Section
6(

1)
of
the
Toxic
Substances
Control
Act
(
TSCA),
15
USC
2605(
e),
directs
EPA
to
regulate
the
marking
and
disposal
of
PCBs.
Section
6(
e)(
2)
bans
the
manufacturing,
processing,
distribution
in
commerce,
and
use
of
PCBs
in
other
than
a
totally
enclosed
manner.
Section
6(
e)(
3)
establishes
a
process
for
obtaining
an
exemption
from
the
prohibitions
on
the
manufacture,
processing,
and
distribution
in
commerce
of
PCBs.
This
provision
requires
that
EPA
must
make
a
finding
by
rule
that
such
activities
will
not
present
an
unreasonable
risk
of
injury
to
health
or
the
environment.
In
addition,
good
faith
efforts
must
have
been
made
by
the
petitioner
to
develop
a
chemical
substance
that
does
not
present
an
unreasonable
risk
to
replace
the
PCBs.
Exemptions
may
be
granted
for
a
period
not
to
exceed
one
year.
Since
1978,
EPA
has
promulgated
numerous
rules
addressing
all
aspects
of
the
life
cycle
of
PCBs
as
required
by
the
statute.

These
regulations
have
been
codified
in
the
various
subparts
of
40
CFR
761,
as
shown
in
Table
1­

Appendix
A
contains
a

of
the
statute
and

#
Maintaining
records
associated
with
the
transfer,
storage,
and
disposal
of
PCBs
and
PCB
equipment;
the
processing
and
distribution
in
commerce
of
PCBs;
and
the
decontamination
of
PCB
Items.

Information
required
by
these
regulations
is
used
by
EPA's
Regional
Administrators,
the
Office
of
Enforcement
and
Compliance
Assurance
(
OECA),
or
the
Office
of
Pollution
Prevention
and
Toxic
Substances
(
OPPTS),
as
appropriate.
Much
of
the
information
is
maintained
as
part
of
the
public
docket.

Confidential
business
information
(
CBI)
submitted
to
EPA
to
qualify
for
the
chemic
al
manufacturing
exclusions
is
maintained
by
OPPTS
in
the
CBI
docket.
Data
collected
under
the
transformer
registration
program
ultimately
will
be
provided
to
the
EPA
Regional
Offices
and
other
environmental
offices,
on
an
as
requested
basis
(
e.
g.,
State
environmental
agencies,
fire
response
personnel,
etc.),
and
it
will
be
accessible
on­
line,
as
well.

All
of
the
information
collection
activities
associated
with
the
final
PCB
regulations
found
at
40
CFR
761
have
been
approved
by
OMB.
The
total
hourly
and
cost
burdens
associated
with
the
requirements
discussed
in
this
consolidated
ICR
include
time
needed
to
conduct
the
following
tasks:

#
Review
regulations
and
determine
their
applicability.

#
Develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technologies
for
managing
information
collection,
validation,
disclosure,
and
maintenance.

#
Train
personnel
for
responding
to
information
collection
requirements.

#
Search
data
sources.

#
Collect
and
review
required
information.

#
Transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.

EPA
will
use
the
information
collected
by
the
40
CFR
761
requirements
to
ensure
PCBs
are
managed
in
an
environmentally
safe
manner
and
that
activities
are
being
conducted
in
compliance
with
the
PCB
regulations.
Specific
uses
of
the
information
collected
include
determining
the
efficacy
of
a
disposal
technology;
evaluating
exemption
requests
and
exclusion
notices;
targeting
compliance
inspections
(
e.
g.,

determining
if
operational
criteria
for
disposal
facilities
are
being
met);
and
ensuring
adequate
storage
capacity
for
PCB
waste.

NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
this
consolidated
ICR
are
implemented
under
the
TSCA
authorities
15
USC
2605
section
6(
e).
To
meet
its
statutory
obligations,
EPA
must
obtain
sufficient
information
to
conclude
that
the
specified
activities
do
not
result
in
an
unreasonable
risk
of
injury
to
health
or
the
environment.
The
regulations
are
intended
to
prevent
the
improper
handling
and
disposal
of
PCBs
and
to
minimize
the
exposure
of
human
beings
or
the
environment
to
PCBs.

To
assist
EPA
in
achieving
these
goals,
the
information
collected
by
these
requirements
will
update
the
Agency's
knowledge
of
ongoing
PCB
activities,
ensure
that
individuals
using
or
disposing
of
PCBs
are
held
accountable
for
their
activities,
and
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
PCB
regulations.
Tables
2­
1,
2­
2,

and
2­
3
(
located
at
the
end
of
this
section)
provide
specific
regulatory
citations
for
each
reporting,
third­
party
reporting,
and
recordkeeping
requirement,
respectively,
as
well
as
the
use
for
each
requirement,
which
is
provided
in
response
to
Section
2(
b)
of
this
report.
Item
numbers
and
EPA
ICR
numbers
in
the
first
column
of
the
tables
are
included
for
ease
of
reference
to
the
numerous
requirements
and
are
carried
through
to
other
sections
and
tables
throughout
this
document.

There
are,
however,
certain
PCB
requirements
that
are
exempt
from
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
(
PRA).
In
defining
"
collection
of
information,"
OMB's
PRA
regulations
explicitly
exempt
public
disclosures
where
all
the
information
required
to
be
displayed
is
supplied
by
the
government.
The
last
sentence
of
5
CFR
1320.3(
c)(
2)
states,
"
The
public
disclosure
of
information
originally
supplied
by
the
Federal
Government
to
the
recipient
for
the
purpose
of
disclosure
to
the
public
is
not
included
within
this
definition"
(
emphasis
added).
This
exemption
is
reflected
in
OMB's
February
3,
1997
draft,
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995:
Implementing
Guidance,
p.
20,
n.
88
(
giving
the
example
of
cigarettes
displaying
the
specified
Surgeon
General's
warning).

EPA's
PCB
marking
requirements
at
§
§
761.40
and
.45
supply
all
the
information
required
by
EPA
to
be
displayed
on
items
containing
PCBs,
except
for
§
§
761.45(
a)
and
.40(
j)(
2).
All
the
information
required
to
be
disclosed
for
compliance
with
these
two
provisions
is
not
provided
by
EPA,
however,
the
requirements
do
not
negate
the
above
conclusion.
2­
2
For
§
761.45(
a),
the
mark
prompts
the
recipient
to
add
information
identifying
the
name
and
telephone
number
of
a
person
to
contact
beyond
the
contact
information
already
supplied
by
EPA's
mark
itself.
(
The
mark
gives
an
emergency
800
number
at
the
U.
S.
Coast
Guard
in
case
of
accidents
or
spills,
and
states,
"
for
disposal
information
contact
the
nearest
U.
S.
EPA
office.")
However,
OMB's
PRA
regulations
state
at
5
CFR
1320.3(
h)(
1)
that
the
definition
of
"
information"
does
not
generally
include
"
affidavits,
oaths,

affirmations,
certifications,
receipts,
changes
of
address,
consents,
or
acknowledgments;
provided
that
they
entail
no
burden
other
than
that
necessary
to
identify
the
respondent,
the
date,
the
respondent's
address,
and
the
nature
of
the
instrument."
According
to
OMB's
draft
PRA
Guidance
(
p.
24),
this
exemption
"
is
to
be
used
only
to
identify
an
individual
in
a
routine,
non­
intrusive,
non­
burdensome
way."
Thus,
requiring
the
recipient
to
display
merely
the
name
and
phone
number
of
a
contact
person
falls
outside
OMB's
definition
of
"
information"
and
therefore
does
not
require
OMB
approval
or
negate
the
exemption,
under
5
CFR
1320.3(
c)(
2),
for
the
PCB
marking
requirements.

The
second
exemption
is
that
§
761.40(
j)(
2)
allows
the
use
of
marks
other
than
that
prescribed
by
EPA
at
§
761.45
for
PCB
Transformers
(
provided,
among
other
things,
that
(
i)
those
marks
were
in
use
before
August
15,
1985,
(
ii)
before
August
15,
1985,
the
primary
fire
department
accepted
the
alternative
mark,
(
iii)
the
EPA
Regional
Administrator
(
RA)
was
informed
in
writing
of
the
alternative
mark
by
October
3,
1988,
and
(
iv)
the
EPA
RA
approved
the
alternative
mark
within
30
days
of
receipt).
This
exception
applies
only
to
the
discrete
universe
of
individuals
who
were
already
using
alternative
markings
before
August
15,
1985,
and
received
EPA's
approval
to
continue
using
it.
At
that
time,
the
PRA
did
not
apply
to
Agency
requirements
that
regulated
entities
disclose
information
to
third
parties
or
the
pubic
rather
than
to
the
Agency
itself,
Dole
v.
United
Steelworkers
of
America,
110
S.
Ct.
929,
938
(
1990),
such
as
a
requirement
to
display
a
marking
on
PCB
Transformers.

There
are
three
main
types
of
possible
violations
for
these
PCB
marking
requirements:
PCB
Transformers
with
(
1)
no
labels,
(
2)
unapproved
alternative
labels,
or
(
3)
inadequate
labels
with
missing
or
incorrect
information.
Those
persons
who
fail
to
use
any
mark
and
never
submitted
an
application
for
an
alternative,
and
those
persons
who
are
using
an
unapproved
alternative
mark,
cannot
assert
the
PRA
as
an
affirmative
defense,
because
they
are
required
to
use
the
mark
specified
in
§
761.45,
which,
according
to
5
CFR
1320.3(
c)(
2)
does
not
constitute
the
collection
of
information.

responsibility
for
regulating
the

of
PCBs
to
the
EPA
administrator.
All
of
the
information
requested
under

is
required
by
the
statute

the
implementing

at
40
CFR

and
is
not

The
information
collection
requirements
addressed
in
these
ICRs
are
not
duplicative
of
any
other
Federal

legislation.
No
other
Federal
agency
requires
respondents
to
report
or
maintain
information
on
the
manufacturing,

of
PCBs.

For
example,
the
notification
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
§
§
761.185,
.187,
and
.193
(
ICR
1001),
comprise
the
sole
source
of
information
EPA
relies
on
to
identify
the
manufacturing
sites
that
inadvertently
manufacture
PCBs,
for
example,
and
to
verify
that
the
members
who
have
certified
their
eligibility
for
the
exclusion
are
not
exceeding
the
prescribed
limits
on
PCB
releases.
Over
time,
reviewers
of
the
PCB

have
suggested
that
the
TSCA

are
duplicative
of
TSCA
inventory
Form
U

EPCRA
Tier

a
product's
PCB
concentration
(
§
§
761.185
and
.187);
that
RCRA,
CWA,
CAA,
and
CERCLA
could
be
used
by
EPA
to
address
air
and
water
emissions
and
process
waste
concerns
(
§
761.187);
and
that
EPCRA
reporting
requirements
could
be
used
by
EPA
to
identify
locations
of
PCB
Transformers
and
PCB
releases
(
§
§
761.30(
a)(
1)
and
.187).
However,
none
of
these
requirements
begin
to
address
the
concerns
that
are
being
tracked
under
the
TSCA
PCB
regulations.
For
example,
Customs
records
collect
information
on
importation
(
i.
e.,
chemical
products,
points
of
entry,
and
quantities,
not
products
with
de
minimis
levels
of
PCBs).
The
EPCRA
and
TSCA
inventory
reports
do
not
gather
information
at
the
levels
that
would
be
useful
under
the
PCB
regulations
(
i.
e.,
triggers
under
those
provisions
measure
releases
of
10,000
pounds
of
hazardous
substances
or
500
pounds
of
extremely
hazardous
substances
versus
the
TSCA
PCB
trigger
of
annual
emissions
exceeding
10
pounds).
Finally,
the
RCRA,
CWA,
CAA,
and
CERCLA
provisions
cannot
be
used
to
monitor
PCB
concentrations
in
consumer
products
or
to
prescribe
disposal
procedures
for
PCBs.

Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
In
proposing
to
renew
this
ICR,
EPA
provided
a
60­
day
public
notice
and
comment
period
that
ended
on
March
10,
2000
(
65
FR

2000).
EPA
received
no
comments
during
the
comment
period.

3(
c)
Consultations
On
numerous
occasions
during
the
course
of
regulating
PCBs,
the
Agency
has
consulted
with
the
regulated
community
and
the
public.
These
consultations
have
been
held
directly
with
industry
officials
and,

on
an
ongoing
basis,
with
owners
and
operators
of
regulated
facilities,
during
EPA
enforcement
activities
and
facility
inspections.
For
example,
when
developing
the
rules
pertaining
to
PCB
Transformer
use
(
ICR
1000),

EPA
consulted
with
the
Department
of
Agriculture,
U.
S.
Department
of
Health
and
Human
Services,
and
the
Small
Business
Administration.
To
obtain
information
on
the
numbers
of
transformers
subject
to
the
requirements,
EPA
consulted
with
the
Edison
Electric
Institute,
Equitable
Life
Assurance,
and
the
Building
Owners
and
Managers
Association.
As
a
result
of
the
promulgated
Electrical
Equipment
Use
Rule,
EPA
has
consulted
with
various
organizations
and
agencies
on
an
ongoing
basis.
EPA
also
meets
annually
with
representatives
from
more
than
50
utilities
and
electric
cooperatives
who
have
verified
the
burden
estimates
related
to
inspection
recordkeeping
requirements
for
PCB
Transformers.

For
the
Final
PCB
Disposal
Rule
promulgated
June
29,
1998
(
63
FR
35384),
covered
by
ICR
1729,

the
Agency
has
consulted
with
the
regulated
community
and
the
public
on
all
aspects
of
the
rulemaking.
In
addition,
informal
meetings
were
held
with
the
American
Gas
Association
(
AGA),
Interstate
Natural
Gas
Association
of
America
(
INGAA),
Utilities
Solid
Waste
Activities
Group
(
USWAG),
and
the
Environmental
Technology
Council
(
ETC).
Interagency
meetings
conducted
jointly
by
OMB
and
EPA
regarding
the
provisions
of
this
rule
were
attended
by
several
Federal
agencies,
including
the
Department
of
Defense
(
DOD),
the
Department
of
Energy
(
DOE),
the
Department
of
Transportation
(
DOT),
and
the
Tennessee
Valley
Authority
(
TVA).
3­

For
this
Consolidated
ICR,
a
small­
scale
data
gathering
effort
was
conducted
to
update
burdens,

costs,
and
numbers
of
respondents
for
the
information
collection
requirements
and
to
develop
estimates
for
activities
not
reflected
in
any
of
the
existing
ICRs.
Some
of
these
limited
surveys
were
conducted
only
for
those
requirements
for
which
a
basis
for
projecting
burdens
did
not
exist.
That
is,
data
were
not
gathered
for
items
that
are
similar
to
requirements
and
associated
estimates
already
contained
in
any
of
the
original
ICRs.

The
small­
scale
surveys
covered
nine
or
fewer
organizations,
associations,
or
individuals
per
unique
requirements.
The
responses
were
compiled
and
analyzed
to
ensure
that
the
data
were
reliable
and
representative
of
the
information
sources.
This
analysis
was
performed
within
the
context
of
the
limitations
mentioned
above.
It
is
noted
that
the
responses
regarding
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burdens
are
variable.

Appendix
E
contains
a
copy
of
the
Data
Gathering
Report
for
the
Consolidated
ICR
Supporting
Statement
Covering
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
761,
which
summarizes
the
findings
of
the
small­
scale
surveys,
suggests
estimates
for
revised
burdens,
costs,
and
number
of
respondents,
and
includes
a
complete
list
of
sources.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
EPA
has
judged
that
the
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
these
ICRs
are
the
minimum
amount
necessary
to
prevent
injury
to
health
and
the
environment.
These
requirements
ensure
adequate
oversight
by
EPA
over
the
use
of
PCBs
and
PCB
equipment
and
the
storage
and
disposal
of
PCB
wastes.

If
these
activities
were
conducted
less
frequently,
the
mismanagement
and
improper
storage
and
disposal
of
PCBs
would
likely
cause
subsequent
environmental
contamination.

