**1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION**  **1(a) TITLE AND NUMBER OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION**  This Information Collection Request (ICR) is entitled “ 201 3 Hazardous Waste Report, Notification of Regulated Waste Activity , and Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification (Revision) ,” EPA I CR Number 0976.1 6 , OMB Number 2050
- 0024
. **1(b) CHARACTERIZATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION**  This is a request to amend a currently approved ICR of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA): “2011 Hazardous Waste Report, Notification of Regulated Waste Activity , and Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification,” EPA I CR Number 0976.15 (OMB Control Number 2050
- 0024 ). The IC R addresses the following requirements:

 **Hazardous Wast e Report requirements**  of Sections 3002 and 3004 of RCRA, as amended, which require reporting to EPA or to authorized States at least every two ye ars. The Hazardous Waste Report [EPA Form 8700
- 13 Form A/B], or comparable State report, is used b y generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) to satisfy

this requirement.

 **Notification requirements** of Section 3010 of RCRA , as amended ; 40 CFR 260.42 (hazardous secondary

material activity); 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K (alternative generator standards for academic laboratories); 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C (universal waste activity) ; and 40 CFR Part 279 (used oil activity). EPA Form 8700
- 12 is used by facilities to satisfy this requirement.

 **Permit application requirements** of Sections 3004 and 3005 of RCRA, as amended, which require anyone who owns or operates a facility where hazardous waste is treated, stored, or disposed to have a RCRA hazardous waste permit issued by EPA. There are two parts to a RCRA hazardous waste permit application: Part A and Part B. Part A consists of EPA Form 8700
- 23 , or comparable State form , along with maps, drawings, and photographs, as required b y 40 CFR 270 .13. Part B contains detailed, site
- specific information. There is no form for the Part B Permit Application; rather, the Part B Permit Application must be submitted in narrative form and contain the information described in applicable sections of 40 CFR 270.14 through 270.27. This ICR addresses the information collection requirements associated with completing and submitting a Part A P ermit Application , or modifying a hazardous waste permit by submitting a revised application. The information collectio n requirements associated with the Part B Permit Application are covered under a separate ICR. EPA integrated the above requirements into this ICR to ensure consistency and minimize duplication in its burden assumptions and estimates, given that all three requirements address some of the same reporting elements. In particular, all three requirements address the use of the RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (i.e., the Site ID Form). Specifically , the Hazardous

## 4

Waste Report address es the requirement for large quantity generators (LQGs) 1 

## and TSDFs to prepare and submit the Site ID Form as part of their Hazardous Waste Report. The notification addresses the requirement for all regulated entities to submit the Site ID Form (or alternative document, if specified) to notif y EPA or the authorized State of regulated waste activity. The Part A Permit Application address es the requirement for all owner/operators of TSDFs to submit the Site ID Form as part of their Part A Permit Applications or Part A Permit Modifications. In corporating these three requirements into this I CR has allowed EPA to more comprehensivel y estimate the burden of the Site ID Form and other collections, ensure consistency and nonduplication in its analysis, and address changes to the Site ID Form. Sections 1 through 5 of this document describe the information collection requirements covered in this ICR (e.g., in regard to need and use of the information collected). Section 6 estimates the annual hour and cost burden to respondents and the Agency under these requirements. The following paragraphs briefly summarize the information collection requirements covered in this ICR. **NOTE :**  As used in this document , the term “respondent” includes:

 

## Hazardous waste facilities complying with the Hazardous Waste Report, notification, and Part A Permit Application requirements cov ered in this ICR. This includes:

 Private sector entities; and

 State and local government agencies that are regulated entities 2



## .

 

## State agencies administering the RCRA hazardous waste program 3



## . **(1 )**  **Hazardous Waste Report** RCRA Sections 3002 and 3004, as amended b y the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA), require reporting to EPA or to authorized States at least every tw o years. The Hazardous Waste Report [EPA Form 8700
- 13 Form A/B], or comparable State report, is used b y generators and TSDFs to satisfy this requirement. Hazardous waste generators and TSDFs report information on the quantities, ty pe, and management meth od of generated hazardous wastes and hazardous wastes received from off
- site. The data collected are used by EPA’s Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) to prepare a national report that is made available to Congress and the public, summariz ing

1 

### An LQG is a facility that generates 1,000 kilograms (2,200 pounds) or more of hazardous waste in any single calendar month, or more than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of acute hazardous waste in any single calendar month, or more than 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of acute hazardous waste spill clean
- up material in any single calendar mo nth. 2 

### Addressing State and l ocal government agencies as “respondents” is consistent with EPA’s interpretation of the definition of respondent in the Paperwork Reducti on Act (PRA).

hazardous waste generation and management activities. The data also are used by EPA and the States for programmatic and regulatory needs. **(2) Notification of Regulated Waste Activity**  **(a) Notification of Hazardous Secondary Material Activity under 40 CFR**  **260.42** 40 CFR 260.42(a) provides that hazardous secondary material generators, tolling contractors, toll manufacturers, reclaimers, and intermediate facilities managing hazardous secondary materials which are excluded from regulation under section 261.2(a)(2)(ii) or section 261.4(a)(23), (24), or (25) must send a notification prior to operating under the exclusion(s) and by March 1 of each even numbered year thereafter to the Regional Administrator using EPA Form 8700
- 12 (i.e., the Site ID Form) that includes the specified information at section 260.42(a)(1)
- (10). Section 260.42(b) provides that, if a hazardous secondary material generator, tolling contractor, toll manufacturer, reclaimer or intermediate facility has submitted a notification, but then su bsequently

stops managing hazardous secondary materials in accordance with the exclusion(s), the facility

must notify

the Regional Administrator within thirty (30) days using EPA Form 8700
- 12. For purposes of this section, a facility has stopped managing hazardous secondary materials if the facility no longer generates, manages and/or reclaims hazardous secondary materials under the exclusion(s) and does not expect to manage any amount of hazardous secondary

materials for at least one year. **(b) Notification**  **of Hazardous Waste Activity under RCRA Section 3010** Facilities that generate, transport, recycle, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste as defined b y 40 CFR Part 261 must notify EPA of their hazardous waste activities and obtain an EPA Identificatio n Number. All of these facilities are required to use EPA Form 8700
- 12 (i.e., the Site ID Form) to notify EPA of their hazardous waste activities. These notification requirements are codified at 40 CFR Parts 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 270, and 273. The sp ecific notification requirements for each of these parts are described below and listed in Table 1. 40 CFR Parts 262, 263, 264, and 265 include the notification requirements for generators, transporters, and owners or operators of permitted and interim status TSDFs, respectivel y. Sections 262.12, 263.11, 264.11, and 265.11 list the specific notification requirements. Persons regulated under these sections must obtain an EPA Identification Number before treating, storing, transporting, offering for transp ort, or disposing of hazardous waste.

40 CFR Part 266, Subpart D includes notification requirements for generators and transporters; storers; and users of recyclable materials that are used in a manner that constitutes disposal. Specifically , sections 266.21, 266.22, and 266.23 subject generators and transporters of these materials; storers who are not the ultimate users; and users, respectively , to the notification requirement under RCRA Section 3010. In addition, these sections also subject these same generators and transporters; storers; and users to all of the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Parts 262 and 263; Parts 264 and 265, Subparts A through L; and Parts 264 and 265, respectivel y, that include the specific mechanics for implementing the notification requirements as described in sec tions 262.12, 263.11, 264.11, and 265.11. 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart F includes notification requirements for generators, transporters, and storers of recyclable materials that are utilized for precious metal recovery
. Specificall y, section 266.70(b)(1 ) subjects these facilities to the RCRA Section 3010 notification requirements. 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart G includes notification requirements for owners or operators of interim status and permitted TSDFs that store spent lead
- acid batteries (other than sp ent lead
acid batteries that are regenerated) before reclaiming them. Specificall y, section 266.80(b)(1)(i) requires interim status TSDFs that store these batteries before reclaiming them meet the notification requirements of RCRA Section 3010. In additi on, section 266.80(b)(2)(i) requires permitted TSDFs that store these batteries before reclaiming them meet the notification requirements of RCRA Section 3010. 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart H includes notification requirements for facilities that burn or proc ess hazardous waste in a boiler or industrial furnace (BIF). Subpart H also subjects generators, transporters, and storers (including processors, blenders, and distributors of hazardous waste fuel) of hazardous waste that is burned or processed in a BIF to the notification requirements of 40 CFR Parts 262, 263, and 264 and 265, respectivel y. Specificall y, sections 266.100(c)(1)(i) and 266.100(f)(1) require that owners or operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces that processes hazardous waste either solely for metals recovery

or for recovery of economicall y significant amounts of certain precious metals, respectively, to provide a written, one
- time notification of their hazardous waste activities. In addition, sections 266.101(a), 266.101(b), and 266.101(c) require that generators, transporters, and storers of hazardous waste that is burned or processed in a BIF follow specific notification requirements and procedures of sections 262.12, 263.11, and 264.11 and 265.11, respectively . Further, se ctions 266.102(a)(2)(ii) and 266.103(a)(4)(ii) subject owners or operators of permitted and interim status BIFs that burn or process hazardous waste, respectivel y, to 40 CFR Parts 264 and 265, Subpart B, which includes the section 264.11 and 265.11 notific ation requirements. Finally , section 266.108(d) requires that facilities that qualify for the small quantity

on - site burner exemption to provide a written, one
- time notification of their hazardous waste activities. 40 CFR Part 270 prescribes the timing f or notification of hazardous waste activities due to the listing of a hazardous waste in 40 CFR Part 261. Specificall y, section 270.1(b) requires that “not later than 90 days after the promulgation or revision of regulations in Part 261 (identifying and l isting hazardous wastes), generators and transporters of hazardous waste, and

## 8

owners or operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities may be required to file a notification of that activity under Section 3010.” 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart D describes certain conditions under which a transporter of universal waste may

be subject to the Section 3010 notification requirements of RCRA. Specificall y, section 273.54 makes transporters who determine that any material resulting from a rele ase of universal waste is a hazardous waste subject to 40 CFR Part 262. As a result, section 273.54 may

also make them, in certain circumstances, subject to the section 262.12 notification requirements and procedures. 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart E includes notification requirements for destination facilities of universal waste. Specifically , section 273.60(a) subjects owners or operators of destination facilities to the notification requirement under RCRA Section 3010. Section 273.60(a) also subjects destination facilities to all applicable requirements of 40 CFR Parts 264, 265, 266, 268, and 270, which include the section 264.11 and 265.11 notification requirements and procedures. **(c) Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity under 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K**  (c1) Intent to Comply with Subpart K and Recordkeeping of Agreements 40 CFR 262.203(a) provides that an eligible academic entity must notify

the appropriate EPA Regional Administrator in writing, using the RCRA Subtitle C Site I dentification Form (EPA F orm 8700
- 12), that it is electing to be subject to the requirements of Subpart K for all the laboratories owned b y the eligible academic entity under the same EPA Id entification Number. An eligible academic entity that is a conditionally

exempt small quantity

generator (CESQG) and does not have an EPA Id entification Number must notify that it is electing to be subject to the requirements of Subpart K for all the laboratories owned b y the eligible academic entity that are on - site. An eligible academic enti ty must submit a separate notification (Site ID Form) for each EPA Identification Number (or site, for CESQGs) that is electing to be subject to the requirements of Subpart K. When submitting the Site ID Form, the eligible academic entity must, at a minimum, fill out the fields on the form that are specified at section 262.203(b)(1)
- (11). Section 262.203(c) provides that an eligible academic entity must keep a copy

of the notification on file at the eligible academic entity for as long as its laboratories are subject to Subpart K. Section 262.203(d) provides that a teaching hospital that is not owned by a college or university must keep a copy

of its formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university on file at the teaching hospital fo r as long as its laboratories are subject to Subpart K. Section 262.203(e) provides that a non
-profit research institute that is not owned by a college or university

must keep a copy

of its formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university on file at the non
-profit research institute for as long as its laboratories are subject to Subpart K.

