Requirements, and Special Waste Processes and Types (EPA ICR Number 
1572.13, OMB Control Number 2050-0050) to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork

for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, 
including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may

collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before December 9, 
2022.

    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, 
and Recovery/recycling.
    With each information collection covered in this ICR, the 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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are private sector and State, Local, or Tribal governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 261, 264, 
265, and 266).
    Estimated number of respondents: 919.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 377,427 hours per year. Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $23,872,105 (per year), which includes 
$1,733,951 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 21,122 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is due to an increase of the Subpart AA 
and BB units.
