Title
and
Number
of
the
Information
Collection
This
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)
is
entitled
"
Hazardous
Waste
Listing
for
Organic
Dyes
and/
or
Pigments
Production
Wastes,"
EPA
ICR
Number
1189.15.

1(

Short
Characterization
The
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
is
listing
nonwastewaters
from
the
production
of
certain
organic
dyes,
pigments,
and
food,
drug,
and
cosmetic
(
FD&
C)
colorants1
as
hazardous
wastes
under
the
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
(
RCRA),
as
amended.
RCRA
directs
EPA
to
determine
whether
these
wastes
present
a
hazard
to
human
health
and
the
environment.
Listed
hazardous
wastes
are
subject
to
stringent
management
and
treatment
standards
under
Subtitle
C
of
RCRA.

EPA
is
promulgating
a
mass
loadings­
based
hazardous
waste
listing
(
i.
e.,
K181)
for
certain
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
manufacturing
wastes
in
40
CFR
section
261.32.
Under
this
listing
approach,
these
wastes
are
hazardous
if
they
contain
any
of
seven
specific
constituents
of
concern
(
CoCs)
at
annual
mass
loading
levels
that
meet
or
exceed
the
specified
regulatory
levels.
2
If
generators
determine
that
their
wastes
are
below
regulatory
levels
for
all
CoCs,
then
their
wastes
are
nonhazardous.
If
their
wastes
meet
or
exceed
the
regulatory
levels
for
any
of
the
CoCs,
the
wastes
must
be
managed
as
K181
hazardous
wastes
unless
they
are:
(
i)
disposed
in
a
Subtitle
D
landfill
unit
subject
to
the
design
criteria
in
§
258.40,
(
ii)
disposed
in
a
Subtitle
C
landfill
unit
subject
to
either
§
264.301
or
§
265.301,
(
iii)
disposed
in
other
Subtitle
D
landfill
units
that
meet
the
design
criteria
in
§
258.40,
§
264.301,
or
§
265.301,
or
(
iv)
treated
in
a
combustion
unit
that
is
permitted
under
Subtitle
C,
or
an
onsite
combustion
unit
that
is
permitted
under
the
Clean
Air
Act.

The
final
rule
also
adds
the
toxic
constituents
o­
anisidine,
p­
cresidine,
2,4­
dimethylaniline,
1,2­
phenylenediamine,
and
1,3­
phenylenediamine
associated
with
these
identified
wastes
to
the
list
of
constituents
that
serves
as
the
basis
for
classifying
wastes
as
hazardous
(
40
CFR
Part
261,
Appendix
VIII).
In
addition,
the
final
rule
adds
o­
anisidine,
p­
cresidine,
2,4­
dimethylaniline,
and
1,3­
phenylenediamine
to
the
treatment
standards
applicable
to
F039
landfill
leachate
and
the
Universal
Treatment
Standards
(
UTS)
listed
at
§
268.48.

In
Sections
1
through
5
of
this
ICR,
EPA
presents
a
comprehensive
description
of
the
new
information
collection
requirements
resulting
from
the
listing
of
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters.
In
Section
6,
EPA
estimates
the
total
annual
hour
and
cost
burden
to
respondents
(
i.
e.,
affected
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
facilities)
associated
with
these
new
paperwork
requirements.
In
addition,
EPA
estimates
in
Section
6(
d)
the
total
annual
hour
and
costs
to
generators
and
subsequent
handlers
of
these
nonwastewaters
in
complying
with
existing
RCRA
information
collection
requirements
that
apply
to
newly
listed
hazardous
wastes.

In
the
following
paragraphs,
EPA
briefly
describes
the
new
information
collection
requirements
in
the
final
rule.

(
1)
Procedures
for
Demonstrating
that
Organic
Dyes
and/
or
Pigments
Production
Nonwastewaters
Are
Not
K181
Under
§
261.32,
EPA
is
establishing
a
mass
loadings­
based
listing
for
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters,
such
that
generators
of
these
wastes
have
the
option
of
demonstrating
that
their
specific
wastes
are
not
K181
because
they
do
not
meet
or
exceed
the
annual
mass
loadings
identified
in
§
261.32(
c).
To
make
this
demonstration,
generators
must
follow
the
procedures
under
§
261.32(
d).

Under
§
261.32(
d)(
1),
generators
that
have
knowledge
that
their
waste
contains
none
of
the
K181
constituents
identified
in
section
261.32(
c)
can
use
their
knowledge
to
determine
that
their
waste
is
not
K181.
Generators
must
keep
documentation
supporting
this
annual
determination
on
site
for
three
years.

