This
is
a
request
for
extension
of
a
currently
approved
collection.
Abstract:
This
ICR
provides
a
discussion
of
all
of
the
information
collection
requirements
associated
with
specific
unit
standards
applicable
to
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
that
treat,
store,
or
dispose
of
hazardous
wastes
as
defined
by
40
CFR
part
261.
It
includes
a
detailed
description
of
the
data
items
and
respondent
activities
associated
with
each
requirement
and
with
each
hazardous
waste
management
unit
at
a
facility.
The
specific
units
and
processes
included
in
this
ICR
are:
Tank
Systems,
Surface
Impoundments,
Waste
Piles,
Land
Treatment,
Landfills,
Incinerators,
Thermal
Treatment,
Chemical/
Physical,
and
Biological
Treatment,
Miscellaneous
(
subpart
X),
Drip
Pads,
Process
Vents,
Equipment
Leaks,
Containment
Buildings,
Recovery/
Recycling.
With
each
information
collection
covered
in
this
ICR,
EPA
is
aiding
the
goal
of
complying
with
its
statutory
mandate
under
RCRA
to
develop
standards
for
hazardous
waste
treatment,
storage,
and
disposal
facilities,
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment.
Without
the
information
collection,
the
agency
cannot
assure
that
the
facilities
are
designed
and
operated
properly.
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
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
Chapter
15.