## 9

(c2) Withdrawal from 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K 40 CFR 262.204(a) provides that an eligible academic entity must notify

the appropriate EPA Regional Administrator in writing, using the RCRA Subtitle C Site I dentification Form (EPA Form 8700
- 12), that it is electing to no longer be subject to the requirements of Subpart K for all the laboratories owned b y the eligible academic entity under the same EPA Id entification Number. An eligible academic entity that is a CESQG and does not have an EPA Identification Number must notify

that it is withdrawing from the requirements of Subpart K for all the laboratories owned b y the eligible academic entity that are on - site. An eligible academic entity must submit a separate notification (Site ID Form) for each EPA Identification Number (or site, for CESQGs) that is withdrawing from the requirements of Subpart K. When submitting the Site ID Form, the eligible academic entity must, at a minimum, fill out the fields on the form that are specified at section 262.204(b)(1)
- (11). Section 262.204(c) provides that an eligible academic entity must keep a copy

of the withdrawal notice on file at the eligible academic entity for three ye ars from the date of the notification. **(d) Notification of Universal Waste Activity under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C**  Large quantity

handlers of universal waste must notify EPA of their universal waste activities and obtain an EPA Identificatio n Number. These notification requirements are codified at 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C. Specifically , section 273.32(a) requires large quantity handlers of universal waste to have notified EPA of their universal waste handling activities and received an EP A Identification Number prior to meeting or exceeding the 5,000 kilogram storage limit, unless they

already have notified EPA, as provided by section 273.32(a)(2) or 273.32(a)(3). Section 273.32(b) prescribes the contents of the notification. L arge quantity handlers of universal waste have the option of using a letter in lieu of submitting EPA Form 8700
- 12 (i.e., the Site ID Form)
. **(e) Notification of Used Oil Activity under 40 CFR Part 279**  Used oil handlers must notify EPA of their used oil management activities and obtain an EPA Identification Number. These notification requirements are codified at 40 CFR Part 279. (Refer to Table 2.) Specifically , sections 279.42, 279.51, 279.62, and 279.73 require used oil transporters and transfer facilities, use d oil processors and re
- refiners, burners of off
- specification used oil, and used oil fuel marketers, respectivel y, who have not previously complied with RCRA Section 3010 requirements (under 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart E) to comply with these requirements an d obtain an EPA Identification Number. These used oil handlers have the option of using a letter in lieu of submitting EPA Form 8700
- 12 (i.e., the Site ID Form)
.

## (3) **Part A Hazardous Waste**  **Permit Application and Modification**  **(a) Part A Permit**  **Application** 40 CFR Part 270 contains requirements for submitting and modifying a Part A Permit Application. The Part A Permit Application contains the general information required in §270.13. That information includes names and addresses of the owner and operator of the facility and the activities conducted at the facility that requires a RCRA permit. The applicant must also provide information on the location of the facility, including a map, and what hazardous wastes are being managed and the processe s involved in the waste management. Section 270.11 specifies the signature requirements for Part A Permit Applications and reports. **(b) Revised Part A Permit Applications and Associated Justifications and**  **Subp art H**  **Compliance Demonstrations** Section 270.72 identifies the ty pes of changes requiring interim status facilities or owners/operators of permitted facilities with newly regulated units to submit a revised Part A Permit Application, associated justifications, and compliance demonstrations. The change s that require a revised Part A include managing wastes not listed on the original Part A, increasing the design capacity

of the facility, and changing the processes or adding new units for treating, storing, or disposing of the waste. In all cases, the o wner must include justification for the change, and the Director must approve the changes. If the owner or operator changes, which also requires a revised Part A, both the old and new owner or operator must demonstrate that the financial responsibility

re quirements of 40 CFR part 265, subpart H will continue uninterrupted during the change. **1(c )**  **REVISIONS or**  **AMENDMENTS** The Hazardous Waste Report is being changed with this I CR amendment. There are four changes:

 Some management method codes have been consolidated in order to ease reporting. F or example, previous codes H071 (chemical reduction), H073 (cyanide destruction), H075

## 11

(chemical oxidation), H076 (wet air oxidation) and H077 (other chemical precipitation) have all been consolidated under the new management method code H070 (chemical treatment). The management method codes for this 2013 reporting year have been mapped to the management method codes used for previous ye ars in order to assist filers with the transition.

 The waste minimization codes have been revised in order to assist filers with reporting their waste minimization activities. The new waste minimization codes identify when waste minimization activities occurred (whether initiated prior to th e reporting ye ar or during the reporting ye ar) and also provide examples of ty pes of waste minimization activities.

 Editorial changes were made to the description of some source codes in order to improve clarity for filers. For example, G25 was changed from “hazardous waste management” to “treatment, disposal, or recycling of hazardous waste” in order to better communicate the meaning of this code.

 In completing the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report, sites should use the new 2012 NAICS codes established by

the U.S. Census Bureau. S ignificant changes were made to the NAI CS codes in 2012. **2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION**  **2(a) NEED AND AUTHORITY FOR THE COLLECTION**  **( 1**  **) Hazardous Waste Report**  RCRA Sections 3002 and 3004 authorize the Hazardous Waste Repo rt. Both sections require EPA to establish standards for recordkeeping and reporting of hazardous waste. Section 3002 applies to hazardous waste generators and Section 3004 applies to hazardous waste TSDFs. The implementing regulations are found at 40 C FR parts 262.40(b) and (d); 262.41(a)(1)
- (5), (a)(8), and (b); 264.75(a)
- (e) and (j); 265.75(a)
- (e) and (j); and 270.30(l)(9). This is mandatory reporting b y the respondents. Section 3002(a)(6) requires submission of reports to EPA or the States at least every two ye ars on the: (1) quantities and nature of hazardous wastes that have been generated during the ye ar and (2) disposition of these hazardous wastes. Section 3004(a) requires EPA to issue regulations establishing performance standards applicable to owners and operators of facilities for the treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste that include reporting and maintaining records of all hazardous wastes treated, stored, or disposed and the manner in which such wastes were treated, stored, or disposed. There are a number of uses of the Hazardous Waste Report data. EPA uses these data for planning and developing regulations. In addition, Hazardous Waste Report data allows the Agency to determine whether its regulations are having the desired effect on the generation and

## 12

management of hazardous waste. For example, Hazardous Waste Report data provides information on whether wastes have shifted from one method of disposal to another. Some State uses of Hazardous Waste Report data include: support of planning, fee assessment, compliance monitoring, and enforcement. **(2 )**  **Notification of Regulated Waste Activity** Section 3010 of Subtitle C of RCRA, as amended, requires any person who generates, transports, or recycles regulated wastes or who owns or operates a facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal of regulated wastes to notify EPA of their activities, including the location and general description of the activities and the regulated wastes handled. As required b y statute, EPA promulgated regulations to implement these notification requirements at 40 CFR Parts 262, 263, 264, 265, 266, 270, 273, and 279. (See Section 1(b) above for a detailed listing of notification requirements by type of regulated waste and regulated entity). EPA needs this information to determine the universe of persons who generate, handle, and manage these regulated wastes; assign EPA Identification Numbers; and ensure that these regulated wastes are managed in a way

that protects human health and the environm ent, as required by RCRA, as amended. **(3) Part A**  **Hazardous Waste Permit Application**  **and Modification** EPA promulgated regulations at 40 CFR 270.1 requiring owners or operators of TSDFs to submit a Part A Permit Application. EPA needs information contained in the Part A Permit Application to identify

the person(s) legall y responsible for hazardous waste ac tivity , to determine which facilities require permits under more than one program, to assess potential for the facility

to pollute nearby

ground and surface waters, to identify the time frame available for EPA to process permit applications, and to define the specific wastes a facility is legall y allowed to handle for different purposes. EPA promulgated regulations at 40 CFR 270.72 outlining changes that require owners or operators to submit revised Part A Permit Applications. Section 270.72(a)(1)
- (3) requires owner/operators to submit both a revised Part A Permit Application and a written justification for changes in the design capacity of processes used at the facility , and/or changes or additions in a facility's hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal processes. Under Section 270.72(a)(4), if an owner or operator changes ownership, or operational control of a facility , the new owner or operator is required to submit a revised Part A Permit Application, and a Subpart H compliance demonstration. EPA needs revised permit applications, justifications, and compliance demonstrations to determine whether desired changes are acceptable or should be more closel y reviewed as part of a full permit issuance process. **2(b) PRACTICAL UTILITY AND USERS OF**  **THE DATA (**  **1 )**  **Hazardous Waste Report** Implementation of the RCRA program requires the collection of information on the characteristics of the regulated community generally (e.g., number of generators and TSDFs), as

## 13

well as the specific characteristics of individual sites (e.g., waste handling activities undertaken). This information is used for waste activity monitoring, compliance monitoring, technical assistance, program planning, waste minimization, and other pro gram activities taken by EPA and the States. The information is also used by public interest groups (such as the Right
- to Know Network) and industry
. The Hazardous Waste Report also provides information to States for tracking shipments of waste. Many States do not collect or track manifests, which provide, information on off
- site shipments of hazardous waste; therefore, the Hazardous Waste Report serves as the onl y source of this information. EPA compiles and publishes the National Biennial RCRA Haza rdous W aste Report based on the data for each odd number reporting ye ar. The reports for 1991 to 2009 are available on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/waste/inforesources/data/biennialreport/index.htm
. EPA and the States have many uses for Hazardous Waste Report information, including:

## Describing the various source activities that generate hazardous waste and the generated waste typ es and quantities.

 

## Describing the management methods by which the waste is treated, disposed, or recycled and the quantities managed by each method.

 

## Providing information for anal ys is of trends in waste generation, waste treatment and disposal, recycling, and source reduction.