Under
§
261.32(
d)(
2),
generators
can
use
knowledge
of
their
waste
to
conclude
that
mass
loadings
for
the
K181
constituents
are
below
the
listing
levels,
if
the
total
annual
generation
quantity
of
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
is
1,000
metric
tons
or
less.
To
make
this
determination,
generators
must
document
that
the
annual
quantity
of
nonwastewaters
expected
to
be
generated
is
less
than
1,000
metric
tons,
track
the
actual
quantity
of
nonwastewaters
generated
over
the
course
of
the
calendar
year,
keep
a
running
total
of
the
K181
constituent
mass
loadings
over
the
course
of
the
calendar
year,
and
keep
specified
records
on
site
for
three
years.

Under
§
261.32(
d)(
3),
generators
with
a
total
annual
generation
quantity
of
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
greater
than
1,000
metric
tons
are
required
to
comply
with
the
testing
requirements
to
make
a
determination
that
their
wastes
are
not
K181.
These
generators
must
develop
and
follow
a
waste
sampling
and
analysis
plan
(
or
modify
an
existing
plan)
to
collect
and
analyze
representative
waste
samples
for
the
K181
constituents
reasonably
expected
to
be
present
in
the
wastes
based
on
knowledge
of
the
wastes.
In
addition,
generators
must
record
the
analytical
results,
record
the
waste
quantity
represented
by
the
sampling
and
analysis
results,
calculate
constituent­
specific
mass
loadings,
keep
a
running
total
of
the
K181
constituent
mass
loadings
over
the
course
of
the
calendar
year,
and
determine
whether
3
the
mass
of
any
of
the
K181
constituents
is
below
the
K181
listing
levels.
Generators
must
keep
specified
documentation
on
site
for
three
years.

(
2)
Recordkeeping
Demonstrations
for
Use
of
Appropriate
Landfills
and
Combustion
Units
Under
the
§
261.32(
d)(
4)
landfill
disposal
and
combustion
exemptions,
generators
must
maintain
on
site
for
three
years
documentation
demonstrating
that
each
shipment
of
waste
was
received
by
a
landfill
unit
subject
to
or
meets
the
landfill
design
standards
set
out
in
the
listing
description,
or
was
treated
in
a
combustion
unit
as
specified
in
the
listing
description.

by
the
Hazardous
and
Solid
Waste
Amendments
of
1984
(
HSWA).
Section
3001(
e)(
2)
directs
EPA
to
make
a
determination
of
whether
or
not
to
list,
under
Section
3001(
b)(
1),
wastes
from
the
production
of
dyes
and
pigments,
among
other
wastes.
Under
this
authority,
EPA
has
examined
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
wastes
(
e.
g.,
using
risk
assessment
tools),
identified
CoCs
and
their
potential
risks,
and
established
a
"
loadings­
based"
approach
that
would
qualify
the
waste
as
hazardous
under
RCRA.
Under
Sections
2002(
a)
and
3007(
a)
of
RCRA,
EPA
is
establishing
information
collection
requirements
that
are
needed
to
ensure
that
the
listed
wastes
are
properly
managed
and
disposed
of.

In
addition,
the
final
rule
satisfies
EPA's
duty
under
a
Consent
Decree
between
EPA
and
the
Environmental
Defense
(
formerly
Environmental
Defense
Fund
(
EDF)).
Under
this
Consent
Decree,
the
Agency
is
required
to
"
promulgate
final
listing
determinations
for
azo/
benzidine,
anthraquinone,
and
triarylmethane
dye
and
pigment
production
wastes
on
or
before
February
16,
2005...
These
listing
determinations
shall
be
proposed
for
public
comment
on
or
before
November
10,
2003."

2(
b)
Practical
Utility
and
Users
of
the
Data
Under
the
final
rule,
the
mass
loadings­
based
listing
is
self­
implementing,
which
means
that
no
prior
governmental
review
or
approval
is
needed
for
the
waste
to
be
claimed
as
nonhazardous.
Because
of
this,
EPA
believes
that
the
recordkeeping
requirements
in
the
final
rule
are
needed
to
ensure
that
generators
characterize
their
wastes
accurately
and
reliably,
and
keep
records
of
the
claims
on
site.

