This
ICR
is
titled
"Part

Modifications,
and
Special
Permits,"
ICR
number
1573.

Short
Characterization
The
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
(RCRA)
of
1976,
as
amended
by
the
Hazardous
and
Solid
Waste
Amendments
(HSWA)
of
1984,
requires
EPA
to
establish
a
national
regulatory
program
to
insure
that
hazardous
wastes
are
managed
in
a
manner
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.
Specifically,
the
statute
requires
EPA
to
promulgate
regulations
that
establish
performance
standards
and
permitting
requirements
applicable
to
hazardous
waste
treatment,
storage,
and
disposal
facilities
(TSDFs).
Section
3004
of
Subtitle
C
establishes
performance
standards
applicable
to
these
facilities.
Section
3005
requires
EPA
to
promulgate
regulations
requiring
these
facilities
to
obtain
a
permit.
In
the
event
permit
modifications
are
proposed
by
an
applicant
or
EPA,
modifications
must
conform
to
the
requirements
under
Sections
3004
and
3005.
The
regulations
implementing
these
requirements
are
codified
at
40
CFR
Parts
264
and
270.

This
ICR
provides
a
comprehensive
discussion
of
the
requirements
for
owner/
operators
of
TSDFs
submitting
applications
for
a
Part
B
permit
or
permit
modification.
The
information
collections
contained
in
this
ICR
are
divided
into
three
sections:
demonstrations
and
exemptions
from
requirements
(40
CFR
Part
264),
contents
of
the
Part
B
application
(40
CFR
Part
270),

modifications
and
special
permits
(40
CFR
Part
270).

Demonstrations
and
Exemptions
from

from
certain
requirements
by
submitting
demonstrations
to
EPA.
In
most
cases,
these
demonstrations
will
be
submitted
along
with
the
Part
B
application.
Section

NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need
And
Authority
For
The
Collection
This
section
describes
the
need
and
authority
for
each
type
of
information
collection
analyzed
in
this
ICR.

Demonstrations
and
Exemptions
from
Requirements
Releases
from
Regulated
Units
and
Specific
Unit
Requirements
EPA
promulgated
a
number
of
regulations
in
40
CFR
Part
264
providing
owner/
operators
the
opportunity
to
submit
demonstrations
to
exempt
their
facilities
from
certain
requirements.
In
§264.90,
EPA
promulgated
regulations
allowing
owner/
operators
to
obtain
an
exemption
from
the
Subpart
F
requirements
regarding
releases
into
the
uppermost
aquifer.
In
§§
264.193,
.221,
.251,
.272,
.301,
and
.344,
EPA
promulgated
regulations
outlining
the
requirements
for
owner/
operators
petitioning
to
exempt
units
(tank
systems,
surface
impoundments,
waste
piles,
land
treatment,
landfills,
and
incinerators)
at
their
facilities
from
specific
requirements.
EPA
needs
this
information
to
evaluate
the
accuracy
and
completeness
of
petitions
for
exemptions
submitted
by
owner/
operators.
These
requirements
insure
that
only
facilities
fully
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment
are
granted
exemptions,
and
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
preventing
contamination
of
the
environment
from
hazardous
waste
treatment,
storage,
and
disposal
practices.

Contents
of
the
Part
B
Application
General
Information
EPA
promulgated
regulations
in
§270.1(
c)(
5)
allowing
owner/
operators
of
surface
impoundments,
land
treatment
units,
and
waste
piles
closing
by
removal
or
decontamination
under
Part
265
standards
to
petition
the
Regional
Administrator
for
a
determination
that
a
post­
closure
permit
is
not
required.
The
owner/
operator
will
need
to
demonstrate
that
the
particular
unit
does
not
require
a
post­
closure
permit
because
its
closure
met
the
applicable
Part
264
closure
standards.
Similar
to
the
exemption
provisions
in
CFR
Part
264
(discussed
in
previous
section),
EPA
needs
this
information
to
evaluate
the
accuracy
and
completeness
of
the
claims
made
in
the
petitions
for
exemptions
submitted
by
owner/
operators.
These
requirements
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
ensuring
that
hazardous
waste
management
facilities
are
closed
in
a
manner
fully
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

Permit
Application
Section
3019
of
RCRA
requires
EPA
to
promulgate
regulations
requiring
owner/
operators
of
facilities
that
store,
treat,
or
dispose
of
hazardous
waste
in
a
surface
impoundment
or
landfill
to
submit
information
on
the
potential
for
the
public
to
be
exposed
to
hazardous
wastes
or
6
hazardous
constituents
through
releases
related
to
the
unit
(40
CFR
§270.10(
j)).
EPA
needs
this
information
to
comprehensively
evaluate
the
potential
risk
posed
by
facilities
seeking
permits.
This
information
aids
EPA's
in
meeting
its
goal
of
ascertaining
and
minimizing
risks
to
human
health
and
the
environment
from
hazardous
waste
management
facilities.

Compliance
EPA
promulgated
regulations
in
§270.33
detailing
informational
requirements
for
owner/
operators
developing
schedules
of
compliance
leading
to
compliance
with
the
Act
and
regulations.
EPA
needs
this

to
determine
whether
schedules
of
compliance
are
reasonable.

Permit
Modifications
and
Special
Permits
Permit
Modifications
EPA
promulgated
regulations
in
40
CFR
Part
270
outlining
procedures
for
modification
and

and
for
owner/
operators
handling
newly
regulated
wastes
hazardous
or
managing
waste
in
newly
regulated
units
(§
270.42(
g)).

