THE
INFORMATION
COLLECTION
 
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,
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.

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.
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
created
and
presently
maintain
the
PCB
Transformer
Database.
Staff
presently
process
registrations
for
newly
discovered
PCB
Transformers.
On
an
"
as
requested
basis,"
EPA
resources
provide
information
from
the
PCB
Transformers
Database
to
environmental
and
emergency
response
officials.
EPA
also
has
placed
these
data
on
the
Internet.

EPA
staff
also
process
both
new
and
amended
PCB
notifications
of
waste
handling
activities
and
update
the
PCB
Activity
Database
System
(
PADS)
on
PCB
waste
handlers.
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.
To
produce
the
inspection
reports,
EPA
inputs,
indexes
and
files
data
that
are
obtained
during
inspections,
and
prepares,
reviews
and
revises
the
inspection
reports.

Activities
routinely
conducted
by
EPA
in
processing
requests
for
permits
to
operate
a
PCB
disposal
facility
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
National
Program
Chemicals
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
and
coordinated
approvals;
as
well
as
requests
to
exceed
R&
D
and
storage
limitations
and
to
use
alternate
disposal
methods.
For
commercial
storage
approvals,
EPA
must
also
determine
if
the
facility
will
be
able
to
close
in
an
environmentally
safe
manner.

5(
b)
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.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
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.

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
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:

°
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
that
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
PCB­
contaminated
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
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
transformers,
80
percent
of
the
mineral
oil
transformers,
and
85
percent
of
the
large
PCB
capacitors,
with
the
remainder
owned
by
nonutility
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
small­
entity
definition
for
the
electric
utility
industry
includes
entities
producing
4
million
megawatt­
hours
of
electricity
sales
or
less.
The
EIA
data
permit
the
identification
of
private
sector
small
utilities
as
well
as
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.
Table

in
the
Draft
Analysis
of
the
Cost
Impacts
of
Potential
Amendments
to
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
761,
an
excerpt
of
which
is
included
as
Appendix
E,
"
Economic
Impacts
on
Small
Entities,"
shows
the
results
of
this
analysis
(
U.
S.
EPA,
2003d).

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
(
NAICS
211111),
manufacturing
(
NAICS
31­
33),
line­
haul
railroads
(
NAICS
48211),
telephone
communications
(
NAICS
513),
and
refuse
systems
(
NAICS
562111)
as
accounting
for
over
90
percent
of
the
non­
utility,
private
sector
PCB
waste
generators.
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
NAICS
codes
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
(
NAICS
62211)
and
colleges
and
universities
(
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
industry­
specific
estimates
of
the
number
of
establishments
that
might
have
PCB
and
PCB­
Contaminated
Electrical
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
highvoltage
transformation
equipment,
the
remainder
using
transformation
equipment
provided
or
leased
to
them
by
their
utility
company.

The
Census
Bureau's
Statistics
of
U.
S.
Businesses
does
not
classify
entities
in
size
groups
beyond
the
size
group
of
`
greater
then
500
employees'.
Consequently,
entities,
establishments,
employees,
or
revenues
in
size
groups
of
fewer
than
750
or
1000
employees
cannot
be
allocated.
For
these
size
standards,
data
for
entities
with
fewer
than
500
employees
were
used
as
a
conservative
estimate.

Except
for
utilities
(
NAICS
221111,
221112,
221113,
221119,
221121,
and
221122).
These
utility
industries
are
defined
as
small
if
they
generate
less
than
4
million
megawatt­
hours
of
electricity
sales
per
year.
Electric
utility
operating
data
collected
and
reported
by
the
Energy
Information
Administration
(
EIA,
Form
861)
were
used
to
determine
the
number
of
small
entities
and
revenues
for
utilities.

