Title: EPA Worker Protection 

Standards for Hazardous Waste 

Operation and Emergency Response 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1426.08, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0105. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on June 30, 2009. 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: 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. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 12 hours per 

response. 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 

and local governments in the 27 States 

and 2 territories that do not have OSHAapproved plans under section 18(b) of 

the OSH Act. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

25,052. 

Frequency of Response: Once, 

Annually, On Occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

311,680.

28240 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 113 / Monday, June 15, 2009 / Notices 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$4,253,976, includes no annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 56,253 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This is due primarily to the 

estimated growth in the number of fire 

departments and other respondents 

subject to this collection.

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1899.05, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0422. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on August 31, 2009. 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, 

and 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: Respondents subject to 40 

CFR part 60, subpart Ce, and to 40 CFR 

part 62, subpart HHH, are owners or 

operators of hospital, medical, or 

infectious waste incinerators. Subpart 

Ce was promulgated on September 15, 

1997, and requires states or tribes to 

develop plans to implement the 

Emission Guidelines. If approvable State 

or tribal plans were not developed, EPA 

was required to develop a Federal plan 

to implement the Emission Guidelines 

in such States or tribes. The Federal 

plan, subpart HHH, was promulgated on 

September 14, 2000. 

Subparts Ce and HHH require initial 

notifications, performance tests, and 

annual and semi-annual reporting. 

Owners or operators are also required to 

maintain records of the occurrence and 

duration of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. These notifications, reports, 

and records are essential in determining 

compliance. 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of these parts shall maintain 

a file of these measurements, and retain 

the file for at least five years following 

the collection of such measurements, 

maintenance reports, and records. All 

reports are sent to the delegated State or 

tribal authority. In the event that there 

is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce and 40 

CFR part 62, subpart HHH, as 

authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of 

the Clean Air Act. The required 

information consists of emissions data 

and other information that have been 

determined to be private. 

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 regulations listed in 40