EPA
needs
this
information
to
comprehensively
evaluate
whether
requests
for
modifications
or
transfer
of
ownership
should
be
granted.
The
permit
modification
procedures
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
providing
a
role
for
the
public
in
the
permitting
process.
In
general,
these
informational
requirements
aid
in
meeting
EPA's
goal
of
ascertaining
and
minimizing
risks
to
human
health
and
the
environment
from
hazardous
waste
management
facilities.

In
40
CFR
Part
264,
Subpart
S,
EPA
promulgated
regulations
for
corrective
action
management
units
(CAMUs).
EPA
needs
to
collect
information
from
facilities
that
are
engaged
in,
or
will
be
initiating,
corrective
action
to
effectively
designate
CAMUs.

Expiration
and
Continuation
of
Permits
EPA
promulgated
regulations
in
§§
270.50
and
270.51
requiring
owner/
operators
to
renew
their
Part
B
permit.
In
order
to
renew
an
expiring
permit,
owner/
operators
must
submit
an
application
containing
the
information
required
under
§270.14
and
the
applicable
sections
of
§§
270.15
through
270.29.
The
permit
renewal
process
provides
EPA
with
an
opportunity
to
complete
an
extensive
review
of
the
facility
permit
to
determine
whether
the
terms
of
the
permit
continue
to
provide
the
most
appropriate
mechanism
for
protecting
human
health
and
the
environment.

Special
Forms
of
Permits
EPA
promulgated
regulations
in
§270.60
and
§§
270.62
through
270.65
creating
additional
forms
of
permits.
Informational
requirements
are
specified
for
these
permits
in
the
following
sections:
12
°
Permits
by
rule
(§
270.60);

°
Hazardous
waste
incinerator
permits
(§
270.62);

°
Permits
for
land
treatment
demonstrations
using
filed
test
or
laboratory
analyses
(§
270.63);

°
Interim
permits
for
UIC
wells
(§
270.64);
and
°
Research,
development,
and
demonstration
permits
(§
270.65).

EPA
needs
this
information
to
comprehensively
evaluate
permit
applications.
These
informational
requirements
contribute
EPA's
goal
of
ascertaining
and
minimizing
risks
to
human
health
and
the
environment
from
hazardous
waste
management
facilities.

Interim
Status
Termination
of
Interim
Status
EPA
promulgated
regulations
at
40
CFR
Part
270,
Subpart
G
covering
interim
status
facilities.
Section
270.73
requires
land
disposal
facilities
that
become
subject
to
permit
requirements
as
a
result
of
statutory
or
regulatory
amendments
to
submit
within
12
months
a
Part
B
permit
application
and
a
certification
that
the
facility
is
in
compliance
with
all
applicable
ground­
water
monitoring
and
financial
responsibility
requirements.
EPA
needs
this
information
to
ensure
that
such
facilities
come
under
permit
conditions
and
are
operated
in
a
manner
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

Practical
Utility
And
Use
And
Users
Of
Data
This
section
describes
the
users
of
the
collected
data
and
how
the
information
will
be
used.

Demonstrations
and
Exemptions
from
Requirements
Releases
from
Regulated
Units
and
Specific
Unit
Requirements
EPA
uses
the
information
submitted
by
owner/
operators
in
their
exemption
petitions
to
evaluate
these
demonstrations
fully.
Owner/
operators
of
facilities
must
establish
that
they
do
not
need
to
comply
with
the
applicable
requirements
to
be
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

Contents
of
the
Part
B
Application
General
Information
13
EPA
uses
the
required
information
to
fully
evaluate
petitions
submitted
by
owner/
operators
for
their
exemptions
from
post­
closure
permit
requirements.
Owner/
operators
of
facilities
must
establish
that
the
facility
was
closed
in
a
manner
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

Permit
Application
EPA
uses
information
on
exposure
potential
to
minimize
any
risks
to
human
health
from
hazardous
waste
management
facilities.
If
EPA
determines
that
a
facility
poses
a
substantial
risk
to
human
health,
EPA
may
request
that
the
Agency
for
Toxic
Substances
and
Disease
Registry
conduct
a
health
assessment.

General
Requirements,
General
Facility
Standards,
Financial
Assurance,
Ground­
Water
Protection,
Regulated
Units,
and
Other
Requirements
EPA
uses
the
information
requirements
in
40
CFR
Parts
264
and
270
for
owner/
operators
submitting
Part
B
applications
to
evaluate
compliance
with
various
elements
of
the
regulations.
For
example,
the
general
facility
standards
informational
requirements
provide
EPA
with
information
demonstrating
compliance
with
standards
regarding
the
facility's
contingency
plan,
the
inspection
schedule,
and
security
procedures.
EPA
uses
the
financial
assurance
information
requirements
to
evaluate
the
facility
owner's
financial
ability
to
close
the
facility,
to
maintain
the
facility
after
closure,
and
to
respond
to
any
contingencies.
Both
EPA
and
the
owner/
operators
use
the
ground­
water
protection
information
to
evaluate
the
state
of
the
underlying
ground
water,
the
adequacy
of
the
monitoring
program,
and
whether
hazardous
constituents
are
present
in
the
ground
water.

