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


### 33548 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 112 / Wednesday, June 11, 2014 / Notices

jobs; and (3) determine whether LQGs have developed adequate procedures torespond 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.

**Notice of Availability of Draft NPDES General Permit for Small Municipal**  **Separate Storm Sewer Systems in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and**  **Federal Facilities Within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice of Draft NPDES General Permit. **SUMMARY :**  The Director of the Caribbean Environmental Protection Division (CEPD), Environmental Protection Agency—Region 2 (EPA), is issuing this Notice of a Draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit, PRR040000/PRR04000F, for discharges from small municipal separate storm sewer systems (small MS4) from urbanized areas within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to waters of the United States. This draft NPDES general permit establishes Notice of Intent (NOI) requirements, standards, prohibitions and management practices for discharges of storm water from small MS4s urbanized areas. A prior Notice of Availability of a draft general permit was issued by EPA in November 2005. EPA has substantially modified the draft general permit and is issuing a new draft general permit pursuant to 40 CFR part 124.

**DATES :**  Public comments must be received on or before August 11, 2014. Within the comment period, interested persons may request a public hearing pursuant to 40 CFR part 124 concerning the proposed permit. Requests for a public hearing must be sent or delivered in writing to the same address as provided below for public comments prior to the close of the comment period. Requests for a public hearing must state the nature of the issues proposed to be raised in the hearing. Pursuant to 40 CFR part 124, EPA shall hold a public hearing if it finds, on the basis of requests, a significant degree of public interest in a public hearing on the proposed permit. If EPA decides to hold a public hearing, a public notice of the date, time and place of the hearing will be made at least 30 days prior to the hearing.

. **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.