 

## Understanding how much waste a State receives from out of State or sends out of State.

 

## Estimating available capacity for treating, recycling, and disposing hazardous wastes. Additionally , EPA utilizes the Hazardous Waste Report information for planning and develop ing regulations; regulation development depends on descriptions and quantities of generated hazardous waste and management methods used for treatment, recycling, and disposal. The information allows the Agency to determine whether regulations are having the desired effect on the generation and management of hazardous waste; for example, the report provides information on whether the treatment of wastes has shifted from one method to another. EPA also uses the information for conducting technical assistanc e, planning facility inspections, and carrying out regulatory

enforcement. States use the information for many of the same purposes as EPA; other State uses include planning, setting waste minimization goals, assessing fees, monitoring compliance, and carrying out enforcement. EPA and States receive requests for the information from many public and private organizations including government agencies, businesses, public interest groups, and interested citizens. Many

requests come from businesses that supp ly chemicals, equipment, and services to

## 14

hazardous waste generators and TSDFs. **(2) Notification of Regulated Waste Activity**  EPA enters notification information submitted by respondents into an EPA national data sy stem and assigns EPA Identification Numbers. EPA uses the information primarily for tracking purposes, and secondaril y for a variety of enforcement and inspection purposes. In addition, EPA uses this information to identify the universe of regulated waste generators, handlers, and managers and their specific regulated waste activities. Finally , EPA uses this information to ensure that regulated waste is managed properl y, that statutory provisions are upheld, and that regulations are adhered to b y facility owners or operators. **(3) Part A**  **Hazar dous Waste**  **Permit Application and Modification**  EPA uses information in the Part A Permit Application to define which processes can be used and which wastes can be handled at newl y regulated facilities subject to permitting requirements for the first time and permitted facilities with newly regulated units. This includes defining allowable changes in facility operations and applies to new facilities not yet constructed; newl y regulated facilities subject to RCRA permitting requirements for the first time; permitted facilities with newly regulated units; and interim status facilities. EPA uses information in the Part A Permit Application to:

 

## Set priorities for processing permit applications;

 

## Respond to requests from hazardous waste generators for the name s and locations of facilities where they

can send their waste for storage, treatment, or disposal;

 

## Respond to public and Congressional inquiries regarding particular hazardous waste management facilities; and

 

## Ensure that facilities are not operating in a manner unprotective of human health and the environment. EPA uses information from revised Part A Permit Applications and associated justifications and Subpart H compliance d emonstrations to determine whether desired changes are acceptable under interim status or whether the change should be more closely reviewed as part of a full permit issuance process. In addition, modifying the Part A Permit Application allows inspectors to have up
- to - date information on major aspects of the facility , including the size of the operation, the hazardous wastes handled, and the ty pes of processes used. Without this documentation, EPA would be unable to determine the owner or operator's compliance with the management standards of 40 CFR Parts 264 or 265 or the rules gov erning changes during interim status. This documentation is also useful for both EPA and the owner or operator in an enforcement action.

**3. NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION**  **CRITERIA 3(a)**  **NONDUPLICATION** The info rmation collected under this I CR is not available from any source other than respondents. EPA’s ORCR is the only office within the Agency requiring the recordkeeping or reporting of this information. No other Federal agency or department collects this in formation. The RCRA site identification information is collected on one common form
― the Site ID Form ― for the Hazardous Waste Report, the Notification of Regulated Waste Activity , and the RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application. A respondent may submit a copy of a previously

reported Site ID Form and note any changes; this verifies and updates the site identification information. **3(b) PUBLIC NOTICE**  In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, EPA issued a public notice in the Federal Register on May 24, 2012 (7 7 FR 31005 ). The notice indicated that EPA was planning to submit a request to amend the “2011 Hazardous Waste Report, Notification of Regulated Waste Activity, and Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification” ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.15; OMB Control Number 2050
- 0024) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to make the Hazardous Waste Report In structions and Forms for the next reporting cycle, the 2013 cycle, available at the beginning of the data col lection year and thus, facilitate implementation of any changes to the Hazardous Waste Report forms
. This change wa s in response to many requests by

States. The notice also requested comments on the proposed changes to the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report Ins tructions and Forms , which include: (1) consolidation of some management method codes in order to ease reporting, (2) revision of the waste minimization codes in order to assist filers with reporting their waste minimization activities, and (3) incorporation of editorial changes to the description of some source codes in order to improve clarity for filers. The public comment period extended through July

23, 2012
. The above changes on the management method codes and waste minimization codes were proposed in the Draft 2011 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms made available for public comment in March 2011 (76 FR 17414; March 29, 2011). However, in consultation with States and EPA Regions, EPA decided to delay these proposed changes until the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report in order to provide adequate time for further study and implementation. The decision to delay

implementation of these changes was stated in the ICR supporting statement for the 2011 Hazardous Waste Report ( EPA I CR Number 0976.15)
. The following paragraphs summarize the public comments received in response to the two Federal Register notices associated with this ICR (i.e., the March 2011 an d May 2012 Federal Register notices), as they pertain to the proposed changes to the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report In structions and Forms
.

## 16

**(1) March 2011**  **Federal Register Notice**  EPA received four written comments in response to the March 2011 Federal Register notice. These comments were submitted b y the following organizations:

1. Id aho Department of Environmental Quality ; 2. Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ; 3. Ohio Environmental Protection Agency ; and 4. Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
. No comment s were received on the proposed consolidation of the management method codes. However, three of the above organizations (Illinois, Ohio, and Texas) submitted comments on the proposed enhancement of the waste minimization codes
. **(a) Enhancement of Waste**  **Minimization Code List Summary of Comments:**  Three commenters raised questions and concerns on various issues associated with the enhancement of the waste minimization code list. A summary of their comments, by

issue, is presented below: Use of the waste minimization data Two commenters indicated that EPA does not give a clear description of the proposed use of the waste minimization data and that, without a planned use, the additional reporting burden is not justifiable. One of these commenters al so indicated that it appears that the current waste minimization code list satisfies the regulatory requirement and that an expanded code list would not improve compliance. One commenter indicated that they have completed anal ys es using Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) source reduction activity codes data that are similar to the waste minimization codes being proposed. Based on these anal ys es, the commenter feels that the limited scope of the 2009 waste minimization codes provides an inaccurate description of the overall waste reduction effort completed by a generator since most waste reduction efforts include a combination of activities that often change within the course of the reporting period. The commenter further states that the proposed reporting sy stem fails to account for the complexity and process
- specific nature of most hazardous waste generation processes. Data on new and on
- going waste minimization efforts One commenter indicated that the emphasis should be on recognizing newly implemented or expanded projects, as opposed to reporting continuing projects that have permanentl y changed a production process or operating practice and result in no further waste minimization beyond the initial implementation. This commenter recommended changing the language in the Hazardous Waste Report instructions to make it clear that data on new efforts is being sought. The commenter also suggested that, if information

## 17

will be collected on both new and on
- going waste minimization efforts, the reporting sy stem n eeds to be revised in order to distinguish between new and on
- going efforts for a given reporting ye ar or over numerous reporting years. This would require a new data field, which means that companies that translate their data into the reporting software are going to have to alter their software. The commenter believes it is necessary to weigh the burden versus benefit. Another commenter recommended that, in order to make the data useful, EPA should define a new baseline and require all ongoing and new projects to be reported for that ye ar. In subsequent years, EPA should only collect new waste minimization projects. The commenter also recommended that all ongoing and new waste minimization activities be reported and that a waste minimization code be added which is descriptive of successful ongoing activity and the addition of new activities. The third commenter indicated that, since all hazardous waste generators are required to have a waste minimization “program in place,” requiring the reporting of ongoing waste minimization efforts is somewhat redundant. Requiring the reporting of new waste minimization efforts might be useful in demonstrating an increase or decrease in the amount of waste minimization occurring. However, these data would provide little information beyond what could be obtained from measuring the total amount of hazardous waste generated and dividing this by the number of generators. Therefore, the need for reporting of whether the waste minimization activity is new or ongoing is of limited use and should be discontinued. Definition of “source reduction” and “waste minimization” One commenter indicated that EPA should clarify the terms “source reduction” and “waste minimization.” The proposed definitions may lead to confusion as they do not define the difference between source reduction (pollution prevention) and waste minimization. The commenter also recommended excluding waste minimization codes A, B, C, D, F, G, and H to minimize the confusion of “source reduction” and “wa ste minimization” and to ensure that the codes used are reflective of data being collected on Form GM (i.e., waste generated). Use of waste minimization data in trends analyses One commenter indicated that, if the waste minimization codes are going to be used for trend anal ys is as suggested in the background paper, EPA should provide at least one example of trend anal ys is that has been done already for other information on the reports (e.g., source codes, form codes). **EPA’s Response:** Based on review o f comments received on the list of waste minimization codes proposed in March 2011 (i.e., the waste minimization codes in the Draft 2011 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms ) and anal ys is of the 2009 waste minimization data , EPA has revised the proposed set of waste minimization codes
. The new waste minimization codes identify whether waste minimization efforts were undertaken and

## 18

when waste minimization efforts occurred (whether initiated prior to the reporting year o r during the reporting ye ar)
. In addition, the new waste minimization codes include examples of ty pes of waste minimization activities. EPA anticipates that , through the use of the revised waste minimization codes , the Agency will be able to collect basic waste minimization information that meet s the statutory

requirements under RCRA Section 1003(b) and the regulatory requirements at 40 CFR 261.41(a) and 262.27. The proposed waste minimization codes also meet basic targeting anal ys is needs, and can be used as a starting point for further studies and project planning on waste minimization and pollution prevention to be performed by EPA’s or States’ individual programs. For additional information on the need for and the use of the waste minimization data, as well as on the development of the revised list of waste minimization codes included in the Draft 2013 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms , refer to “2013 Hazardous Waste Report, Amendment to Information Collection Request: Justification for Proposed Changes” (dated March 27, 2012). This supporting document has been included in the docket for this I CR. **(2) May 2012**  **Federal Register Notice**  EPA received four written comments in response to the May 2012 Federal Register notice. These comments were submitted b y the following organizations:

1. Id aho Department of Environmental Quality ; 2. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ; 3. North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources ; and 4. Ohio Environm ental Protection Agency
. The following paragraphs summarize the comments submitted by the above organizations, as they

pertain to the proposed changes to the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms. **(a) Editorial C**  **hanges to the**  **2013 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and**  **Forms Summary of Comments:**  Three commenters provided suggestions pertaining to editorial changes to the Draft 2013 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms included in the docket for this ICR
. These suggestions include:

 In the table of contents, eliminating several references to the “ 2011 Hazardous Waste Report” should be changed to the “2013 Hazardous Waste Report.”

 In the “What’s New” section, including an item regarding the new North American Industry Clas sification System (NAICS) codes . S ignificant changes were made to the NAI CS codes in 2012 and a facility cannot assume that an earlier code is still accurate .

## 19

 In the “Who Must File the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report” section, including an additional note to the box with the definition of a RCRA LQG that indicates that g enerators must count the quantity of all hazardous wastes generated per month based on the regulations at 40 CFR 261.5(c) and (d). Without this note, the definition box over simplifies the definition of L QG.

 In the “Purpose of this Form” section of the instructions for filling out the Site ID Form, changing the statement the Site ID Form “is used to obtain an EPA Id entification Number” to “is used to obtain an EPA RCRA Identi fication Number
. ” Utilizing the Site ID Form alone will not be adequate to comply with the ID number requirements of another EPA Program (e.g., EPA’s Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Program).

 In the “How to Fill Out this Form” section of the instructions for filling out the Site ID Form, changing the term “blank ink” to “black ink.”

 In the “Item 10

– Ty

pe o f Regulated Waste Activity” section of the instructions for filling out the Site ID Form, correcting the typo in the phrase “at you site” to “at your site” for underground injection control.

 In the “Item
- by
- Item Instructions” section of the instructions for filling out the GM Form, incorporating the revised description of Source Code G25 (i.e., t reatment, disposal, or recycling of hazardous wastes )
.
 In the “Wastes Not to be Reported” section of the instructions for filling out the GM Form, including precious metal generators regulated under 40 CFR Part 266 , Subpart F
.
 In cluding the forms in the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms booklet before making the document available for public use. **EPA’s Response:** EPA thanks the commenters for their suggestions and feedback. EPA agrees with the e ditorial changes suggested by the commenters and incorporated these changes into the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms in order to improve clarity for filers. **(b) Submission of the Hazardous Waste Report by LQGs**  **Summary of Comment :**  One c ommenter indicated that the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms make the following statement, which the commenter believes to be inaccurate: “A site is a RCRA L arge Quantity Generator (LQG) for 2013 if the site met any of the following crit eria: a. The site generated, in any single calendar month...” The commenter further indicated that EPA has provided guidance that a generator can go higher and lower in generator category

from one month to another without automatically being regulated for the entire year at the site’s highest generator category.