Specific
Part
B
Information
Requirements
EPA
uses
information
regarding
specific
units
at
facilities
to
evaluate
the
adequacy
of
each
unit
to
manage
hazardous
wastes.
Additional
information
is
required
because
each
of
the
different
types
of
hazardous
waste
management
units
presents
different
risks
to
the
environment
and
consequently
requires
different
standards.
EPA
reviews
the
submittals
of
each
type
of
hazardous
waste
management
unit
to
evaluate
whether
it
is
designed,
built,
and
operated
in
a
manner
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.
EPA
uses
the
information
required
for
process
vents
and
equipment
leaks
to
ensure
compliance
with
air
emissions
standards.

Schedules
of
Compliance
Owner/
operators
use
schedules
of
compliance
to
develop
a
list
of
activities
needed
to
come
into
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations.
EPA
uses
performance
test
plans
and
documentation
of
compliance
to
ensure
that
design
and
operating
procedures
are
in
accordance
with
air
emissions
standards.

Permit
Modifications
and
Special
Permits
14
Permit
Modifications
EPA
uses
permit
information
to
evaluate
the
initial
permit
applications
and
any
subsequent
requests
for
modifications.
The
public
may
also
use
draft
EPA
permit
and
permit
modification
determinations
which
incorporate
data
submitted
by
facilities
to
assess
hazardous
waste
management
facilities
being
developed
in
their
communities.

EPA
reviews
data
collected
from
facilities
undergoing
or
scheduled
to
undergo
corrective
action
to
designate
CAMUs
at
the
facility.

Expiration
and
Continuation
of
Permits
EPA
uses
permit
renewal
applications
to
ensure
that
the
terms
of
the
facility
permit
remain
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.
Special
Forms
of
Permits
EPA
uses
the
information
requirements
for
these
permits
to
determine
compliance
with
the
regulations.
EPA
needs
this
information
to
comprehensively
evaluate
whether
applicant
facilities
are
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

Interim
Status
Termination
of
Interim
Status
EPA
uses
certifications
collected
from
land
disposal
facilities
to
ensure
that
the
facility
can
satisfy
ground­
water
monitoring
and
financial
responsibility
requirements
and
be
operated
in
a
manner
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
Nonduplication
There
are
no
other
Federal
agencies
with
a
permit
program
for
hazardous
waste
facilities.
Authorized
States
must
modify
their
programs
only
after
EPA
promulgates
Federal
standards
that
are
more
stringent
than
the
existing
Federal
standards.
Section
3009
of
RCRA
allows
States
to
impose
standards
more
stringent
than
or
in
addition
to
those
in
the
Federal
program.
In
order
to
obtain
authorization,
a
State
must
agree
to
have
reporting
requirements
that
are
equivalent
to
EPA's
requirements.
Facilities
in
authorized
States
will
need
to
maintain
records
and
submit
reports
to
comply
only
with
the
States'
requirements;
there
is
no
parallel
information
submitted
to
EPA.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
In
compliance
with
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995,
EPA
will
issue
a
public
notice
in
the
Federal
Register,
and
will
provide
a
60
day
comment
period.
At
the
end
of
the
public
comment
period,
EPA
will
review
the
comments
received
in
response
to
the
notice
and
will
address
them
as
appropriate.

3(
c)
Consultations
The
burden
hours
and
cost
estimates
for
this
ICR
have
been
well
established,
and
no
additional
consultations
have
been
made.

3(
d)
Effects
Of
Less
Frequent
Collection
EPA
has
sought
to
reduce
the
reporting
frequency
to
the
minimum
that
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
rules.
It
would
not
be
possible
to
collect
this
information
less
frequently
and
still
assure
that
the
requirements
of
permit
regulations
are
met
by
owner/
operators.
The
reporting
frequency
is
essential
to
assure
that
the
effect
of
any
changes
in
the
permit
contents
are
made
known
to
EPA.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
This
ICR
adheres
to
the
guidelines
stated
in
the
1980
Paperwork
Reduction
Act,
as
amended,
OMB's
implementing
regulations,
EPA's
Information
Collection

when
the
extent
and
manner
of
its
operation
would
make
closure
the
most
expensive,
as
indicated
by
its
closure
plan
(§
264.142(
a)(
1));

­­
The
annual
cost
of

(ii)
Respondent
activities:

Since
cost
estimates
for

care
are
submitted
with
the
Part
B
permit
application,
activities
associated
with
developing
the
estimates
are
discussed
in
this
ICR.
However,
prior
to
submitting
a
permit
application,
interim
status
facilities
must
prepare
closure
and
post­
closure
cost
estimates
under
§§
265.142
and
265.144,
respectively.
Therefore,
preparation
of
the
closure
and
post­
closure
cost
estimates
for
interim
status
facilities
are
discussed
in
the
General
Facility
Standards
ICR
(#
1571).

Owner/
operators
will
need
to
engage
in
the
following
activities
in

COLLECTION
METHODOLOGY
AND
MANAGEMENT
In
collecting
and
analyzing
the
information
required
for
Part
B
permit
applications,
permit
modifications
and
special
permits,
EPA
uses
state­
of­
the­
art
electronic
equipment
such
as
personal
computers
and
applicable
data
base
software,
when
appropriate.