3The
1997
revenues
were
multiplied
by
the
ratio
of
2000
payrolls
to
1997
payrolls
to
obtain
the
year
2000
revenue
estiamtes.
According
to
the
2000
County
Business
Patterns,
there
are
approximately
6.9
million
establishments
in
the
private
sector,
exclusive
of
agriculture
(
NAICS
11
and
112)
and
line­
haul
railroads
(
NAICS
48211)
(
Bureau
of
the
Census,
2000).
Using
the
assumption
that
0.3
percent
of
these
establishments
receive
high­
voltage
electricity
service,
17,715
(
adjusting
for
the
share
that
lease
equipment
from
the
utility)
would
be
expected
to
have
transformers
and
capacitors
that
might
be
contaminated
with
PCBs
(
6.9
million
x
0.3
percent
x
85
percent
that
own
their
equipment).
For
the
Draft
Analysis
of
the
Cost
Impacts
of
Potential
Amendments
to
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
761,
it
was
estimated
that
approximately
50,000
industrial
establishments
have
affected
equipment.
While
the
likelihood
of
owning
the
regulated
equipment
increases
for
high­
voltage
customers,
it
is
not
the
only
characteristic
that
is
relevant.
Low­
voltage
distribution
equipment
can
also
be
PCB­
contaminated.

EPA
distributed
the
affected
establishments
among
industries
using
judgments
of
the
distribution
of
high
voltage
equipment
among
3­
digit
NAICS
industries.
Thus,
while
an
establishment
need
not
be
a
high­
voltage
customer
to
be
affected
by
the
regulations,
the
likelihood
of
being
a
high­
voltage
customer
was
considered
the
best
indicator
of
whether
the
establishment
would
be
using
PCB­
containing
equipment.
The
methodology
included
the
following
judgments.
First,
the
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
highvoltage
users.
The
50,000
affected
establishments
were
then
distributed
among
industries
within
these
two
groups
on
the
basis
of
the
overall
distribution
of
establishments.
The
results
of
this
distribution
methodology
are
shown
in
Table
3­
2
of
the
Draft
Analysis
of
the
Cost
Impacts
of
Potential
Amendments
to
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
761
(
in
Appendix
E).

For
most
NAICS
industries,
SBA
classifies
small
entities
by
employment
size.
Depending
upon
the
industry,
entities
with
fewer
than
500,
750,
or
1,000
employees
are
classified
as
small
businesses1.
For
most
of
the
remaining
industries,
small
firms
are
classified
by
revenue
size2.
To
estimate
the
number
of
small
entities
for
these
industries,
average
revenues
per
entity
were
calculated
for
each
employment
size
category
in
each
six­
digit
NAICS
code.
While
published
revenue
data
are
only
available
for
1997,
payroll
data
by
NAICS
are
available
through
2000.
The
2000
revenues
were
estimated
assuming
that
they
grew
from
1997
to
2000
at
the
same
rate
as
payrolls3.
The
average
revenue
per
entity
for
employment
size
classification
in
each
NAICS
code
was
then
compared
to
the
SBA
small
business
definition.
All
entities
in
size
classifications
falling
below
the
small
business
definition
were
counted
as
small
businesses.

Table
3­
3
in
the
Draft
Analysis
of
the
Cost
Impacts
of
Potential
Amendments
to
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
761
presents
estimates
of
the
number
of
entities
in
each
industry
that
own
affected
equipment
(
see
Appendix
E).
These
estimates
are
based
on
the
distribution
of
highvoltage
equipment
establishments
and
assume
that
the
frequency
of
high­
voltage
equipment
ownership
among
entities
is
the
same
among
establishments.
Also,
small
entities
are
assumed
to
be
as
likely
to
won
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.
Table
3­
3
in
Appendix
E
also
incorporates
the
estimates
of
the
number
of
small
establishments
in
the
electric
utility
industry
(

221111,
221112,
221113,
221119,
221121,
and
221122)
shown
in
Table
3­
1
of
Appendix
E.
Of
the
estimated
9,490
entities
with
high­
voltage
equipment,
1,928
are
electric
utilities.
Electric
utilities
account
for
1,840
of
the
9,053
small
entities
with
high­
voltage
equipment.

ESTIMATING
THE

OF
THE
COLLECTION
6(

Estimating
Respondent
Burden
To
update
the
respondent
burden
for
this
ICR,
the
hourly
burdens
and
the
total
number
of
respondents
for
each
requirement
were
reviewed
using
a
number
of
data
and
information
sources
and
consultations
with
regulated
entities.
Most
of
the
level
of
effort
entries
remain
the
same,
as
the
particular
tasks
have
not
changed
for
the
most
part.
In
a
number
of
cases,
however,
the
total
number
of
respondents
or
the
total
amount
of
equipment
that
must
be
tracked
in
some
way
have
been
revised.