There
are
several
examples
of
one­
time
PCB
information
collection
requirements.
One
example
is
the
notification
and
certifications
requirements
of
§
761.185
(
ICR
1001),
which
are
supported
by
relevant
sampling
data
or
by
theoretical
analysis.
Only
when
processes
are
modified
are
importers
and
manufacturers
required
to
renotify.
The
notification
requirements
regarding
installation
of
PCB
Transformers
in
emergency
situations,
and
for
owners
who
elect
not
to
install
enhanced
electrical
protection
on
lower
voltage
secondary
transformers
were
one­
time
notifications
that
were
to
be
completed
by
October
1,
1990.
Another
example
are
the
reports
on
total
PCB
releases
of
§
761.187
which
need
only
be
submitted
if
the
PCB
levels
in
the
products
exceed
the
specified
annual
average
of
25
ppm,
or
when
releases
to
air
and
water
exceed
the
regulatory
thresholds.
Also,
EPA
requires
one­
time
notifications
for
owners
to
register
their
PCB
3­
4
Transformers
(
see
EPA
Form
7720­
12,
PCB
Transformer
Registrations
at
Appendix
C)
and
for
individuals
to
notify
the
Agency
of
their
PCB
waste
handling
activities
(
see
EPA
Form
7710­
53,
Notification
of
PCB
Activity
at
Appendix
D);
both
notifications
can
be
accomplished
by
completing
a
simple
form,
although
use
of
the
form
is
optional
when
registering
PCB
Transformers.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
Most
of
the
information
requested
by
this
ICR
is
consistent
with
OMB's
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
Guidelines.
Some
exceptions
are
as
follows.

Under
the
information
collection
requirements
of
§
§
761.185
and
761.193
(
ICR
1001),
manufacturing
and
monitoring
records
that
document
PCB
levels
in
products
and
analyses
that
support
the
one­
time
notification
and
certification
of
compliance
for
the
process
must
be
retained
for
either
3
years
after
the
certified
process
ceases
operations
or
7
years,
whichever
is
shorter.
The
content
of
the
file
most
likely
would
not
change
over
the
7­
year
period,
so
the
burden
of
keeping
the
file
is
substantially
mitigated
by
its
limited
contents.
Likewise,
entities
that
monitor
for
actual
PCB
concentrations
in
the
products
they
manufacture,

use,
process,
distribute
in
commerce,
or
recycle
must
also
maintain
monitoring
data
records
under
§
761.193
for
either
a
3­
year
period
after
the
operation
ceases
or
up
to
7
years.
The
effect
of
this
provision
is
to
impose
an
equal
retention
period
for
sampling
data
on
all
those
who
deal
with
inadvertently
generated
PCBs
in
products,
whether
the
PCBs
result
from
excluded
manufacturing
processes
or
recycling.

To
comply
with
the
storage
and
disposal
requirements
of
Subpart
D
(
ICR
1446),
disposers
and
commercial
storers
must
retain
records
for
at
least
3
years
after
the
facility
is
no
longer
used
for
the
storage
or
disposal
of
PCB
wastes,
except
that
chemical
waste
landfills
must
maintain
records
for
at
least
20
years
after
the
facility
no
longer
accepts
PCB
wastes.
The
reason
for
requiring
records
retention
for
landfills
in
excess
of
3
years
is
that
a
leak
from
a
chemical
waste
landfill
could
take
years
to
develop
into
a
noticeable
environmental
problem.
Landfill
records
are
the
only
mechanism
to
accurately
trace
the
source
of
the
contamination.
Also,
certain
operational
records
maintained
by
the
owner/
operator
of
incineration
facilities
and
high
efficiency
boilers
must
be
retained
for
5
years
from
the
date
of
collection.
This
enables
facilities
to
demonstrate
to
enforcement
officials
that
the
facility
has
consistently
complied
with
relevant
technical
requirements
and
conditions
specified
in
the
disposal
permit.
3­
5
The
Final
Disposal
Amendments
Rule
(
ICR
1729)
contains
several
provisions
that
require
recordkeeping
for
5
years
or
more.
These
provisions
include
§
761.61(
a)(
9),
which
requires
the
notifications
and
remediation
site
cleanup
activity
documentation,
pursuant
§
§
761.61(
a)(
3),
(
4),
and
(
5),
to
be
maintained
for
5
years.
Section
761.61(
a)(
8)(
i)(
A)
requires
a
notice
be
permanently
affixed
to
the
deed
of
any
property
where
a
remediation
project
has
resulted
in
the
installation
of
a
fence
or
ground
cover
cap
to
increase
protection
from
exposure
to
PCBs.
These
measures
were
taken
to
enable
adequate
oversight
of
remediation
projects
by
environmental
officials
and
to
provide
adequate
notice
to
potential
new
owners
of
property
where
remediation
projects
were
undertaken.

There
are
a
number
of
provisions
in
Part
761
that
require
reporting
within
15
or
30
days
of
the
occurrence
of
a
specific
event.
For
example,
the
third­
party
notification
requirements
of
§
§
761.61(
a)(
5)(
B)(
2)(
iv)
and
761.62(
b)(
4)(
i)
and
(
ii)
require
generators
to
provide
notice
to
certain
off­
site
facilities
at
least
15
days
prior
to
shipping
certain
wastes.
These
reporting
requirements
are
not
triggered
by
the
calendar
(
i.
e.,
they
are
not
required
quarterly
or
at
more
frequent
intervals).
Therefore,
the
Agency
does
not
believe
that
these
provisions,
or
the
following
30­
day
reporting
requirements,
need
special
justification:

#
§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
vi)(
A)(
1)
requires
owners
of
PCB
transformers
to
register
the
transformer
with
EPA
within
30
days
of
discovery.

#
§
761.60(
j)(
1)(
ii)
requires
EPA,
State,
and
local
environmental
protection
agencies
to
be
notified
of
the
commencement
of
pilot­
scale
PCB
R&
D
disposal
activity.

#
§
761.61(
a)(
3)(
i)
requires
EPA,
State
or
Tribal,
and
county
or
local
environmental
protection
agencies
to
be
notified
of
the
location
of
a
remediation
waste
cleanup
project.

#
§
761.65(
a)(
2)(
i)
requires
EPA
to
be
notified
of
intent
to
store
waste
beyond
the
1­
year
limit
30
days
prior
to
the
expiration
of
the
1­
year
time
frame
when
disposal
cannot
be
accomplished
within
that
period.

#
§
761.70(
b)(
8)
requires
EPA
to
be
notified
30
days
prior
to
transferring
ownership
of
an
incinerator.
3­

#
§
761.75(
c)(

requires
EPA
to
be
notified
30
days
prior
to
transferring
ownership
of
a
landfill.

#
§
761.80(
e)
requires
EPA
to
be
notified
30
days
prior
to
commencing
PCB
R&

disposal
activity
when
using
manufactured/
imported
PCBs
obtained
under
this
exemption.

#
§
761.180(

requires
EPA
to
be
notified
within
30
days
of
suspension
of
incineration
operations.

#
§
761.205(
f)
requires
EPA
to
be
notified
within
30
days
of
changes
to
previous
PCB
Notification.

#
§
761.207(
c)(
1)(
iv)
requires
commercial
storers/
disposal
facilities
to
send
copy
of
manifest
to
generators
within
30
days
of
receipt
of
waste.

#
§
761.218(
b)
requires
disposers
to
send
Certificates
of
Disposal
to
generator
within
30
days
of
disposing
of
his
waste.

Confidentiality
Petitioners
or
permit
applicants
may
claim
that
all
or
part
of
any
information
given
to
EPA,
such
as
process
design
information,
is
confidential
business
information
(
CBI).
EPA
handles
claims
of
confidentiality
pursuant
to
established
CBI
procedures,
as
found
at
section
14
of
TSCA,
40
CFR
750.16
and
750.36,
and
the
Agency's
TSCA
CBI
Manual.
Confidential
Business
Information
is
also
protected
under
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act
(
5
USC
section
525).
Most
of
the

requested
in
the
reporting

requirements
of
these
collections
is
not
of
a
confidential
nature.

THE
RESPONDENTS
AND
THE
INFORMATION
REQUESTED
4(
a)
Respondents/
SIC/
NAICS
Codes
EPA's
PCB
regulations
could
affect
entities
in
all
industrial
categories,
regardless
of
size,
that
currently
possess
PCB
Items,
PCB­
contaminated
equipment,
or
other
PCB
waste.
These
entities
include
those
in
both
the
public
and
private
sectors,
and
may
include
not­
for­
profit
organizations
as
well
as
for­
profit
entities.
Entities
that
generate
PCB
wastes
comprise
the
following
classes:

#
Electric
utility
industry
(
SIC
4911,
NAICS
2211),
including
municipal
and
county
electric
systems,
and
other
publicly
owned
systems,
such
as
irrigation
districts.
It
has
been
estimated
that
70
percent
of
PCBs
produced
were
used
in
dielectric
fluid
for
transformers
and
capacitors.
Thus,
such
high­
voltage
equipment
represents
a
significant
use
of
PCBs
and
therefore
a
major
source
of
PCB
waste
generation.
EPA
studies
of
the
numbers
of
such
equipment
in
use
assumed
that
utilities
owned
30
percent
of
the
askarel
transformers,
80
percent
of
the
mineral
oil
transformers,
and
85
percent
of
the
large
PCB
Capacitors,
with
the
remainder
owned
by
non­
utility
industrial
enterprises.
It
is
estimated
that
there
are
about
2,900
small
entities
in
the
electric
utility
industry.
Privately
owned
small
utilities
are
defined
as
those
with
less
than
4
million
megawatt­
hours
of
electricity
sales
per
year.
Small
publicly
owned
utilities
are
those
owned
by
government
bodies
with
less
than
50,000
in
population.

#
Non­
utility
entities
with
privately­
owned
electric
equipment,
such
as:

­­
oil
and
gas
producers
(
SIC
1311,

NAICS
513)
­­
refuse
systems
(
SIC
4953,
NAICS
562111)

EPA
studies
have
shown
that
these
entities
account
for
more
than
90
percent
PCB
waste
generated
by
the
non­
utility
private
sector.
Hospitals
(
SIC
8062,
NAICS
62211)
and
colleges/
universities
(
SIC
8221,
NAICS
61131)
are
also
likely
to
have
high­
voltage
electrical
equipment
of
the
type
associated
with
PCB
use
and
contamination.

#
Entities
with
PCB
ballasts
from
fluorescent
light
fixtures,
including
manufacturing
and
industrial
entities,
government
bodies
and
school
districts
that
have
such
lighting
equipment.

#
Entities
operating
natural
gas
pipelines.

Entities
engaged
in
bulk
solid
waste
operations,
such
as
automobile
shredders.

facilities
that
must
obtain
approval
from
EPA
to
operate

This
would
include
individuals,

A
number
of
information
collection
data
elements
have
been
consolidated
in
this
combined
ICR.

Many
of
these
requirements
are
triggered
only
by
an
individual's
need
to
address
a
particular
PCB
scenario,

while
other
requirements
apply
to
the
universe
of
individuals
who
use,
process,
distribute
in
commerce,
or
dispose
of
PCBs.
EPA
anticipates
that
no
one
individual
would
be
subject
to
all
of
the
requirements
listed
below.
The
reporting,
third­
party
reporting,

General
(#
1/

Certification
Notification
for
Excluded
Manufacturers:
The
primary
reporting
requirement
for
manufacturers
who
inadvertently
generate
PCBs
and
importers
of
products
containing
inadvertently
generated
PCBs
is
a
certified
notification
to
EPA.
The
notification
(
1)
identifies
the
manufacturing
processes
that
generate
PCBs
in
products
at
levels
above
2
parts
per
million
(
ppm);
(
2)
certifies
compliance
with
all
PCB
release
conditions
on
excluded
processes;
and
(
3)
states
whether
the
certification
is
based
on
actual
monitoring
data
or
on
theoretical
analysis
of
the
chemical
reaction(
s)
involved
in
the
manufacturing
process.

Additionally,
manufacturers
and
importers
must
report
to
EPA
data
on
their
processes
during
periods
of
unusually
high
generation
or
releases
of
PCBs.
Reports
are
required
in
any
calendar
year
where
total
quantities
of
PCBs
in
manufactured
products
exceed
0.0025%
of
a
manufacturing
site's
rated
capacity,
or
the
total
quantity
of
PCBs
imported
exceeds
0.0025%
of
the
average
for
PCB­
containing
products
that
were
imported
during
the
1978­
1982
timeframe.
Also,
reporting
is
required
when
total
PCB
releases
to
air
or
water
exceed
10
pounds
during
the
year
at
any
site,
and
certification
must
be
repeated
whenever
process
conditions
are
significantly
modified

to
manufacture
(
import),
process,
or
distribute
in
commerce
(

PCBs
as
per
TSCA
section

Transformer
Registration:
Owners
of
PCB
Transformers
are
required
to
register
their
transformers
with
EPA.
The
registration
program
is
intended
to
provide
State
officials
and
emergency
response
personnel
information
in
order
to
provide
a
significantly
higher
degree
of
protection
in
emergency
situations.
This
information
will
also
be
used
to
address
future
requirements
of
international
environmental
programs
to
identify
sources
and
reduce
or
eliminate
the
reliance
on
PCBs.
Information
that
must
be
included
in
the
notification
consists
of
the
following:
transformer
address
(
i.
e.,
location);
number
of
PCB
Transformers,

including
total
weight
in
kilograms;
and
the
name,
address,
telephone
number,
and
signature
of
the
owner,

operator,
or
other
authorized
representative
certifying
the
accuracy
of
the
submitted
information.
The
use
of
a
form
is
optional,
as
is
information
on
whether
the
unit(
s)
contains
a
flammable
liquid.
A
copy
of
EPA
Form
7720­
12,
which
can
be
used
for
submitting
this
information
[
§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
vi)],
is
included
in
this
report
as
Appendix
C.
Note
that
§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
xv)(
D)
removes
the
requirement
to
register
PCB
Transformers
with
the
fire
department,
but
retains
the
requirement
to
register
the
transformers
with
building
owners.
Also,

§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
iv)(
C)
required
owners
of
lower
secondary
voltage
PCB
Transformers
in
or
near
commercial
buildings
not
located
in
sidewalk
vaults
and
not
equipped
with
electrical
protection
to
register
these
transformers
with
the
Regional
Administrator
(
RA)
by
October
1,
1990
[
§
§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
iv)(
C),
(
vi),
and
(
vii);

(
xv)(
D)].
Since
registration
pursuant
to
this
provision
was
required
by
October
1,
1990,
the
burden
for
this
reporting
requirement
is
not
reflected
in
this
ICR.

(#

Transformer
Reclassification:
Persons
wishing
to
use
alternate
methods
to
simulate
loaded
(

inservice
conditions
for
transformers
for
the
purpose
of
reclassifying
transformers
must
obtain
EPA
approval
to
do
so
[
§
761.30(
a)(
2)(
v)].
Therefore,
EPA
requires
information
on
the
process
that
is
being
considered
as
well
as
transformer
identification
information.

Use
of
Natural
Gas
Pipelines
and
Other
Gas
or
Liquid
Systems:
Owners/
operators
of
natural
gas
pipelines
who
sell
or
distribute
natural
gas
are
authorized
to
use
natural
gas
pipelines
that
have
been
contaminated
with
PCBs
in
concentrations
$
50
ppm,
if
they
take
certain
actions
to
identify
sources
of
contamination
and
reduce
levels
to
<
50
ppm
PCBs.
Owner/
operators
of
these
pipelines
must
submit
a
written
description
of
the
general
nature
and
location
of
PCB
contamination
in
concentrations
$
50
ppm
if
requested
by
EPA.
This
description
would
be
sent
to
the
RA
or
the
Director,
National
Program
Chemicals
Division
(
NPCD),
at
EPA,
if
the
contaminated
pipe
is
located
in
more
than
one
Region.
EPA
expects
the
reporting
burden
to
be
minimized
as
the
regulations
allow
for
the
use
of
historical
data
regarding
these
requirements
(
e.
g.,
sampling
and
analyses
data
and
reports
of
actions
taken
to
reduce
PCB
levels)

[
§
761.30(
i)(

iii)(
A)(

EPA
Approval
for
Uses
of
PCBs
in
Other
Gas
or
Liquid
Systems:
The
use
of
#
50
ppm
PCBs
in
"
other"
gas
or
liquid
transmission
systems
is
authorized.
Operators
with
systems
with
PCBs
at
concentrations
of
$
50
ppm
must
obtain
written
consent
from
the
Director,
National
Program
Chemicals
Division,
who
may
then
specify
conditions
necessary
to
reduce
the
levels
of
PCBs
in
the
system.
It
is
not
apparent
that
systems
not
otherwise
authorized
under
the
regulations
exist.
Therefore,
EPA
expects
this
authorization
to
be
rare
and
has
no
basis
for
developing
a
burden
for
this
notification
requirement.
Without
this
authorization,
however,
use
of
such
gas
or
liquid
systems
with
PCBs
$
50
ppm
would
be
prohibited
[
§
761.30(

PCB
Articles
in
areas
not
meeting
the
TSCA
approved
storage
standards
in
§

annual
log
about
any
transfer
of
ownership
of
a
PCB
Transformer.
A
proposed
requirement
for
owners
of
reclassified
transformers
is
to
keep
records
of
the
initial
concentration
of
the
transformer
and
the
chosen
reclassification
procedure
and
a
copy
of
the
analysis
indicating
the
final
concentration
in
the
unit.

