Title: Standardized Permit for RCRA 

Hazardous Waste Management Facilities 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1935.04, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0182. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on January 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: Under the authority of 

sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010 of 

the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) is finalizing revisions to the 

RCRA hazardous waste permitting 

program to allow a ‘‘standardized 

permit.’’ The standardized permit is 

available to facilities that generate 

hazardous waste and routinely manage 

the waste on-site in non-thermal units 

such as tanks, containers, and 

containment buildings. This ICR 

presents a comprehensive description of 

the information collection requirements 

for owners and operators submitting 

applications for a standardized permit 

or a standardized permit modification. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 82 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: Private 

businesses that generate hazardous 

waste. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

866. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

15,045 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,307,837, includes $695,868 

annualized labor costs and $611,969 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.

Title: BEACH Act Grant Program 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2048.04, 

OMB Control No. 2040–0244. 

ICR Status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 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

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 Beaches Environmental 

Assessment and Coastal Health 

(BEACH) Act amends the Clean Water 

Act (CWA) in part and authorizes the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) to award BEACH Act Program 

Development and Implementation 

Grants to coastal and Great Lakes states, 

tribes, and territories (collectively 

referred to as states) for their beach 

monitoring and notification programs. 

The grants will assist those states to 

develop and implement a consistent 

approach to monitor recreational water 

quality; assess, manage, and 

communicate health risks from 

waterborne microbial contamination; 

notify the public of pollution 

occurrences; and post beach advisories 

and closures to prevent public exposure 

to microbial pathogens. To qualify for a 

BEACH Act Grant, a state must submit 

information to the EPA documenting 

that its beach monitoring and 

notification program is consistent with 

nine performance criteria outlined in 

the National Beach Guidance and 

Required Performance Criteria for 

Grants. For the EPA to award a BEACH 

Implementation Grant, a state must 

document that its coastal monitoring 

and notification program includes or 

will include the following: 

• A risk-based beach evaluation and 

classification plan. 

• A sampling design and monitoring 

implementation plan. 

• Monitoring report submission and 

delegation procedures. 

• Methods and assessment 

procedures. 

• A public notification and risk 

communication plan. 

• Measures to notify the EPA and 

local governments. 

• Measures to notify the public. 

• Notification report submission and 

delegation procedures. 

• Public evaluation of the program. 

Beach program information will be 

collected by the EPA’s Office of Science 

and Technology and the applicable EPA 

regions. All information except the 

monitoring and notification reports will 

be stored in the applicable regions. The 

monitoring and notification information 

will be stored in the eBEACHES 

Database and displayed on the EPA’s 

Beaches Web site for use by the public, 

state environmental and public health 

agencies, and the EPA. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 2,400 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: State 

environmental and public health 

agencies in coastal or Great Lakes 

regions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

37. 

Frequency of Response: Submitting 

monitoring and notification reports: 

quarterly; all other reporting: Annual. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

88,800. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$11,463,626. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $7,520,546 and an 

estimated cost of $3,943,080 for 

maintenance and operational costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 6,147 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with that identified in the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This decrease is 

primarily due to a reduction in the 

estimated number of respondents, as the 

three tribes who had previously been 

expected to apply for grants have not 

done so. EPA expects that no new 

jurisdictions will become eligible for 

BEACH Act grant in the next three 

years. There is a slight increase in the 

per respondent burden due to EPA’s 

expectation that states will voluntarily 

report monitoring and notification data 

more frequently in order to improve 

public health protection at beaches 

through increased timeliness of water 

quality results at beaches nationwide. 

However the burden of this increased 

frequency is somewhat offset by 

increased efficiency in reporting due to 

technological improvements to data 

systems such as eBEACHES.