5(
c)
SMALL
ENTITY
FLEXIBILITY
Some
respondents
will
be
small
organizations.
In
certain
cases
they
will
be
able
to
complete
recordkeeping,
reporting,
and
application
requirements
in
less
time
than
large
organizations
because
their
permits
will
not
be
as
detailed,
or
they
will
not
be
required
to
conduct
as
many
monitoring
activities
or
submit
as
many
reports
because
they
have
fewer
activities
requiring
monitoring
and
reporting.
However,
a
parallel
does
not
always
exist
between
the
size
of
an
organization
and
the
amount
of
time
needed
to
maintain
records
or
submit
reports.
For
example,
a
chemical
landfill
may
be
classified
as
a
small
business,
but
the
facility
employs
numerous
processes
that
necessitate
a
detailed
application
and
supporting
records
and
reporting.
EPA
has
taken
steps
to
minimize
the
burdens
for
all
facilities
whether
they
are
small
businesses
or
not.

COLLECTION
SCHEDULE
Demonstrations
and
Exemptions
from
Requirements
Because
the
regulations
do
not
provide
a
specific
time
frame
for
submitting
exemption
demonstrations,
this
ICR
assumes
that
all
demonstrations
are
submitted
along
with
the
Part
B
application.
However,
tank
system
owner/
operators
must
notify
EPA
of
their
intent
to
submit
a
demonstration
for
a
variance
from
secondary
containment
as
follows:

°
For
existing
tank
systems,
at
least
24
months
prior
to
the
date
that
secondary
containment
must
be
provided;
and
°
For
new
tank
systems,
at
least
30
days
prior
to
entering
into
a
contract
for
installation.

In
addition,
the
demonstration
for
a
variance
must
be
completed
within
180
days
after
notifying
the
Regional
Administrator
of
an
intent
to
conduct
the
demonstration.

Contents
of
the
Part
B
Application
Owner/
operators
of
existing
TSDFs
may
be
required
to
submit
their
Part
B
application
at
any
time
after
promulgation
of
Phase
II.
Owner/
operators
may
voluntarily
submit
their
Part
B
application
at
any
time.
Owner/
operators
of
new
TSDFs
must
submit
their
Part
B
application
at
least
180
days
before
physical
construction
is
expected
to
commence.

This
ICR
assumes
that
all
information
required
under
§270.14
through
§270.29
is
submitted
along
with
the
Part
B
application,
with
the
following
exceptions:

under
Part
265
standards
may
submit
a
petition
to
EPA
for
a
determination
that
a
post­
closure
permit
is
not
required.
If
the
owner/
operator
has
not
submitted
a
Part
B
application
for
a
post­
closure
permit,
the
owner/
operator
may
petition
the
EPA
for
a
determination
that
a
post­
closure
permit
is
not
required.
If
the
owner/
operator
has
submitted
a
Part
B
application
for
a
post­
closure
permit,
the
owner/
operator
may
request
a
determination
based
on
information
contained
in
the
application.
The
collection
schedule
for
these
activities
will
vary,
but
submissions
should
be
made
to
EPA
within
a
reasonable
time
frame.

Estimating
Agency
Burden
And
Cost
Agency
burden
and
cost
estimates
are
presented
in
Exhibits
5
through

Based
on
the
1999
GS
pay
schedule,
EPA
estimates
an
average
hourly
labor
cost
of
$60.42
for
legal
staff
(GS­
15,
Step
1),
$38.85
for
managerial
staff
(GS­
14,

$26.91
for
technical
staff
GS12
Step
5),
and
$16.36
for
clerical
staff
(GS­
5,
Step
1).
To
derive
these
hourly
estimates,
EPA
divided
the
annual
compensation
estimates
by
2,080,
which
is
the
number
of
hours
in
the
Federal
work­
year,

Releases
from
Regulated
Units
EPA
estimates
that
two
percent
of
the
31
facilities
with
land
disposal
units
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(approximately
one
facility)
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
exemption
from
the
ground­
water
monitoring
requirements
under
this
section.
EPA
anticipates
that
no
facilities
will
submit
a
no­
migration
demonstration
under
§264.90(
b)(
4).

Specific
Unit
Requirements
(1)
Tank
Systems
EPA
estimates
that
five
percent
of
the
51
facilities
with
tank
systems
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(three
facilities)
will
submit
a
demonstration
under
§264.193(
g)(
1).
In
addition,
EPA
estimates
that
five
percent
of
these
facilities
(three
facilities)
will
submit
demonstrations
for
exemption
from
the
24­
hour
leak
detection
requirement,
and
that
three
facilities
will
also
submit
a
demonstration
for
exemption
from
the
24­
hour
waste
removal
requirement.
EPA
also
estimates
that
three
facilities
will
submit
a
written
description
of
an
equivalent
containment
device.

(2)
Surface
Impoundments
EPA
estimates
that
one
percent
of
the
14
facilities
with
surface
impoundment
units
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(approximately
zero
facilities)
will
submit
the
demonstrations
for
an
exemption
from
the
liner
requirements
of
§264.221(
a)
and
the
double
liner
and
leachate
collection
and
removal
system
requirements
of
§264.221(
c).
In
addition,
EPA
estimates
that
zero
facilities
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
a
waiver
of
the
double
liner
requirements
for
monofills.
EPA
also
estimates
that
54
percent
(approximately
eight
facilities)
will
submit
a
demonstration
showing
that
the
leak
detection
system
will
not
be
adversely
affected
by
the
presence
of
ground
water,
and
that
50
percent
(seven
facilities)
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
an
exemption
for
a
replacement
surface
impoundment
unit.