One
of
the
information
and
data
sources
used
to
revise
this
Consolidated
ICR
was
the
Draft
Analysis
of
the
Potential
Amendments
to
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
Part
761
(
U.
S.
EPA,
2003d).
This
document
includes
estimates
based
on
recent
discussions
with
respondents
in
the
utility,
PCB
waste
handling,
and
natural
gas
distribution
industries.
Other
documents
that
contained
valid
information
were
the

the
PCB

Analysis
(
U.
S.
EPA,

This
document
is
the
cost
analysis
for
the
PCB
Reclassification
Rule.

Other
data
sources
include
EPA's
most
up­
to­
date
PADs
database,
the
PCB
annual
report,
and
the
EPA
PCB
website,
which
contain
data
about
entities
that
generate,

transport,
dispose,
research,
and
smelt
PCB
wastes
and
equipment
(
U.

EPA
PCB
Regional
C
oordinators
were
also
contacted
to
obtain
information
about
the
number
of
notifications
that
were
submitted
to
the
Agency
over
the
past
few
years.
The
number
of
notifications
EPA
Headquarters
received
was
also
tallied.

Several
industry
representatives
knowledgeable
about
specific
regulations
and
the
associated
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
for
the
natural
gas
industry,
the
utility
sector,
and
PCB
waste
handlers
were
consulted
for
this
report.
Representatives
from
the
American
Gas
Association,
the
Utility
Solid
Waste
Advisory
Group,
and
a
large
PCB
storage
and
disposal
firm
were
contacted.

New
hourly
wage
rates
were
included
for
managers,
engineers,
engineering
technicians,
and
clerks.
These
wages
were
based
on
data
from
Table
3,
"
Mean
hourly
earnings
and
weekly
hours
for
selected
occupations,
full­
time
and
part­
time
workers,
United
States,"
as
reported
in
the
National
Compensation
Survey:
Occupational
Wages
in
the
United
States,
July
2002,
from
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
(
U.
S.
DOL,
2003b).
Non­
wage
benefits
were
estimated
at
38.7
percent
of
these
wages,
using
data
for
serviceproducing
industry
workers,
as
presented
in
Table

of
Employer
Cost

Employee
Compensation,

(
U.

2003a).

Adding
an
additional
17
percent
to
account
for
overhead
costs
results
in
a
55.7
percent
markup
on
4Table

states
that
non­

The

summary.
The
total
estimated
time
for
respondents
to
comply
with
the
reporting,
thirdparty
reporting,
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
this
Consolidated
ICR
is
824,778
hours.
The
annual
burden
associated
with
respondents
complying
with
the
reporting
requirements
of
this
Consolidated
ICR
is
estimated
to
average
149,503
hours,
industry­
wide.
The
total
third­

is
estimated
to
average
21,634

and
the
total
recordkeeping
burden
of
this
Consolidated
ICR
is
estimated
to
average
653,640

industry­
wide.
The
average
hourly
estimates
and
total
number
of
respondents
for
each
reporting,
third­

Only
requirements
for
new
disclosures
are
now
applicable.
The
revised
number
of
these
disclosures
was
obtained
from
the
recent
analysis
conducted
for
the
Draft
Analysis
of
the
Cost
Impacts
of
the
Potential
Amendments
to
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
Part
761(
U.
S.
EPA,
2003d).
For
this
report,
it
was
estimated
that
1,597,440
pieces
of
equipment
are
typically
tested
each
year
industry­
wide,

20
percent
of
which
are
transformers
(
319,488).
The
report
also
estimated
that
0.53
percent
of
transformers
contain

500
ppm
PCBs,
resulting
in
1,693
PCB
Transformers
discovered
each
year.
Industry
representatives
contacted
for
the
draft
analysis
reported
that
a
majority
of
these
units
(
i.
e.,
the
small
poleand
pad­
mounted
units)
are
disposed
of
and
would
not
need
to
be
reported
to
EPA.