EPA
believes
the
mass
loadings­
based
approach
allows
generators
to
evaluate
the
variable
wastes
they
generate
individually
for
hazard,
so
only
wastes
that
are
hazardous
are
listed.

result,
there
should
be
less
burden
on
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
manufacturers
than
would
be
imposed
by
a
traditional
listing
that
would
bring
entire
wastes
into
the
hazardous
waste
system,
regardless
of
the
characteristics
of
wastes
generated
by
individual
generators.
EPA
believes
the
mass
loadings­
based
approach
is
more
protective
of
the
environment
than
a
concentration­
based
listing
because
concentrations
can
be
modified
(
e.
g.,
dilution)
to
the
point
that
a
waste
might
pass
the
listing
criteria,
yet
still
contain
sufficient
mass
to
pose
a
risk
to
human
health
or
the
environment.
Finally,
a
mass
loadings­
based
listing
approach
may
provide
an
incentive
for
hazardous
waste
generating
facilities
to
modify
their
processes
to
reduce
the
use
or
minimize
the
release
of
toxic
CoCs.

NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
Nonduplication
None
of
the
new
information
required
by
the
final
rule
is
duplicative
with
any
information
required
by
the
existing
RCRA

Public
Notice
In
compliance
with
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995,
EPA
issued
a
public
notice
in
the
Federal
Register
on
November
25,
2003
(
68
FR
66164)
proposing
a
mass
loadings­
based
approach
for
listing
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
as
hazardous
wastes
under
RCRA.
EPA
received
25
comments
on
the
proposed
rule
in
response
to
the
notice.
EPA
reviewed
and
addressed
these
public
comments
in
preparing
the
final
rule
and
background
documents,
including
this
ICR.

In
addition,
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
received
"
initial
comments"
from
the
Color
Pigments
Manufacturers
Association
(
CPMA)
on
the
ICR
developed
for
the
proposed
rule.
These
comments
raised,
in
very
general
terms,
issues
associated
with
waste
characterization
and
analytical
costs.
EPA
addressed
CPMA's
"
initial
comments"
in
the
Response
to
Public
Comments
Document3.
CPMA
also
indicated
its
intention
to
provide
much
more
detailed
comments
on
the
ICR;
as
of
this
date,
EPA
has
not
received
any
additional
comments
from
CPMA
in
this
respect.

3(
c)
Consultations
EPA
has
made
a
number
of
efforts
to
consult
with
its
stakeholders
in
developing
the
rule.
In
1992,
EPA
distributed
a
detailed
RCRA
Section

survey
to
organic
dyes
and/
or

manufacturing
facilities
in
support
of
a
1994
proposed
listings
rule.
The
questionnaire
collected
information
on
the
management
of
the
wastes
generated
by
each
facility,
including
waste
quantity
and
how
the
wastes
were
managed
and
disposed
of.
In
addition,
EPA
contacted
companies
generating
the
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
wastes
to
update
the
information
in
the
1992
survey.
The
updated
information
EPA
collected
includes
the
quantities
of
waste
generated
(
for
the
year
1997),
and
the
waste
management
practices
used
by
the
facilities
for
each
of
the
wastes.

In
2002,
EPA
contacted
nine
State
agencies
to
learn
about
the
existing
status
of
on­
site
land
disposal
units
located
at
potential
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
facilities
in
those
States.
4
None
of
the
State
contacts
identified
any
facilities
with
active
on­
site
land
disposal
units
of
concern,
with
the
exception
of
a
single
facility
slated
for
closure
that
was
described
as
operating
surface
impoundments
equipped
with
double
high
density
polyethylene
(
HDPE)
liners.
EPA
also
met
with
the
three
primary
trade
associations
 
Color
Pigments
Manufacturers
Association
(
CPMA),
Ecological
and
Toxicological
Association
of
Dyes
and
Organic
Pigments
Manufacturers
(
ETAD),
and
International
Association
of
Color
Manufacturers
(
IACM)
 
in
December
of
2002.5
The
trade
associations
reviewed
the
Agency's
compilation
of
available
information
regarding
on­
site
waste
management
practices
at
known
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
facilities.
Both
CPMA
and
ETAD
collected
additional
information,
and
provided
input
on
the
status
of
those
identified
on­
site
waste
management
practices.

d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Under
the
final
rule,
generators
of
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
will
have
to
conduct
nonhazardous
determinations
annually
to
verify
that
the
wastes
remain
nonhazardous.
For
facilities
that
generate
1,000
metric
tons
or
less
per
year,
this
determination
will
be
based
on
knowledge
of
their
wastes.
For
facilities
that
generate
more
than
1,000
metric
tons
per
year,
this
determination
will
be
based
on
waste
sampling
and
analysis.
These
annual
testing
requirements
will
be
suspended
if
the
wastes
remain
nonhazardous
for
three
consecutive
years
of
testing.
However,
if
the
manufacturing
or
waste
treatment
processes
generating
the
wastes
are
significantly
altered,
the
annual
testing
requirements
will
be
reinstated.