## 20

**EPA’s Response:** The definition of a RCRA L QG presented in the “Who Must File the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report” section of the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms is based on the definition of L QG in the hazardous waste regulations ( i.e., 40 CFR Part 262 and 40 CFR 261.5(e) ). In determining their generator status category , g enerators must calculate the quantity

of hazardous waste generated per month based on the regulations at 40 CFR 261.5(c) and (d). For those months in which a generator met the definition of a L QG, the generator must include hazardous waste information in its Hazardous Waste Report. **(c) Site ID Form Instructions**  **Summary of Comment :**  One commenter indicated that including instructions for initial notification as part of the Site ID Form i s very confusing, gi ven that facilities fil ing the Hazardous Waste Report already have an EPA ID number. **EPA’s Response:** The Site ID Form is used to meet several regulatory requirements (e.g., Hazardous Waste Report, initial/subsequent notification of regulated waste activity, and first/revised Part A Permit Application)
. All information collection tools that include the Site ID Form contain the same instructions and form in order to ensure consistency. “Item 1

– Reason for Submittal” in the “Item - by
- It em Instructions” requires that the facility filling out the form specifies the reason for the submittal. This information helps minimize confusion for the facility submitting the form and the implementing agency (i.e., State or EPA Region) receiving the form
. **(d) NAICS Code Format in Site ID Form**  **Summary of Comment :**  One commenter stated that the instructions for filling out the Site ID Form require the NAI CS code to be 5 digits or more, and asked whether this format is still accurate with the new 2012 NAICS codes. The commenter also stated that allowing fewer digits in a NAICS code will require revising their computer s ys tem for Hazardous Waste Report data. **EPA’s Response:** The instructions for filling out the Site ID Form indicate that the NAI CS code must be 5 digits or more. This is still accurate with the new 2012 NAI CS codes. Therefore, the commenter will not have to change its computer sy stem for the NAICS code dat a co llected as part of the Hazardous Waste Report. **(e) I**  **mpact of the**  **Definition of Solid Waste Final Rule on Site ID Form Summary of Comment** **:** One commenter indicated that the Definition of Solid Waste (DSW)/Hazardous Secondary Material (HSM) requirements sec tion of the Site ID Form is based on the 2008 version of the DSW rule
. B ecause a final 2011 version is due out by EPA by the end of 2012, the commenter asked if the final version of the rule will be effective soon enough in 2013 to create any impact or ch anges to the DSW/H SW portion of the Site ID Form. The commenter also asked what those changes might be and whether EPA is prepared to make such changes mid
- stream.

## 21

**EPA’s Response:** The re visions to the DSW Final Rule are scheduled to be signed in December 2012 and published in January 2013. After the rule is published , EPA will begin the process of modifying the Site ID Form and Addendum to incorporate ch anges from the DSW Final Rule; h owever, these changes likel y will not be finalized until some months after publication in the Federal Register . E PA may develop interim procedures, if necessary , to enable reporting while the Site ID Form and Addendum are being updated to reflect the final rule. **(f) Instructions in Site ID Form Regarding**  **Post -**  **Closure Faciliti es**  **Summary of Comment :**  One commenter indicated that instructing all facilities that are involved in on
- going post
- closure activities that they are not a “ disposal facility” is incorrect
. The commenter further indicated that facilities conducting post
- closure (care) are disposal facilities and the instructions for filling out the Site ID Form should be revised to remove the exception of post
- closure facilities from being identified as tre ater, storer, or disposer of hazardous waste. **EPA’s Response:** The Site ID Form is intended to capture facilities that are operating , not undergoing post
- closure only
. A facility undergoing post
- closure onl y is not treating, storing, or disposing hazardous waste and thus, is not considered a treater, storer, or disposer
. **3(c) CONSULTATIONS**  Most of the data and assumptions in this I CR are based on EPA consultations with industry and States, or data from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information (RCRAInfo) sy stem4 

## . In developing this current ICR, EPA carefull y reviewed all of the ICR’s data and assumptions and determined that a few should be strengthened base d on additional consultations. Specifically , EPA conducted consultations on the I CR’s assumptions regarding the Hazardous Waste Report
. In conducting the consultations, EPA contacted the three State organizations identified in Table 3

### RCRAInfo is a national database used by EPA to track entities regulated under Subtitle C of RCRA (i.e., hazardous waste handlers). RCRAInfo includes data on general handler information, waste generation and management, permit or closure status, compliance with Federal and State regulations, and cleanup activities.

## 22

The following paragraphs summarize the feedback obtained on the burden associated with various Hazardous Waste Report activities.

 

## Reading the instructions. EPA was informed that, generall y, the IC R’s original burden for reading the Hazardous Waste Report instructions (i.e., 2 hours per facility) was a realistic industry average . However, some revisions to this burden estimate were provided. Suggested burd ens ranged from 1.25 hours to 5 hours. Based on the consultation information , the average burden for reading the Hazardous Waste Report instructions was estimated to be 2.76 hour s per facility
.

 

## Gathering information and preparing Form GM manually. EPA was informed that, generall y, the IC R’s original burden for gathering information and preparing a Form GM manually

(i.e., 62 minutes per form) was not a realistic industry average. Suggested burdens ranged from 75 minutes to 90 minutes. Based on the con sultation information, the average burden for gathering data (e.g., review manifests and/or other compiled data) and completing Form GM b y hand, by ty pewriter, or b y key

entering the data using a computer was estimated to be 72 minutes per form.

 

## Gathering information and preparing Form GM by automated method. EPA was informed that, generally , the ICR’s original burden for gathering information and preparing a Form GM by automated method (i.e., 10 minutes per form) was a realistic industry

average . However, some revisions to this burden estimate were provided. Suggested burdens ranged from less than 1 minute to 15 minutes. Based on the consultation information, the average burden for completing Form GM using an in
- house, commercial, or State
-pro vided data s ys tem (e.g., computer software) was estimated to be 17 minutes per form.

 

## Gathering information and preparing Form WR manually. EPA was informed that the I CR’s original burden for gathering information and preparing a Form WR manually

(i.e., 48 minutes per form) was not a realistic industry average. Suggested burdens ranged from 15 minutes to 75 minutes. Based on the consultation information, the average burden for gathering data (e.g., review manifests and/or other compiled data) and completing Form WR by hand, by ty pewriter, or b y key

entering the data using a computer was estimated to be 54 minutes per form.

 

## Gathering information and preparing Form WR by automated method. EPA was informed that, generally , the ICR’s original burden for gathering information and preparing a Form WR by automated method (i.e., 10 minutes per form) was a realistic industry

average. However, some revisions to this burden estimate were provided. Suggested burdens ranged from less than 1 minute to 20 minutes. Based on the consultation information, the average burden for completing Form

## 23 WR using an in
- house, commercial, or State
-provided data s ys tem (e.g., computer software) was estimated to be 19 minutes per form.

 

## Revisions to in **- house or commercial data sys**  **tem.** EPA was informed that the ICR’s original burden for revising in
- house or commercial data s ys tems to include new Hazardous Waste Report data items that are not part of a facility ’s general business operations (i.e., 1 hour per facility) was a realisti c industry average. Based on the consultation information, the average burden for revising in
- house or commercial data s ys tems for purposes of the Hazardous Waste Report was estimated to be 1 hour per facility.

 

## Submitting report to EPA or State. EPA was informed that, generall y, the I CR’s original burden for submitting the Hazardous Waste Report to EPA or the State (i.e., 5 minutes per facility) was not a realistic industry average. Suggested hourly burdens ranged from 10 minutes to 2 hours. B ased on the consultation information, the average hourly burden for submitting the Hazardous Waste Report was estimated to be 1.34 hours per facility. The above feedback is reflected in the burden assumptions of this I CR, as appropriate. Detailed infor

mation on EPA’s assumptions regarding these and other activities are full y discussed in Section 6 of this document. **3(d) EFFECTS OF LESS FREQUENT COLLECTION**  EPA has carefull y considered the information collection burden imposed by the information colle ction requirements covered in this I CR. EPA is confident that those activities required of respondents are necessary , and to the extent possible, the Agency has attempted to minimize the burden imposed. A number of the required activities, for example, will be performed once (e.g., one
- time notifications). EPA believes strongl y that, if the minimum information collection requirements are not met, EPA will not be able to ensure that hazardous waste and hazardous secondary material is being properl y manage d and do not pose a threat to human health and the environment. **(1) Hazardous Waste Report**  For the Hazardous Waste Report, the two
- year c yc le is statutorily required. Although some States collect information on an annual or quarterl y basis, EPA does not require more frequent data collection. **(2 )**  **Notification of Regulated Waste Activity** New hazardous waste generators, transporters, or TSDFs must submit EPA Form 8700
- 12 (i.e., the Site ID Form) and obtain an EPA Identification Number prior to treating (in cluding recycling), storing, transporting, offering for transport, or disposing of hazardous waste. Existing hazardous waste generators, transporters, or TSDFs are required to notify the Agency of their hazardous waste activity(ies) not later than 90 days after the promulgation or

## 24

revision of regulations in 40 CFR Part 261 (identification and listing of hazardous wastes). Owners or operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces that process hazardous waste either solel y for metals recovery or for r ecovery of economicall y significant amounts of certain precious metals under sections 266.100(c)(1)(i) and 266.100(f)(1), respectively , and facilities that qualify

for the small quantity

on - site burner exemption under section 266.108(d) must provide a written, one - time notification of their hazardous waste activities. Under Section 273.32(a), large quantity handlers of universal waste must submit a written, one
- time notification of universal waste management to the Regional Administrator and obtain an EPA Id entification Number before meeting or exceeding the 5,000 kilogram storage limit, unless they already have notified EPA, as provided by section 273.32(a)(2) or 273.32(a)(3). Under sections 279.42, 279.51, 279.62 and 279.73, used oil handlers who have no t previousl y complied with the notification requirement (under 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart E) must submit a written, one
- time notification of used oil management activities and obtain an EPA Identification Number. Any reduction in the frequency of this infor mation collection would prevent the Agency from meeting the statutory

requirements of RCRA Section 3010. **(3) Part A**  **Hazardous Waste Permit Application**  **and Modification** A respondent's provision of information on a Part A Permit Application is essentially a on e - time exercise that must occur when a facility is new or if an existing facility becomes subject to new permitting requirements. Subsequent revisions to the Part A Permit Application are necessary onl y if an interim status facility changes its ownership and/or process or management of wastes. EPA strongl y believes that if the minimum requirements specified under the regulations are not met, neither the facilities nor EPA can ensure that hazardous wastes are being properl y managed, and do not pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. **3(e) GENERAL GUIDELINES**  This I CR adheres to the guidelines stated in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, OMB’s implementing regulations, applicable OMB guidance, and EPA’s ICR Handbook. In addition, thi s information collection complies with EPA’s Data Standards and Information Quality Guidelines. **3(f) CONFIDENTIALITY**  **(1) Hazardous Waste Report**  The Hazardous Waste Report requires businesses to provide information on various aspects of hazardous waste generation and management. Some businesses consider some of their hazardous waste information to be Confidential Business Information (CBI). A busines s may , if it desires, protect its Hazardous Waste Report information from public disclosure b y asserting a claim of confidentiality covering all or part of its information. If a confidentiality claim were asserted, EPA will treat the information in accord ance with the confidentiality regulations at 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. EPA also will ensure that the information collection procedures comply with the Privacy

Act of 1974 and the OMB Circular 108.

