Facilities and Practices, Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to 
submit an information collection request (ICR), Criteria for 
Classification of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities and Practices, 
Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements--40 CFR part 257, subpart B 
(EPA ICR No. 1745.08, 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) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 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 
September 30, 2015. 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 August 14, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
RCRA-2015-0278, online using http://www.regulations.gov (our preferred 
method), by email to rcra-docket@epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket 
Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information 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: In order to effectively implement and enforce final 
changes to 40 CFR part 257--Subpart B on a State level, owners/
operators of construction and demolition waste landfills that receive 
CESQG hazardous wastes will have to comply with the final reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements. 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 number for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 
CFR chapter 15. This continuing ICR documents the recordkeeping and 
reporting burdens associated with the location and ground-water 
monitoring provisions contained in 40 CFR part 257--Subpart B.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are States.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under Section 4010(c) 
and 3001(d)(4) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 
1976.
    Estimated number of respondents: 152 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 11,215 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost (in thousands of dollars): $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: June 1, 2015.

Director, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery.
