Title: General Hazardous Waste 

Facility Standards (Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1571.09, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0120. 

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 3004 of the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA), as amended, requires that 

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) develop standards for 

hazardous waste treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities (TSDFs) as may be 

necessary to protect human health and 

the environment. Subsections 

3004(a)(1), (3), (4), (5), and (6) specify 

that these standards include, but not be 

limited to, the following requirements: 

• Maintaining records of all 

hazardous wastes identified or listed 

under subtitle C that are treated, stored, 

or disposed of, and the manner in which 

such wastes were treated, stored, or 

disposed of; 

• Operating methods, techniques, and 

practices for treatment, storage, or 

disposal of hazardous waste; 

• Location, design, and construction 

of such hazardous waste treatment, 

disposal, or storage facilities; 

• Contingency plans for effective 

action to minimize unanticipated 

damage from any treatment, storage, or 

disposal of any such hazardous waste; 

and 

• Maintaining or operating such 

facilities and requiring such additional 

qualifications as to ownership, 

continuity of operation, training for 

personnel, and financial responsibility 

as may be necessary or desirable. 

The regulations implementing these 

requirements are codified in 40 CFR 

parts 264 and 265. The collection of this 

information enables EPA to properly 

determine whether owners/operators or 

hazardous waste treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities meet the requirements 

of section 3004(a) of RCRA. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 324 

hours per respondent, and the annual 

public recordkeeping burden for this 

collection of information is estimated to 

average 88 hours per respondent. 

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: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are business and other for-profit, 

as well as State, Local, and Tribal 

governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,403. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

578,381. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$38,057,653 including $37,384,641 

annualized labor costs and $673,012 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 73,931 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This reduction is due to an 

estimated decrease in the respondent 

universe of 128.

EPA Launches NetDMR 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Clean Water Act Discharge 

Monitoring Reports (DMRs) represent 

the highest volume of information 

collection undertaken by the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA). EPA Regions and select States, 

Tribes, and Territories will have a new 

tool available to assist their regulated 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) facilities 

in reporting DMRs beginning June 22, 

2009. Additional States, Tribes, and 

Territories may adopt Network 

Discharge Monitoring Report (NetDMR) 

and enable their regulated NPDES 

facilities to begin utilizing the electronic 

reporting tool. NetDMR provides an 

30076 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 24, 2009 / Notices 

Internet-based reporting tool for NPDES 

facilities to electronically sign and 

submit DMRs. NetDMR allows 

participants to discontinue mailing in 

hard copy forms under 40 CFR 122.41 

and 403.12. 

DATES: The NetDMR application is 

available beginning June 22, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

What Action Is EPA Taking? 

A. Background 

NetDMR will, for the first time, 

provide a national tool for regulated 

Clean Water Act permittees to submit 

and sign Discharge Monitoring Reports 

(DMRs) electronically via a secure 

Internet application to U.S EPA through 

the Environmental Information 

Exchange Network. The transition from 

paper to electronic reporting 

significantly reduces the burden on 

States, Tribes, Territories, and the 

regulated community. NetDMR is 

consistent with the standards in the 

Cross-Media Electronic Reporting 

Regulation (CROMERR) § 3.2000, 

including the § 3.2000(b)(5) standards 

for electronic signatures and identifyproofing for ‘‘priority reports.’’ An 

essential component of NetDMR is the 

exchange of data with EPA’s Integrated 

Compliance Information System, which 

allows permittees to complete a DMR 

that is specific to their permit limits and 

outfalls. 

B. Today’s Action 

On June 22, 2009, EPA Region 1 (New 

Hampshire and Massachusetts), EPA 

Region 3 (District of Columbia), EPA 

Region 6 (Gulf of Mexico), Utah and 

Louisiana will begin utilizing NetDMR. 

C. How Can I Get Other Related 

Information?
