1(

Short
Characterization
Subtitle
C
of
the
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
of
1976
(
RCRA)
creates
a
comprehensive
program
for
the
safe
management
of
hazardous
waste.
Section
3004
of
RCRA
requires
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
that
treat,
store,
or
dispose
of
hazardous
waste
to
comply
with
standards
established
by
EPA
that
are
"
necessary
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment."
Section
3005
provides
for
implementation
of
these
standards
under
permits
issued
to
owners
and
operators
by
EPA
or
authorized
States.
Section
3005
also
allows
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
in
existence
when
the
regulations
came
into
effect
to
comply
with
applicable
notice
requirements
to
operate
until
a
permit
is
issued
or
denied.
This
statutory
authorization
to
operate
prior
to
permit
determination
is
commonly
known
as
"
interim
status."
Owners
and
operators
of
interim
status
facilities
also
must
comply
with
standards
set
under
Section
3004.

EPA
promulgated
ground­
water
monitoring
standards
for
interim
status
facilities
in
1980
(
45
FR
33154;
May
19,
1980),
codified
in
40
CFR
Part
265,
Subpart
F,
and
for
permitted
facilities
in
1982
(
47
FR
32274;
July
26,
1982),
codified
in
40
CFR
Part
264,
Subpart
F.
Both
sets
of
standards
establish
programs
for
protecting
ground
water
from
releases
of
hazardous
wastes
from
land
disposal
facilities
(
LDFs).
Under
Part
264,
LDFs
also
are
known
as
regulated
units
and
include
surface
impoundments,
waste
piles,
land
treatment
units,
and
landfills.

This
ICR
examines
the
ground­
water
monitoring
standards
for
permitted
and
interim
status
facilities
at
40
CFR
Parts
264
and
265,
as
specified.
Sections
1
through
5
of
this
ICR
describe
the
groundwater
monitoring
information
collection
requirements.
In
Section
6,
EPA
estimates
the
annual
hour
and
cost
burden
to
respondents
and
the
Agency
in
carrying
out
these
requirements.

In
the
following
paragraphs,
EPA
summarizes
the
terms
of
clearance
of
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
that
apply
to
this
ICR
(
italicized)
and
the
efforts
EPA
has
taken
to
address
them:

°
OMB
has
asked
EPA
to
examine
whether
semi­
annual
groundwater
monitoring
under
the
provisions
of
40
CFR
264.99(
f)
is
needed
in
all
cases,
or
whether
less
frequent
monitoring
may
be
sufficient
to
achieve
the
purpose
of
Part
264
in
certain
geological
terrains
or
under
certain
site­
specific
conditions.
Based
on
the
results
of
this
examination,
OMB
recommends
that
EPA
initiate
rulemaking
to
amend
Part
264
as
appropriate.

During
the
past
several
years,
EPA
has
undertaken
a
comprehensive
effort
to
review
all
of
the
RCRA
hazardous
waste
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
and
their
burden
on
the
public,
regulated
entities
and
the
States;
review
burden
reduction
ideas
developed
by
EPA
offices
and
the
regulated
community;
and
seek
input
from
the
States
and
others.
As
part
of
this
effort,
EPA
reviewed
and
evaluated
all
of
the
ground­
water
monitoring
information
collection
requirements
2
under
Parts
264
and
265,
including
the
requirement
at
section
264.99(
f)
for
semi­
annual
sampling
for
facilities
performing
compliance
monitoring.
Based
on
this
evaluation,
EPA
chose
to
retain
the
sampling
frequency
at
264.99(
f).
However,
EPA
has
identified
many
other
ground­
water
monitoring
requirements
to
streamline
or
eliminate,
such
as
streamlining
certain
sampling
requirements;
adding
increased
flexibility
for
regulators
to
tailor
monitoring
requirements
to
sitespecific
conditions;
and
eliminating
duplicative
or
unnecessary
reporting.

On
June
18,
1999,
EPA
issued
a
Notice
of
Data
Availability,
requesting
public
comment
on
these
and
other
ideas
for
reducing
burden
(
64
FR
32859).
Since
then,
EPA
has
reviewed
and
considered
the
public
comments
and
continued
its
analysis
of
burden
reduction
strategies.
Based
on
these
efforts,
the
Agency
intends
to
propose
a
rulemaking
in
the
very
near
future
to
streamline
or
eliminate
many
RCRA
paperwork
standards.

°
OMB
has
asked
EPA
to
revise
its
estimate
of
burden
to
ensure
that
the
respondent
burden
attributable
to
contractor
labor
is
appropriately
counted
in
the
Agency's
estimate
of
the
total
burden
hours
imposed
by
the
collection.

