Title: Emergency Planning and 

Release Notification Requirements 

under Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act Sections 

302, 303, and 304 (Renewal). 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1395.08, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0092. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on July 31, 2012. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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: The authority for these 

requirements is sections 302, 303, and 

304 of the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA), 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11002, 11003, 

and 11004). EPCRA established broad 

emergency planning and facility 

reporting requirements. Section 302 

requires facilities to notify their state 

emergency response commission (SERC) 

that the facility is subject to emergency 

planning. This activity has been 

completed; this ICR covers only new 

facilities that are subject to this 

requirement. Section 303 requires the 

local emergency planning committees 

(LEPCs) to prepare emergency plans for 

facilities that are subject to section 302. 

This activity has been also completed; 

this ICR only covers any updates needed 

for these emergency response plans. 

Section 304 requires facilities to report 

to SERCs and LEPCs releases in excess 

of the reportable quantities listed for 

each extremely hazardous substance 

(EHS). This ICR also covers the 

notification and the written follow-up 

required under this section. The 

implementing regulations and the list of 

substances for emergency planning and 

emergency release notification are 

codified in 40 CFR part 355. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 2.4 hours per 

response. 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Chemical manufacturers, non-chemical 

manufacturers, retailers, petroleum 

refineries, utilities, etc. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

110,456. 

Frequency of Response: Once, on 

occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

267,206. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$13,626,107, includes $0 annualized 

capital and $60,327 annualized O&M 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: The number 

of respondents increased by 12,000 from 

the previous ICR. This is due to an 

increase in the number of reports of 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 (CERCLA) hazardous 

substance and Extremely Hazardous 

Substance (EHS) releases reported to the 

National Response Center in 2011. 

There is a decrease of 28,550 hours from 

the previous ICR due to adjustments for 

current burden estimates. There is a 

decrease of $8,392 O&M costs which is 

also due to adjustments to the estimates.

Title: Hazardous Remediation Waste 

Management Requirements (HWIR– 

Media) (Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1775.06, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0161. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on July 31, 2012. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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, 

and 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: The Resource Conservation 

and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as 

amended, 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 

(known as the RCRA Subtitle C 

program), EPA regulates newly 

generated hazardous wastes, as well as 

hazardous remediation wastes (i.e., 

hazardous wastes managed during 

cleanup). To facilitate prompt and 

protective treatment, storage, and 

disposal of hazardous remediation 

wastes, EPA established three 

requirements for remediation waste 

management sites that are different from 

those for facilities managing newly 

generated hazardous waste: (1) 

Performance standards for remediation 

waste management sites (40 CFR 

264.1(j)); (2) a provision excluding 

remediation waste management sites 

from requirements for facility-wide 

corrective action; and (3) a new form of 

RCRA permit for treating, storing, and 

disposing of hazardous remediation 

wastes (40 CFR part 270, subpart H). 

The new permit, a Remedial Action 

Plan (RAP), streamlines the permitting 

process for remediation waste 

management sites to allow cleanups to 

take place more quickly. 

In addition, EPA created a new kind 

of unit called a ‘‘staging pile’’ (40 CFR 

264.554) that allows more flexibility in 

storing remediation waste during 

cleanup. 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 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 32 hours per 

response. For Respondents in Private 

entities, it is estimated to average 28 

hours per response. For Respondents in 

States, it is estimated to average 51 

hours per response. 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Businesses or other for-profit, States. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

215. 

Frequency of Response: Once. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

6,953 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$397,489, which includes $371,571 in 

annualized labor costs and $25,918 in 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated hour 

burden currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. 

There is an increase of $1,445 in O&M 

costs which is due to updating estimates 

to current levels.