Individuals
who
discover
fire­
related
incidents
that
result
from
a
rupture
of
a
PCB
Transformer
or
PCB
Voltage
Regulator
must
report
the
incident
to

National
Response
Center.
Owners
of
PCB
Items
distributed
in
commerce
for
reuse
must
retain
records
in
the
annual
document
log
of
any
transfers
of
ownership.
Owners
of
large
capacitors
located
in
protected
locations
who
choose
not
to
mark
these
units
individually
must
maintain
records
for
identifying
the
Capacitors.

Owners
of
PCB
Articles
stored
for
reuse
must
maintain
records
of
the
Articles.
Some
owners
of
PCB
Items
may
want
to
obtain
approval
to
store
equipment
for
disposal
beyond
the
current
1­
year
limit,
or
to
exceed
the
5­
year
limit

In
those
cases,
they
would
be
required
to
contact
the
appropriate
RA
and
compile

AGENCY
ACTIVITIES,
COLLECTION
METHODOLOGY,
AND
INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT
5(
a)
Agency
Activities
EPA
resources
are
devoted
to
reviewing
and
analyzing
data
submissions,
compiling
and
recording
data,
maintaining
hard­
copy
files
of
submitted
data,
inspecting
facilities,
producing
inspection
reports,

responding
to
public
inquiry,
providing
regulatory
interpretations
and
developing
rulemakings.
OPPT
staff
do
not
print
or
otherwise
prepare
collection
instruments,
compile
mailing
lists,
or
publish
results.
Although
a
web
site
has
been
established,
EPA
plans
to
continue/
expand
its
review
of
the
use
of
the
Internet
to
facilitate
the
transfer
of
information
from
EPA
to
the
public.
More
specific
Agency
activities
are
discussed
below.

Data
submitted
to
EPA
for
consideration
in
granting
or
denying
requests
for
exemptions
are
reviewed
(
ICR
857),
analyzed
for
confidentiality
and
appropriate
protection,
and
placed
in
the
docket.
EPA
makes
determinations
of
whether
to
grant
exemptions
and
develops
rulemakings
in
response
to
the
requests
for
exemptions.
Agency
staff
also
receives,
analyzes
and
reviews
requests
to
exceed
quantity
limitations
imposed
by
class
exemptions
(
ICR
1729).

Under
the
self­
implementing
procedures
of
the
PCB
regulations,
data
are
submitted
to
EPA
to
qualify
for
the
exclusion
for
processes/
products
containing
low
levels
of
PCBs
from
the
statutory
bans
on
the
manufacture
(
including
import),
processing,
and
distribution
in
commerce
of
PCBs
(
ICR
1001).
These
data
are
reviewed
and
stored
pursuant
to
confidentiality
requirements,
when
appropriate,
and
placed
in
the
docket
for
public
review
(
sanitized
documents
only);
inspections
are
conducted
as
prescribed
by
the
enforcement
policy.
The
information
is
used
by
EPA
to
identify
manufacturers
and
importers
of
products
containing
low
levels
of
PCBs,
as
well
as
for
compliance
monitoring
and
enforcement
purposes.

Pursuant
to
the
use
authorization
for
PCB
Transformers,
EPA
staff
process
PCB
Transformer
registrations
and
have
created
a
PCB
Transformer
Database
(
ICR
1729).
On
an
"
as
requested
basis,"
EPA
resources
will
provide
information
from
the
PCB
Transformers
Database
to
environmental
and
emergency
response
officials.
EPA
also
has
placed
this
data
on
the
Internet.
5­
2
EPA
staff
also
proc
ess
both
new
and
amended
PCB
notifications
of
waste
handling
activities
and
update
the
PCB
Activity
Database
System
(
PADS)
on
PCB
waste
handlers
(
ICR
1446).
These
data
are
currently
available
on
the
Internet.

Information
from
annual
reports
that
are
submitted
by
storers
and
disposers
of
PCB
waste
enables
the
Agency
to
respond
to
public
and
Congressional
inquiries,
target
inspections,
and
conduct
compliance
monitoring
and
other
enforcement
activities
(
ICR
1446).
To
produce
the
inspection
reports,
EPA
inputs/
indexes/
files
data
that
are
obtained
during
inspections
and
prepares/
reviews/
revises
the
inspection
reports
(
ICR
1000).

Activities
routinely
conducted
by
EPA
in
processing
requests
for
permits
to
operate
a
PCB
disposal
facility
(
ICR
1012)
are
as
follows:

#
Review/
analyze
applications
to
determine
whether
facilities
have
adequate
technical
plans
and
financial
capabilities
to
operate
and
maintain
the
facility.

#
Attend
demonstrations.

#
Grant/
deny
approval.

#
Store
the
data.

Engineers
in
EPA's
Chemical
Management
Division
as
well
as
staff
in
regional
offices
review
the
PCB
disposal
applications.
The
adequacy
of
the
data
contained
in
these
application
is
evaluated
during
a
thorough
review
of
the
data
and
calculations
and
the
assessment
of
subsequent
demonstrations.
In
addition
to
disposal
approvals,
the
Agency
receives,
analyzes,
and
reviews
applications
for
commercial
storage
approvals
(
ICR
1446)
and
coordinated
approvals
(
ICR
1729);
as
well
as
requests
to
exceed
R&
D
and
storage
limitations
(
ICR
1729)
and
to
use
alternate
disposal
methods
(
ICR
1729).
For
commercial
storage
approvals,

EPA
must
also
determine
if
the
facility
will
be
able
to
close
in
an
environmentally
safe
manner
(
ICR
1446).

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
Currently,
all
of
the
PCB
information
collections
are
done
in
hard
copy
form.
Although
the
content
of
these
various
collections
has
been
specified,
the
majority
do
not
require
the
use
of
a
specific
form
or
format.
Therefore,
electronic
submission
and
manipulation
of
the
data
are
not
feasible
at
this
time.
Two
of
the
collections,
however,
are
on
a
form.
EPA
plans
to
review
the
efficiency
of
using
an
electronic
bulletin
board
or
the
Internet
to
facilitate
the
transfer
of
information
(
such
as
reporting
forms)
between
EPA
and
potential
respondents.

Requests
for
disposal
approval
may
be
submitted
in
the
form
most
convenient
to
the
applicant.

Because
of
the
nature
of
the
information
(
i.
e.,
engineering
blueprints),
most
of
the
information
is
generally
submitted
on
paper,
rather
than
electronically.
Where
appropriate,
EPA
accepts
data
in
electronic
format.

There
is
no
requirement
for
the
information
to
be
submitted
in
an
automated,
electronic,
mechanical,
or
other
technological
information
format.
Records
are
maintained
at
EPA
by
the
staff
overseeing
the
review
of
permit
applications.
Applications
are
retained
for
the
duration
of
the
disposal
facilities
operating
approval.

The
public
may
access
the
non­
confidential
portions
of
applications.

Flexibility
Small
businesses
are
not
exempt
from
the
PCB
regulations
under
TSCA,
and
the
information
collections
will
affect
all
entities,
regardless
of
size,
that
own
or
use
PCBs
or
PCB­
containing
equipment
and
generate
PCB
waste.
The
potential
health
ramifications
necessitate
equal
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
for
all
persons,
and
due
to
heightened
awareness
and
concern
for
proper
PCB
disposal
practices,
the
potential
human
and
environmental
risk
necessitates
equal
disclosure
by
all
applicants
regardless
of
size.
While
all
practical
steps
have
been
taken
to
minimize
the
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burdens,
the
requirements
imposed
are
the
minimum
necessary
to
maintain
proper
accountability
for
the
disposition
of
the
PCBs.
These
requirements
assist
EPA
in
meeting
its
statutory
obligation
to
make
a
finding
of
no
unreasonable
risk
for
an
authorized
activity
and
determining,
for
example,
whether
a
petitioner
is
eligible
to
receive
the
benefit
of
an
approval,
exemption,
or
exclusion.
In
general,
the
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
are
no
more
burdensome
than
standard
business
procedures
currently
in
place.
5­
4
Small
organizations
will
usually
handle
smaller
volumes
of
PCBs
than
larger
entities,
thereby
minimizing
their
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burdens.
The
complexity
of
toxic
material
disposal
and
the
required
financial
assurance
to
ensure
against
environmental
liabilities
seem
to
deter
smaller
businesses
from
engaging
in
disposal
facility
enterprises
(
e.
g.,
it
is
economically
infeasible).
For
example,
the
vast
majority
of
PCB
Transformers
subject
to
these
requirements
are
located
in
large
industrial
and
utility
locations.

Therefore,
very
few
small
businesses
are
likely
to
own
PCB
Transformers
because
of
the
significant
costs
associated
with
the
initial
purchase
of
the
equipment
and
the
long
term
expense
for
operation
and
maintenance.

In
another
example,
the
manufacturing
exclusion
of
ICR
1001
was
designed
to
minimize
the
burdens
of
the
TSCA
Section
6(
e)
bans
on
chemical
manufacturers.
This
rule
has
relieved
small
business
manufacturers
from
the
burdens
of
filing
annual
petitions
for
exemption
from
the
manufacturing,
processing,

and
distribution
in
commerce
bans,
as
required
under
Section
6(
e)(
3).
Further,
to
minimize
the
burdens
of
information
collection
on
small
organizations,
EPA
allows
significant
flexibility
in
its
information
collection
requirements
so
that
manufacturers
have
options
available
to
them
for
supporting
their
requests
for
exclusion.

One
option
avoids
the
need
for
repeated
sampling
and
reporting
by
allowing
manufacturers
to
conduct
theoretical
analyses
rather
than
actual
sampling
of
process
streams
to
estimate
the
levels
of
PCBs
generated
by
the
processes.
If
the
basis
for
the
theoretical
analysis
is
sound,
the
manufacturer
may
certify
compliance
on
the
basis
of
that
analysis,
until
and
unless
he
or
she
engages
in
a
new
process
or
significantly
alters
the
reported
process.
Additional
flexibility
is
available
for
estimating
the
levels
of
PCBs
generated
and
released.

Rather
than
specifying
any
one
sampling
regime
or
method
of
theoretical
analysis,
the
reports
require
only
that
petitioners
support
the
estimates
by
any
defensible
basis.
For
example,
sampling
results
may
be
accompanied
by
a
description
of
the
sample
matrix
and
any
data
from
a
quality
assurance
plan.

(
i)
Small
Entities
Affected
by
the
PCB
Regulations
The
small
business
entities
may
include
those
in
both
the
public
and
private
sectors,
and
not­
for­
profit
organizations
as
well
as
for­
profit
entities.
The
Regulatory
Flexibility
Act
identifies
three
classes
of
small
entities
of
special
concern:
5­
5
#
Small
for­
profit
businesses
as
defined
by
the
Small
Business
Administration's
(
SBA)
Table
of
Size
Standards.

#
Small
governments,
defined
as
governmental
jurisdictions,
such
as
cities,
towns,
counties,
or
school
districts,
with
a
population
less
than
50,000.

#
Small
organizations,
defined
as
not­
for­
profit
enterprises
which
are
independently
owned
and
not
dominant
in
their
fields.

Entities
generating
PCB
wastes
comprise
the
following
classes:

#
Electric
utility
industry:
PCB­
oil
and
contaminated
mineral
oil
from
electrical
equipment
such
as
transformers
and
large
capacitors.
Included
in
this
category
are
publicly­
owned
entities
such
as
municipal
and
county
electric
systems
as
well
as
other
public
power
systems
such
as
irrigation
districts.

#
Non­
utility
entities
with
privately­
owned
electrical
equipment,
such
as
PCB
Transformers
and
Capacitors
and
other
PCB­
Contaminated
electrical
equipment.
This
group
includes
those
entities
that
own
high­
voltage
transformers
and
large
capacitors.
A
1989
EPA
report
identified
such
entities
as
most
likely
to
be
in
oil
and
gas
production,
manufacturing,
railroads,
and
telecommunication
industries.
Not­
for­
profit
entities
such
as
colleges
and
universities
and
hospitals
are
also
to
be
included
in
this
group
(
EPA,
1989).
Public­
sector
operations
such
as
prisons
might
also
possess
this
type
of
equipment.

#
Entities
with
PCB
ballasts
from
fluorescent
light
fixtures.
Due
to
the
widespread
use
of
fluorescent
lighting,
any
entity
operating
out
of
a
fixed
location
built
prior
to
the
late
1970s
is
a
possible
candidate
for
inclusion
in
this
class
of
waste
generators.
Included
are
government
bodies,
such
as
school
districts,
that
have
such
lighting
equipment.

#
Entities
operating
natural
gas
pipelines
may
have
PCB­
contaminated
pipeline
equipment
resulting
from
the
contact
of
condensate
with
PCB­
contaminated
oils
used
in
pipeline
compressors.

#
PCBs
have
been
found
in
electrical
components
of
appliances
and
in
automobiles,
and
disposal
operations
such
as
automobile
or
appliance
shredding
may
generate
PCBcontaminated
materials.

#
Cleanup
of
Superfund
sites
and
other
hazardous
waste
sites
may
generate
PCBcontaminated
materials.

Electric
Utilities.
It
has
been
estimated
that
60
to
70
percent
of
the
PCBs
produced
were
used
in
dielectric
fluid
for
transformers
and
capacitors.
Thus,
such
high­
voltage
equipment,
including
askarel
and
5­
6
mineral
oil
transformers
and
large
PCB
Capacitors,
represents
a
major
source
of
PCB
waste
generation.

EPA
studies
of
the
numbers
of
such
equipment
in
use
assumed
that
utilities
owned
30
percent
of
the
askarel
5­
7
transformers,
80
percent
of
the
mineral
oil
transformers,
and
85
percent
of
the
large
PCB
capacitors,
with
the
remainder
owned
by
non­
utility
industrial
enterprises
(
EPA,
1989).

Electric
utility
operating
data
collected
and
reported
by
the
Energy
Information
Administration
(
EIA,

Form
861)
were
used
to
determine
the
number
of
small
entities
in
this
industry
(
EIA,
1995).
The
SBA
smallentity
definition
for
the
electric
utility
industry
includes
entities
producing
4
million
megawatt­
hours
of
electricity
sales
or
less.
The
EIA
data
permit
identification
of
private
sector
small
utilities
as
well
as
of
municipal
and
other
publicly
owned
utilities.
Such
utilities
owned
by
small
governments
(
less
than
50,000
in
population)
were
identified
through
U.
S.
Census
population
data
for
cities,
towns,
and
counties.

Other
Industrial
Sectors.
The
available
evidence
suggests
that
PCB
waste
generation
related
to
contaminated
electrical
equipment,
fluorescent
light
ballasts,
and
other
PCB
wastes,
is
common
throughout
a
number
of
industrial
sectors.
The
1989
EPA
study,
based
on
Arkansas,
New
York,
and
California
state
information
about
PCB
waste
generators,
identified
oil
and
gas
production
(
SIC
1311,
NAICS
211111),

manufacturing
(
SIC
20­
39,
NAICS
31­
33),
line­
haul
railroads
(
SIC
4011,
NAICS
48211),
telephone
communications
(
SIC
4810,
NAICS
513),
and
refuse
systems
(
SIC
4953,
NAICS
562111)
as
accounting
for
over
90
percent
of
the
non­
utility,
private
sector
PCB
waste
generators.
Recent
information
on
PCB
waste
generators
for
New
York
and
California
(
New
York
Department
of
Environmental
Conservation,
1995;

California
Department
of
Toxic
Substances,
1995)
indicate
that
a
large
proportion
of
non­
utility
PCB
waste
generators
fall
within
SICs
13,
20­
39,
40,
and
49
(
NAICS
211,
31­
33,
335,
and
562).
These
industries
are
expected
to
account
for
most
of
the
PCB
wastes
associated
with
the
disposal
of
electrical
equipment.

Hospitals
(
SIC
8062,
NAICS
62211)
and
colleges
and
universities
(
SIC
8221,
NAICS
61131)
are
also
likely
to
have
high­
voltage
electrical
equipment
of
the
type
associated
with
PCB
contamination
and
thus
should
be
included
within
the
class
of
PCB
waste
generators
associated
with
such
equipment.
This
assumption
is
corroborated
by
the
inclusion
of
such
establishments
among
the
New
York
hazardous
waste
generators
listed
as
disposing
of
PCB
transformers
and
capacitors.
The
specific
description
of
the
wastes
for
each
generator
provided
by
the
New
York
data
also
confirms
the
belief
that
wastes
associated
with
fluorescent
light
ballasts
are
generated
by
establishments
throughout
the
private
and
public
sectors.