Assuming
that
95
percent
of
these
units
are
disposed,
then
about
85
units
(
the
larger
expensive
units)
would
need
to
be
reported
to
the

transformers
Industry
representatives
indicated
that
only
the
very
large,
expensive
transformers
would
likely
be
reclassified
and
only
an
insignificant
number
of
voltage
regulators,
electromagnets,

and
switches
would
be
reclassified
(
Davis,

2003;
U.
S.
EPA
2003d).
Thus,
this
ICR
deals
only
with
estimating
the
burden
associated
with
the
reporting
requirements
for
transformers.
As
reported
in
the
Draft
Analysis
of
the
Cost
Impacts
of
the
Potential
Amendments
to
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
Part
761,
only
5percent
of
transformers
are
the
very
large
units.
If
about
2,450,000
transformers
remain
total
that
contain
PCBs
during
the
period
of
this
ICR
(
as
indicated
in
the
Draft
Analysis),
then
about
122,500
will
be
handled
each
year
(
over
the
next
20
years).

Reclassifying
5
percent
per
year
would
be
6,125
units
annually.

Regional
PCB
Coordinators
have
reported
that
they
have
requested
about
45
records
per

(
0.7

(
Also

The

at

Part

This
report
indicates
that
582,000
units
that
contain
PCBs
are
removed
from
service
for
disposal
each
year
(
including
PCB
Transformers,
Large

Small

and
Voltage
Regulators,
as
well
as
circuit
breakers,
reclosers,
rectifiers,

switches,

and

and
that
8
percent
of
these
units
contain

500
ppm
PCBs
(
46,560
PCB
Items).
The
assumption
remains
that
at
any
given
time,

there
will
be
just
as
many
PCB
Containers
and
Article
Containers
as
Articles,
making
the
total
number
of
PCB
Items
91,120.
For
example,
there
may
be
instances
where
contaminated
soil
from
one
PCB
Article
spill
may
fill
50
containers
or
that
the
oil
drained
from
one
PCB
Transformer
fills
4
containers.

The
estimate
captures
that
some
Articles
will
be
combined
into
one
Container.

The
time
estimate
for

considers
that
all

must
be
dated

According
to
a

Annual

from
1998
to
2001,
an
annual
average
of
110,368

were
transferred
to

(
U.

Each
Item
or
container
of
items
or
waste
transported
from
a
generator
either
to
a
storer
or
disposer
requires
information
included
on
a
manifest.

To
compile
the
original
information
for
the
first
manifest
that
accompanies
a
piece
of
equipment
or
container
would
take
about
10
minutes
per
item
(
0.167

It
would
take
less
time
per
item
for
storers
to
include
information
on
a
manifest
(
to
send
to
a
disposer)
because
the
information
is
already
available.
Thus
it
will
be
assumed
that
the
time
to

would
average
5

per

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
total
burden
for
this
ICR
is
824,778
hours
and
$
23,005,750.
The
previous
burden
in
OMB's
inventory
for
the
existing
Consolidated
ICR
was
741,261
hours
and
$
24,789,115.
This
results
in
a
cumulative
increase
of
83,517
hours
(
824,778
­
741,261)
and
a
decrease
of
$
1,783,365
($
24,789,115
­
$
23,005,750).

In
addition
to
revised
wage
rates
(
some
increased,
some
decreased),
the
changes
in
the
total
annual
respondent
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burdens
and
costs
over
the
course
of
the
requested
clearance
period
for
many
provisions
was
due
to
revisions
to
the
total
number
of
respondents.
In
some
cases,
the
total
number
of
respondents
was
based
on
number
of
facilities,
in
other
cases,
the
total
number
of
respondents
was
calculated
by
estimating
the
total
number
of
pieces
of
equipment
that
respondents
must
keep
track
of
for
a
particular
requirement.
The
up­
todate
wage
rates
and
the
change
from
the
previous
ICR
are
as
follows:

°
Facility
manager
 
new
rate,
$
56.99;
prior
rate;
$
60
(
5.02
percent
decrease)
°
Engineer/
foreman
 
new
rate,
$
53.87;
prior
rate,
$
45
(
16.47
percent
increase)
°
Engineering
technician
 
new
rate,
$
32.85;
prior
rate,
$
31
(
5.63
percent
increase)
°
Clerk
 
new
rate,
$
21.18;
prior
rate,
$
22
(
3.73
percent
decrease)

These
burden
and
cost
changes
were
the
result
of
new
data
gathered
for
this
ICR
effort
as
well
as
another
recent
PCB
regulatory
analysis,
estimate
adjustments
made
for
consistency
with
the
more
recent
Agency
report,
and
updated
Agency
data
regarding
total
numbers
of
regulated
entities.