## 25

**(2 )**  **Notification of Regulated Waste Activity** The Agency

does not anticipate that businesses will assert a claim of confidentiality covering all or part of the information submitted as part of their notifications. However, i f a confidentiality

claim were asserted, EPA will treat the information in ac cordance with the confidentiality

regulations at 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. EPA also will ensure that the information collection procedures comply with the Privacy

A ct of 1974 and the OMB Circular 108. **(3) Part A**  **Hazardous Waste Permit Application**  **and Modific ation**  All information submitted in a Part A Permit Application or revision will be subject to public disclosure, without notice to the facility , in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. Section 552, and EPA Freedom of Information Regulations, 40 CFR Part 2. Because of the general nature of the information requested, onl y a few Part A Permit Applications to date have qualified for exemption to disclosure under the business confidentiality exception. Claims of confidentiality must be cle arly

indicated on the forms and attachments, and must be accompanied, at the time of filing, b y a written substantiation of the claim in accordance with 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B (particularly the information described at 40 CFR 2.204(e) )
. In formation that is determined to be confidential is placed in a secured "confidential file" for future use. Onl y persons with special clearance for confidential information have access to these files. **3(g) SENSITIVE QUESTIONS**  No questions of a sensitive nature are in cluded in any of the information collection requirements covered in this I CR.

fees based on the nature and extent of regulated activity i dentified in the report. EPA makes all reported data (except any that may be claimed as CBI) available to the public on the Internet. This provides further incentive for sites (and also for States and EPA) to ensure the information is complete and accurate because the public regularl y accesses this information. (i) Data Items :

 

## RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form. The Site ID Form must be submitted by

all sites required to file the Hazardous Waste Report. This form collects information such as site name, EPA Identification Number, address, contact, and typ e of hazardous waste generation and management activities taking place at the site; it verifies their information, especially the site’s generator status as the date of submission of the report . It requires a certification signature for the submission of the report.

 

## Form GM **- Waste Generation and Management** **.** Form GM must be submitted by

all respondents that generated or shipped large quantity generator amounts of RCRA hazardous waste during the reporting year. This form collects information on each generated waste, including a narrative waste description, a waste characterization (waste codes, source, and form), quantity

generated, and the method of waste management (whether managed on
- site o r shipped off
- site).

 

## Form WR **- Waste Received From Off**  **- Site**  **.** Form WR must be submitted by all sites that received RCRA hazardous waste from off
- site during the reporting year. This form collects information on each waste received from off
- site, includin g a narrative description of the waste, a brief waste characterization (e.g., waste codes), the EPA Identification Number of the off
- site generator, the quantity of waste received, and the method of waste management.

 

## Form OI **- Off** 

**- Site Identification** 
. Form OI is not required b y EPA; rather, it is provided as an option for States to collect the names and addresses of transporters, generators that ship waste, and receivers of waste reported on Forms GM and WR where onl y the EPA Identification Number is listed.

**5. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED: AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION**  **METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT 5(a)**  **AGENCY ACTIVITIES (**  **1 )**  **Hazardous Waste Report** As discussed in Section 4(b) of this document, the Hazardous Waste Report data collection process is delegated to the States. However, EPA is involved throughout this process. The extent of EPA’s involvement depends on the activities performed b y the States in the data collection process. The following paragraphs briefly describe EPA’s participation in the data collection process. In s ome cases, the EPA Region performs all of the State roles. That is, EPA Regions , where the Region implements the RCRA hazardous waste program for a State, provide respondents with the Federal form, collect the responses, contact non
- respondents, enter the data into a database using off

- the
- shelf software packages which have been developed to support the collection of Hazardous Waste Report data, assure data quality, and forward the data to EPA Headquarters
. In other cases , the EPA Region provides direct p rocessing support for some, but not all, of the collection activities. For example, the EPA Region may support the State in data gathering and data quality assessment. In still other cases, the EPA Regions provide additional resources to the States. F or example, the EPA Region may provide technical support to States for the transfer of their files to EPA for incorporation into the national database. EPA Headquarters produces and distributes the Federal forms and related guidance, defines the data and file format for data, establishes the schedule for submitting data, manages the incorporation of State data into the national database, coordinates national data quality review, maintains the national database, and prepares a national report listing m ajor facts about the national picture of hazardous waste generation and management for the reporting year. EPA activities for the Hazardous Waste Report include the following:

 

## Develop Hazardous Waste Report forms and instructions. Print paper and CD cop ies.

 

## Distribute Hazardous Waste Report forms and instructions. EPA Headquarters distributes the form and instruction booklets to the States and Regions. Regions prepare mailing lists, mail forms and instructions, record receipt of completed forms, and c ontact sites that fail to respond within the specified time period.

## 42  

## Develop computer capabilities required to compile national data. EPA Headquarters develops the computer capabilities required to load data into the national database, the reports which support data quality assessment and other programmatic use of the data, and preparation of the national report.

 

## Assist respondents. EPA Regions and Headquarters provide assistance to respondents. States are, however, the first point of contact for answering respondent questions and assistance , where applicable
.

 

## Key entry of **report submissions.** EPA Regions and the regulated entities, key enter or electronically

load the data into a database they select and maintain. The data entry function was privatized for the 1999 Hazardous Waste Report process. Many States, Regions, and the regulated community use one of the private vendor’s sof

tware packages for data entry and recordkeeping. Some reports are entered directl y on State or vendor hosted Internet sites and some are submitted on diskettes.

 

## Perform quality assurance. EPA Regio ns and Headquarters perform data quality assurance. Thi s includes: follow
- up to non - respondents, detection and correction of unacceptable responses (e.g., in cases where the respondent misunderstood the instructions); verification of exceptional responses (e.g., data reported b y a respondent that differ signi ficantly from data reported by

the rest of the respondent universe) and identification of significant response changes between reporting years. The national software supports these activities with a variety of data editing functions. Once reports are received, the QA/QC procedures include a hierarchy of assessments. First, s ys tem procedures ensure the data has fundamental internal consistency

(e.g., required data fields are populated and the values are of the correct data type and within allowed range s). Second, the information content of the data for individual sites is evaluated to identify any potential over or under reporting (exception reports support identification of extremes and significant variance from one cycle to another). Third, assessment reports support evaluation of intra
- State and inter
- State shipments of wastes to identify potential discrepancies between reports submitted by generators and the TSDF’s who were identified by the generator as receivers of the waste. Based on the assessments, EPA Regions identify cases where accuracy may be questionable. For those cases, they generally contact the site to review the information received; and site respondent confirms that the data are correct or that the site intends to submit an amended report to correct discrepancies.

## 43  

## Prepare the national report. EPA Headquarters will prepare The National Biennial RCRA Hazardous W aste Report that will be made available to the Congress and the public.

 

## Store the data. The Hazardous Waste Reports will be stored by the EPA Regions for three ye ars and an electronic database may be maintained by

each Region. The national database is maintained by EPA Headquarters in RCRAInfo. **(2 )**  **Notification of Regulated Waste Activity** EPA activities are the same for all of the notification requirements covered in this I CR. These activities include:

**5(b) COLLECTION METHODOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT**  In collecting and anal yz ing the information associated with this I CR, EPA and authorized States may

use a telephone system, personal computers, and applicable database software. They will ensure the accuracy and completeness of collected information by reviewing the submittals. They will keep records of this information in file cabinets and/or computer systems. **5(c) SMALL ENTITY FLEXIBILITY**  **(1 )**  **Hazardous Waste Report** EPA uses the quantity

of waste generate d per month to determine the extent to which a firm should be regulated. EPA categorizes generators of less than 1,000 kilograms of non
- acute hazardous waste per month as small quantity generators (SQGs) and relieves them of specific requirements. SQGs are not required to file the Hazardous Waste Report. A SQG who is sent the Hazardous Waste Report booklet due to a change in generator status or error need not respond. They must return a completed RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form to update their generator status to ensure they are not subject to follow
- up contact for biennial reporting. **(2 )**  **Notification of Regulated Waste Activity** Some respondents will be individuals or small organizations. However, EPA believes that the information to be colle cted is the minimum amount necessary to fulfill the statutory requirements of RCRA. **(3) Part A**  **Hazardous Waste Permit Application**  **and Modification** Interim status is statutorily conferred without regard to facility size. Therefore, EPA believes that requirements regarding Part A submissions and revisions must apply equall y to large and small businesses. Although the legal requirements for Part A Permit Application information are the same for large and small businesses, the Agency believes that in practice the small entities will find it easier to provide the required information. In many instances, a small organization will be able to complete or revise the Part A Permit Application in less time than larger organizations because they use fewer processes for the management of hazardous wastes and they manage fewer ty

pes of wastes. As a rule of thumb, the complexity of preparing a Part A Permit Appli cation depends upon the complexity of the processes of a hazardous waste facility and the wastes managed at the facility. Therefore, if a small organization operates a complex facility (e.g., a chemical landfill that manages a very large number of waste s treams), then the time to complete the Part A Permit Application will necessaril y be greater. Again, EPA has taken steps to minimize the burden on all respondents by providing detailed instructions for completion of the Part A Permit Application form and by requiring short answer responses to most of the items of the application.

## 45

It also should be noted that the reporting requirements for changes are brief. Therefore, owners or operators can easily comply with these requirements. In addition, most of the revisions to Part A Permit Applications will entail merel y checking boxes or filling in numbers to indicate the ty

pe of new activity

or new waste to be handled at the facility . Any written justification entails a short letter from the owner or operato r. EPA, therefore, estimates that the potential burden on small businesses caused b y this information collection is minimal. **5(d) COLLECTION SCHEDULE**  **(1 )**  **Hazardous Waste Report** EPA’s 201 3 Hazardous Waste Report national implementation schedule is outlined in Table 4. **Table 4**

**(2 )**  **Notification of Regulated Waste Activity (a)**  **Notification of Hazardous Secondary Material Activity under 40 CFR 260.42** A claimant must prepare and submit a notification to EPA prior to operating under the exclusion(s). In addition, the claimant must update and submit notification to EPA by March 1 of each even numbered year thereafter. A claimant that submitted a notification but then subsequently

stops managing hazardous secondary materials in accordance with the exclusio n(s) must submit notification to EPA within 30 days. **(b) Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity under RCRA Section 3010**  Under sections 262.12, 263.11, 264.11 and 265.11, all new hazardous waste generators, transporters, and TSDFs must notify EPA of the ir hazardous waste activities and obtain an EPA Id entification Number before treating, storing, transporting, offering for transport, or disposing of hazardous waste. Under section 270.1(b), these hazardous waste generators, transporters, and TSDFs, are also subject to newly promulgated or revised regulations at 40 CFR Part 261 (identification and listing of hazardous wastes) and must notify EPA of new or revised hazardous waste activities no later than 90 days after promulgation or revision. In addition, other generators; transporters; recyclers; and treatment, storage and disposal facilities that are subject to notification requirements under sections 266.21, 266.22, 266.23, 266.70(b)(1), 266.80(b)(1)(i), 266.80(b)(2)(i), 266.101(a), 266.101(b), 266.101( c), 266.102(a)(2)(ii), 266.103(a)(4)(ii), and 273.60(a) must notify