EPA
used
this
information
about
the
industrial
pattern
of
PCB
waste
generation
to
develop
industryspecific
estimates
of
the
number
of
establishments
that
might
have
PCB
and
PCB­
Contaminated
Electrical
5­
8
Equipment.
Based
on
a
previous
study
of
the
electric
utility
industry,
EPA
estimated
that
0.3
percent
of
electric
utility
customers
receive
power
at
high
voltage
levels
(
ERG,
1993).
High­
voltage
customers
in
most
cases
have
transformers,
capacitors,
and
other
equipment
necessary
to
transform
the
voltages
and
distribute
electricity
within
their
premises.
That
study
also
estimated
that
85
percent
of
such
establishments
own
their
own
high­
voltage
transformation
equipment,
the
remainder
using
transformation
equipment
provided
or
leased
to
them
by
their
utility
company.

According
to
the
1994
County
Business
Patterns,
there
are
approximately
6.4
million
establishments
in
the
private
sector,
exclusive
of
agriculture
(
SICs
01
and
02,
NAICS
11
and
112)
and
line­
haul
railroads
(
SIC
40,
NAICS
48211)
(
Bureau
of
the
Census,
1997).
Using
the
assumption
that
0.3
percent
of
these
establishments
receive
high­
voltage
electricity
service,
16,333
(
adjusting
for
the
share
that
lease
equipment
from
the
utility)
would
be
expected
to
have
transformers
and
capacitors
that
might
be
contaminated
with
PCBs
(
6.4
million
x
0.3
percent
x
85
percent
that
own
their
equipment).
EPA
distributed
this
estimate
of
the
number
of
establishments
with
high
voltage
equipment
among
2­
digit
industries
using
two
criteria.
First,

industries
were
stratified
according
to
whether
they
would
include
a
substantial
number
(
high
prevalence),

relatively
few
(
low
prevalence),
or
a
negligible
number
of
high­
voltage
users.
Second,
high­
prevalence
industries
were
judged
to
account
for
two­
thirds
of
the
list
of
high­
voltage
users.
Thus,
10,900
of
the
510,300
establishments
in
the
high­
prevalence
industries
and
5,400
of
the
4.7
million
establishments
in
the
lowprevalence
industries
are
estimated
to
own
high­
voltage
electrical
equipment.
These
establishments
were
then
distributed
among
industries
within
these
two
groups
on
the
basis
of
the
overall
distribution
of
establishments.

Some
small
entities
(
as
defined
by
the
SBA
criteria)
are
expected
to
be
among
the
high­
voltage
users
and,
therefore,
might
be
owners
of
PCB
and
PCB­
Contaminated
Electrical
Equipment.
Also,
small
entities
are
assumed
to
be
as
likely
to
own
high­
voltage
equipment
as
larger
firms,
an
assumption
that
may
result
in
an
overstatement
of
the
actual
number
of
small
entities
that
own
such
equipment.
The
results
of
this
distribution
methodology
are

Several
sources
of
data
were
used
for
estimating
the
total
number
of
respondents
and
hourly
burdens
for
the
requirements
of
this
Consolidated

The
sources
include,
the
Cost

Part
761
(
U.

The
data
estimates
appearing
in
this
Support
Statement
were
also
reviewed
and
updated
directly
for
this
report,
as
necessary,
by
telephoning
industry
representatives
(
less
than
10
entities
per
PCB
handling
category)
knowledgeable
about
specific
regulations
and
the
associated
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements.
Entities
contacted
include
owners/
operators
of
incinerators
and
chemical
waste
landfills,
6­

alternate
disposal
permit
holders,
commercial
storers
of
PCB
waste,
electric
utility
providers,
other
PCB

handlers,
and
chemical
manufacturers.
This
information
is
summarized
in
the
Data
Gathering
Report
for
the
Consolidated
ICR
Supporting
Statement
Covering
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40

and

this
Statement
as
Appendix
E
(
U.

EPA,
1998a).

Response
to
Comments
on
the
ICR
for
the
PCB
Disposal
Amendments.
Commenters
on
the
ICR
that
was
prepared
for
the
PCB
Disposal
Amendments
and
ultimately
approved
by
OMB
(
2070­
0159)

indicated
that
EPA
had
failed
to
consider
the
time
to
locate
and
identify
equipment
that
would
be
subject
to
the
recordkeeping
requirements
at
§
761.35
for
the
storage
of
PCB
Articles
(
i.
e.,
any
manufactured
article,

other
than
a
PCB
Container,
that
contains
PCBs
and
whose
surface
has
been
in
direct
contact
with
PCBs)

intended
for
subsequent
reuse;
that
the
time
to
create
a
record
for
each
item
was
grossly
underestimated;
and
that
the
cost
to
the
electric
utility
industry
was
underestimated.

However,
prior
to
the
discussion
of
EPA's
burden/
cost
estimates,
these
commenters
indicate
that
the
"[
E]
lectric
utilities
typically
maintain
an
inventory
of
electrically­
sound
capacitors,
transformers,
bushings
and
some
other
types
of
equipment
in
storage,
awaiting
reuse
to
replace
units
that
fail."[
emphasis
added]

The
commenters
assert
later
that
"...
the
equipment
is
stored
in
restricted
areas
to
which
only
authorized
personnel
have
access"
and
that
"...
utilities
keep
their
equipment
in
restricted
access
areas
under
lock
and
key."
[
emphasis
added]

Commenters
agreed
with
EPA's
estimate
regarding
the
universe
of
equipment
that
would
be
subject
to
the
recordkeeping
provision
(
i.
e.,
"
likely
to
fall
around"
189,225
units).
However,
they
estimated
it
would
take
each
utility
487
hours,
on
average,
just
to
find
and
identify
the
subject
equipment.
Then
it
would
take
1.25
hours,
rather
than
the
0.15
hours
suggested
by
EPA
to
record
each
piece
of
equipment
(
i.
e.,
9
minutes,

which
were
miscalculated
by
the
commenters
as
5
minutes).
Hourly
wage
rates
were
estimated
by
commenters
to
range
between
$
38
to
$
47
rather
than
the
rate
of
$
44/
hour
for
technical
personnel
as
suggested
by
EPA.
However,
when
the
commenters'
hourly
rates
are
averaged
[($
38
+
$
47)
÷
2],
the
resulting
hourly
rate
is
$
42.50,
which
is
less
than
the
EPA
rate.
Nonetheless,
using
the
range
in
hourly
rates
suggested
by
commenters,
the
costs
associated
with
strictly
locating
and
identifying
equipment
subject
to
§
761.35
would
range
from
$
18,506
to
$
22,889
per
facility.
Using
EPA's
estimate
for
investor­
owned
utilities
6­
3
(
i.
e.,
265
utilities),
commenters
projected
the
cost
for
this
aspect
of
the
requirement
would
range
from
$
4,904,090
to
$
6,065,585.

In
order
to
complete
the
recordkeeping
requirement,
commenters
estimated
the
cost
to
create
each
record
would
range
between
$
47.50
to
$
58.75
[($
38
or
$
47)
x
1.25
hours]
resulting
in
an
estimated
industry
cost
of
$
13.9
million
to
$
17.2
million
($
47.50
or
$
58.75
x
189,225
+
265
x
$
18,506
or
$
22,889),
versus
EPA's
estimate
of
$
1.3
million.

EPA
questions
the
validity
of
claims
that
suggest
the
Agency
is
underestimating
the
cost
associated
with
maintaining
records,
which
commenters
readily
admit
are
currently
being
maintained
in
some
fashion
for
PCB
Articles
that
have
been
placed
into
storage
for
reuse.
Also,
given
the
restricted
access
that
is
accorded
this
equipment
(
i.
e.,
access
is
limited
to
authorized
personnel
in
areas
under
lock
and
key),
it
is
prudent
to
assume
that
knowledge
currently
exists
about
the
location
and
identity
of
equipment
that
are
subject
to
the
recordkeeping
provisions
of
§
761.35
and
that
the
costs
attributed
to
this
requirement
are
minimal.
Therefore,

EPA
is
not
modifying
its
estimate
of
the
costs
for
maintaining
records
on
the
storage
of
PCB
Articles
intended
for
reuse.

A
review
of
EPA's
calculations
did
reveal
however
that
the
factor
used
for
calculating
the
burden
and
costs
for
this
recordkeeping
requirement
was
transposed;
i.
e.,
0.15
hour
was
used
to
calculate
the
costs
and
1.5
hours
was
used
to
calculate
the
burden.
This
factor
should
have
been
the
same
in
both
instances;

i.
e.,
0.15
hour.
As
a
result,
the
burden
previously
estimated
by
EPA
for
this
recordkeeping
requirement
is
being
reduced
from
283,838
hours
to
28,384
hours.

Response
to
Comments
on
ICR
1446,
PCBs:
Notification
&
Manifesting
of
PCB
Waste
Activities
and
Records
of
PCB
Storage
and
Disposal.
A
number
of
comments
were
submitted
to
the
Agency
regarding
some
of
the
information
collection
assumptions
for
this
ICR.
It
appears
that
several
commenters
relied
on
the
brief
discussion
found
in
the
Federal
Register
(
FR)
notice
rather
than
reviewing
the
ICR
itself.
The
Agency
publishes
a
FR
notice
to
alert
interested
parties
when
a
renewal
of
an
ICR
supporting
statement
has
been
forwarded
to
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
for
review.
Among
the
comments
received
were
claims
that
EPA
had
underestimated
the
amount
of
time
required
to
satisfy
the
record
retention
requirements
associated
with
§
761.180(
a),
covering
PCBs
and
PCB
Items
in
service
or
projected
for
disposal.
The
burden
6­
4
associated
with
this
provision
was
estimated
by
EPA
to
be
29
hours
annually
per
respondent.
Although
commenters
overall
provided
insufficient
information
for
the
purpose
of
adjusting
EPA's
estimate
of
the
burden,
the
data
gathering
effort,
as
reported
in
Appendix
E,
revealed
that
the
time
to
conduct
the
recordkeeping
for
the
annual
log
averages
52
hours
per
year
for
companies
that
handle
limited
amounts
of
PCB
wastes,
and
1,040
hours
per
year
(
20
hours
per
week)
for
major
handlers
of
PCBs.

One
commenter
also
questioned
EPA's
burden
estimate
for
maintaining
records
of
manifests,
which
EPA
estimated
as
10
minutes
per
manifest.
Therefore,
if
one
respondent
frequently
accumulates
and
disposes
of
PCB
wastes,
his
burden
for
maintaining
manifest
records
would
exceed
the
burden
for
a
respondent
who
manages
a
smaller
volume
of
PCB
waste.
Because
manifesting
requirements
imposed
under
State
and/
or
RCRA
regulations
pre­
date
the
TSCA
PCB
manifesting
requirement
and
focus
on
the
same
universe
of
respondents,
EPA
did
not
attribute
the
burden
associated
with
that
activity
to
the
PCB
requirements.
Based
on
discussions
with
a
limited
number
of
industry
representatives,
there
remains
no
justification
for
revising
the
estimate
of
10
minutes
per
manifest
(
see
Appendix
E).

Finally,
EPA
received
comments
concerning
the
burden
for
compiling
and
submitting
the
annual
report
[
i.
e.,
§
§
761.180(
b)
and
(
b)(
3)].
EPA
had
adjusted
the
burden
associated
with
this
activity
to
84
hours
per
respondent
based
on
a
review
of
the
requirements
and
discussions
with
consultants
during
the
effort
to
prepare
the
Cost
Impacts
of
the
Final
Regulations
Amending
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
Part
761
(
U.
S.
EPA,
1998b).
Based
on
the
data
gathering
effort
for
the
Consolidated
ICR
(
Appendix
E),
the
estimate
was
further
adjusted
to
59
hours
per
respondent.

Burden
summary.
The
total
estimated
time
for
respondents
to
comply
with
the
reporting,
third­
party
reporting,
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
this
Consolidated
ICR
is
741,261
hours.
The
annual
burden
associated
with
respondents
complying
with
the
reporting
requirements
of
this
Consolidated
ICR
is
estimated
to
average
62,859
hours,
industry
wide.
The
total
third­

is
estimated
to
average
52,344
hours,
industry

and
the
total
recordkeeping
burden
of
this
Consolidated

is
estimated
to

990

§
761.60(
j)
for
self­
implementing
R&
D
eliminates
the
need
to
submit
certain
requests
for
disposal
approval
and
that
there
are
roughly
10
commercial
disposers
who
could
come
in
for
renewal
of
their
approvals
during
the
3­
year
ICR
clearance
period.
Also,
each
year,
some
applicants
start
the
disclosure
process
and
later
withdraw
their
application
or
conduct
an
unsuccessful
demonstration.
Because
of
the
difficulty
in
estimating
the
burden
for
these
partial
applications
and
based
on
an
EPA
analysis
conducted
for
this
report,
the
hourly
burdens
from
the
existing
ICR
and
the
Data
Gathering
Report
(
Appendix
E)
have
been
revised,
as
follows:

EPA
estimates
that
of
the
15
approval
requests
that
may
be
received
by
EPA,
about
half
(
7)
will
likely
be
renewal
requests
of
an
existing
disposal
approval
(
i.
e.,
8
hours
to
prepare;
EPA
estimate);
a
quarter
(
4)
may
be
for
thermal
destruction/
incineration
technologies
(
i.
e.,
the
most
burdensome
to
prepare
at
3,000
hours;
see
Appendix
E);
and
the
remainder
(
4)
may
be
for
process
changes
or
non­
thermal
technologies
under
§
761.60(
e)
(
i.
e.,
the
least
burdensome
application
at
an
estimated
700
hours
to
prepare,
as
per
ICR
1012
and
Appendix
E).
The
weighted
average
for
these

thus
becomes
990

had
been
increased

decreased
from

was
generated
by
using
the

was
confirmed
by

60,200

Total
number
of
transformers
is
based
on
two
EPA
analyses.
One
study
conducted
for
the
proposed
Reclassification
Rule
estimated
that
301,000
transformers
containing
>
50
ppm
PCBs
could
potentially
be
retrofilled.
An
estimate
from
the
cost
analysis
for
the
Final
Rule
was
that
20
percent
of
all
PCB
Articles
will
be
retrofilled
(
EPA,
1998b).
Thus,
60,200
transformers
will
be
retrofilled
each
year
(
301,000
x
20%).
As
per
the
small
entity
impacts
analysis
of
the
PCB
Reclassification
Rule,
it
is
assumed
that
it
will
take
15
minutes
to

Tables

show
the
annual
respondent
hourly
burden
and
cost
estimates
for
the
reporting,
third­
party
reporting,
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
the
Consolidated
ICR.
For
the
labor
rate
estimates
used
in
the
ICRs,
EPA
relied
on
the
Comprehensive
Assessment
and
Information
Rule
(
CAIR)

economic
analysis,
which
measured
costs
to
the
same
industries
affected
by
these
collections
at
hourly
labor
rates
as
follows
(
including
benefits
and
overhead):
legal
@
$
80.69;
managerial
@
$
60.42;
scientific
@
$
52.39;

technical/
foreman
@
$
43.80;
engineering
technician
(
line
employee)
@
$
31.41;
and
clerical
@
$
21.73
(
rounded
to
the
nearest
dollar:
$
81;
$
60,
$
52;
$
44,
$
31,
and
$
22,
respectively).
The
cost
for
using
the
services
of
consulting
engineers
was
estimated
to
be
$
72
per
hour.
The
engineering
technician
wage
rate
was
judged
to
be
appropriate
for
compliance
activities
performed
by
non­
supervisory
personnel.
It
corresponds
to
the
weekly
wage
for
engineering
technicians,
Level
IV,
as
estimated
by
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
(
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
1997).
That
wage
rate
was
multiplied
by
1.64
to
capture
standard
OPPT
assumptions
about
labor
fringe
benefits
and
overhead
rates.
Note
that
no
requirement
was
found
to
use
legal
or
scientific
services.

There
are
no
new
capital
or
training
costs
anticipated
to
the
affected
industries
or
the
Federal
government
associated
with
responding
to
the
information
collections
that
are
subject
to
renewal
(
i.
e.,
ICRs
583,
857,
1000,
1001,
1012,
and
1446),
nor
have
there
been
any
Federal
costs
associated
with
printing
or
mailing.
Costs
associated
with
reading
the
rule,
providing
training,
and
updating
procedures
to
comply
with
the
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
for
the
Final
PCB
Disposal
Rule
(
63
FR
35384,
62/
19/
88;
ICR
1729)
have
been
accounted
for
by
taking
10
percent
of
the
total
cost
of
each
requirement
and
annualizing
the
costs
over
the
OMB
3­
year
clearance
period
using
a
factor
of
0.3811.
The
new
one­
time
requirements
of
the
Final
PCB
Disposal
Rule
(
ICR
1729)
were
also
annualized
for
a
3­
year
period,
as
indicated
on
Tables
6­

3and
6­
4.
Because
operations
and
maintenance
costs
for
these
information
collections
(
i.
e.,
costs
associated
with
telephone
calls,
photocopying,
and
other
general
office
overhead
expenses)
have
been
estimated
to
be
relatively
low
and
within
the
range
of
the
estimation
error,
there
are
no
added
costs
for
these
activities.
Also
note
that
variations
in
some
of
the
totals
on
the
tables
are
due
to
rounding.

