This

of
a
currently
approved

Abstract:
Large
quantity
generators
of
hazardous
waste
and
owners/
operators
of
hazardous
waste
facilities
must
complete,
under
the
authority
of
RCRA
sections
3002
and
3004,
a
report
every
other
year
on
the
amount
of
waste
they
generate
and
how
it
was
managed.
EPA
uses
the
information
to
understand
waste
management
practices,
to
expand
its
database
of
information
for
rulemakings,
and
to
monitor
compliance
with
regulatory
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
numbers
for
EPA's
regulations
are
listed

all
of
the

received
on
the
June
Notice,
including
a
comment
from
the
Tribal

TASWER
asked
that
a
data

be
added
to
the
Biennial
Report
that
would
identify
RCRA
facilities
on
or
adjacent
to
Indian
Country
and
Alaska
Native

We
have
begun
discussions

a
discussion
of
all
of
the
information

requirements
associated

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

included
in
this
ICR
are:
Tank
Systems,
Surface