EPA of their hazardous waste activities within the same time frame. Under section 273.54, universal waste transporters who determine that any material resulting from a release of universal waste is a hazardous waste are subject to 40 CFR Part 262. As a result, these transporters may also be subject to, under these circumstances, the section 262.12 notification requirements and procedures. As such, these transporters must, at that time, n otify EPA of their hazardous waste activities and obtain an EPA Identification Number before treating, storing, transporting, offering for transport, or disposing of hazardous waste. Finall y, owners or operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces that process hazardous waste either solel y for metals recovery or for recovery of economicall y significant amounts of certain precious metals under sections 266.100(c)(1)(i) and 266.100(f)(1), respectively , and facilities that qualify

for the small quanti ty

on - site burner exemption under section 266.108(d) must provide a written, one
- time notification of their hazardous waste activities. **(c) Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity under 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K**  (c1) Intent to Comply with Subpart K and Recordkeeping of Agreements Under 40 CFR 262.203(a), an eligible academic entity must notify

the appropriate EPA Regional Administrator in writing, using the RCRA Subtitle C Site I dentification Form (EPA Form 8700
- 12), that it is electing to be subject to the requirements of Subpart K for all the laboratories owned b y the eligible academic entity under the same EPA Id entification Number. An eligible academic entity that is a CESQG and does not have an EPA Id entification Number must notify

for all the lab oratories owned b y the eligible academic entity that are on

Id entification Number (or site, for CESQGs) that is electing to be subject to the requirements of Subpart K. This is a one
- time notification. Section 262.203(c) provides that an eligible academic entity must keep a copy

of the notification on file at the eligible academic entity while its laboratories are subject to Subpart K. Section 262.203(d) provides that a teaching hospital that is not owned by a college or university must keep a copy

of its formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university on file at the teaching hospital while its laboratories are subject to Subpart K. S ection 262.203(e) provides that a non
-profit research institute that is not owned by a college or university

must keep a copy

of the formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university

on file at the non
-profit research institute while its la boratories are subject to Subpart K. (c2) Withdrawal from 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K Under 40 CFR 262.204(a), an eligible academic entity must notify

the appropriate EPA Regional Administrator in writing, using the RCRA Subtitle C Site I dentification Form (EPA Form 8700
- 12), that it is electing to no longer be subject to the requirements of Subpart K for all the laboratories owned by the eligible academic entity under the same EPA Identification Number. An eligible academic entity that is a CESQG and does not have an EPA Identification Number must notify

for all the laboratories owned by the eligible academic entity that are on
site. An eligible academic entity must submit a separate notification (Site ID Form) for each EPA Identification Number (or site, for CESQGs) that is withdrawing from the requirements of Subpart K. This is a one
- time notification. Section 262.204(c) provides that an eligible academic entity must keep a copy

of the withdrawal notice on file at the eligible academic entity for three ye ars from the date of the notification. **(d) Notification of Universal Waste Activity under 40**  **CFR Part 273, Subpart C** Under Section 273.32(a)(1), large quantity handlers of universal waste must submit a written, one
- time notification of universal waste activity to the Regional Administrator and obtain an EPA Identification Number before meeting or exceeding the 5,000 kilogram storage limit, unless they

already have notified EPA, as provided by section 273.32(a)(2) or 273.32(a)(3). **(e) Notification of Used Oil Activity under 40 CFR Part 279**  Under sections 279.42, 279.51, 279.62 and 279.73, used oi l handlers who were not previously

required to comply

with the notification requirements (under 40 CFR Part 266, Subpart E) must submit a written, one
- time notification of their used oil management activities and obtain an EPA Identification Number.

## 48

**(3) Part**  **A Hazardous Waste**  **Permit Application and Modification**  **(a) Part A Permit Application**  Owners or operators of new hazardous waste management facilities that are not yet constructed are required to submit their Part A Permit Application, including signatures and certifications at least 180 days before phy sical construction is expected to commence. For existing facilities newly

subject to RCRA permitting requirements due to promulgation of a new regulation or listing of hazardous waste, the new regulation ty pical ly specifies the date by

which Part A Permit Applications, including signatures and certifications, must be submitted. **(b) Revised Part A Permit Applications and Associated Justifications and**  **Subp art H**  **Compliance Demonstrations** The time frame in which owners or operators must submit a revised Part A Permit Application varies according to the nature of changes at the facility . For the following types of changes, the owner or operator must submit revised Part A Permit Applications and justifications prior to m aking the changes:

 

## Treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous wastes not previously identified in the Part A Permit Application.

 

## In creasing the design capacity of processes used at the facility
.

 

## Changing or adding processes for treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous wastes. For changes in ownership or operational control of a facility , the new owner or operator must submit a revised Part A Permit Application no later than 90 days prior to the scheduled change. Subpart H compliance demonstrations must be submitted within six months of the date of the change in ownership or operational control of the facility
.

**6. ESTIMATING THE HOUR AND COST BURDEN OF THE COLLECTION**  **6(a) ESTIMATING RESPONDENT BURDEN HOURS**  Exhibits 1 through 3 provide estimates of the respondent hourly burden associated with the information collection requirements covered in this I CR. The exhibits include burden hours (total and by

labor type) per respondent, as well as the overall burden hours for all respond ents. The majority

of the hour estimates in Exhibits 1 through 3 are based on consultations with industry and States
. In the following paragraphs, EPA describes the methodologies used to estimate the hourly burden associated with the information collections covered in this I CR. **(1) Hazardous Waste Report**  **(a) Methodology for Accounting for Site Identification Forms Pre**  **- Populated by**  **States** In estimating the hourl y burden for preparing the Site ID Form of the Hazardous Waste Report, EPA assumes that 6 5 percent of all the Site ID Forms will be pre
-populated by States prior to distribution to respondents or by vendor software used by the respondents. EPA also assumes that the remaining 35 percent of all the Site ID Forms will be completed manuall y . EPA estimates the burden for updating a pre
-populated Site ID Form to be 20 minutes (0.33 hour) per respondent and the burden for completing a Site ID Form in its entirety (i.e., completing a blank form manuall y) to be 1 hour per respondent. The above burden estimates are reflected in Exhibit 1 as weighted
- averages. EPA derived the weighted averages u sing the calculations in Table 5 below. EPA multiplied the percentage of pre
-populated Site ID Forms by the average burden for updating the inf ormation contained in the form. EPA also multiplied the percentage of blank Site ID Forms b y the average burden for completing the blank form. Then, EPA added up these two products to derive an overall weighted
- average burden. **Table 5 Assumptions and**  **Weighted -** **Average Equation Used in Estimating Burden to Complete the Site Identification Form of the Hazardous Waste Report**  **Assumptions Weighted** **- Average Equation**  0.33 hours to complete pre -populated form; 65 percent of the forms are pre
-populated (0.33 hrs x 0.65) + (1 hr x 0.35) = 0.56 hours 1 hour to complete blank form; 35 percent of the forms are blank

## 50

**(b) Methodology for Accounting for**  **Form GM and**  **Form WR Electronic**  **Reporting** During consultations conducted during the development of this I CR , State and facility representatives indicated that Forms GM and WR often can be completed from databases that track manifests or other information for billing purposes. Based on these consultations , EPA estimated the hourl y burden for the Forms GM and WR submitted electronically to be significantl y less than for forms submitted on paper. For Form GM, EPA also considered that the new set of waste minimization codes in the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report Instructions and Forms is less labor intensive to use and review than the waste minimization codes for previous reporting ye ars (i.e., 2009 and 2011). For example , the requirement to submit comments is optional. As a result, reporting facilities and implementing agencies (i.e., EPA and States) will experienc e a reduction in burden , compared to previous reporting ye ars . Based on this information, EPA used best professional judgment to adjust the hourly

burden associated with the Form GM in order to account for the new waste minimization codes
. To estimate the percentage of facilities that submit Forms GM and WR electronicall y, EPA used information gained from consultations and 2009 Hazardous Waste Report data. For Form GM submissions, EPA estimated that, based on consultations and best professional judgment, facilities submitting five (5) or more Forms GM for the Hazardous Waste Report are likely to do so electroni cally . Using 2009 Hazardous Waste Report data 5 

## , EPA identified sites submitting Forms GM, counted their Forms GM submitted, and calculated the percentage that their Forms GM represented of the total number of Forms GM. Based on this methodology , EPA estimates that 92 percent of Forms GM are submitted electroni call y, while the remaining 8 percent are sent manually
. For Forms WR, EPA believes that TSDFs receiving large numbers of off
- site shipments are more likely

to have systems in place to track waste stream data, and as a consequence, to submit Hazardous Wast e Report data electronic ally
. Using 2009 Hazardous Waste Report data 6 

## , EPA reviewed the list of Forms WR reported to the Hazardous Waste Report by facility and, based on its own professional judgment and consultations, estimates that 100 percent of Forms WR are submitted electronically
. To estimate the average burden per respondent in preparing a Form GM or WR, EPA used the weighted
- average calculations in Table 6 . EPA multiplied the percentage of both forms submitted electronicall y by their respective burden for electronic reporting and the percentage of both forms submitted manually by their respective burden for manual reporting. Then, EPA added the two products for each form, respectively , to calculate an overall weighted
- average burden for both fo rms.

## (2 **) Notification of Regulated Waste Activity**  During consultations conducted during the developm ent of previous versions of this IC R, EPA contacted industry

representatives to ascertain their burden for completing the Site ID Form for initial and subsequent notifications. All of them indicated that they complete a blank Site ID Form for each notification and their burdens ranged from 5 minutes to 3 h ours per submittal. None of the industry

representatives used the Site ID Form’s optional procedures to use a previously

submitted Site ID Form to make a subsequent notification. Specifically , the Site ID Form’s instructions indicate that, after a fac ility has submitted the form once, the State may allow the facility to attach a cop y of the facility’s most recentl y submitted form. If so, the facility must circle item numbers for which any information has changed. Then, circle the item numbers in the new form, enter the new information, and provide the required signatures in Item 14
- Certification. Although none of the industry representatives used a previousl y submitted form to notify, the Agency

believes that a number of respondents do so. This is based on the Agency ’s knowledge of common industry practices. For purposes of this I CR, EPA has estimated the percentage of respondents that use a previousl y submitted form to make a subsequent notification and their burden for doing so. These estimates, along with the consultation data collected, are discussed in the paragraphs below. **(a) Notification of Hazardous Secondary Material Activity under 40 CFR 260.42**  For purposes of this I CR, EPA anticipates that all of the facilities electing to operate under the hazardous secondary material exclusion under 40 CFR 260.42 during the two - year period covered b y this I CR have already submitted the Site ID Form at least once. Of these facilities, EPA estimates that 50 percent will complete a blank Site ID For m to notify

EPA or the State prior to operating under the exclusion and by March 1 of each even numbered year. EPA

## 52

estimates that the other 50 percent will use their most recentl y submitted Site ID F orm in complying with these notification requirements. EPA estimates the burden for completing a blank Site ID Form under section 260.42 to be 1.5 hours per respondent and the burden for using a previously submitted form to be 50 minutes (0.83 hour) per respondent. EPA notes that section 260.42 imposes several substantive requirements specific to the exclusions that must be completed (e.g., quantity of secondary material to be managed annually) in addition to the rest of the Site ID Form. For the no tification submitted indicating that the hazardous secondary materials are no longer managed in accordance to the exclusion, EPA estimates the average hourly burden for completing the Site ID Form in its entirety (i.e., a blank form) to be 1 hour per respo ndent. EPA also estimates the average hourly burden for updating the most recentl y submitted Site ID Form to be 20 minutes (0.33 hour) per respondent. The above burden estimates are reflected in Exhibit 2 as weighted
- averages. EPA derived the weighted averages u sing the calculations in Table 7 below. EPA multiplied the percentage of facilities completing the Site ID Form on its entirety by the average burden for completing the blank form. EPA also multiplied the percentage of facilities that will use the most recentl y submitted Site ID Form by the average burden for updating the information contained in the form. Then, EPA added up these two products to derive an overall weighted
average burden. **Table 7**