(3)
Waste
Piles
EPA
anticipates
that
none
of
the
facilities
with
waste
piles
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
an
exemption
from
the
liner
and
leachate
collection
system
requirements
of
§§
264.251(
a)
and
(c).
EPA
estimates
that
all
four
facilities
will
submit
a
demonstration
showing
that
the
leak
detection
system
will
not
be
adversely
affected
by
the
presence
of
ground
water.
EPA
also
estimates
that
29
percent
of
the
facilities
(approximately
110
one
facility)
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
an
exemption
for
a
replacement
waste
pile
unit.

(4)
Land
Treatment
EPA
does
not
anticipate
that
any
facilities
with
land
treatment
units
will
submit
a
demonstration
under
§264.272
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR.

(5)
Landfills
EPA
estimates
that
none
of
the
nine
facilities
with
landfills
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
will
submit
demonstrations
for
an
exemption
from
the
liner
requirements
of
§264.301(
a)
and
the
double
liner
and
leachate
collection
and
removal
system
requirements
of
§264.301(
c).
EPA
does
not
anticipate
that
any
facilities
with
landfills
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
a
waiver
of
the
double
liner
requirements
for
monofills.
EPA
estimates
that
two
thirds
of
the
facilities
with
landfills
(six
facilities)
will
submit
a
demonstration
showing
that
the
leak
detection
system
will
not
be
adversely
affected
by
the
presence
of
ground
water.
EPA
also
estimates
that
one
third
of
facilities
with
landfills
(two
facilities)
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
an
exemption
for
a
replacement
landfill
unit.

(6)
Incinerators
EPA
estimates
that
one
percent
of
the
seven
facilities
with
incinerators
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(approximately
zero
facilities)
will
submit
a
demonstration
under
this
section.

Contents
of
the
Part
B
Application
Exhibit
2
details
the
universe
of
facilities
affected
by
each
discrete
information
collection
activity
associated
with
this
group
of
requirements.
In
addition,
Exhibit
2
presents
the
total
burden
and
cost
for
each
of
these
information
collection
activities
based
on
this
number
of
affected
facilities
and
the
burden
and
cost
estimates
developed
under
Sections
6(
a)
and
6(
b).
Below,
EPA
describes
the
assumptions
used
in
estimating
these
specific
universe
numbers
based
on
the
overall
universe
estimates
presented
in
Tables
1,
2,
and
3.

Legal
Review
EPA
estimates
that
all
facilities
submitting
either
a
Part
B
permit
application
(62
facilities)
or
a
post­
closure
permit
application
(33
facilities)
will
have
legal
counsel
review
the
completed
application
prior
to
submittal
to
EPA,
even
though
there
is
no
regulatory
requirement
to
do
so.

General
Information
Section
270.1(
c)(
5)
applies
only
to
facilities
with
surface
impoundments,
land
treatment
units,
and
waste
piles
closing
by
removal
or
decontamination
prior
to
November,
1984.
Therefore,
EPA
estimates
that
no
facilities
will
submit
a
petition
under
this
section
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR.

Permit
Application
Section
270.10(
j)
applies
only
to
Part
B
permit
applications
submitted
by
facilities
that
store,
treat,
or
dispose
of
hazardous
waste
in
a
surface
impoundment
or
landfill.
Therefore,
23
facilities
(14
with
surface
impoundments
and
nine
with
landfills)
will
submit
the
information
required
under
this
section.

General
Requirements
EPA
estimates
that
one
percent
of
the
62
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(approximately
one
facility)
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
relief
from
specific
Part
B
information
requirements
under
§270.14(
a).

General
Facility
Standards
Based
on
previous
experience,
EPA
makes
the
following
estimates
regarding
the
Part
B
requirements
for
general
facility
standards:

°
All
facilities
submitting
either
a
Part
B
permit
application
(62
facilities)
or
a
postclosure
permit
application
(33
facilities)
will
read
the
regulations,
prepare
a
written
description
of
the
facility,
and
submit
and
file
the
general
facility
standards
information;
114
°
All
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(62
facilities)
will
collect
the
information
required
under
Section
270.14(
b)(
2).

°
The
burden
associated
with
preparing
the
waste
analysis
plan,
inspection
schedule,
contingency
plan
and
personnel
training
programs
for
interim
status
facilities
are
covered
in
the
General
Facility
Standards
ICR.
Therefore,
this
ICR
covers
only
the
burden
for
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(62
facilities).
In
addition,
facilities
will
incur
operations
and
maintenance
costs
to
collect
the
data
for
the
waste
analysis
plan,
to
write
the
plan,
and
to
collect
data
for
the
contingency
plan.

°
One
percent
of
the
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(one
facility)
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
a
waiver
of
the
security
procedures
and
equipment
requirements
(§
270.14(
b)(
4)).
EPA
estimates
that
none
of
these
facilities
will
receive
a
waiver;
therefore,
62
facilities
will
prepare
a
description
of
security
procedures
and
equipment
requirements;

°
One
percent
of
the
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(one
facility)
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
an
exemption
from
special
equipment
requirements;

°
One
percent
of
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(one
facility)
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
an
exemption
from
aisle
space
requirements
under
§270.14(
b)(
6);

°
Forty
percent
of
the
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(25
facilities)
will
submit
information
regarding
ignitable,
reactive,
or
incompatible
wastes
under
§270.14(
b)(
9);

°
All
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(62
facilities)
will
submit
a
description
of
traffic
patterns,
volume,
and
control,
and
compile
and
document
facility
location
information;

