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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of this estimate, which is 

only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 4,190. 

Frequency of response: Once every 

five years. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1.0. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

432,274 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$19,400,000. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $19,400,000 and an 

estimated cost of $0 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates 

from the Last Approval? 

There is an increase of 18,699 hours 

(from 413,575 hours to 432,274 hours) 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR most recently approved by 

OMB. In the 2006 Inventory Update 

Rule (IUR) collection covered by the 

previous ICR, inorganic chemical were 

partially exempt and therefore, 

manufacturers (including importers) of 

inorganic chemicals completed only 

partial reports. However, in subsequent 

reporting periods, including the period 

covered by this ICR, manufacturers 

(including importers) of inorganic 

chemicals must complete full reports 

when the site-specific production 

volume is 300,000 pounds or more. Full 

reports are estimated to take an 

additional 85 hours to complete. This 

represents a program change. 

EPA used data reported to the 2006 

IUR collection to estimate numbers of 

respondents. Total sites reporting are 

estimated to be 4,190 for this collection. 

In the previous ICR, the number of sites 

responding was estimated to be 3,026 

sites. This re-estimate is another reason 

for the change in burden hours. This 

change is an adjustment. 

V. What is the Next Step in the Process 

for this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. If you have any 

questions about this ICR or the approval 

process, please contact the technical 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the docket ID number identified in this 

document. 

What Information Is EPA Particularly 

Interested in? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

What Should I Consider When I 

Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Affected entities: EPA assumes that 

industrial waste units that previously 

co-disposed non-hazardous wastes and 

conditionally exempt small quantity 

generator (CESQG) hazardous waste onsite have ceased that practice and that 

commercial off-site industrial waste 

units are operating with stringent 

environmental controls in place. 

Therefore, entities that potentially will 

be affected by this action are limited to 

those that dispose of CESQG hazardous 

wastes in construction and demolition 

(C&D) waste landfills. 

Title: Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Criteria for 

Classification of Solid Waste Disposal 

Facilities and Practices, Recordkeeping 

and Reporting Requirements—40 CFR 

Part 257, Subpart B. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1745.06, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0154. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 31, 

2009. 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 title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed 

either by publication in the Federal 

Register or by other appropriate means, 

such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: In order to effectively 

implement and enforce final changes to 

40 CFR Part 257—Subpart B on a State 

level, owners/operators of construction 

and demolition waste landfills that 

receive CESQG hazardous wastes will 

have to comply with the final reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements. 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 number for 

EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. This 

continuing ICR documents the 

recordkeeping and reporting burdens 

associated with the location and 

ground-water monitoring provisions 

contained in 40 CFR Part 257—Subpart 

B. 

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: Burden means the 

total time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. 

This includes the time needed to review 

instructions; develop, acquire, install, 

and utilize technology and systems for 

the purposes of collecting, validating, 

and verifying information, processing 

and maintaining information, and 

disclosing and providing information; 

adjust the existing ways to comply with 

any previously applicable instructions 

and requirements; train personnel to be 

able to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. Burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

average 74 hours per response.
