Comment Request; Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste Disposal 
Facilities and Practices, Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements 
(Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to 
submit the information collection request (ICR), Criteria for 
Classification of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities and Practices, 
Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements (Renewal), (EPA ICR No. 
1745.09, OMB Control No. 2050-0154) to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA). Before doing so, the EPA is soliciting public 
comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as 
described below. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is 
currently approved through November 30, 2018. 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before October 2, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OLEM-2018-0317, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred 
method), by email to [email protected], or by mail to: EPA Docket 
Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 
Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the 
public docket without change including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information 
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Dufficy, Materials Recovery and 
Waste Management Division, Office of Resource Conservation and 
Recovery, mailcode 5304P, Environmental Protection Agency, 1200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the 
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone 
number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the EPA is soliciting 
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. The 
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. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal 
Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the 
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: 40 Part 257 Subpart B established specific standards and 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for owners and operators of 
new, existing, and lateral expansions of existing non-municipal non-
hazardous waste disposal units that receive conditionally exempt small 
quantity generator (CESQG) hazardous wastes. In order to effectively 
implement and enforce 40 CFR part 257 Subpart B on a State level, 
owners/operators of construction and demolition waste landfills that 
receive CESQG hazardous wastes have to comply with the reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are States.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: mandatory (40 CFR 257).
    Estimated number of respondents: 152.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 11,215. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 
1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,577,659 which includes $936,491 annualized 
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay 
substantially the same.

    Dated: July 16, 2018.

Director, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery.
