Title: Final Authorization for 

Hazardous Waste Management Programs 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0969.08, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0041. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on September 30, 

2008. Under OMB regulations, the 

Agency may continue to conduct or 

sponsor the collection of information 

while this submission is pending at 

OMB. 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 for a State to obtain 

final authorization for a State hazardous 

waste program or to revise its previously 

authorized program, it must submit an 

official application to the EPA Regional 

office for approval. The purpose of the 

application is to enable EPA to properly 

determine whether the State’s program 

meets the requirements of § 3006 of the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). A State with an approved 

program may voluntarily transfer 

program responsibilities to EPA by 

notifying EPA of the proposed transfer, 

as required by 40 CFR 271.23. Further, 

EPA may withdraw a State’s authorized 

program under 40 CFR 271.23. 

State program revision may be 

necessary when the controlling Federal 

or State statutory or regulatory authority 

is modified or supplemented. In the 

event that the State is revising its 

program by adopting new Federal 

requirements, the State shall prepare 

and submit modified revisions of the 

program description, Attorney General’s 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 23, 2008 / Notices 54801 

statement, Memorandum of Agreement, 

or such other documents as EPA 

determines to be necessary. The State 

shall inform EPA of any proposed 

modifications to its basic statutory or 

regulatory authority in accordance with 

40 CFR 271.21. If a State is proposing 

to transfer all or any part of any program 

from the approved State agency to any 

other agency, it must notify EPA in 

accordance with 40 CFR 271.21 and 

submit revised organizational charts as 

required under 40 CFR 271.6, in 

accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. These 

paperwork requirements are mandatory 

under § 3006(a) of RCRA. EPA will use 

the information submitted by the State 

in order to determine whether the 

State’s program meets the statutory and 

regulatory requirements for 

authorization. 

Burden Statement: EPA does not 

expect any States to develop a program 

application or to submit a base program 

application over the three year period 

covered in this ICR. For a State 

submitting a revised program to EPA, 

the reporting burden is estimated to be 

1,009 hours per year, with no associated 

recordkeeping burden. For a State 

whose program is being withdrawn, the 

reporting burden is estimated to average 

207 hours, with no associated 

recordkeeping burden. EPA, however, 

does not expect that any State program 

will be withdrawn during the next three 

years. 

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 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: State 

governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

58. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

19,968. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$658,454, which includes $658,454 

annualized labor costs and $0 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in hours in the total estimated 

burden currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