Additionally,
several
one­
time
requirements
were
annualized
for
this
ICR,
which
lowers
the
total
annual
costs,
although
not
the
hourly
burdens.
The
costs
for
Item
numbers
28,
31,
and
103,
which
refer
to
seeking
approvals
to
burn
liquids
other
than
mineral
oil
dielectric
fluids
in
high
efficiency
boilers,
requesting
coordinated
approvals,
and
recording
testing
parameters
for
decontamination
validation
studies,
were
annualized
for
this
ICR.

Finally,
two
minor
reporting
requirements
(
items
41a
&
68a)
have
been
added
to
account
for
provisions
of
the
April
2,
2001,
Reclassification
of
PCB
and
PCB­
Contaminated
Electrical
Equipment;
Final
Rule
that
were
not
included
in
the
previous
Consolidated
PCB
ICR
on
file
with
OMB.
The
specific
adjustments
to
this
Consolidated
ICR
are
explained
on
Tables
6­
1
through
6­
7
and
are
summarized
on
Table
6­
10
and
in
the
following
discussion.

°
Item
number
3
 
The
total
number
of
newly
discovered
PCB
Transformers
that
must
be
reported
to
EPA
was
reduced
from
500
to
85,
based
on
the
Draft
Analysis
of
the
Cost
Impacts
of
the
Potential
Amendments
to
the
PCB
Regulations
at
40
CFR
Part
761
and
discussion
with
industry
representatives
that
indicated
most
newly
discovered
PCB
transformers
are
disposed
of;
the
most
likely
70
transformers
reclassified
are
the
large,
expensive
transformers
because
the
smaller
pole­
and
pad­
mounted
types
are
not
as
expensive

increased
from
an
estimated
15
applicants
to
about

based
on
a
new
tally
of
applications
received
by
EPA
over

However,
the
average
time
for
preparing
these
applications
decreased
from
990
hours
to
900
hours
based
on
a
greater
number
of

which
take
fewer

average
to
prepare
the

decreases
from
393

For

the

uses
a
new
assumption
that
the
greater
than
1­
lb
spills
of
PCBs
by
weight
that
occur
at
electrical
substations
are
a
large
subset
but
not
all
of
all
the
spills
that
must
be
reported
to
the
NRC;
95
percent
of
the
average
annual
276
spills
reported
from
2000
to
2002
(
U.
S.
Coast
Guard,
2003).
This
number
is
reduced
from
the
previous
ICR,
which
assumed
there
would
be
12
spills
at
each
of
the
565
large
utilities,
disposers,
and
storers,
for
a
total
of
6,780

Thus,
the
total

reduced.
The

have
been

compiled
in
the
PCB
Annual

and
discussion
with
an
industry
representative.
The
method
of
generating
these
estimates
was
also
revised.
It
was
newly
estimated
to
take
an
average
of
5
minutes
for
generators
to
first
gather
and
enter
information
on

for
each
item
and
then
storers
to
compile
more
readily
available
information
on
manifests
for
sending
consolidated
shipments
to
disposers.
The
previous
estimate
was
10
minutes
for
all
types
of
manifests.
The
total
number
of
items
for
which
manifests
must
be

increases
and
was
obtained
from
the
most
recent
PCB
Annual

Burden
Statement
The
annual
public
burden
for
this
collection
of
information,
which
is
approved
under
OMB
Control
No.
2070­
0112,
is
estimated
to
average
1.01
hours
per
response.
According
to
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act,
"
burden"
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
75
agency.
For
this
collection
it
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information].
An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
control
number.
The
OMB
control
numbers
for
EPA's
regulations
in
title
40
of
the
CFR,
after
appearing
in
the
Federal
Register,
are

9
and
included
on
the
related
collection
instrument
or

if
applicable.

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