Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: Under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 

as amended, Congress directed EPA to 

implement a comprehensive program 

for the safe management of hazardous 

waste. The core of the national waste 

management program is the regulation 

of hazardous waste from generation to 

transport to treatment and eventual 

disposal, or from ‘‘cradle to grave.’’ 

Section 3001(d) of RCRA requires EPA 

to develop standards for small quantity 

generators. Section 3002 of RCRA states, 

among other things, that EPA shall 

establish requirements for hazardous 

waste generators regarding 

recordkeeping practices. Section 3002 

also requires EPA to establish standards 

on appropriate use of containers by 

generators. Finally, Section 3017 of 

RCRA specifies requirements for 

individuals exporting hazardous waste 

from the United States, including a 

notification of the intent to export, and 

an annual report summarizing the types, 

quantities, frequency, and ultimate 

destination of all exported hazardous 

waste. 

This ICR addresses the following 

categories of informational requirements 

in part 262: Pre-transport requirements 

for both large (LQG) and small (SQG) 

quantity generators; storage 

requirements in tanks, containment 

buildings and drip pads; air emission 

standards requirements for LQGs 

(referenced in 40 CFR Part 265, Subparts 

AA and BB); recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements for LQGs and 

SQGs; and export requirements for 

LQGs and SQGs (i.e., notification of 

intent to export and annual reporting). 

This collection of information is 

necessary to help generators and EPA: 

(1) Identify and understand the waste 

streams being generated and the hazards 

associated with them; (2) determine 

whether employees have acquired the 

necessary expertise to perform their 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
33548 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 112 / Wednesday, June 11, 2014 / Notices 

jobs; and (3) determine whether LQGs 

have developed adequate procedures to 

respond to unplanned sudden or nonsudden releases of hazardous waste or 

hazardous constituents to air, soil, or 

surface water. This information is also 

needed to help EPA determine whether 

tank systems are operated in a manner 

that is fully protective of human health 

and the environment and to ensure that 

releases to the environment are 

managed quickly and efficiently. 

Additionally, this information 

contributes to EPA’s goal of preventing 

contamination of the environment from 

hazardous waste accumulation 

practices, including contamination from 

equipment leaks and process vents. 

Export information is needed to ensure 

that: (1) Foreign governments consent to 

U.S. exported wastes; (2) exported waste 

is actually managed at facilities listed in 

the original notifications; and (3) 

documents are available for compliance 

audits and enforcement actions. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

private business or other for-profit. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

mandatory (40 CFR Part 262 and 265). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

90,675. 

Frequency of response: Occasionally 

and biennially. 

Total estimated burden: 275,842 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $15,046,505, 

which includes $14,991,809 annualized 

labor costs and $54,696 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in Estimates: The burden 

hours are likely to stay substantially the 

same.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

proposing to reissue the draft NPDES 

general permit for the discharge of 

stormwater from small MS4s to waters 

within the Commonwealth of Puerto 

Rico. The permit describes three distinct 

small MS4s. These are the conventional 

cities and towns; Non-Conventional 

state, federal and other publicly owned 

systems; and Non-Conventional 

transportation systems. 

The conditions in the draft permit are 

established pursuant to Clean Water Act 

(CWA) Part 402(p)(3)(iii) to ensure that 

pollutant discharges from small 

municipal separate storm sewer systems 

(small MS4s) are reduced to the 

maximum extent practicable (MEP), 

protect water quality, and satisfy the 

appropriate water quality requirements 

of the CWA. The term small municipal 

separate storm sewer system is available 

in 40 CFR part 122.26(b). In addition, 

this term also includes systems similar 

to separate storm sewer systems and 

flood management conveyances in 

municipalities such as military bases, 

large hospital or prison complexes, 

highways, and flood control pump 

stations, and other thoroughfares. The 

term does not include separate storm 

sewers in very discrete areas, such as 

individual buildings. For example, an 

armory located in an urbanized area 

would not be considered a regulated 

small MS4. 

The draft general permit sets forth the 

requirements for the small MS4 to 

‘‘reduce the discharge of pollutants to 

the maximum extent practicable, 

including management practices, 

control techniques, and system, design 

and engineering methods’’ (See Section 

402(p)(3)(B)(iii) of the CWA). MEP is the 

statutory standard that establishes the 

level of pollutant reductions that MS4 

operators must achieve. EPA believes 

that implementation of best 

management practices (BMPs) designed 

to control storm water runoff from the 

MS4 is generally the most appropriate 

approach for reducing pollutants to 

satisfy the MEP standard. Pursuant to 40 

CFR 122.44(k), the draft permit contains 

BMPs, including development and 

implementation of a comprehensive 

stormwater management program 

(SWMP) as the mechanism to achieve 

the required pollutant reductions.
