    Title: Land Disposal Restrictions (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1422.21, OMB Control No. 2050-0085.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2010. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
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 when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Section 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA), as amended, requires that EPA develop standards for 
hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal as may be necessary to 
protect human health and the environment. Subsections 3004(d), (e), and 
(g) require EPA to promulgate regulations that prohibit the land 
disposal of hazardous waste unless it meets specified treatment 
standards described in subsection 3004(m).
    The regulations implementing these requirements are codified in the 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, Part 268. EPA requires that 
facilities maintain the data outlined in this ICR so that the Agency 
can ensure that land disposed waste meets the treatment standards. EPA 
strongly believes that the recordkeeping requirements are necessary for 
the agency to fulfill its congressional mandate to protect human health 
and the environment.
    This ICR incorporates the ICR for the LDR No-Migration Variances 
(OMB Control Number 2050-0062).
    Burden Statement: The annual reporting and recordkeeping burden for 
this ICR is approximately 6.21 hours per response. 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 agency. This 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 which have 
subsequently changed; 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are private sector and State, Local, or Tribal governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 194,560.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,208,382.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $162,092,988, includes $64,195,885 
annualized labor costs and $97,897,103 annualized capital or O&M costs.

[[Page 71431]]

    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 42,045 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to the addition of the LDR 
``No-Migration'' Variance universe and revised estimates for the time 
required to respond.