°
No
facilities
will
prepare
a
demonstration
of
compliance
with
the
seismic
standard
(§
270.14(
b)(
11));

°
EPA
does
not
anticipate
that
any
facilities
submitting
a
post­
closure
permit
application
are
located
in
a
100­
year
floodplain.
Therefore,
EPA
does
not
anticipate
that
these
facilities
will
submit
an
exemption
demonstration.
Consequently,
all
33
facilities
will
prepare
an
engineering
analysis
and
engineering
studies;

°
Five
percent
of
the
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(three
facilities)
will
submit
a
compliance
plan
and
schedule;

°
All
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(62
facilities)
will
submit
a
description
of
the
necessary
closure
activities,

Financial
Assurance
All
facilities
submitting
either
a
Part
B
permit
application
(62
facilities)
or
a
post­
closure
permit
application
(33
facilities)
must

with
the
exception
of
those
using
State
financial
mechanisms
in
lieu
of
the
Federal
mechanisms
(one
percent,
or
one
facility).
EPA
does
not
anticipate
that
this
facility
will
be
required
to
submit
additional
information.
EPA
estimates
that
no
facilities
will
be
required
by
EPA
to
furnish
additional
information
under
the
State
assumption
of
responsibility
requirements.
All
facilities
with
land
disposal
units
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(31
facilities)
must
also
submit
documentation
of
liability
coverage.

EPA
estimates
that
one
percent
of
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(one
facility)
will
submit
an
application
for
variance
from
the
financial
responsibility
requirements,
but
that
none
will
obtain
a
variance.
In
addition,
EPA
estimates
that
one
percent
(one
facility)
will
be
required
to
submit
additional
information
under
§264.147(
d).

Other
Requirements
(1)
Topographical
Map
All
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(62
facilities)
must
submit
a
topographical
map
as
required
under
§270.14(
b)(
19).
These
facilities
are
expected
to
incur
an
operations
and
maintenance
cost
associated
with
developing
and
submitting
the
map.

Ground­
Water
Protection
(1)
General
Ground­
Water
Monitoring
Requirements
All
facilities
with
land
disposal
units
submitting
a
Part
B
Permit
Application
(31
facilities)
are
required
to
develop
a
ground­
water
sampling
and
analysis
procedure
and
an
appropriate
statistical
method.
All
facilities
submitting
post­
closure
permit
applications
for
land
disposal
units
that
have
lost
interim
status
(16
facilities)
must
summarize
the
interim
status
ground­
water
monitoring
data
required
under
§270.14(
c)(
1).
EPA
estimates
that
ten
percent
of
these
facilities
(approximately
2
facilities)
will
submit
information
on
plume
contamination
as
required
in
§270.14(
c)(
4).

(2)
Detection
Monitoring,
Compliance
Monitoring,
and
Corrective
Action
Programs
All
facilities
with
land
disposal
units
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(31
facilities),
as
well
as
facilities
submitting
a
post­
closure
permit
application
for
land
disposal
units
that
have
lost
interim
status
(16
facilities)
are
required
to
perform
ground
water
monitoring.
EPA
estimates
that,
of
these
47
facilities
conducting
ground­
water
monitoring
activities,
53
percent
(25
facilities)
will
submit
information
to
establish
a
detection
monitoring
program,
ten
percent
(five
facilities)
will
submit
information
to
establish
a
compliance
monitoring
program,
and
37
percent
(17
facilities)
will
submit
information
to
establish
a
corrective
action
program.

EPA
estimates
that
ten
percent
of
the
facilities
submitting
information
to
establish
a
corrective
action
program
(approximately
two
facilities)
will
also
submit
a
submittal
schedule
under
§270.14(
c)(
8)(
iii)&(
iv).
EPA
does
not
anticipate
that
any
facilities
will
submit
information
on
alternate
concentration
limits
in
their
Part
B
permit
applications.

Solid
Waste
Management
Units
All
facilities
submitting
either
a
Part
B
permit
application
or
a
post­
closure
permit
application
(95
facilities)
must
submit
information
on
solid
waste
management
units.
Based
on
previous
experience,
EPA
estimates
that
the
majority
of
these
facilities
will
have
already
submitted
this
information
while
they
were
operating
under
interim
status
or
in
response
to
section
3007
letters.
Therefore,
EPA
estimates
that
only
23
percent
(22
facilities)
will
submit
this
information
with
their
permit
applications.

Specific
Part
B
Information
Requirements
(1)
Containers
All
facilities
with
containers
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(58
facilities)
must
provide
a
description
of
the
containment
system
for
each
unit
(754
units)
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
§264.175.
EPA
estimates
that
five
percent
of
these
units
(38
units)
store
containers
holding
wastes
that
do
not
contain
free
liquids.
Owner/
operators
of
these
units
will
submit
the
information
required
under
§270.15(
b).
EPA
estimates
that
one
percent
of
containers
(8
units)
hold
ignitable
or
reactive
waste,
and
that
one
percent
of
containers
(8
117
units)
hold
incompatible
wastes.
Owner/
operators
of
these
units
will
submit
the
appropriate
information
under
§270.15(
c)
and
(d).

