*Abstract:*                     The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires EPA to establish a national regulatory program to ensure that hazardous wastes are managed in a manner protective of human health and the environment. Under this program, EPA regulates newly generated hazardous wastes, as well as hazardous remediation wastes (                    *i.e.,*                     hazardous wastes managed during cleanup). Hazardous remediation waste management sites must comply with all parts of 40 CFR part 264 except subparts B, C, and D. In place of these requirements, they need to comply with performance standards based on the general requirement goals in these sections, which are codified at 40 CFR 264.1(j).                

Under § 264.1(j), owners/operators of remediation waste management sites must develop and maintain procedures to prevent accidents. These procedures must address proper design, construction, maintenance, and operation of hazardous remediation waste management units at the site. In addition, owners/operators must develop and maintain a contingency and emergency plan to control accidents that occur. The plan must explain specifically how to treat, store, and dispose of the hazardous remediation waste in question, and must be implemented immediately whenever fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents that could threaten human health or the environment. In addition, the Remedial Action Plan streamlines the permitting process for remediation waste management sites to allow cleanups to take place more quickly.

*Form Numbers:*                     None.                

*Respondents/affected entities:*                     Entities potentially affected by this action are the private sector, as well as State, Local, or Tribal governments.                

*Respondent's obligation to respond:*                     Mandatory (RCRA § 3004(u)).                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     170.                

*Frequency of response:*                     One-time.                

*Total estimated burden:*                     5,114 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).                

*Total estimated cost:*                     $348,088 (per year), which includes $53,693 in annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.                

*Changes in the estimates:*                     There is a decrease of 1,247 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to an adjustment in Agency calculations.
