organizations, schools, colleges, 

universities, and federal/state/local/ 

tribal governments. Due to the broad 

universe of eligible WasteWise partners, 

a relevant list of NAICS codes would 

include virtually every business area 

contained in the NAICS code manual. 

Therefore, it is not practical to include 

such a comprehensive list of affected 

organizations. The WasteWise Endorser 

Program initially targeted more than 100 

trade associations across numerous 

industry sectors. The program is, 

however, open to all trade associations, 

membership organizations, and federal/ 

state/local/tribal organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,525. 

Frequency of Response: Once when 

registering for the program, then yearly 

to report progress. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

56,700. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

Includes $0 annualized capital or O&M 

costs, and $3,000,000 annual labor 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 350 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to an 

adjustment. Participation in the program 

has increased.

Title: RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit 

Application and Modification, Part A 

(Renewal) 

Abstract: Section 3010 of Subtitle C of 

RCRA, as amended, requires any person 

who generates or transports regulated 

waste or who owns or operates a facility 

for the treatment, storage, or disposal 

(TSDF) of regulated waste to notify EPA 

of their activities, including the location 

and general description of activities and 

the regulated wastes managed. Section 

3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires 

TSDFs to obtain a permit. To obtain the 

permit, the TSDF must submit an 

application describing the facility’s 

operation. There are two parts to the 

RCRA permit application—Part A and 

Part B. Part A defines the processes to 

be used for treatment, storage, and 

disposal of hazardous wastes: The 

design capacity of such processes: and 

the specific hazardous wastes to be 

handled at the facility. Part B requires 

detailed site specific information such 

as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering 

data. 

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 in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and record keeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 25 hours per 

response for new applications, 13 for 

revised applications. Burden means the 

70828 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 23, 2005 / Notices 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. 

This includes the time needed to review 

instructions; develop, acquire, install, 

and utilize technology and systems for 

the purposes of collecting, validating, 

and verifying information, processing 

and maintaining information, and 

disclosing and providing information; 

adjust the existing ways to comply with 

any previously applicable instructions 

and requirements; train personnel to be 

able to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Any 

person or organization who generates or 

transports regulated waste or owns or 

operates a facility for the treatment, 

storage, or disposal of regulated waste. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

23. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

402. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$29,056, which includes $0 annualized 

capital costs, $172 annualized O&M 

costs, and $28,884 Respondent Labor 

Costs per year. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 174 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is due to the 

number of revised Part A Applications 

decreasing from 28 per year for the years 

1999, 2000, and 2001 to 15 per year for 

the years 2002, 2003, and 2004.

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Tribal Solid Waste 

Interagency Workgroup is soliciting 

proposals for its eighth year of the 

Tribal Solid Waste Management 

Assistance Project (previously called the 

Open Dump Cleanup Project). Since 

FY99, the Workgroup has funded over 

100 projects with approximately $15.4 

million. In FY05, the Interagency 

Workgroup made approximately $2 

million available to fully or partially 

fund 20 selected projects. A similar 

amount of funding is projected for 

FY06. The Project is part of a Federal 

effort to help tribes comprehensively 

address their solid waste needs. The 

purpose of the Project is to assist with 

closing or upgrading tribal high-threat 

waste disposal sites and providing 

alternative disposal and integrated solid 

waste management. The Workgroup was 

established in April 1998 to coordinate 

Federal assistance to tribes in bringing 

their waste disposal sites into 

compliance with the municipal solid 

waste landfill criteria (40 CFR part 258). 

Current Workgroup members include 

representatives from the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA); the Bureau of Indian Affairs 

(BIA); the Indian Health Service (IHS); 

and the Departments of Agriculture and 

Defense. 

DATES: For consideration, proposals 

must be postmarked by January 31, 2006 

and received by EPA no later than 

February 10, 2006. Proposals received 

after the closing date will not be 

considered. Electronic submissions 

must be submitted no later than January 

31, 2006. See the Guidance for 

Applicants package for more 

information on the submission deadline.
