SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this document announces

that the following new Information

Collection Request (ICR) has been

forwarded to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and

approval: Hazardous Waste Combustors;

Revised Standards; Final Rule—Part 1,

EPA No. 1840.01. The ICR describes the

nature of the information collection and

its expected burden and cost.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before February 27, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

No. 1840.01.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Hazardous Waste Combustors;

Revised Standards; Final Rule—Part 1,

EPA No. 1840.01. This is a new

collection.

Abstract: On April 19, 1996, EPA

proposed revised standards for

hazardous waste combustors (HWCs)

(61 FR 17358), defined as incinerators,

cement kilns, and light-weight aggregate

kilns that burn hazardous waste. These

rules were proposed under joint

authority of the Resource Conservation

and Recovery (RCRA) and the Clean Air

Act (CAA), as amended. The proposal

fulfills the Agency’s commitments to

meet CAA requirements and also to

upgrade the emission standards for

hazardous waste burning facilities, as

outlined in the 1994 Hazardous Waste

Combustion Strategy.

In the rulemaking entitled

‘‘Hazardous Waste Combustors; Revised

Standards; Final Rule—Part 1,’’ EPA

finalizes some of the requirements
4250 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 18 /Wednesday, January 28, 1998 / Notices

contained in the earlier proposal. This

ICR covers reporting and recordkeeping

provisions of the new requirements. The

changes to the RCRA regulations: (1)

outline provisions for excluding

generators of comparable/syngas fuel

from the definition of solid waste under

40 CFR part 261; and (2) provide new

RCRA permit modification provisions to

make it easier for facilities to make

changes to existing permits when

adding air pollution equipment or

making other changes in equipment or

operation needed to comply with the

upcoming air emission standards.

In addition to the RCRA changes,

under the CAA the rule establishes 40

CFR part 63, subpart EEE, which applies

to HWCs. As a first step in establishing

national emission standards for

hazardous air pollutants (NESHAPs) for

HWCs (these standards were proposed

on April 19, 1996 at 61 FR 17358), part

63, subpart EEE provides public

notification and regulatory notification

of intent to comply (NIC) provisions.

These provisions require HWCs to

submit materials to EPA outlining their

plan to comply with the forthcoming

NESHAP standards, which will be

promulgated at a later date. These

provisions also allow for extensions to

the compliance period to promote the

installation of cost effective pollution

prevention technologies to replace or

supplement emission control

technologies for meeting the emission

standards.

EPA is collecting the information for

this rule to ensure adequate

environmental protection. The

information being collected is primarily

for facilities to demonstrate to EPA that

they meet the necessary criteria for

regulatory exemptions. The information

is necessary for EPA to ensure that the

specified facilities are appropriately

regulated, but that duplicate regulation

is not taking place. EPA also requires

the HWC notification procedures to

ensure stakeholder involvement and to

ensure that facilities are preparing to

comply with the forthcoming NESHAPs

for HWCs. Responses to this information

collection are mandatory according to

the Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The proposed rule was published on

April 19, 1996 (61 FR 17358); and no

comments were received on the

information requirements.

Burden Statement: For those

generators applying for the comparable/

syngas fuel exemption, the average

annual respondent reporting burden is

estimated to be 0.5 hours per facility

and the average annual recordkeeping

burden is estimated to be 24.9 hours per

facility. For burners of comparable/

syngas fuels, there is no reporting

burden and the annual recordkeeping

burden is 3.3 hours per facility. For

HWCs complying with the notification

of intent to comply regulations, the

average annual reporting burden (to

EPA) is 60.4 hours per facility and the

average annual recordkeeping burden is

9.0 hours per facility. 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; 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:

Hazardous waste combustors.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

315.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

12,905 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: $1,660,000.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1840.01 in

any correspondence.

Abstract: The Clean Water Act, as

The 1987 Act declares that water

pollution control revolving loan funds

shall be administered by an

instrumentality of the State subject to

the requirements of the Act. This means

that each State has a general