**(b) Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity under 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K**  For purposes of this I CR, EPA anticipates that all of the facilities opting into Subpart K during the two
- year period covered b y this ICR have already submitted the Site ID Form at least once. Of these facilities, EPA estimates that 50 percent will complete a blank Site ID Form in opting into Subpart K and in withdrawing from Subpart K
. EPA estimates that the other 50 percent will use their most recentl y submitted S ite ID Form in compl ying with th ese notification requirement s . EPA estimates the burden for completing a blank Site ID Form under Subpart K to be 1 hour per respondent and the burden for using a previously submitted form to be 20 minutes (0.33 hour) per respondent. The above burden estimates are reflected in Exhibit 2 as weighted
- averages. EPA derived the weighted averages u sing the calculations in Table 8 below. EPA multiplied the percentage of facilities completing the Site ID Form on its entirety by the average burden for completing the blank form. EPA also multiplied the percentage of facilities that will use the most recentl y submitted Site ID Form b y the average burden for updating the information contained in the form. Then, EPA added up these two products to derive an overall weighted
average burden. **Table 8**

**Assumptions and Weighted -** **Average Equation Used in Estimating Burden to Complete the**  **Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity under 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K**  **Assumptions Weighted** **- Average Equation**  1 hour to complete blank form; 50 percent of the facilities (1 hr x 0.50) + (0.33 hr x 0.50) = 0.67 hour 0.33 hour to update most recently submitted form; 50 percent of the facilities 

## (c) **Other Notifications Covered in this ICR** For purposes of this I CR, EPA anticipates that 50 percent of the facilities submitting subsequent notifications under RCRA Section 3010; 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C; and 40 CFR Part 279 will complete a blank Site ID Form. EPA estimates that the other 50 percent will use their most recentl y submitted Site ID Form in complying with these notification requirements. EPA estimates the burden for completing a blank Site ID Form to be 1 hour per respondent and the burden for using a previousl y s ubmitted form to be 20 minutes (0.33 hour) per respondent.

## 54

The above burden estimates are reflected in Exhibit 2 as weighted

EPA multiplied the percentage of facilities completing the Site ID Form on its entirety by the average burden for completing the blank form. EPA also multiplied the percentage of facilities that will use the most recentl y submitted Site ID Form by the average burden for updating the information contained in the form.

## (3) **Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification** In estimating the hourl y burden for preparing the Site ID Form of the Part A Permit Application, EPA assumes that all of the facilities submitting a Part A Permit Application or Modification during the two
- year period covered by this ICR have already submitted the Site ID Form at least once. Of these facilities, EPA estimates that 50 percent will complete a blank Site ID Form and the remaining 50 percent will use their most recentl y submitted Site ID Form. EPA estimates the burden for completing a blank Site ID Form to be 1 hour per respondent and the burden for using a previousl y s ubmitted form to be 20 minut es (0.33 hour) per respondent. The above burden estimates are reflected in Exhibit 3 as weighted
- averages. EPA derived the weighted averages u sing the calculations in Table 10 below. EPA multiplied the percentage of facilities completing the Site ID F orm on its entirety by the average burden for completing the blank form. EPA also multiplied the percentage of facilities that will use the most recentl y submitted Site ID Form by the average burden for updating the information contained in the form. Then, EPA added up these two products to derive an overall weighted

## 6(b) **ESTIMATING RESPONDENT COSTS** Exhibits 1 through 3 provide estimates of the annual respondent costs associated with the information collection requirements covered in this I CR. These costs are based on the cost of labor, capital, and operation and maintenance (O&M). **(1) Labor Costs**  Using the total burden hours discussed in Section 6(a) and the hourl y labor costs outlined in this section, Exhibits 1 through 3 illustrate the labor costs associated with the information collection requirements covered in this I CR. **(a) Private Sector**  **Fa cil** **ities** EPA estimates an average hourly respondent labor cost (including fringe and overhead) of $12 5
. 79 for legal staff, $7 4.35 for managerial staff, $5 5
. 39 for technical staff, and $3 3
. 32 for clerical staff. These respondent l abor costs were obtained from the previously approved ICR ( i.e., EPA I CR Number 0976.1 5 , dated August 8, 2011 ), and updated to 201 2 levels using Employ ment Cost Indexes developed by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 7

## The above O&M cost s are shown in Exhibits 1 through 3 for all applicable respondent activities. **6(c) ESTIMATING AGENCY HOUR AND COST BURDEN**  EPA estimates the Agency hour and cost burden associated with the information collection requirements covered in this I CR in Exhibits 4 through 6 . As shown in the exhibits, EPA estimates an average hourly labor cost of $86.56 for legal staff (GS15, Step 5), $76.38 for managerial staff (GS
- 15, Step 1), $54.94 for technical staff (GS
- 13, Step 1), and $23.44 for clerical staff (GS
- 06, Step 1). To derive these hourly estimates, EPA referred to the General Schedule (GS) Salary

Table 201 2
. 17 

## This publication summarizes the unloaded (base) hourl y rate for various labor categories in the Federal Government. EPA then applied the standard government overhe ad factor of 1.6 to the unloaded rate to derive loaded hourly rates. EPA does not anticipate that the Agency will incur capital costs in carrying out the information collection requirements covered in this I CR. O&M costs are associated with Hazardous Wa ste Report activities. In particular, EPA estimates that the Agency will incur a cost of $ 21,2 13 in printing paper and CD copies of the Hazardous Waste Report forms and instructions, $ 265, 161 in developing computer capabilities required to compile national data, $ 53, 032 in preparing the National Report, and $ 37, 123 in storing the national data
. These O&M cost s were obtained from the previously approved ICR (i.e., EPA I CR Number 0976.1 5 , dated August 8, 2011 ), and updated to 201 2 levels using Consumer Pric e Indexes developed b y the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 18 

## EPA O&M cos t s are shown in Exhibit 4 for all applicable activities.

**6(d) ESTIMATING RESPONDENT UNIVERSE AND TOTAL HOUR AND**  **COST BURDEN** In this section, EPA first describes the estimated respondent universe. EPA then estimates the annual burden to respondents under the information collection requirements covered in this ICR. EPA notes that, a s used in this document , the term “respondent” includes:

 

## Hazardous waste facilities complying with the Hazardous Waste Report, notification, and Part A Permit Application requirements cov ered in this ICR. This includes:

 Private sector entities; and

 State and local government ag encies that are regulated entities 19



## .

 

## State agencies administering the RCRA hazardous waste program 20



## . **(1) Respondent Universe**  **(a) Hazardous Waste Report**  Based on 2009 Hazardous Waste Report data21 

## , EPA estimates that the total number of respondents to the 201 3 Hazardous Waste Report will be 21,066 , which annualized over the two
ye ar report cycle equals 10,533 per ye ar (i.e., 21,066 /2 ). Table 11 presents information on the total number o f forms associated with the 201 3 Hazardous Waste Report. In estimating annual respondent burden and cost, EPA annualized these numbers over the two
- year report cycle.

19 

### Addressing State and l ocal government agencies as “respondents” is consistent with EPA’s interpretation of the d efinition of respondent in the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).

## The number of respondents and forms for each respondent activity is presented in Exhibit 1 . These estimates assume that all forms are submitted in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Report instructions. Exhibit 1 also estimates the annual respondent burden and cost for the activities examined. **(b )**  **Notification of Regulated Waste Activity**  In estimating the number of respondents subject to the notification requirements covered in this I CR , EPA referred to RCRAInfo
. EPA estimated the annual number of notifications tracked b y RCRAInfo. EPA then averaged the number of notifications submitted in 2009 and 2010. These estimates are presented in Table 12 and used to estimate the total respondent burden and costs per information collection activity shown in Exhibit 2 of this I CR. **(c) Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modificatio**  **n** In estimating the number of respondents subject to the Part A Permit Application requirements covered in this I CR , EPA referred to the RCRAInfo sy stem. EPA estimated the annual number of Part A Permit Applications tracked by RCRAInfo. EPA then averaged the number of applications submitted in 2009 and 2010. These estimates are presented in Table 13 and used to estimate the total respondent burden and cos ts per information collection activity shown in Exhibit 3 of this I CR.

**(2) Annual Respondent Burden**  **(a )**  **H azardous Waste Report**  **- Facilities**  **(Exhibit s**  **1 A and 1B**  **)** (a1 ) Read the Hazardous Waste Report Instructions EPA estimates that all 21,066 respondents will read the Hazardous Waste Report instructions . Annualized over the two
- ye ar report cycle, this results in 10,533 respondents reading the instructions each ye ar (i.e., 9,488 private sector facilities and 1,045 State and local government facilities)
. (a2 ) Revise I

n -House or Commercial Data System EPA estimates that all 7,858 electronic reporters will revise their in
- house or commercial data system to include new Hazardous Waste Report data items that are not part of the facility ’s general business operations
. Annualized over the two
- ye ar report cycle, this results in 3,929 respondents revising their in
- house or commercial data systems each ye ar (i.e., 3,707 private sector facilities and 222 State and local government facilities)
. (a 3 ) Gather Information and Complete Site Identification Form EPA estimates that all 21,066 respondents will complete and submit a Site ID Form with the Hazardous Waste Report. Annualized over the two
- year report cycle, this results in 10,533 respondents preparing and submitting a Site ID Form each ye ar (i.e., 9,488 private sector facilities and 1,045 State and local government facilities)
. (a 4 ) Gather Information and Complete Form GM EPA estimates that respondents will submit a total of 206,032 Forms GM with the Hazardous Waste Report. Annualized over the two
- ye ar report cycle, this results in 103,016 Forms GM each ye ar (i.e., 94,764 forms from private sector facilities and 8,252 forms from State and local government facilities)
. (a 5 ) Gather Information and Complete Form WR E PA estimates that respondents will submit a total of 1,036,999 Forms WR with the Hazardous Waste Report. Annualized over the two
- ye ar report cycle, this results in 518,500 Forms WR each ye ar (i.e., 509,494 forms from private sector facilities and 9,006 fo rms from State and local government facilities)
. Note that the number of Forms WR represents the number of blocks on Form WR that have been completed; the paper form actuall y contains three blocks of the same WR information (i.e., the same questions, repeated three times on the same page).

## 64

(a 6 ) Gather Information and Complete Form OI Because this form is a State
- optional form, EPA does not expect any facilities to submit Form OI and therefore does not calculate the burden for this form. (a 7 ) Submit the Biennial Report to State/Region EPA expects each respondent, 10,533 facilities per year (i.e., 9,488 private sector facilities and 1,045 State and local government facilities), to submit the report to the appropriate State or Region. (a 8 ) Maintain a Copy of Each Form EPA expects facilities to retain an estimated 632,049 (i.e., 10,533 Site ID Forms + 103,016 Forms GM + 518,500 Forms WR) forms each ye ar (i.e., 613,746 forms from private sector facilities and 18,303 forms from State and local government facilities)
. **(b )**  **H azardous Waste Report** 
**– State Agencies (Exhibit 1C**  **)** (b1 ) Distribute Hazardous Waste Report Forms and Instructions EPA estimates that State agencies will distribute Hazardous Waste Report forms and instructions to 20,887 respondents. Annualized over the two
- ye ar report cycle, this results in 10,444 respondents each year. (b2 ) Assist Respondents EPA expects State agencies to provide assistance to all 20,887 respondents. Annualized over the two
- ye ar report cycle, this results in 10,444 respondents each ye ar. (b3 ) Key Entry of Report Submissions EPA estimates that State agencies will need to key enter data for 24,480 Hazardous Waste Report forms (i.e., Site ID Form , Form GM, and Form WR) completed manuall y b y the facilities. Annualized over the two
- ye ar report cycle, this results in 12,240 respondents each ye ar. (b4

) Perform Quality Assurance EPA expects State agencies to perform data quality assurance on all 1 , 261 , 900 Hazardous Waste Report forms (i.e., Site ID Form , Form GM, and Form WR) submitted by facilities. Annualized over the two
- ye ar report cycle, this results in 630,950 respondents each ye ar.