(2)
Tank
Systems
All
facilities
with
tank
systems
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(51
facilities)
must
include
an
assessment
of
the
integrity
of
each
tank
system
(1,
122
units).
In
addition,
these
facilities
must
submit
the
information
required
under
§§
270.16(
b)­(
g)
and
(i).
This
includes
a
description
of
the
secondary
containment
system,
since
EPA
estimates
that
no
units
will
be
granted
an
exemption
from
the
secondary
containment
requirements
under
§264.193(
g).
EPA
estimates
that
the
facilities
with
of
five
percent
of
these
tank
system
units
(56
units)
will
be
required
to
submit
information
regarding
ignitable,
reactive,
or
incompatible
wastes.

(3)
Surface
Impoundments
All
facilities
with
surface
impoundments
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(14
facilities)
are
subject
to
the
requirements
of
§270.17(
b)­(
g)
for
these
units
(224
units).
In
addition,
all
facilities
submitting
a
post­
closure
permit
application
for
surface
impoundments
that
have
lost
interim
status
(7
facilities)
are
subject
to
these
same
requirements
for
their
surface
impoundment
units
(112
units).
However,
because
post­
closure
facilities
will
have
submitted
the
plans,
engineering
report,
and
description
of
inspection
procedures
under
interim
status,
the
burden
associated
with
these
activities
for
post­
closure
facilities
is
covered
in
the
General
Facility
Standards
ICR.
Although
facilities
with
surface
impoundments
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
will
submit
a
description
of
procedures
for
removal
from
service
and
the
description
of
hazardous
waste
residues
and
contaminated
materials
to
be
removed
at
closure
for
each
unit
(224
units),
facilities
submitting
post­
closure
permit
applications
for
surface
impoundments
that
have
lost
interim
status
will
only
need
to
submit
this
information
for
10%
of
their
units
(nine
units)
because
90%
will
have
already
submitted
closure
plans
containing
this
information.
EPA
does
not
estimate
that
any
facilities
will
be
required
to
submit
information
regarding
ignitable
and
reactive
wastes,
incompatible
wastes
or
incompatible
wastes
and
materials.
Furthermore,
EPA
also
does
not
anticipate
that
any
facilities
will
submit
management
plans
for
F­
wastes
as
required
under
§270.17(
i).

(4)
Waste
Piles
All
facilities
with
waste
piles
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
will
submit
the
information
required
by
§270.18
for
each
waste
pile
unit
(16
units).
However,
the
Agency
does
not
anticipate
that
any
facilities
will
seek
an
exemption
from
the
liner
and
leachate
collection
requirements
of
264.251
or
the
ground­
water
monitoring
requirements
of
Subpart
F
of
Part
264.
EPA
also
does
not
expect
that
any
units
will
be
used
to
handle
ignitable,
reactive,
or
incompatible
wastes
or
F­
wastes.
Additionally,
facilities
submitting
a
post­
closure
permit
application
for
waste
pile
units
that
have
lost
interim
status
are
subject
to
these
requirements.
However,
because
this
data
will
have
been
submitted
under
interim
status
for
these
units,
the
requirements
are
burdened
in
the
General
Facilities
ICR.
118
(5)
Incinerators
All
facilities
with
incinerators
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
will
submit
a
trial
burn
plan
or
results
of
a
trial
burn
under
§270.19(
b),
or
information
in
lieu
of
a
trial
burn
under
§270.19(
c)
for
each
incinerator
(70
units).
EPA
estimates
that,
for
60
percent
of
the
incinerators
(42
units),
a
trial
burn
plan
or
results
of
a
trial
burn
will
be
submitted;
and
information
in
lieu
of
a
trial
burn
will
be
submitted
for
40
percent
(28
units).
EPA
does
not
expect
that
the
information
required
under
§270.19(
a)
for
ignitable,
corrosive,
or
reactive
wastes
will
be
submitted
for
any
of
these
units.

(6)
Land
Treatment
EPA
estimates
that,
of
the
4
facilities
with
land
treatment
units
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application,
none
will
submit
the
information
pertaining
to
food­
chain
crops
(§
270.20(
d)&(
e)),
reactive
wastes,
incompatible
wastes,
or
F­
wastes.
In
addition,
each
of
the
two
facilities
submitting
post­
closure
permit
applications
for
land
treatment
units
that
have
lost
interim
status
will
prepare
a
description
and
maintenance
plan
for
the
vegetative
cover,
and
submit
and
file
the
required
information
for
each
unit
(20
units).

(7)
Landfills
All
facilities
with
landfills
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(nine
facilities)
must
submit
the
information
required
under
§§
270.21(
a),
(b),
(d)
and
(e)
for
each
landfill
(117
units).
Facilities
submitting
post­
closure
permit
applications
for
landfills
that
have
lost
interim
status
(5
facilities)
must
read
the
regulations,
prepare
plans
and
engineering
reports
describing
the
final
cover,
prepare
descriptions
of
post­
closure
maintenance
and
monitoring,
and
submit
and
file
the
required
information
for
each
landfill
(65
units).
EPA
estimates
that
facilities
submitting
Part
B
permit
applications
will
submit
a
demonstration
for
exemption
from
Subpart
F
requirements
under
§264.302(
a)
for
one
percent
of
their
units
(approximately
one
unit),
and
therefore
will
be
required
to
prepare
and
submit
the
plans
and
engineering
report
described
in
§270.21(
c)
for
this
unit.
EPA
does
not
expect
that
any
facilities
will
submit
an
explanation
of
compliance
for
ignitable
and
reactive
wastes,
incompatible
wastes,
or
landfilled
containers
of
hazardous
waste.
EPA
also
does
not
expect
that
any
facilities
will
submit
a
waste
management
plan
for
F­
wastes
in
their
Part
B
applications.

