    Abstract: This ICR provides covers the information collection 
requirements associated with specific unit standards applicable to 
owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or dispose of 
hazardous wastes as defined by 40 CFR part 261. It includes a detailed 
description of the data items and respondent activities associated with 
each requirement and with each hazardous waste management unit at a 
facility. The specific units and processes included in this ICR are: 
Tank systems, surface impoundments, waste piles, land treatment, 
landfills, Incinerators, thermal treatment, chemical, physical, and 
biological treatment, miscellaneous (subpart X), drip pads, process 
vents, equipment leaks, containment buildings, and recovery/recycling.
    With each information collection covered in this ICR, the EPA is 
aiding the goal of complying with its statutory mandate under RCRA to 
develop standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal 
facilities, to protect human health and the environment. Without the 
information collection, the agency cannot assure that the facilities 
are designed and operated properly.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are in the private sector and State, Local, or Tribal 
governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 261, 264, 
265, and 266).
    Estimated number of respondents: 2,018.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 356,305 hours per year. Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,197,174 (per year), includes $1,452,841 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 297,792 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to a decrease in the number of 
tanks and containers.
