Title:
Land
Disposal
Restrictions
 
Base
ICR.
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.
An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
control
number.
The
OMB
control
numbers
for
EPA's
regulations
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
chapter
15.
The
EPA
would
like
to
solicit
comments
to:
(
i)
Evaluate
whether
the
proposed
collection
of
information
is
necessary
for
the
proper
performance
of
the
functions
of
the
Agency,
including
whether
the
information
will
have
practical
utility;
(
ii)
Evaluate
the
accuracy
of
the
Agency's
estimate
of
the
burden
of
the
proposed
collection
of
information,
including
the
validity
of
the
methodology
and
assumptions
used;
(
iii)
Enhance
the
quality,
utility,
and
clarity
of
the
information
to
be
collected;
and
(
iv)
Minimize
the
burden
of
the
collection
of
information
on
those
who
are
to
respond,
including
through
the
use
of
appropriate
automated
electronic,
mechanical,
or
other
technological
collection
techniques
or
other
forms
of
information
technology,
e.
g.,
permitting
electronic
submission