EPA
has
carefully
considered
the
information
collection
burden
imposed
upon
the
regulated
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
community
by
the
final
rule.
EPA
is
confident
that
those
activities
required
of
respondents
are
necessary,
and
to
the
extent
possible,
the
Agency
has
attempted
to
minimize
the
burden
imposed.
EPA
believes
strongly
that,
if
the
minimum
information
collection
requirements
of
the
final
rule
are
not
met,
neither
the
generators
nor
EPA
can
ensure
that
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
are
being
properly
managed,
and
do
not
pose
a
serious
threat
to
human
health
and
the
environment.

Agency
Activities
There
are
no
Agency
activities

with
the

requirements
for
generators
of
organic

and/

12
5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
All
of
the
information
collected
under
the
listing
will
be
maintained
at
the
generator's
facility.
There
are
no
Agency
collection
activities
associated
with
the
new
requirements
for
generators
of
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
The
final
rule
includes
a
mass
loadings­
based
listing
for
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
that
allows
generators
to
determine
whether
their
waste
is
nonhazardous
under
the
listing.
Thus,
although
the
final
rule
adds
the
K181
wastes
to
the
hazardous
waste
listings,
the
rule
provides
flexibility
to
both
large
and
small
generators
to
determine
whether
they
can
manage
their
waste
as
nonhazardous,
as
specified.
If
a
small
entity's
waste
does
qualify
as
hazardous
under
the
listings,
the
small
entity
may
be
eligible
for
complying
with
the
small
quantity
generator
standards,
which
impose
fewer
paperwork
requirements
than
the
standards
for
large
quantity
generators.

5(
d)
Collection
Schedule
Under
the
final
rule,
generators
of
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
will
have
to
conduct
nonhazardous
determinations
annually
to
verify
that
the
wastes
remain
nonhazardous.
For
facilities
that
generate
1,000
metric
tons
or
less
per
year,
this
determination
will
be
based
on
knowledge
of
their
wastes.
For
facilities
that
generate
more
than
1,000
metric
tons
per
year,
this
determination
will
be
based
on
waste
sampling
and
analysis.
These
annual
testing
requirements
will
be
suspended
if
the
wastes
remain
nonhazardous
for
three
consecutive
years
of
testing.
However,
if
the
manufacturing
or
waste
treatment
process
generating
the
wastes
are
significantly
altered,
the
annual
testing
requirements
will
be
reinstated.
EPA
believes
such
a
schedule
will
ensure
that
generators
take
measures
to
determine
whether
their
wastes
qualify
for
the
nonhazardous
claim.

Labor
Costs
For
purposes
of
this
analysis,
EPA
estimates
an
average
hourly
respondent
labor
rate
(
including
fringe
and
overhead)
of
$
115.74
for
legal
staff,
$
90.78

Universe
and
Total
Hour
and

In
this
section,
EPA
first
describes
the
respondent
universe
affected
by
the
new
information
collection
requirements
resulting
from
the
listing
of
organic
dyes
and/

pigments
production
nonwastewaters
as

wastes.
EPA
then
estimates
the
annual
aggregate
burden
to
respondents
under
the
final
rule
and
existing
RCRA
information
collection
requirements.

The
universe
estimates
and
assumptions
used
in
the
development
of
this
ICR
are
based
on
the
economic
assessment
developed
for
this

It
shows
that
EPA
expects
a
total
of
33
facilities
to
generate
organic
dyes
and/

nonwastewaters
each
year.
Of
these
facilities,
EPA
estimates
that
two
will
generate
nonwastewaters
that
contain
none
of

and
that

associated
with
all
of
the
new

requirements
under
the

in
Exhibit

A
discussion
of
the
assumptions
used
in
developing
these
burden
estimates
follows.

(
a)
Reading
the
Regulations
EPA
estimates
that
33
respondents
will
be
subject
to
the
new
paperwork
requirements
under
the
final
rule.
EPA
assumes
that
all
these
respondents
will
read
the
preamble
to
the
rule
and
the
regulations
each
year.

K181
(
b1)
Determination
Based
on
No
K181
Constituents
16
EPA
estimates
that
two
respondents
will
use
knowledge
of
their
wastes
to
determine
that
their
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
do
not
contain
any
of
the
K181
CoCs
identified
in
§
261.32(
c).
These
respondents
will
keep
documentation
on
site
for
three
years
supporting
their
determination
that
the
nonwastewaters
are
nonhazardous.

