    Abstract: This Information Collection Request (ICR) renewal is 
being submitted for the Air Emission Standards for Tanks, Surface 
Impoundments and Containers (40 CFR Part 264, Subpart CC and 40 CFR 
Part 265, Subpart CC), which were promulgated on December 6, 1994. The 
requirements of this subpart apply to owners and operators of all 
facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes in tanks, 
surface impoundments and containers that are subject to subparts I, J 
or K of these parts, except for Sections 264.1 and 265.1 and those 
management units identified at Sections 264.1080(b) and 265.1080(b). 
Also, the requirements of this subpart apply to large quantity 
generators that manage hazardous wastes in either tanks, or containers 
(262.34(a)(1)(i and ii)). The affected entities are subject to the 
General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any 
changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR 
part 264, subpart CC and 40 CFR part 265, subpart CC.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 114 
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 sewage tanks, surface impoundments and containers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 6,209.
    Frequency of Response: Annually and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 711,409.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $57,632,335, which is comprised of $0 
in annualized capital/start-up costs, $12,418,000 O&M costs, and 
$45,214,335 in labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a small reduction of 68 hours in 
total hourly burden. This change is due to the correction of a 
mathematical error in the total estimated burden currently identified 
in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.

    Dated: April 25, 2007.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