## 65

**(c )**  **Notification of Regulated Waste Activity (Exhibit**  **s 2**  **A and 2B )**  (c 1) Notification of Hazardous Secondary Material Activity under 40 CFR 260.42 EPA estimates that, each year, 24 entities (i.e., 23 private sector facilities and 1 State and local government facility) will notify EPA under section 260.42 prior to operating und er the exclusion and be required to complete the information laid out at section 260.42(a). In addition, entities must re
- notify EPA using the Site ID Form by March 1 of each even numbered ye ar thereafter. Note that the Hazardous Waste Report regulations already require the submittal of the Site ID Form by March 1 of each even numbered year b y L QGs (40 CFR Part 262) and TSDF s (40 CFR Part 264 and 265). Hence, this section of the ICR estimates burden for SQG and CESQG re - notifications only . For purposes of this I CR, EP A estimates that, each ye ar, a total of four SQGs and CESQGs will re
- notify EP A (i.e., 4 private sector facilities and 0 State and local government facilities). EPA estimates that, each year, two entities will re
- notify because they

stopped operating under the exclusion (i.e., 2 private sector facilities and 0 State and local gover nment facilities). (c2) Notification of Hazardous W aste Activity under RCRA Section 3010 EPA estimates that, each year, 9,463 facilities (i.e., 7,959 private sector facilities and 1,504 State and local government facilities) will submit an initial notifi cation of hazardous waste activity under RCRA Section 3010. EPA also estimates that, each ye ar, 36,057 facilities (i.e., 33,968 private sector facilities and 2,089 State and local government facilities) will submit a subsequent notification associated with these requirements. (c 3) Notification of Hazardous W aste Activity under 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K Intent to Comply

with Subpart K and Recordkeeping of Agreements An eligible academic entity must submit the Site ID Form to notify EPA or the authorized State that it is electing to be subject to Subpart K for all laboratories owned b y the eligible academic entity

under the same EPA Identification Number. An eligible academic entity that is a CESQG and does not have an EPA Identification Number must notify for all laboratories that are owned or operated b y the eligible academic entity that are on
- site. E PA estimates that, each ye ar, eight forms will be completed, submitted, and retained (i.e., 6 forms from private sector entities and 2 forms from State and local government entities)
. Teaching hospitals opting into Subpart K must keep a cop y of their formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university on file if they

are not owned by

a college or university
. EPA does not expect any eligible teaching hospital to opt into Subpart K during the two - ye ar period covered by this ICR
.

## 66

Non
-profit research institutes not owned by a college or university opting into Subpart K must keep a cop y of the formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university on file. EPA estimates that, each year, one site will retain the agreement on file. Withdrawal from 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K EPA does not expect any eligible academic entity to submit a withdrawal notification during the two - year period covered b y this ICR. (c 4) Notification of Universal W aste Activity under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C EPA estimates that, each year, 80 facilities (i.e., 61 private sector facilities and 19 State and local government facilities) will submit an initial notification of universal waste activity under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C. Of these facilities, 75 percent (i.e., 80 x 0.75 = 60 ) will use the Site ID Form and 25 percent (i.e., 80 x 0.25 = 20 ) will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EP A Identification Number. EPA also estimates that, each ye ar, 74 facilities (i.e., 70 private sector facilities and 4 State and local government facilities) will submit a subsequent notification of universal waste activity under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C. Of these facilities, 75 percent (i.e., 74 x 0.75 = 56 ) will use the Site ID Form and 25 percent (i.e., 74 x 0.25 = 18 ) will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Identification Number. (c 5) Notification of Used Oil Activity under 40 CFR Part 279 EPA estimates that, each year, 1 1 4 facilities (i.e., 111 private sector facilities and 3 State and local government facilities) will submit an initial notification of used oil activity under 40 CFR Part 279. Of these facilities, 75 percent (i.e., 11 4 x 0.75 = 8 5 ) will use the Site ID Form and 25 percent (i.e., 1 1 4 x 0.25 = 2 9 ) will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Id entification Number. EPA also estimates that, each ye ar, 208 facilities (i.e., 199 private sector facilities and 9 State and local government facilities) will submit a subsequent notification of universal waste activity under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C. Of these facilities, 75 percent (i.e., 208 x 0.75 = 156 ) will use the Site ID Form and 25 percent (i.e., 208 x 0.25 = 52 ) will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Identification Number. **(d) Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification**  **- Facilities**  **(Exhibit s**  **3 A and 3B**  **)** (d1) Part A Permit Application EPA estimates that , each year, four facilities (i.e., 3 private sector facilities and 1 State and local government facility ) will submit a new Part A Permit Application. All facilities will need to obtain signatures for the Part A Permit Application, Part A Permit Application reports,

## 67

and other inform ation requested by th e Director. In addition, all facilities will need to obtain certifications from persons signing permit documentation. EPA also estimates that , each ye ar, 10 percent of the facilities submitting Part A Permit Applications will have authorizations that are no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility . Therefore, each year, one (1) facility will need to obtain a new authorization. (d 2 ) Revised Part A Permit Applications and Associated Justifications and Subpart H Compliance Demonstrations EPA estimates that , each year, 22 facilities (i.e., 20 private sector facilities and 2 State and local government facilities) will need to revise their Part A Permit Appli cation. Of these, EPA expects that approx imately one - third (7 facilities) will submit a revised Part A Permit Application in response to an EP A rulemaking, and two
- thirds (15 facilities) will submit a revised Part A Permit Application for a facility modif ication. EPA further estimates that , each ye ar, one - third of facilities submitting revise d Part A Permit Applications (7 facilities) will need to submit justifications due to either changes in the design capacity

of processes used at the facility and/or changes or additions in a facility's hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal processes. In addition, EPA estimates that , each ye ar, one - third of facilities submitting revis ed Part A Permit Applications (7 facilities) will need to submit a Subpart H compliance demonstration due to changes in ownership or operational control of a facility
. **(e) Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification** 

**– State**  **Agencies (Exhibit 3C)** (e 1) Part A Permit Application EPA estimates that , each year, State agencies will receive four Part A Permit Applications. State agencies will need to review the applications, review the s ignatories to the permit applications and reports, and enter the Part A Permit Application information into the RCRAInfo database. EPA also estimates that , each ye ar, 10 percent of the Part A Permit Applications will have authorizations that are no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility

for the overall operation of the facility . Therefore, each ye ar, State agencies will need to n otify one (1) applicant of a deficiency in the Part A Application and review the newl y authorized signature.

## 68

(e2 ) Revised Part A Permit Applications and Associated Justifications and Subpart H Compliance Demonstrations EPA estimates that , each year, State agencies will receive 22 revised Part A Permit Application s . State agencies will need to review the applications and enter the Part A Permit Application information into the RCRAInfo database. EPA further estimates that , each ye ar, one - third of the revise d Part A Permit Applications (7 applications ) will be accompanied b y justifications due to either changes in the design capacity of processes used at the facility and/or changes or additions in a facility's hazardous wa ste treatment, storage, or disposal processes. Inaddition, EPA estimates that , each ye ar, one third of the revis ed Part A Permit Applications (7 applications ) will be accompanied by a Subpart H compliance demonstration due to changes in ownership or operational control of a facility
. State agencies will need to review all justifications and Subpart H compliance demonstrations. **6(e) BOTTOM LINE HOUR AND COST BURDEN**  **(1) Respondent Tally**  Exhibit 7 summarizes the total annual re spondent hour and cost burden associated with all the requirements covered in this I CR. As shown in the exhibit, EPA estimates the annual respondent burden to be 4 32 , 90 3 hours and $18, 404 , 963 . The bottom line burden to respondents over two years is estim ated to be 8 65 , 807 hours and $36, 809 , 927
. **(2) Agency Tally**  Exhibit 8 summarizes the total annual EPA hour and cost burden associated with all the requirements covered in this I CR. As shown in the exh ibit, EPA estimates the annual EPA burden to be 120,882 hours and $6,30 9 , 135
. The bottom line burden to EPA over two ye ars is estimated to be 241,764 hours and $12,61 8 , 270
. **6(f) REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN**  Following is a discussion of reasons for change in burden. Note that this ICR burden changed solel y because of adjustments. There were no program changes. **(1 )**  **Hazardous Waste Report (a)**  **F acility Burden**  For facilities, the annual burden estimate for the 20 11 Hazardous Wast e Report (EPA ICR Number 0976. 15 ) was 1 71,280 hours . The annual burden estimate for the 201 3 Hazardous Waste Report is 17 0 ,2 5 0 hours . This represents a de crease of 1, 030 hours
.

## 69

In developing this I CR, EPA carefully reviewed the respondent activities associated with the Hazardous Waste Report requirements. Based on this review, EPA de creased the hourl y burden estimate associated with the completion of the Form GM in order to account for changes in the waste minimization data reported in the form (i.e., use of a revised set of waste minimization codes for which the requirement to submit comments is optional ). EPA believes that the revised burden estimates included in this ICR refle ct a realistic industry average . **(b) State Agency Burden**  For State agencies, the annual burden estimate for the 20 11 Hazardous Wast e Report (EPA I CR Number 0976.1 5 ) was 2 34 , 647 hours . The annual burden estimate for the 201 3 Hazardous Waste Report is 2 28 , 337 hours. This represents a de crease of 6,310 hours. This de crease in burden has occurred because EPA decreased the hourl y burden estimate associated with performing quality assurance activities in order to account for changes in the waste minimiz ation data reported in Form GM (i.e., use of a revised set of waste minimization codes for which the requirement to submit comments is optional ). EPA believes that the revised burden estimates included in this I CR reflect a realistic industry average **(2) Not** **ification of Regulated Waste Activity** There are no changes in the annual burden estimate between the previousl y approved ICR (EPA I CR Number 0976.1 5 ) and this current I CR (EPA I CR Number 0976.16). In both I CRs, the annual burden estimate is 33,826 hours
. **(3) Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification**  There are no changes in the annual burden estimate between the previousl y approved ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.15 ) and this current ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.16). In both I CRs, the annual burden estimate is 490 hours (i.e., 389 hours for facilities and 101 hours for State agencies)
. **6(g) PUBLIC BURDEN STATEMENT**  **(1 )**  **Hazardous Waste Report** The reporting burden is e stimated to be approximately 12 hours for a facility to gather data, complete and review the forms, and submit the Hazardous Waste Report. The recordkeeping burden is estimated to be approximately 5 hours to read the instructions, and file and store the H azardous Waste Report submission for three ye ars. The reporting burden is estimated to be approximately 22 hours per facility for a State agency to distribute the Hazardous Waste Report In structions and Forms , assist respondents, key entry report submissions, and perform quality assurance. There are no recordkeeping requirements associated with this requirement , and as such, there is no recordkeeping burden.
