Agency Information Collection

Activities Under OMB Review

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

the Information Collection Request (ICR)

abstracted below has been forwarded to

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and comment. The

ICR describes the nature of the

information collection and its expected

cost and burden.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before May 3, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

further information or a copy call Sandy

Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–2740, please

refer to EPA ICR # 1729.01.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Office of Prevention, Pesticides and

Toxic Substances

Title: Disposal of Polychlorinated

Biphenyls; Proposed Amendments;

Related Reporting & Recordkeeping

Requirements. (ICR No: 1729.01). This is

a request for the approval of burden

hours for requirements under section

6(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act

(TSCA). This is a new collection.

Abstract: EPA is charged under

section 6(e) of the Toxic Substances

Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2605(e),

to regulate the making, disposal,

manufacturing, processing, distribution

in commerce, and use of PCBs. Since

1978, EPA has promulgated numerous

rules addressing all aspects of the life

cycle of PCBs as required by the statute.

Under the current rulemaking, EPA

proposes to amend the PCB regulations

to: (1) Provide flexibility in disposal

technologies and decontamination

procedures; (2) ease the procedures for

obtaining EPA approvals; (3) clarify

existing regulations; (4) modify the

requirements for the use/maintenance,

distribution in commerce, and disposal

of PCB equipment; and (5) address

issues of notification and manifesting of

PCB wastes and changes in the

operation of commercial storage

facilities.

Information required by this

amendment includes both reporting and

recordkeeping. Reporting includes

notifications: to obtain an identification

number, to register PCB transformers, to

engage in research and development

activities, to seek approval of PCB

disposal activities, or to exceed the

current 1-year storage limitation.

Recordkeeping activities include

monitoring and recording the transfer,

storage and disposal of PCBs/PCB

equipment; the processing and

distribution in commerce of PCBs; and

the decontamination of PCB items.

EPA uses this information to ensure

PCBs are managed in an

environmentally safe manner and that

activities are being conducted in

compliance with the PCB regulations.

Burden Statement: The public burden

for this collection of information is

estimated to average 82 hours per

respondent to provide data on the

manufacture, processing, distribution in

commerce, use and disposal of PCBs.

Less than 2 percent of the total burden

is recordkeeping. These reporting and

recordkeeping requirements are needed

by EPA to monitor and control the life

cycle of PCBs.

Respondents: Owners or operators of

public warehousing and storage; electric

services; sanitary services (incinerators,

landfills); steam supply (high-efficiency

boilers); administration of

environmental quality programs.

Estimated No. of Respondents:

100,000.

Estimated No. of Responses per

Respondent: 1.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 8,200,000 hours.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

Send comments regarding the burden

estimate, or any other aspect of the

information collection, including

suggestions for reducing the burden,
