edocket. 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are those State 

and local employees engaged in 

hazardous waste operations and 

emergency response in the 27 States that 

do not have Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration (OSHA) 

approved State plans. 

Title: EPA Worker Protection 

Standard for Hazardous Waste 

Operation and Emergency Response, 

OMB Control # 2050–0105, EPA ICR # 

1426.07, Expiration 12/31/05. This is a 

request for renewal of a currently 

approved collection. 

Abstract: Section 126(f) of the 

Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) 

requires EPA to set worker protection 

standards for State and local employees 

engaged in hazardous waste operations 

and emergency response in the 27 States 

that do not have Occupational Safety 

and Health Administration approved 

State plans. The EPA coverage, required 

to be identical to the OSHA standards, 

extends to three categories of 

employees: those engaged in clean-ups 

at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, 

including corrective actions at 

Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD) 

facilities regulated under the Resource 

Conservation and recovery Act (RCRA); 

employees working at routine hazardous 

waste operations at RCRA TSD facilities, 

and employees involved in emergency 

response operations without regard to 

location. This ICR renews existing 

mandatory record keeping collection of 

ongoing activities including monitoring 

of any potential employee exposure at 

uncontrolled hazardous waste sites, 

maintaining records of employee 

training, refresher training, medical 

exams and reviewing emergency 

response plans. An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The OMB control numbers for EPA’s 

regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 

and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The EPA would 

like to solicit comments to: 

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(iv) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

Burden Statement: The annual 

recordkeeping burden for this collection 

will remain unchanged from previous 

estimates and is estimated to average 

10.46 hours per site or event. The 

estimated number of respondents is 

approximated at 100 RCRA TSD 

facilities or uncontrolled hazardous 

waste sites: 23,900 State and local 

police departments, fire departments or 

hazardous materials teams. The 

estimated total burden hours on 

respondents: 255,427. The frequency of 

collection: continuous maintenance of 

records. Burden means to total time, 

effort, and financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Remit comments regarding these 

matters, or any other aspect of the 

information collection, including 

suggestions for reducing the burden, to 

the address listed above.