Reasons

Change
in
Burden
The
burden
in
OMB's
inventory
for
the
various
existing
ICRs
(
based
on
Notices
of

is
2,007,618
hours,

#
ICR

1,786,153
hours
(

The
total
burden
hours
for
the
Cons
olidated
ICR
is
741,261
hours.
In
preparing
this
Consolidated
ICR,
the
information
collection
requirements
captured
by
each
of
the
ICRs
listed
above
were
compared
against
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations.
Even
though
the
Consolidated
ICR
captures
an
additional
205,573
burden
hours
for
requirements
that
were
overlooked
by
the
various
individual
ICRs
and
an
additional
13,427
burden
hours
associated
with
the
Reclassification
Rule,
the
burden
for
the
PCB
collections
has
been
reduced.
When
the
"
newly
captured"
requirements
and
those
of
the
Reclassification
Rule
are
included
in
the
comparison,
the
reduction
is
1,266,357
hours
(
2,007,618
­
741,261).
However,
program
changes
and
adjustments
to
the
hourly
burdens,
revised
estimates
regarding
the
total
number
of
respondents
resulting
from
new
data
gathered
for
the
consolidated
ICR
effort
(
as
reported
in
Appendix
E
and
Tables
6­
1
through
6­
6
of
this
report),
updated
Agency
analyses,
and
estimate
adjustments
that
were
made
for
consistency
with
more
recent
Agency
reports
all
impacted
the
reduction
in
burden.
The
cumulative
result
of
these
program
changes
and
adjustments
was
a
reduction
of
1,447,626
hours,
as
shown
on
Table
6­

and
in
the

of
the
Final
PCB
Disposal
Rule
(
ICR
1729)
created
a
program
change,
adding
two
new
R&
D
class
exemptions.
To
qualify
for
these
R&
D
exemptions,
individuals
must
file
an
exemption
petition.
Both
ICR
857
and
1729
include
burdens
for
developing
exemptions
and
submitting
renewal
requests.
These
estimates
have
ranged
from
2
to
9
hours
to
develop
a
petition
and
to
do
renewals.
Based
on
the
data
gathering
effort
(
Appendix
E),
EPA
has
learned
that
it
takes
about
40
hours
to
prepare
exemption
requests
and
1
hour
to
request
renewals.
EPA's
estimate
of
the
number
of
requests
for
exemptions
and
renewals
remains
unchanged
(
i.
e.,
25
6­
47
individuals
may
be
interested
in
obtaining
an
exemption
primarily
under
these
new
class
exemption
provisions,
2
individuals
may
request
exemptions
outside
the
class
exemptions,
and
3
individuals
may
request
renewals).
Therefore
the
1,083­
hour
burden
reflected
in
the
Consolidated
ICR
represents
a
program
adjustment
increase
of
822
hours,
as
follows:
[

The
increase
in
the
burden
for
keeping
records
of
transformer
inspections
and
maintenance
history
represents
an
adjustment
and
is
based
on
several
changes
in
how
the
burden
was
estimated.
First,
the
estimated
number
of
PCB
Transformers
that
will
be
inspected
increased
from
150,000
to
312,080
transformers,
based
on
more
recent
data
from
a
March
1998,
Agency
analysis
of
the
Reclassification
Rule
(
U.
S.
EPA,
1998d).
Second,
this
report
provides
estimates
only
for
the
recordkeeping
elements
but
not
the
inspection
elements
of
the
requirement,
to
maintain
consistency
with
how
other
inspection
and
inspection
recordkeeping
requirements
of
the
Disposal
Amendments
were
addressed
in
the
more
recent
ICR
1729
(
such
as
for
voltage
regulators,
PCB
Articles
and
Items
in
storage,
caps
on
remediated
sites,
and
non­
porous
surfaces).
In
ICR
1000,
the
estimates
for
inspecting
transformers
and
keeping
records
were
8
minutes
(
0.133
hour)
for
stand­
alone
transformers,
10
minutes
(
0.167
hour)
for
transformers
in
banks
of
2,
and
12
minutes
(
0.2
hour)
for
transformers
in
banks
of
4.
Subtracting
the
estimates
for
conducting
inspections,
5
from
8
minutes
for
standalones
7
from
10
for
banks
of
2,
and
9
from
12
for
banks
of
4
transformers,
the
estimate
to
keep
track
of
transformer
records
comes
to
3
minutes
per
transformer,
whether
or
not
the
transformers
stand
alone
or
in
groups.
Thus,
for
this
report,
3
minutes
was
used
as
the
average
time
it
takes
a
technician
to
prepare
data
forms
and
track
inspection
data
per
Transformer.
The
time
for
clerks
to
file
and
maintain
the
data
remains
the
same
at
2
minutes
(
0.33
hour)
per
transformer.
As
per
ICR
1000,
it
was
assumed
that
50
percent
(
156,040)
of
the
transformers
are
inspected
annually
and
50
percent
are
inspected
quarterly.
Based
on
these
different
calculation
methods
and
total
number
of
transformers,
the
burden
increases
by
31,976
hours
(
64,912
hours
­
32,936
hours).

Based
on
information
collected
for
this
report
(
U.
S.
EPA,
1998a),
the
Agency
received
30
exclusion
certifications
from
February
1996
through
February
1999
(
36
months),
for
an
average
of
0.83
requests
per
month
or
10
new
certifications
per
year.
The
previous
estimate
reflected
6
certifications
per
year.
This
ICR
also
includes
an
estimated
burden
for
previous
respondents
(
previously
estimated
at
176
respondents)
who
are
required
to
retain
their
records
for
a
maximum
period
of
7
years.
Although
this
number
is
subject
to
fluctuation
due
to
a
variety
of
reasons,
for
the
purpose
of
calculating
this
burden,
EPA
assumes
the
number
of
respondents
who
are
required
to
maintain
records
remains
constant
and
is
no
greater
than
25.
(
EPA
has
observed
that
these
certifications
are
filed
by
about
21
companies;
therefore
the
number
of
respondents
will
not
be
the
same
as
the
total
number
of
notices
received.
In
addition,
facility/
operations
may
have
ceased
or
the
maximum
retention
period
may
have
been
reached
and
the
respondent
is
no
longer
6­
48
subject
to
the
recordkeeping
requirement.)
The
net
difference
in
burden
in
this
ICR
represents
an
adjustment
and
is
estimated
to
result
in
an
annual
savings
of
655
hours
(
20
hours

notify/
certify
x
10

=

(
Tables

#

The
change
in
burden
is
due
to
an
adjustment
of
the
weighted
average
for
various
disposal
approval
requests.
There
is
also
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
respondents
who
request
disposal
approvals,
based
largely
on
changes
to
the
regulations
that
no
longer
require
approval
for
certain
disposal
activities
and
decontamination
procedures
(
e.
g.,
§
§
761.60(
b)(
6)(
iii)
and
.60(
j);
and
.79).
Due
to
these
changes,
requests
for
R&
D
disposal
and
decontamination
approvals
will
be
rare.
Requests
for
new
commercial
disposal
facilities
will
also
be
less
likely
under
the
new
requirements,
although
owners
of
existing
facilities
will
continue
to
require
Agency
approval
of
process
changes
and/
or
to
renew
their
approvals.
When
the
clearance
for
this
ICR
was
completed
in
1997,
EPA
estimated
a
decrease
in
the
burden
for
applying
for
PCB
disposal
approvals
(
from
940
hours
to
334
hours
weighted
average).
This
reduction
was
attributed
to
the
large
number
of
R&
D
disposal
applications.
However,
based
on
a
recent
limited
survey
of
regulated
entities,
combined
with
data
from
the
1997
clearance
for
this
ICR,
EPA
estimated
a
weighted
average
of
990
burden
hours
for
complying
with
the
paperwork
requirements
for
a
commercial
disposal
approval
and
reduced
the
total
number
of
respondents
by
about
half.
This
results
in
a
net
increase
of
4,162
hours
[(
990
hours
x
15
respondents)
­
(
334

(

Various
changes
in
the
annual
burden
that
are
reflected
in
this
ICR
represent
adjustments
to
previous
EPA
estimates
for
provisions
contained
in
ICRs
1446
and
1729.

<
The
hours
initially
reported
and
approved
under
ICR
1446
(
i.
e.,
238
hours)
for
notifying
State
and
local
officials
prior
to
the
first
use
of
an
disposal
facility
or
alternate
technology
was
revised
to
300
hours
(
30
minutes
for
each
of
600
notifications).
This
results
in
a
program
adjustment
of
62
hours.
(+

(
1)
EPA
had
previously
estimated
it
would
receive
300
notifications
annually
of
waste
handling
activities
annually.
Relatively
few
"
new"
submissions
are
anticipated
for
generators,
commercial
storers,
transporters,
and
disposers.
Thus,
the
number
of
respondents
was
decreased
from
300
to
100
(
Tables
6­
1
and
6­
4,
#
44).
The
burden
estimate
was
increased
from
50
minutes
to
1.5
hours,
however,
to
maintain
consistency
with
similar
provisions.
This
results
in
a
program
adjustment
and
a
savings
of
100
hours
[(
300
respondents
x
.833
hours)
­
(
100
respondents
x
1.5
hours)].
Additionally,
a
burden
estimate
of
50
hours
for
filing
and
maintaining
a
copy
of
the
notification
of
waste
handling
activities
was
previously
included
in
ICR
6­
49
1446.
The
burden
for
filing
and
maintaining
these
notifications
is
captured
by
#
44.
This
results
in
a
program
adjustment
and
reduces
the
burden
by
50
hours.
Program
revisions
made
under
ICR
1729
to
require
individuals
to
obtain
an
identification
number
for
burning/
using
PCBs
in
high
efficiency
boilers
and
scrap

recovery
ovens
and

(

create
a
program
adjustment
of
an
additional
60
hours
(
40
respondents

hours),
whereas
the
estimate
for
the
number
of
facilities
who
must
notify
EPA
regarding

disposal
activities
remains
the
same
at

(

Reports
(
Tables

were
also
revised.
The
estimate
in
ICR
1446
was
678
hours
(
3
hours
for
226
respondents)
and
the
estimate
in
ICR
1729
added
no
additional
burden.
The
estimate
in
this
report
is
150
hours
total
(
i.
e.,
2
hours
to
submit
25
Exception
and
Discrepancy
Reports,
and
2
hours
to
submit
50
Unmanifested
Waste
Reports).
The
revised
number
of
Exception
and
Discrepancy
Reports
that
will
need
to
be
submitted
was
reduced
to
represent
roughly
10
percent
of
the
total
226
telephone
calls
that
disposers
will
make
to
resolve
discrepancies
(
that
is,
about
90
percent
of
the
calls
that
disposers
make
to
resolve
discrepancies
are
resolved
and
do
not
require
the
submission
of
a
report,
but
10
percent
of
the
discrepancies
do
not
get
resolved
by
phone
and
must
be
written
up
in
a
report
and
submitted
to
EPA).
The
total
number
of
Unmanifested
Waste
Reports
was
estimated
based
on
EPA
Regional
averages.
These
revisions
result
in
a

The
burden
for
maintaining
annual
records
has
been
revised
based
on
additional
data
gathering
for
this
report
(
Tables
6­
3
and
6­

#

The
original
estimate
was
that
5,501
facilities
each
spend
29
hours
annually
(
159,529)
compiling
the
log,
whereas
this
report
estimates
that
6,270
waste
handlers
spend
52
hours
per
year
(
326,040)
on
this
task.
The
burden
has
been
increased
by
166,511
hours.

The
requirement
to
submit
the
annual
report
was
reported
in
both
ICR
1446
and
1729
(
Tables
6­
1
and
6­

#
41).
The
requirement
was
originally
estimated
to
be
230
hours
(
1
hour
x
230
respondents).
The
estimate
in
ICR
1729
was
588
hours
(
84
hours
x
7
new
respondents).
Based
on
the
data
gathering
effort
for
this
report,
the
burden
was
revised
to
59
hours
per
respondent
and
the
number
of
facilities
was
revised
to
265
to
reflect
additional
facilities
that
will
be
covered
under
the
new
regulation
(
i.
e.,
generators
of
waste
who
also
dispose
of
the
wastes
they
generate)
Thus,
the
burden
was
increased
to
15,635
hours
(
59
hours
x
265
facilities),

creating
an
increase
and

#
ICR
1729
(
1,785,543
hours)
 
A
number
of
revisions
were
made
to
the
estimate
for
requirements
in
ICR
1729.

(
1)
A
major
change
for
estimating
the
paperwork
burden
associated
with
the
PCB
requirements
is
that
the
training
burden
for
this
Consolidated
ICR
represents
only
the
information
collection
requirement
burdens,
exclusive
of
the
burden
associated
with
complying
with
the
PCB
regulations
overall.
The
existing
ICR
for
the
Disposal
Amendments
included
a
training
burden
for
all
the
requirements
of
that
rule;
i.
e.,
1,246,480
hours
annually.
In
this
Consolidated
ICR
1729,
EPA
accounts
for
this
training
burden
by
taking
10%
of
the
burden
for
each
new
information
collection,
or
9,221
hours
annually.
(
See
Tables
6­
4
to
6­
6
for
requirements
that
are
associated
with
training
burdens.
Total
burden
for
training
was
obtained
by
adding
10
percent
of
the
hours
for
each
of
the
requirements
where
training
is
a
factor.)
Thus,
this
revision
results
in
a
program
adjustment
and
a
reduction
of
1,237,259
hours
(
1,246,480
­
9,221).
Note
that
since
the
bulk
of
the
information
requirements
have
not
changed
since
1989,
EPA
assumes
there
is
less
of
a
need
to
train
staff
on
those
provisions.
(­
1,237,259­
hour
program
adjustment)

(

Another
program
adjustment
relates
to
the
transformer
registration
requirement
(
Table
6­
1
and
6­
4,
#
3).
ICR
1729
estimated
that
the
owners
of
62,500
PCB
Transformers
used
by
industry
must
spend
2
hours
per
transformer
by
12/
28/
98
to
register
this
equipment
and
that
3,005
utility
managers
would
spend
10
hours
each
registering
their
PCB
Transformers
for
an
industry
total
of
155,050
burden
hours.
Because
this
deadline
has
past,
it
is
now
assumed
that
only
500
PCB
Transformers
will
be
subject
to
registration
requirements
each
year
at
1
hour
per
unit.
This
provides
an
industry­
wide
savings
of
154,550
hours.
(­
154,550­
hour
program
adjustment)

(

A
program
adjustment
is
being
made
to
account
for
the
requirement
that
the
owner
of
a
facility
must
notify
EPA
when
he
wants
to
exceed
the
5­
year
storage
for
reuse
limitation.
ICR
1729
contained
a
burden
of
550
hours
for
industry
to
notify
EPA
regarding
PCB
Articles
stored
for
reuse.
However,
the
Consolidated
ICR
anticipates
that
there
will
be
no
respondents
for
this
requirement
during
the
initial
3­
year
clearance
period
for
this
Consolidated
ICR
(
e.
g.,
2002),
because
it
is
assumed
that
individuals
complying
with
§
761.35(
a),
which
grants
a
5­
year
storage
period,
would
not
need
to
request
extended
storage
beyond
2003.

As
explained
in

of
this
supporting
statement,
the
estimate
reported
in
the
original
ICR
(
i.

should
have
read
28,384

Based
on
consultation
with
industry
representatives
and
consultants
(
see
Appendix
E),
the
estimate
for
preparing
SPCC
plans
for
temporary
storage
of
certain
PCBs
in
containers
was
revised
(
Tables
6­
3
and
6­
6,
#
85).
The
revised
estimate
is
that
5
new
respondents
will
spend
60
hours
each
and
10
respondents
will
spend
2
hours
each
adapting
plans,
for
a
total
of
320
hours.
The
previous
estimate
was
based
on
500
new
respondents
and
2,700
facility
owners
who
would
need
to
adapt
plans
during
the
first
year
(
particularly
utility
owners
who
still
possessed
equipment
that
contained
PCBs),
and
50
respondents
in
subsequent
years,
for
a
total
of
35,400
hours
at
the
same
60­
and
2­
hour
rates.
This
program
adjustment
equals
a
savings
of
35,080
hours.

