and revising a base program 

under RCRA and conducting public 

participation activities, EPA estimates 

that the reporting burden, with no 

associated recordkeeping burden, 

averages 0 hours per respondent. EPA 

does not expect any States to develop a 

program application or to submit a base 

program application over the three year 

period covered in this ICR. The 

reporting burden includes the time for 

developing each program component, 

allowing for public approval, and 

subsequently modifying and submitting 

the program to EPA. For a State 

submitting a revised program to EPA, 

the reporting burden is estimated to be 

1009 hours per year, with no associated 

recordkeeping burden. For a State 

whose program is being withdrawn, the 

reporting burden is estimated to average 

207 hours, with no associated 

recordkeeping burden. EPA, however, 

does not expect that any State program 

will be withdrawn during the next three 

years. 

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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 58. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

19,968 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$658,454, which includes $658,454 

annualized labor costs and $0 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the

other for-profit as well as Farms. 

Title: Requirements for Generators, 

Transporters, and Waste Management 

Facilities Under the RCRA Hazardous 

Waste Manifest System. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0801.18, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0039. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on February 29, 

2012. 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 in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed 

either by publication in the Federal

such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated

Abstract: The Resource Conservation 

and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, 

establishes a national program to assure 

that hazardous waste management 

practices are conducted in a manner 

that is protective of human health and 

the environment. EPA’s authority to 


wreier-aviles on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 183 / Wednesday, September 21, 2011 / Notices 58495 

require compliance with the manifest 

system stems primarily from RCRA 

section 3002(a)(5). This section 

mandates a hazardous waste manifest 

‘‘system’’ to assure that all hazardous 

waste generated is designated for and 

arrives at the appropriate treatment, 

storage, and disposal facility. An 

essential part of this manifest system is 

the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest 

(Form 8700–22A). The manifest is a 

tracking document that accompanies the 

waste from its generation site to its final 

disposition. The manifest lists the 

wastes that are being shipped and the 

final destination of the waste. The 

manifest system is a self-enforcing 

mechanism that requires generators, 

transporters, and owner/operators of 

treatment, storage, and disposal 

facilities to participate in hazardous 

waste tracking. In addition the manifest 

provides information to transporters and 

waste management facility workers on 

the hazardous nature of the waste, 

identifies wastes so that they can be 

managed appropriately in the event of 

an accident, spill, or leak, and ensures 

that shipments of hazardous waste are 

managed properly and delivered to their 

designated facilities.