(
b2)
Determination
For
Generated
Quantities
Less
Than
1,000
MT/
yr
for
Wastes
That
Contain
K181
Constituents
EPA
estimates
that,
each
year,
22
facilities
will
generate
1,000
metric
tons
or
less
of
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
containing
K181
CoCs.
These
22
facilities
are
expected
to
follow
the
procedures
under
§
261.32(
d)(
2)
to
determine
whether
or
not
their
wastes
exceed
the
mass
loading
levels
in
the
listing.

To
support
their
determination,
facilities
will
need
to
estimate
how
much
waste
they
expect
to
generate
each
year,
track
the
actual
quantity
of
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
generated
over
the
course
of
the
year,
keep
a
running
total
of
the
K181
constituent
mass
loadings
over
the
course
of
the
year,
and
keep
supporting
documentation
on
site
for
three
years,
as
specified.

(
b3)
Determination
For
Generated
Quantities
Greater
Than
1,000
MT/
Yr
for
Wastes
That
Contain
K181
Constituents
EPA
estimates
that,
each
year,
nine
facilities
will
generate
more
than
1,000
metric
tons
of
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
containing
K181
CoCs.
Of
these
nine
facilities,
eight
are
expected
to
follow
the
procedures
under
§
261.32(
d)(
3)
to
determine
whether
or
not
their
wastes
exceed
the
mass
loading
levels
in
the
listing.
EPA
assumes
that
the
remaining
facility
will
continue
to
burn
its
nonwastewaters
with
high
organic
content
in
onsite
boilers
for
energy
recovery.

To
support
their
determination,
eight
of
the
nine
facilities
will
need
to
identify
target
K181
CoCs
(
based
on
knowledge
of
their
wastes
or
testing),
develop
and
follow
a
waste
sampling
and
analysis
plan,
calculate
mass
loadings
based
on
analytical
results,
determine
whether
the
annual
mass
loadings
are
below
the
K181
listing
levels,
and
keep
supporting
documentation
on
site
for
three
years,
as
specified.

EPA
conservatively
assumes
that
the
annual
testing
requirements
will
be
suspended
for
none
of
the
facilities
during
the
three­
year
period
covered
by
this
ICR.

Table

presents
a
summary
of
EPA's
assumptions
regarding
the
waste
management
practices
of
the
31
potentially
impacted
facilities
expected
to
generate
organic
dyes
and/
or
17
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
containing
K181
CoCs.
As
shown
in
the
table,
EPA
estimates
that,
30
of
the
31
facilities
may
likely
send
their
in­
scope
nonwastewaters
to
landfill
units
that
meet
the
design
criteria
of
§
258.40,
§
264.301
or
§
265.301
if
annual
mass
loadings
for
the
K181
CoCs
meet
or
exceed
one
or
more
of
the
respective
listing
levels.
As
such,
these
wastes
are
conditionally
exempt
from
the
K181
listing.
The
remaining
facility
may
continue
to
burn
its
waste
with
high
organic
content
in
onsite
boilers
permitted
by
the
State
under
the
Clean
Air
Act
for
energy
recovery;
this
waste
is
also
exempt
from
the
K181
listing,
and
the
resultant
ash
may
thus
be
managed
as
nonhazardous.
These
facilities
must
maintain
documentation
demonstrating
that
each
shipment
of
waste
was
received
by
a
landfill
unit
subject
to
the
landfill
design
standards
set
out
in
the
listing
description,
or
was
treated
in
a
combustion
unit
as
specified
in
the

This

for
a

of
three
years.

Reasons
for
Change
In
Burden
In
establishing
the
K181
listing,
EPA
added
some
new
information
collection
requirements
to
ensure
that
the
wastes
are
managed
and
disposed
of
in
a
manner
that
is
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.
The
listing
also
will
subject
the
newly
listed
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
to
the
existing
RCRA
information
collection
requirements
and,
as
such,
reflect
an
adjustment
in
the
respondent
universe
for
these
requirements
in
the
eight
affected
EPA
ICRs.

6(
g)
Public
Burden
Statement
There
is
no
public
reporting
burden
from
the
new
information
collection
requirements
in
the
final
rule.
The
hourly
recordkeeping
burden
from
the
new
requirements
ranges
between
6.5
and
20.40
hours
per
respondent
per
year.
This
burden
includes
time
for
reading
the
regulations,
determining
whether
organic
dyes
and/
or
pigments
production
nonwastewaters
exceed
regulatory
listing
levels,
and
keeping
documentation
on
site,
as
specified.

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;
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.

To
comment
on
the
Agency's
need
for
this
information,
the
accuracy
of
the
provided
burden
estimates,
and
any
suggested
methods
for
minimizing
respondent
burden,
including
the
use
of
automated
collection
techniques,