Estimates
related
to
the
reporting
and
recordkeeping
for
voltage
regulators
(
i.

are
included
as

of
the
estimate
for

for
equipment
transfers,
§

is
also
now

Note
that
the

include
estimates
for
the
annual

for
all

EPA
allowed

was
overturned
by
the
Courts.
By
not

#
Reclassification
Rule
(
not
in
inventory)
 
The
actual
burden
for
handling
the
recordkeeping
requirements
for
PCB
Transformers
will
decrease
upon
implementation
of
the
Reclassification
Rule
because
owners
of
reclassified
PCB
Transformers
will
no
longer
be
subject
to
the
inspection
and
recordkeeping
requirements
for
this
reclassified
equipment.
As
indicated
in
the
Small
Entity
Impact
6­
52
Analysis
for
the
Reclassification
Rule
(
U.
S.
EPA,
1998d),
13
percent
of
the
estimated
60,200
pieces
of
equipment
that
will
be
reclassified
are
PCB
Transformers
(
7,826).
It
is
assumed
that
50
percent
of
these
transformers
(
3,913)
are
inspected
annually
and
50
percent
are
inspected
quarterly.
Thus,
the
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
equipment
is
1,623
hours
[(
0.083
x
3,913)
+
(
0.083
x
3,913
x
4)].
(
see
Tables
6­
3
and
6­
6,
#
74a­
d
and
75).
This
decrease
in
burden
is
the
result
of
a
program
change
associated
with
the
final
Reclassification
Rule.
It
is
estimated
to
be
a
savings
of
1,623
hours
annually.
(­
1,623­
hour
program
change)

The
estimate
in
the
proposed
ICR
for
keeping
records
of
reclassified
transformers
reflects
the
greatest
possible
number
of
hours
that
could
be
attributed
to
reclassifying
one­
third
of
an
estimated
2,000,000
PCB
and
PCB­
Contaminated
Transformers
over
a
3­
year
period
(
total
hours
=
166,667
hours).
Information
gathered
for
this
report,
however,
indicates
that
only
60,200
transformers
are
likely
to
be
reclassified
(
U.
S.
EPA,
1998a).
Using
the
assumptions
made
in
the
small
entity
impact
analysis
for
the
final
rule
(
EPA,
1998d),
the
burden
for
keeping
reclassification
records
is
15
minutes
per
piece
of
equipment.
Therefore,
EPA
estimates
the
burden
for
keeping
records
of
equipment
reclassifications
to
be
15,050
hours
(
see
Tables
6­
3
and
6­
6,
#
75).
This
burden
represents
an
increase
to
the
PCB
information
collections
as
a
result
of
a
program
change
associated
with
the
final
Reclassification
Rule.
(+
15,050­
hour
program
change)

#
The
Consolidated
ICR
also
includes
burden
estimates
for
existing
information
collections
that
were
never
captured
by
previous
ICRs.
This
total
comes
to
205,573
hours
(
see
Tables
6­
1
to
6­
6,
#
s
4,
23,

70,
86,

89,
92,
96,
97,
98,
and
103).
Some
of
the
"
newly
captured"
requirements
are
as
follows.
Establishing
and
maintaining
records
for
storing
PCB
Items
for
disposal
(
Tables
6­
3
and
6­
6,
#
88)
was
accounted
for
by
estimating
it
would
take
110
commercial
storers
843
hours
each
to
comply
with
this
requirement,
for
a
total
of
92,730
hours.
Maintaining
records
of
cleanup
and
certification
of
decontamination
(
Tables
6­
3
and
6­
6,
#
97)
was
accounted
for
by
assuming
it
would
take
8
hours
for
each
of
6,780
sets
of
records,
for
a
total
of
54,240
hours.
Attaching
a
notation
to
PCB
Items
and
Containers
was
accounted
for
by
estimating
it
would
take
5
minutes
each
for
380,000
PCB
Items,
Containers,
and
Article
Containers,
for
a
total
of
31,540
hours
(
Table
6­
2
and
6­
5,
#
65).
Placing
a
label
or
notice
of
PCB
contamination
at
cleanup
sites
was
estimated
to
take
1
hour
at
each
of
6,780
sites
(
Table
6­
5,
#
68).
(+
205,573­
hour
program
adjustment)

The
changes
to
the
burden
hours
between
the
existing
ICRs
and
the
Consolidated
ICR
are
summarized
in
Table
6­
11.
To
accurately
compare
the
burden
for
the
requirements
presented
in
the
Consolidated
ICR
to
the
combined
totals
of
the
original
ICRs,
it
is
necessary
to
subtract
the
total
hours
for
the
newly
captured
burdens
and
the
Reclassification
Rule
from
the
total
for
the
Consolidated
ICR
because
these
hours
have
never
been
represented
in
any
of
the
existing
ICRs.
The
modifications
due
to
program
6­
53
changes
and
adjustments
for
requirements
within
OMB's
inventory
burdens
can
then
be
determined.
The
decrease
to
the
total
burden
based
on
program
changes
and
adjustments
(
i.
e.,
­
1,447,626
hours,
Table
6­
10)

represents
about
97.5
percent
of
the
1,485,357­
hour
net
decrease
in
the
OMB
inventory:
[(­
1,447,626
÷
1,485,357)
x
100].
The
remainder
of
the
difference
(
37,731
hours)
can
be
attributed
to
both
rounding
off
of
figures
generated
by
the
spreadsheets
of
Tables
6­
4
through
6­
6,
as
well
as
a
margin
of
error
associated
with
the
vast
number
of
calculations
that
have
been
factored
into
this
analysis.

INTRODUCTION
This
report
summarizes
the
information
gathered
for
the
Consolidated
ICR
Supporting
Statement
Covering
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
761.
This
effort
was
necessary
to
update
data
initially
contained
in
the
Information
Collection
Requests
(
ICRs)
that
are
being
incorporated
into
the
consolidated
ICR.
The
report
draws
conclusions
regarding
the
data
previously
used
and
their
suitability
for
continued
use
in
the
consolidated
report.
These
ICRs

This
report
also
summarizes
new
information
collected
for
the
paperwork
requirements
in
40
CFR
761
for
which
no
estimates
of
burden
were
available.

1.1
Data
Gathering
Approach
ERG
reviewed
all
of
the
underlying
burden
and
cost
assumptions
of
the
various
reporting
and
recordkeeping
activities
from
the
existing
ICRs
and
determined
that
much
of
the
data
are
still
valid.
For
the
data
that
require
validation
or
updating
and
for
new
data
required,
EPA
determined
that
industry
representatives
should
be
contacted
to
the
extent
necessary
to
gain
a
greater
understanding
of
the
issues
at
hand.
Thus,
ERG
contacted
up
to
nine
respondents
from
each
PCB
handling
group
(
such
as
disposers
operating
landfills
or
incinerators;
disposers
holding
alternate
disposal
permits;
commercial
storers;
equipment
owners;
and
manufacturers
with
exemptions
and
exclusions)
who
have
had
experience
with
the
particular
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
under
discussion.
1
Data
were
gathered
during
July
1998
for
the
preparation
of
the
draft
consolidated
ICR
and
during
March
and
April
1999
for
preparing
the
final
report.

ERG
is
aware
that
data
gathered
from
this
type
of
limited
effort
can
be
quite
variable
and
might
not
represent
all
industry
views.
1.2
Information
Sources
Industry
contacts
were
selected
from
EPA
lists
of
companies
that
have
submitted
commercial
storage
applications
and
those
that
have
been
granted
commercial
permits
to
dispose
of
PCBs
(
EPA,
1998a
and
b).

ERG
also
contacted
electric
utility
representatives
and
ERG
consultants
who
have
provided
expert
information
in
the
past,
including
individuals
contacted
by
ERG
during
the
preparation
of
the
Cost
Impacts
of
the
Final
Regulation
Amending
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
761
(
EPA,
1998c).
Some
individuals,
such
as
those
who
work
for
companies
that
are
both
approved
disposers
and
commercial
storers,
were
able
to
respond
to
several
of
the
questions.
Another
sector
contacted
included
companies
that
have
submitted
requests
for
extensions
to
PCB
exemptions.

In
addition
to
industry
contacts,
ERG
extracted
data
from
several
current
EPA
reports.
Several
OPPT
staff
members,
who
work
closely
with
information
submitted
by
PCB
waste
handlers,
also
provided
up­
to­
date
information
for
this
effort.

DISCUSSION
The
following
discussion
summarizes
the
information
gathered
from
this
survey.
In
some
cases,

respondents
provided
information
on
past
work
loads.
Other
respondents
anticipated
future
work
loads
and
explained
the
basis
for
the
estimations.
Information
on
both
past
and
upcoming
work
will
be
used
to
revise
the
estimates
of
the
paperwork
burdens
in
the
consolidated
ICR.

3.1
Disposal
Permit
Applications
Sections
761.60(
e),
.70(
d),
and
.75(
c)
require
disposal
facilities
to
submit
applications
and,
in
some
instances,
demonstration
plans
to
obtain
approvals
for
operating
incinerators,
chemical
waste
landfills,
and
alternate
technologies.
Several
respondents
suggested
that
there
probably
is
a
broad
range
in
application
costs,
which
are
influenced
by
the
size
of
the
company,
the
disposal
technology
proposed,
and
the
nature
of
the
wastes
being
disposed
(
Kuntz,
1998
and
Zayatz,
1998).
They
also
indicated
that
application
costs
are
likely
to
be
substantial,
due
to
the
complexity
and
volume
of
the
material
that
must
be
submitted.

A
representative
from
H.
E.
L.
P.
E.
R,
Inc,
a
company
that
holds
a
permit
to
process
PCB
electrical
cable
from
Navy
vessels
for
metal
recovery,
estimated
that
his
company
spent
roughly
"
thousands
of
hours"

preparing
its
disposal
permit
application,
including
conducting
onsite
demonstration
tests
(
Shafer,
1998).
The
process
took
about
four
years
to
complete
and
included
several
modifications
and
amendments
requested
by
EPA
to
address
identified
deficiencies
in
order
to
enable
the
Agency
to
make
the
finding
that
the
technology
did
not
pose
an
unreasonable
risk.
The
permitting
manager
from
Chemical
Waste
Management
Services,
in
Model
City,
NY,
said
it
took
his
company
about
two
years
to
put
its
application
together,
which
is
ten
volumes
long
(
Hino,
1999).
Modifying
the
application,
however,
normally
takes
about
one
hour.
Kuntz
estimated
that
it
costs
from
$
100,000
to
$
500,000
($
300,000
average)
and
over
4,000
man­
hours
at
a
rate
of
$
72
per
hour
for
the
owners
of
an
incinerator
to
apply
for
an
approval
to
dispose
of
PCBs,
including
the
costs
of
conducting
a
trial
burn.
The
$
72
rate
was
the
one
used
in
ICR
1012.

The
original
estimate
contained
in
ICR
1012
for
preparing
a
disposal
application
was
940
hours
for
managers,
technical
staff,
and
consulting
engineers
to
conduct
the
work
at
a
composite
rate
of
$
72
per
hour.

These
hours
represent
the
average
time
it
takes
to
prepare
the
two
types
of
disposal
permits,
those
for
conducting
research
and
development
into
PCB
disposal,
and
those
to
conduct
commercial
disposal
of
PCBs.
E­
7
In
ICR
1012,
the
range
of
hours
to
prepare
the
commercial
applications
was
700
to
1,060
hours,
and
40
to
80
hours
for
R&
D
approvals.
Based
on
this
data
collection
effort,
it
seems
reasonable
to
raise
the
upper
end
of
the
estimate
for
commercial
disposal
approvals
to
3,000
hours,
whereas
the
estimate
used
for
R&
D
approvals
is
consistent
with
the
estimate
used
in
the
cost
analysis
for
the
Final
Rule
(
EPA,
1998c).
Adding
these
R&
D
approval
requirements
to
the
range
generates
on
estimate
of
740
to
3,080
hours,
and
a
revised
average
of
1,910
hours.
At
a
rate
of
$
72
per
hour,
it
would
cost
an
average
of
$
137,520
to
prepare
an
application
for
a
disposal
permit.

An
industry
consultant
anticipated
that
no
respondents
would
spend
an
estimated
2,000
hours
seeking
approval
to
use
alternate
measures
for
operating
incinerators,
as
per
§
761.70(
a)(
8),
(
9),
and
(
d)(
5),
because
it
was
assumed
that
if
a
facility
does
not
meet
the
performance
criteria,
it
simply
will
not
accept
the
PCB
waste
(
Kuntz,
1999).

3.2
State/
Local
Notifications
Section
761.60(
f)(
1)(
i)
requires
disposal
facilities
to
notify
State
and
local
officials
prior
to
the
first
use
of
an
approved
disposal
technology
(
i.
e.,
prior
to
the
first
use
of
a
mobile
unit
at
each
site).
The
alternate
technologies
that
require
and
have
received
EPA
approval
to
operate
in
all
ten
EPA
Regions
(
i.
e.,
the
technologies
considered
to
be
mobile)
are
incineration,
alternate
thermal
destruction,
chemical
dechlorination,

physical
separation,
and
pipeline
removal.
[
Another
mobile
technology,
pipeline
and
compressor
system
decontamination,
has
also
been
approved
by
EPA,
but
this
technology
no
longer
requires
approval,
as
per
the
Final
PCB
Disposal
Rule
(
63
FR
35384,
6/
29/
98),
§
761.79(
c)(
5),
and
owners
of
this
type
of
equipment
are
not
required
to
notify
State/
local
authorities
in
this
regard].
The
companies
employing
these
approved
technologies
are
discussed
below.
In
general,
respondents
indicated
that
because
mobile
units
vary
from
onsite
incinerators
to
trucks
that
are
used
to
pump
out
the
liquids
from
PCB
Transformers,
the
units
can
remain
at
a
site
from
several
hours
to
several
years,
and
the
total
number
of
times
per
year
a
unit
is
situated
at
a
new
site
can
vary
from
none
to
several
hundred
(
Hunnicut,
1998;
Kuntz,
1998;
and
Reno,
1998).

EPA
presently
permits
one
company,
Weston,
to
operate
a
mobile
incinerator
(
EPA,
1998a).
Mobile
incinerators
typically
remain
at
a
site
for
about
one
year
(
Kuntz,
1998).
Geosafe
Corporation
holds
the
only
EPA
permit
to
operate
a
vitrification
unit
(
i.
e.,
thermal
destruction
unit),
which
also
remains
onsite
for
about
one
year
(
EPA,
1998a
and
Haass,
1998).
E­
8
ENSR
Operations
is
permitted
to
operate
mobile
units
that
dechlorinate
PCB
Transformers
(
EPA,

1998a).
The
length
of
time
the
equipment
remains
at
a
site
varies
from
1
day
to
2
weeks
(
Reno,
1998).

ENSR
presently
has
about
25
contracts
which
are
supported
by
2
mobile
units.
For
these
contracts,
each
unit
operates
at
a
varying
number
of
sites,
and
specific
totals
per
contract
were
not
provided.
A
total
of
4
sites
per
unit
(
i.
e.,
8
sites
per
contract;
200
total
sites
for
ENSR
per
year)
was
estimated
for
this
effort.
In
the
past,
the
company
had
about
135
contracts
and
4
mobile
units.
The
decline
in
the
total
number
of
contracts
is
attributed
to
the
reduction
in
the
number
of
PCB
Transformers
still
in
use
or
storage.
The
company
representative
stated
that
ENSR
is
the
only
company
presently
operating
this
type
of
equipment,
although
several
other
firms
hold
permits
to
do
so
(
EPA,
1998a
and
Reno,
1998).

Terra­
Kleen
Response
Group,
Inc.
holds
a
permit
to
operate
two
soil
washing/
solvent
extraction
units
(
i.
e.,
physical
separation
units)
(
EPA,
1998a).
Each
unit
remains
at
a
site
for
about
one
year
(
Cash,
1998).

General
Electric
also
holds
a
permit
to
operate
physical
separation
units
(
EPA,
1998a).

A
representative
from
Environmental
Technologies
Unlimited
Corporation,
a
company
permitted
to
operate
mobile
pipeline
and
air
compressor
decontamination
equipment,
stated
that
mobile
solvent
extraction
units
typically
remain
at
a
site
for
about
18
to
24
months
(
EPA,
1998a
and
Hunnicut,
1998).
The
representative
estimated
that
this
technology
will
be
used
at
about
300
sites
nationwide,
the
approximate
number
of
sites
that
contain
PCBs
on
the
National
Priorities
List.
He
also
suggested
that
the
disposal
of
some
contaminated
components
from
dismantled
Navy
vessels
may
be
handled
via
mobile
units.

An
environmental
coordinator
with
Texas
Gas
Transmission
Company
said
that
although
his
and
other
natural
gas
companies
have
received
permits
to
dispose
of
PCBs
in
all
ten
EPA
Regions,
these
permits
cover
the
wipe
sampling
of
segments
of
pipe
that
are
being
replaced
for
various
reasons,
such
as
to
upgrade
pipes
for
a
new
development
or
to
improve
pipes
under
roads
that
are
being
widened
(
Webster,
1998).
These
activities
do
not
require
State/
local
notification.