(8)
Miscellaneous
Units
All
facilities
with
miscellaneous
units
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(15
facilities)
must
submit
the
information
required
under
§270.23(
a)­(
c)
for
each
unit
(103
units).
EPA
estimates
that
these
facilities
will
provide
a
report
on
the
effectiveness
of
their
treatment
methods
under
§270.23(
d)
for
all
103
units
and
a
demonstration
of
treatment
effectiveness
for
50
percent
of
the
units
(52
units).
119
(9)
Process
Vents
and
Equipment
Leaks
EPA
estimates
that
no
facilities
submitting
Part
B
permit
applications
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR
will
have
process
vents
and
equipment
leaks
subject
to
the
requirements
of
Subpart
AA
or
Subpart
BB.

(10)
Drip
Pads
All
facilities
with
drip
pads
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(one
facility)
will
prepare
and
submit
the
list
of
hazardous
wastes
and
the
plans
and
engineering
report
for
each
drip
pad
(four
units).

Schedules
of
Compliance
EPA
estimates
that
five
percent
of
all
facilities
submitting
a
Part
B
permit
application
(three
facilities)
will
submit
a
schedule
of
compliance
with
their
Part
B
permit
application.
Of
these
facilities,
one
percent
(approximately
zero
facilities)
will
submit
an
alternative
schedule
of
compliance,
and
one
percent
(approximately
zero
facilities)
will
submit
an
application
for
two
compliance
schedules.
EPA
does
not
anticipate
that
any
facilities
will
submit
evidence
of
firm
public
commitment
to
cease
conducting
regulated
activities.

Exhibit

details
the
universe
of
facilities
affected
by
each
discrete
information
collection
activity
associated
with
this
group
of
requirements.
In
addition,
Exhibit
3
presents
the
total
burden
and
cost
for
each
of
these
information
collection
activities
based
on
this
number
of
affected
facilities
and
the
burden
and
cost
estimates
developed
under
Sections
6(
a)
and
6(
b).
Below,
EPA
describes
the
assumptions
used
in
estimating
these
specific
universe
numbers
based
on
the
overall
universe
estimates
presented
in
Tables
1,
2,
and
3.

Permit
Modifications
(1)
Transfer
of
Permits
In
addition
to
the
permit
modifications
discussed
below,
EPA
estimates
that
ten
facilities
will
submit
the
written
agreement
required
to
transfer
ownership
or
operational
control
of
a
facility.

(2)
Permit
Modification
at
the
Request
of
the
Agency
EPA
estimates
that
four
facilities
will
be
required
to
modify
their
permits
at
the
request
of
the
Agency.

(3)
Permit
Modification
at
the
Request
of
the
Permittee
EPA
estimates
that
138
facilities
will
submit
information
required
under
270.13
through
270.21
and
270.63
for
Class
1
modifications,
and
an
additional
48
facilities
will
submit
information
required
under
270.42(
b)
and
(c)
for
Class
2
or
3
modifications.

(4)
Temporary
Authorizations
EPA
estimates
that
25
percent
of
the
facilities
seeking
a
Class
2
or
Class
3
permit
modification
at
their
own
request
(12
facilities)
will
submit
a
request
for
temporary
authorization
under
§270.42(
e).

(5)
Newly
Regulated
Wastes
and
Units
EPA
does
not
estimate
that
any
rules
will
regulate
new
wastes
or
units
in
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR.

(6)
Corrective
Action
Management
Units
EPA
estimates
that
no
facilities
will
designate
a
corrective
action
management
unit
(CAMU).
Therefore,
no
facilities
will
initiate
modifications
to
their
permits
to
incorporate
the
CAMU
(264.552(
g)).
129
Expiration
and
Continuation
of
Permits
EPA
estimates
that
32
facilities
will
submit
applications
annually
for
permit
renewal
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR.

Interim
Status
Termination
of
Interim
Status
EPA
does
not
expect
there
to
be
any
regulatory
or
statutory
amendments
that
would
cause
land
disposal
facilities
to
come
under
new
permit
requirements
during
the
period
covered
by
this

Therefore,
EPA
does
not

Reasons
For
Change
In
Burden
The
overall
annual
burden
associated
with
the
Part
B
requirements,
177,543
hours,
represents
an
increase
of
52,516
hours
over
the
previous
version
of
this
ICR.
This
difference
is
due
to
the
higher
number
of
units
associated
with
affected
facilities,
based
on
the
current
version
of
the
RCRIS
data
base.
EPA
would
note,
however,
that
specific
unit
data
in
RCRIS
are
currently
undergoing
a
detailed
data
quality
review
(which
is
expected
to
be
completed
around
the
end
of
1999)
and
that
the
current
universe
of
units
in
RCRIS
associated
with
individual
facilities
is
too
high.
Nonetheless,
EPA
decided
to
use
the
specific
unit
numbers
from
the
current
version
of
RCRIS.
In
doing
so,
EPA
has
likely
overstated
the
estimated
burden
of
the
paperwork
requirements
covered
by
this
ICR.
These
revisions
do
not
reflect
any
change
in
the
Part
B
requirements;
they
represent
instead
a
more
accurate
representation
of
the
respondent
universe
and
the
burden
and
costs
that
respondents
will
incur
as
a
result
of
this
information
collection.