It
was
estimated
for
the
Consolidated
ICR
that
there
will
be
about
300
unique
sites
where
mobile
units
will
operate,
an
increase
in
the
ICR
1446
estimate,
which
was
about
200
sites.
The
revised
estimate
assumes
that
the
mobile
incinerator,
vitrification
unit,
and
physical
separation
units
will
operate
at
1
site
each
per
year
for
a
total
of
5
sites;
dechlorination
units
for
PCB
Transformers
will
operate
at
about
200
substations
per
year;

solvent
extraction
units
will
be
located
at
about
50
sites;
and
there
might
be
about
45
additional
E­
9
sites
that
will
be
cleaned
up
using
newly
permitted
mobile
technologies.
Thus
there
will
be
600
notifications
sent
to
State
and
local
authorities
when
each
of
the
mobile
units
operates
at
a
new
site
(
2
per
site;
1
for
the
State
authority
and
1
for
the
local
authority).

Respondents
suggested
that
with
form
letters,
the
time
to
prepare
each
notification
is
about
15
minutes
(
Decker,
1998
and
Hunnicut,
1998).
Note
that
one
respondent
estimated
that
it
can
take
several
hours
to
complete
a
notification
for
a
local
authority,
if
it
must
first
be
determined
within
which
jurisdiction
a
remote
site
(
substation)
is
located
(
Reno,
1998a).
To
account
for
the
notifications
that
will
require
some
research,
it
was
estimated
that
the
time
to
prepare
each
notification
would
take
about
½
hour
 
20
minutes
for
a
compliance
specialist
(
technical
staff)
to
gather
the
information
and
10
minutes
for
a
clerk
to
complete
the
notification.
This
estimate
provides
a
more
detailed
approximation
for
the
State
and
local
notification
requirement
than
the
one
provided
in
ICR
1446,
which
grouped
all
third­
party
notification
activities
into
one
overall
time
estimate
of
1.4
hours.
The
revised
annual
burden
for
this
provision
is
thus
estimated
to
be
300
hours
and
$
10,996
[(
0.167
hours
x
600
x
$
22/
hour)
+
(
0.333
hours
x
600
x
$
44/
hour)].

3.3
The
Manifest
Sections
761.207(
a)
and
208(
a)(
2)
and
(
3)
require
PCB
waste
generators
to
prepare
manifests
and
generators
and
transporters
to
provide
the
generator­
initiated
manifests
to
each
transporter
or
designated
commercial
storage
or
disposal
facility.
Industry
representatives
said
it
takes
from
a
few
minutes
to
about
one
hour
to
complete
a
manifest,
depending
on
the
nature
of
the
waste
and
the
familiarity
with
the
process.

For
example,
the
manifest
for
a
straightforward
shipment
of
one
type
of
waste
can
be
completed
quickly
whereas
a
manifest
for
a
shipment
that
includes
some
combination
of
transformers,
capacitors,
ballasts,

containerized
units,
and
the
like,
will
take
longer
to
complete.
Likewise,
it
will
take
a
person
familiar
with
the
process
just
a
few
minutes
to
complete
a
manifest,
while
it
would
take
a
person
unfamiliar
with
the
process
about
one­
half
hour
or
more.
(
Chambers,
1999;
Daniel,
1999;
Kelly,
1999;
Lombard,
1999;
Trower,
1999;
and
Yokum,
1999).
In
comments
submitted
to
EPA
and
OMB,
Florida
Power
Corporation
said
that
it
takes
them
10
hours
per
year
to
complete
manifests
(
Gridley,
1995).
This
would
be
less
than
one
hour
each
month.

Based
on
this
data
gathering
effort,
there
is
no
justification
for
revising
the
estimate
of
10
minutes
per
manifest,
as
included
in
ICR
1446.

3.4
Certificates
of
Disposal
Effective
August
28,
1998,
§
761.218(
b)
clarifies
that
PCB
waste
disposers
are
to
send
Certificates
of
Disposal
(
CDS)
to
waste
generators
within
30
days
of
disposal
of
each
item
on
a
manifested
waste
shipment.
Respondents
suggested
that
it
could
take
from
five
minutes
to
about
one­
half
hour
to
fill
out
CDS
(
Kuntz,
1998;
Yocum,
1998;
and
Zayatz,
1998).
The
variance
in
time
is
due
to
the
different
ways
the
manifest
information
is
formatted
and
presented
to
the
disposer.
An
environmental
compliance
specialist
at
H.
E.
L.
P.
E.
R.,
Inc,
stated
that
it
takes
up
to
one­
half
hour
per
item
if
all
the
relevant
data
must
be
entered
on
the
CD
(
Yocum,
1998).
As
per
§
761.218(
a),
this
information
includes
the
name/
address/
identification
number
of
the
disposal
facility;
identification
of
the
waste/
waste
manifest
number;
a
statement
with
the
date/
process
of
disposal;
and
certification.
When
the
format
of
a
manifest
is
such
that
the
disposed
item
can
be
checked
off
a
list,
it
takes
very
little
time
to
complete
the
CD
per
item.

A
representative
from
Chemical
Waste
Management,
in
Model
City,
NY,
and
a
PCB
industry
consultant,
also
suggested
that
the
time
it
takes
to
fill
out
a
CD
is
dependent
on
the
complexity
of
the
waste
streams
(
Zayatz,
1998
and
Kuntz,
1998,
respectively).
They
suggested
that
the
time
to
complete
the
form
will
vary
widely
with
circumstances.

This
data
collection
effort
shows
that
even
when
a
facility
must
input
data
for
each
item,
most
of
the
required
information
will
be
readily
available
for
a
majority
of
cases.
Thus,
the
existing
estimate
used
in
ICR
1446
to
complete
a
CD
(
i.
e.,
15
minutes)
will
be
retained.

annual
reports
E­
11
for
their
PCB
operations.

All
companies
contacted
for
this
survey
used
a
computerized
tracking
system
for
recordkeeping.
The
Compliance
Officer
for
Safety­
Kleen
PCB
Services
Division
in
Twinsburg,
OH,
said
that
four
of
the
company's
five
facilities
employ
two
full­
time
recordkeepers,
and
one
facility
(
i.
e.,
in
Tucker,
GA)
employs
one
full­
time
recordkeeper
to
track
PCB
information.
Each
of
these
facilities
are
relatively
small.
For
example,
their
facility
in
Ashtabula,
OH,
employs
a
total
of
25
people
(
Chambers,
1999).
It
takes
each
facility
about
3
months
to
compile
the
annual
log
(
520
hours
per
year).
There
are
2,000
pieces
of
paper
to
print
out
and
review.
It
takes
from
3
to
5
days
to
do
the
annual
report
(
24
to
40
hours;
32
hours
average).
The
recordkeeper
for
Safety­
Kleen
PCB
Services
in
Tucker,
GA,
said
that
she
spends
10
hours
per
week
transferring
the
required
information
into
an
annual
document
log
(
520
hours/
year)
(
Daniel,
1999).
She
spends
an
additional
10
hours
each
week
over
a
four
month
period
creating
the
annual
report
(
173
hours
per
year).

The
recordkeeper
for
Chemical
Waste
Management
Chemical
Services
(
CWM),
in
Model
City,
NY,

enters
information
into
the
PCB
log
every
day.
Two
people
work
on
the
log
4
hours
each
day
for
a
company
total
of
8
hours
per
day,
or
40
hours
per
week
and
2,080
hours
per
year.
In
general,
the
recordkeeping
is
faster
now
because
the
task
is
partially
computerized.
The
Environmental
Officer
for
CWM's
chemical
waste
landfill
in
Emelle,
AL,
said
that
in
1997,
this
facility
handled
153,767
tons
of
waste
total,
63
percent
(
102,710
tons)
of
which
contains
PCBs
(
Goodwin,
1999).
Some
of
the
data
for
the
annual
log
is
entered
into
the
company's
system
when
the
waste
arrives,
such
as
drum
number
and
weight.
In
addition,
the
Emelle
facility
has
two
full­
time
recordkeepers,
so
that
the
staff
at
this
facility
spends
about
11
hours
total
each
day
tracking
information
for
the
PCB
annual
log
(
i.
e.,
63
percent
of
16
hours).
Based
on
11
hours
each
day
total,

recordkeepers
spend
55
hours
per
week
(
2,860
hours
per
year)
entering
information
in
the
PCB
annual
log.

One
of
the
recordkeepers
said
that
it
takes
about
one
week
to
compile
the
annual
report
(
40
hours)
(
Oliver,

1999).
The
information
comes
from
monthly
reports,
which
takes
about
one
hour
each
month
to
generate.

The
staff
of
the
chemical
waste
landfill
run
by
the
Environmental
Quality
Company
in
Belleville,
MI,

spend
60
hours
per
quarter
(
i.
e.,
240
hours
per
year;
4.6
hours
per
week)
generating
the
annual
log
and
73
hours
per
year
generating
the
annual
report
(
Baker,
1999).
The
time
to
produce
the
annual
report
includes
33
hours
to
print
out
the
information
and
40
hours
to
audit
it.
At
Transformer
Consultants
in
Talmadge,
OH,

it
takes
one
person
a
few
hours
a
day
to
compile
data
for
the
annual
log
(
520
hours/
year)
(
Kelly,
1999).
The
E­
12
Plant
Supervisor
at
Hevi­
Duty
Electric,
in
Berwick,
PA,
said
it
takes
about
one­
half
hour
each
day
doing
the
annual
log
or
130
hours
per
year
(
Vezendy,
1999).
The
company's
central
office
generates
the
annual
report.

Table
1
shows
the
total
number
of
hours
per
facility
for
compiling
the
annual
log
and
report
and
the
average
number
of
hours
for
the
facilities
contacted
for
this
survey.

The
information
collected
for
this
small
survey
confirms
that
the
time
to
compile
the
annual
log
and
report
varies
widely.
To
interpret
this
information,
the
facilities
were
divided
into
the
two
groups:
(
1)
the
230
major
handlers
who
are
permitted
to
commercially
store
and
dispose
of
PCBs,
and
(
2)
the
remainder
of
the
6,500
facilities
that
hold
EPA
identification
numbers
(
6,270
waste
handlers)
and
typically
handle
PCB
wastes
less
frequently
and
in
lesser
quantities.
Based
on
this
survey,
commercial
storers/
disposers
(
Group
1)
require
an
average
of
16.21
hours
per
week
or
843
hours
per
year
to
compile
the
annual
log
(
see
Table
1).
It
was
also
judged
that
the
over
6,000
minor
waste
handlers
(
Group
2)
are
not
well
represented
by
the
data
provided
by
the
commercial
storers
and
disposers
contacted
for
this
survey.
It
was
assumed
that
the
time
for
these
facilities
to
compile
the
annual
log
could
vary
from
occasional
recordkeeping
to
a
few
hours
each
week,
for
an
average
of
1
hour
per
week
(
52
hours
per
year).

Based
on
this
study,
EPA
increased
the
total
hours
for
preparing
the
annual
log
from
29
hours
per
year,
as
reported
in
ICR
1446,
to
a
range
of
52
to
843
hours
per
year,
for
minor
and
major
waste
handlers,

respectively.
The
average
number
of
hours
to
compile
the
annual
report
is
59
hours.
This
time
is
decreased
from
the
84
hours
reported
for
this
task
in
the
Cost
Analysis
for
the
Final
Rule
(
EPA,
1998c).

Commercial
Storage
Approval
Applications
and
the
SPCC
Plan
Section
761.65(
d)
requires
owners/
operators
of
commercial
storage
facilities
to
prepare
and
submit
an
application
for
approval
to
operate
the
facility.
A
representative
from
H.
E.
L.
P.
E.
R
estimated
that
the
company
spent
several
hundred
hours
(
i.
e.,
about
$
10,000)
developing
the
closure
plan
and
financial
assurance
mechanisms
and
used
additional
funds
to
maintain
the
financial
assurances
(
Shafer,
1998).

A
representative
from
Heritage
Environmental,
a
permitted
commercial
storer,
estimated
that
his
company
spent
from
30
to
40
hours
(
i.
e.,
about
$
2,500)
preparing
its
application,
including
the
closure
plan
and
financial
assurance
information
(
MacNamara,
1998).
A
smaller
facility
would
bear
lower
costs
to
prepare
an
application
for
commercial
storage
approval
and
a
more
complex
facility
would
likely
spend
more.

Environmental
Enterprises,
an
approved
PCB
commercial
storage
facility,
spent
about
$
17,000,

in­
house,
preparing
its
application
for
commercial
storage
approval,
including
about
$
2,000
to
prepare
the
closure
plan
and
financial
assurance
mechanisms
(
Davis,
1998).
The
company
representative
estimated
it
would
have
cost
about
$
25,000
for
an
outside
consultant
to
prepare
the
application.
He
also
stated
that
the
company
spends
about
$
3,000
per
year
to
update
its
financial
assurance
mechanisms
and
maintain
its
letter
of
credit.

An
industry
consultant
suggested
that
it
takes
about
2
man­
months
(
400
managerial
and
technical
hours)
to
gather
the
required
paperwork,
including
the
financial
assurance
information
(
Kuntz,
1998).
The
representative
estimated
that
the
paperwork
to
get
financial
assurance
represents
about
10
to
15
pages
of
information,
some
of
which
must
be
included
on
the
general
application,
as
well.
It
costs
an
estimated
$
50,000
to
$
100,000
to
have
an
engineering
firm
prepare
a
closure
plan.
Storage
facilities
spend
from
$
10,000
to
$
20,000
per
year
maintaining
financial
assurance.

A
representative
from
Chemical
Waste
Management
suggested
that
there
is
a
broad
range
in
costs
to
prepare
a
commercial
storage
application.
She
also
suggested
that
with
the
passage
of
the
Final
PCB
Disposal
Rule
facilities
will
be
able
to
store
PCB
Items
beyond
the
1­
year
deadline
for
disposal,
if
extended
storage
becomes
necessary,
when
approved
by
EPA
[
see
§
761.65(
a)(
2)]
(
EPA,
1998d
and
Zayatz,
1998).

Zayatz
also
suggested
that
the
overall
cost
to
prepare
an
application
is
determined
by
the
extent
of
the
storage
E­
15
that
will
take
place
(
i.
e.,
the
larger
the
facility,
the
greater
the
expense
in
compiling
a
commercial
storage
application).
Based
on
this
data
collection
effort,
there
is
insufficient
justification
for
adjusting
the
estimate
contained
in
ICR
1446
of
392
hours
to
prepare
an
application
for
commercial
storage
approval.

Section
761.65(
c)(
1)(
iv)
requires
anybody
who
wishes
to
temporarily
store
PCB
containers
with
>
500
ppm
of
liquid
PCB
waste
in
areas
that
do
not
comply
with
the
storage
requirements
of
§
761.65(
b)
to
modify
their
Spill
Prevention,
Control
and
Countermeasure
Plans
so
that
the
SPCC
plans
address
this
type
of
waste.

Section
761.65(
c)(
7)(
ii)
requires
owners/
operators
of
facilities
using
containers
meeting
the
requirements
of
29
CFR
1910.106
for
the
storage
of
PCB
wastes
to
prepare
a
SPCC
Plan.

The
Compliance
Officer
for
H.
E.
L.
P.
E.
R
said
that
it
takes
him
one
day
to
revise
the
SPCC
plan,

when
necessary
(
Yokum,
1999).
The
Permitting
Manager
for
Chemical
Waste
Management
Chemical
Services
at
Model
City,
NY,
stated
that
it
takes
two
hours
to
do
a
simple
revision
to
a
plan
involving
a
simple
change
at
the
facility
(
Hino,
1999).
This
estimate
includes
the
time
to
send
it
to
a
consulting
professional
engineer
(
PE)
to
review
and
certify
the
plan.
If
the
facility
undergoes
a
more
significant
change,
such
as
adding
a
new
process,
it
takes
eight
hours
to
revise
the
plan,
including
the
certifying
PE's
time.
The
company
works
with
a
consultant
who
is
already
familiar
with
their
facility.
The
Vice
President
of
Transformer
Disposal
Specialists
in
Tonkawa,
OK,
said
that
the
company
modified
their
SPCC
plan
one
and
one­
half
years
ago.
It
took
about
five
hours
to
modify
the
plan
(
Trower,
1999).
Judging
that
most
modifications
to
storage
areas
will
require
simple
revisions
to
SPCC
plans,
it
was
estimated
for
the
Consolidated
ICR
that
it
will
take
an
average
of
two
hours
to
revise
the
plans.
An
industry
consultant
estimated
that
there
will
be
about
ten
such
revisions
each
year
(
Kuntz,
1999).
He
estimated
that
only
five
facilities
industry
wide
will
prepare
new
plans,
as
per
§
761.65(
c)(
6)(
ii).

3.7
Records
of
PCB
Transformer
Inspection
Section
761.30(
a)(
1)(
vi)
requires
owners
of
PCB
Transformers
to
register
the
equipment
with
EPA.

As
of
December
28,
1998,
§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
vi)(
C)
requires
PCB
Transformer
owners
to
retain
registration
data
for
three
years
after
disposal
of
the
units,
and
§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
xii)
requires
owners
of
PCB
Transformers
to
maintain
records
of
inspection
and
maintenance
history
for
at
least
three
years
after
disposal
of
the
units.
An
industry
representative
estimated
that
it
takes
five
minutes
or
less
to
conduct
the
recordkeeping
for
transformers
that
have
not
leaked
(
Kuntz,
1998).
The
recordkeeping
requirements
are
more
extensive
for
those
transformers
that
have
leaked.
Recordkeepers
must
indicate
the
date
the
leak
was
discovered;
the
E­
16
location
of
the
leak;
an
estimate
of
the
amount
of
dielectric
fluid
released
from
any
leak;
the
date
of
any
cleanup,
containment,
repair
or
replacement;
a
description
of
any
cleanup,
containment,
or
repair
performed;

and
the
results
of
any
containment
and
daily
inspection
required
for
uncorrected
active
leaks.

A
regulatory
compliance
officer
for
an
electric
cooperative
in
Colorado
said
he
spends
about
30
seconds
doing
the
recordkeeping
for
PCB
Transformers
not
found
to
be
leaking
and
3
hours
to
conduct
the
paperwork
requirements
for
PCB
Transformers
found
to
be
leaking
(
Orrell,
1998).
A
review
of
the
discussions
ERG
staff
held
with
industry
representatives
for
analyzing
the
costs
associated
with
implementing
the
Final
PCB
Disposal
Rule
(
EPA,
1998c)
confirms
statements
that
utility
technicians
take
only
a
few
minutes
to
inspect
each
transformer,
including
doing
the
paperwork
when
no
leaks
have
occurred
(
Faulds,

1997;
Hansen,
1997;
and
Marston,
1997).
The
estimates
used
in
ICR
1000
of
two
minutes
to
file
and
maintain
inspection
data
will
be
retained.
It
is
likely
that
this
estimate
will
reflect
both
the
very
brief
time
it
takes
to
record
information
in
a
majority
of
cases
(
i.
e.,
for
non­
leaking
equipment)
and
the
more
lengthy
requirements
for
recording
information
for
a
small
population
of
leaking
equipment.

3.8
Transformer
Reclassification
Section
§
761.30(
a)(
2)(
v)
specifies
the
process
for
reclassifying
PCB
Transformers
for
owners
of
reclassified
equipment.
In
a
1998
analysis,
EPA
estimated
that
potentially
301,000
transformers
containing
>
50
ppm
PCBs
could
be
reclassified
each
year
(
EPA,
1998e).
Using
an
estimate
from
OPPT's
cost
analysis
for
the
Final
PCB
Disposal
Rule
that
20
percent
of
PCB
Articles
are
retrofilled
each
year,
it
is
estimated
for
the
Consolidated
ICR
that
60,200
transformers
(
301,000
transformers
x
20
percent)
will
be
retrofilled
annually
and
will
require
relevant
recordkeeping
(
OPPT,
1998c).

Included
in
the
20
percent
estimate
is
the
fact
that
electric
cooperatives
and
municipal
utilities
are
more
likely
to
retrofill
transformers
and
larger
utilities
are
more
likely
to
dispose
and
replace
PCB
Transformers
(
Kuntz,
1998).
Also,
many
utility
representatives
contacted
for
analyzing
the
costs
of
the
PCB
Disposal
Rule
(
EPA,
1998c)
indicated
that
their
organizations
prefer
to
dispose
of
PCB
Transformers
rather
than
retrofill
them
to
eliminate
any
potential
liabilities
associated
with
PCB
equipment
(
Faulds,
1997
and
1998;

Marston,
1997
and
1998
and
Sternberg,
1997).
E­
17
The
process
for
reclassifying
transformers
also
includes
an
option
for
owners
of
electrical
equipment
who
cannot
comply
with
the
reclassification
requirements;
this
option
is
referred
to
as
an
alternate
method
of
simulating
in­
service
use.
EPA
reported
that
between1993
to
1998,
the
average
number
of
companies
that
submitted
requests
for
approval
to
use
alternate
methods
to
simulate
loaded
(
in­
service)
conditions
for
reclassifying
transformers
was
38
per
year
(
i.
e,
46
requests
­
1993;
43
­
1994;

46
­
1997;

27
­
1998)
[
§
761.30(
a)(
2)(
v)].
It
is
estimated
that
these
requests,
each
averaging
two
pages
in
length
and
containing
information
on
the
transformer
size,
serial
number,
location,
and
details
on
the
test
procedure,
take
approximately
20
hours
to
prepare.

A
final
rule,
currently
under
development,
will
reduce
the
burden
associated
with
reclassifying
electrical
equipment
since
the
approval
process
will
no
longer
be
required
and
reclassified
equipment
will
no
longer
be
subject
to
the
recordkeeping
(
i.
e.,
Annual
Document
Log)
and
reporting
(
i.
e.,
Annual
Report)

requirements
for
PCB
equipment
(
EPA,
1993
and
EPA,
1998e).

3.9
Transformer
Fire
Emergency
Notification
Section
761.30(
a)(
1)(
xi)
requires
PCB
Transformer
owners
to
report
any
fire­
related
incidents
immediately
to
the
National
Response
Center.
Existing
data
from
ICR
1000
indicated
that
there
was
a
twoyear
average
of
six
PCB
fire­
related
incidents
reported
each
year
to
the
National
Response
Center.
A
1997
NRC
report
of
PCB
release
incidents
indicated
that
in1996
there
were
only
two
PCB
releases
that
involved
fires
(
NRC,
1997).
Incorporating
the
additional
year
into
the
average
brings
the
total
of
fire­
related
incidents
to
five
per
year.
Research
conducted
for
the
Economic
Analysis
for
the
Final
Rule
suggests
that
it
takes
about
ten
minutes
to
complete
one
NRC
notification
(
EPA,
1998b).

3.10
Marketing
and
Burning
Used
Oil
Sections
761.20(
e)(
3)(
ii)
and
(
4)(
i)
and
(
ii)
and
.60(
b)(
5)(
iv)(
B)
allow
used
oil
containing
any
quantifiable
levels
of
PCBs
to
be
marketed
for
energy
recovery
when
the
burners
provide
a
one­
time
certification
to
the
marketers
that
they
have
complied
with
the
notification
requirement
at
§
761.71(
a)(
2).
The
marketers
also
must
keep
certifications
of
the
analysis
documenting
the
claims
that
the
PCBs
concentration
is
<
2
ppm
PCBs.
E­
18
A
representative
of
Safety­
Kleen
PCB
Services
of
Tucker,
GA,
said
that
their
chemical
dechlorination
facility
sells
used
oil
after
it
is
treated
to
facilities
that
use
it
in
their
manufacturing
process
or
to
make
electricity.
He
is
not
aware
of
any
paperwork
burdens;
all
of
the
company's
one­
time
notifications
have
been
completed
(
Lombard,
1999).
A
representative
of
the
company's
transformer
decommissioning
facility
said
that
their
Kansas
City,
MO,
facility
also
markets
used
oil,
but
all
the
marketing
is
to
repeat
customers
that
have
been
using
the
oil
for
a
long
time
(
Chambers,
1999).
It
is
not
likely
that
the
company
will
pursue
new
customers.
The
Vice
President
of
Transformer
Disposal
Specialists,
in
Tonkawa,
OK,
said
that
the
company
used
to
sell
used
oil
but
that
burners
do
not
want
it
anymore
because
the
current
price
of
crude
oil
has
been
so
low.
He
concluded
that
there
is
no
market
for
used
oil
today
(
Trower,
1999).
For
the
Consolidated
ICR,
it
was
estimated
that
any
burdens
associated
with
the
marketing
of
used
oil
are
insignificant.

3.11
Exemption
Requirements
Sections
761.80(
e)(
1)
and
(
i)(
1)
require
manufacturers,
processors,
distributors,
and
exporters
of
PCBs
and
analytical
reference
samples
derived
from
PCB
waste
that
are
to
be
used
for
the
purpose
of
R&
D
to
submit
an
exemption
petition
in
order
to
qualify
for
one
of
the
class
exemptions
to
conduct
these
activities.

Section
761.80(
e)(
4)
requires
R&
D
facilities
to
notify
EPA
before
beginning
R&
D
activities
that
include
the
manufacture
of
PCBs.
Sections
761.80(
e)(
5)
and
(
i)(
7)
require
recordkeeping
for
activities
associated
with
the
manufacture,
processing,
or
distribution
in
commerce
of
PCBs
or
PCB
reference
samples
derived
from
PCB
waste
materials
for
R&
D.
Section
761.80(
g)(
1)
requires
facilities
that
process
and
distribute
small
quantities
of
PCBs
for
R&
D
to
keep
records
of
the
PCB
processing
and
distribution
in
commerce
activities.

Sections
760.80(
e),
(
i),
and
(
n)
require
the
submission
of
a
certification
letter
for
extending
an
exemption
for
manufacturing,
processing,
or
distributing
PCBs
in
commerce.

The
Director
of
Chemical
Standards
and
Immunoassay
Products
for
Restek,
Inc.,
a
firm
that
holds
an
exemption
to
process
and
export
small
quantities
of
PCBs
for
R&
D,
stated
that
his
firm
required
about
40
hours
to
compile
the
exemption
petition
about
9
years
ago
(
Steindl,
1999).
This
estimate
is
half
the
time
allotted
for
this
task
in
ICR
857.
The
company
routinely
tracks
product
sales
and
all
PCB
recordkeeping
is
extracted
from
their
computer­
based
database.
He
does
not
consider
the
recordkeeping
requirements
to
be
a
significant
burden.
The
average
number
of
petitions
submitted
to
EPA
is
three
per
year,
which
is
an
increase
from
the
previous
estimate
of
one
per
year
(
ICR
857).
E­
19
The
renewal
process
is
not
difficult
(
Steindl,
1999).
A
review
of
several
of
the
certification
letters
EPA
has
received
over
the
past
few
years
confirms
that
the
brief
form
letters
can
be
updated
each
year
in
about
one
hour
(
one­
half
hour
for
a
manager
to
compile
and
review
the
information
and
one­
half
hour
for
a
clerk
to
prepare
and
submit
the
letter).
Based
on
this
information,
it
was
estimated
that
it
will
take
an
average
of
40
hours
to
compile
the
exemption
petition,
20
hours
to
notify
EPA
before
beginning
R&
D
activities,
a
process
presumed
to
be
less
involved
than
compiling
the
exemption
petition,
and
1
hour
to
request
the
renewal
of
an
exemption.

3.12
Certification
Notification
for
Manufacturing
Exclusion
Sections
761.1
and
Subpart
J,
§
§
761.185(
a)
and
(
b)
and
.187,
require
manufacturers
who
inadvertently
generate
PCBs
and
importers
of
products
containing
inadvertently
generated
PCBs
to
notify
EPA
and
certify
that
the
processes
comply
with
all
PCB
release
conditions
on
excluded
processes.
Sections
761.185(
c)
and
(
d)
and
.193
also
contain
record
retention
requirements
for
a
period
of
three
years
after
the
operations
cease.
It
was
judged
that
it
would
take
24
hours
per
year
(
6
hours
per
quarter)
to
notify
EPA
when
releases
of
PCBs
exceed
limits,
based
on
the
time
needed
to
review
the
monitoring
log
and
create
the
reports,
if
any
are
required
(
Kuntz,
1999).
A
review
of
the
brief
letters
submitted
to
EPA
from
companies
wishing
to
establish
eligibility
for
the
exclusion
indicates
that
there
is
no
justification
for
modifying
the
estimate
of
25
hours
contained
in
ICR
1001.
All
of
these
hours
were
allocated
for
meeting
the
reporting
requirements.

The
Consolidated
ICR
will
allocate
an
additional
1
hour
to
comply
with
recordkeeping
requirements
(
i.
e.,
store,

file,
and
maintain
the
information).

3.13
Additional
Requirements
Several
additional
reporting,
third­
party
reporting,
and
recordkeeping
requirements
were
discussed
with
an
industry
consultant
to
generate
estimates
for
other
requirements
(
Kuntz,
1999).
Notifying
EPA
of
changes
in
ownership
of
a
disposal
facility
and
submitting
the
notarized
affidavit
[
§
§
761.70(
d)(
8)
and
.75(
c)(
7)]
are
estimated
to
take
two
hours
and
that
there
would
be
two
of
these
notifications
submitted
to
EPA
each
year.
Submitting
results
of
analysis
and
validation
studies
to
EPA
[
§
§
761.395
and
.398]
is
estimated
to
take
16
hours,
which
includes
setting
up
the
equipment,
decontaminating
the
surfaces,
setting
up
and
conducting
the
wipe
samples,
and
converting
the
results
into
a
report.
E­
20
It
was
estimated
that
about
500
PCB
Transformers
would
be
discovered
and
require
registration
each
year
[
§
761.30(
a)(
1)(
iv)
and
(
vii);
(
xv)(
D)].
(
Note
that
if
the
newly
discovered
PCB
Transformer
is
situated
in
a
location
that
has
already
been
registered
with
EPA,
registration
is
not
required).
This
number
is
approximately
0.02
percent
of
the
270,900
total
number
of
PCB
Transformers
in
existence,
as
reported
in
the
Small
Entity
Impacts
Analysis
for
the
PCB
Reclassification
Rule
(
EPA,
1998e).

Another
third­
party
reporting
requirement
is
to
attach
a
notation
to
a
PCB
Item
or
PCB
Container
indicating
the
date
the
Item
was
removed
from
service
for
disposal
and
placed
into
storage
for
disposal
[
§
§
761.65(
c)(
1)
and
(
c)(
8)].
As
reported
in
the
Cost
Analysis
of
the
Final
Rule
(
EPA,
1998c),
there
are
about
190,000
PCB
Article
removed
from
service.
Kuntz
estimated
that
at
any
given
time,
there
would
be
just
as
many
containers
and
article
containers
removed
from
service
that
are
filled
with
such
materials
as
contaminated
soil
from
leaking
Articles
or
oil
from
drained
PCB
Transformers,
making
a
total
of
380,000
PCB
Items
or
PCB
Containers
that
must
be
dated.
It
is
estimated
to
take
five
minutes
to
date
each
item
when
removed
from
service
for
disposal.

There
is
a
recordkeeping
requirement
to
track
the
quantity
and
the
date
of
each
batch
added
to
a
stationary
storage
container
[
§
761.65(
c)(
8)].
To
generate
an
estimate
of
the
number
of
times
a
batch
was
added
to
a
container,
Kuntz
assumed
that
each
of
the
265
facilities
estimated
(
in
the
Economic
Analysis
for
the
Final
Rule)
to
be
PCB
disposers
and
commercial
storers
have
one
stationery
storage
container
(
EPA,

1998c).
Ten
percent
of
the
facilities
(
27
facilities)
add
items
to
their
containers
daily
(
260
times
per
year);

40
percent
(
106
facilities)
add
to
their
containers
weekly
(
52
times
per
year);
and
50
percent
(
133
facilities)

add
to
their
containers
monthly
(
12
times
per
year).
Additionally,
all
of
the
300
large
utilities
add
to
their
stationary
storage
containers
once
per
week.
This
estimate
takes
into
consideration
that
not
all
large
utilities
have
PCBs
or
stationary
storage
containers,
but
that
some
of
the
smaller
facilities
do.
The
estimate
for
yearly
totals
is
as
follows:
[(
27
facilities
x
260
times
per
year)
+
[(
106
+
300
facilities)
x
52
times
per
year]
+
(
133
facilities
x
12
times
per
year)],
for
a
total
of
29,728
times
(
rounded
to
30,000)
that
PCB
batches
would
be
added
to
stationery
storage
containers.
It
is
estimated
that
it
takes
5
minutes
to
track
the
required
information
each
time
a
batch
is
added
to
a
container,
for
a
total
of
2,500
hours
per
year.

It
was
estimated
that
it
takes
8
hours
to
maintain
the
records
of
cleanup
and
certification
of
decontamination
at
a
site
cleaned
up
pursuant
to
the
Spill
Cleanup
Policy
[
§
§
761.125(
b)(
3)
and
(
c)(
5)],
and
that
there
would
be
6,780
cleanups
per
year,
assuming
12
per
year
at
each
of
the
estimated
565
large
utilities,
E­
21
disposers,
and
commercial
storers
(
i.
e.,
for
a
total
of
54,240
hours
annually).
This
estimate
takes
into
consideration
that
not
all
large
utilities
have
PCBs,
PCB
spills,
or
12
spills
per
year,
but
that
some
of
the
smaller
facilities
do.
Finally,
it
was
estimated
that
it
would
take
one­
half
hour
to
maintain
records
documenting
delay
in
spill
cleanup
activities
[
§
761.125(
c)(
1)],
and
that
5
percent
of
the
6,780
sites
(
339
sites)
would
face
such
delays.