In
preparing
this
ICR,
EPA
conducted
a
thorough
review
of
its
burden
assumptions
to
evaluate
whether,
and
the
extent
to
which,
the
respondent
hour
burden
includes
hours
for
both
regulated
entities
and
their
contractors.
From
this
review,
EPA
concluded
that
the
ICR
fully
accounted
for
regulated
entity
labor
hours,
but
not
contractor
labor
hours.
The
ICR
accounted
for
contractor
labor
costs
only
(
expressed
as
O&
M
costs
in
the
exhibits).

To
ascertain
burden
estimates
for
both
regulated
entities
and
their
contractors,
EPA
took
several
steps.
For
most
of
the
estimates,
EPA
referred
to
the
approved
"
Part
B
Permit
Application,
Permit
Modifications,
and
Special
Permits,"
ICR
number
1573.
The
Part
B
ICR
examines
many
activities
that
are
similar
to
the
activities
in
this
ICR
(
e.
g.,
the
Part
B
ICR
examines
ground
water­
related
activities
under
40
CFR
270.14(
c)).
Because
the
Part
B
ICR
has
already
been
revised
to
fully
reflect
contractor
labor,
EPA
incorporated
the
Part
B
ICR's
burden
estimates
into
this
ICR,
as
appropriate.
In
addition,
EPA
conducted
limited
consultations
with
industry
to
ascertain
the
burden
to
regulated
entities
and
their
contractors
for
certain
activities
that
are
not
examined
in
the
Part
B
ICR
(
e.
g.,
ground­
water
sampling).
Finally,
EPA
used
its
best
judgment
in
a
few
circumstances
to
develop
burden
estimates
for
regulated
entities
and
contractors
(
e.
g.,
for
notifications
and
other
low­
burden
activities).
From
these
efforts,
the
Agency
is
confident
that
this
ICR
reflects
labor
hours
for
both
regulated
entities
and
their
contractors
to
perform
the
groundwater
monitoring
requirements.

The
following
paragraphs
describe
the
information
collection
requirements
addressed
in
this
ICR.

PERMITTED
FACILITIES
40
CFR

facilities.
All
of
the
information
collection
requirements
for
interim
status
LDFs
are
covered
by
this
ICR.

Applicability
and
Alternative
Ground­
Water
Monitoring
Systems
Under
section
265.90,
all
or
part
of
the
interim
status
ground­
water
monitoring
requirements
may
be
waived
if
the
owner
or
operator
provides
(
1)
a
written
demonstration
establishing
that
corrosive
wastes
from
the
facility
will
be
neutralized
to
the
extent
that
they
no
longer
meet
corrosivity
characteristics
before
they
can
migrate
out
of
the
impoundment,
and/
or
(
2)
a
written
demonstration,
kept
at
the
facility,
which
establishes
that
there
is
a
low
potential
for
migration
of
hazardous
waste
or
hazardous
waste
constituents
from
the
facility
through
the
uppermost
aquifer
to
water
supply
wells
or
to
surface
water.
The
first
demonstration
applies
only
to
surface
impoundments
that
are
used
to
neutralize
wastes
which
are
hazardous
solely
because
they
exhibit
corrosivity
characteristics,
and
contain
no
other
hazardous
wastes.

40
CFR
265.90
also
allows
some
owners
and
operators
to
implement
an
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
system.
Owners
and
operators
installing
an
alternative
system
must
submit
a
specific
plan
that
meets
the
regulatory
standards
of
section
265.93(
d)(
3).
Owners
and
operators
of
these
facilities
must
also
conduct
a
ground­
water
quality
assessment
program,
report
the
initial
results
of
the
assessment
program
to
the
Regional
Administrator,
and
keep
records
of
subsequent
quarterly
assessments
until
final
closure
of
the
facility.
An
annual
ground­
water
quality
assessment
report
is
also
required.

40
CFR
265.91
also
allows
some
owners
and
operators
to
select
an
alternate
hydraulically
downgradient
monitoring
well
location,
provided
they
meet
certain
criteria,
make
and
a
submit
a
demonstration
and
obtain
a
certification
from
a
qualified
ground­
water
scientist.

Sampling,
Analysis
and
Assessment
40
CFR
265.92
and
265.93
require
owners
and
operators
of
non­
exempt
interim
status
facilities
to
develop
and
conduct
a
sampling
and
analysis
program
to
monitor
for
ground­
water
contamination,
and
to
implement
a
ground­
water
quality
assessment
program
if
contamination
is
detected.
Ground­
water
quality
assessment
plans
must
be
submitted
to
EPA.
The
sampling
and
analysis
plan
must
be
kept
at
the
facility,
and
made
available
for
inspection
so
that
EPA
may
refer
to
it
in
evaluating
the
effectiveness
of
the
program.
Owners
and
operators
must
also
provide
notification
of
changes
in
indicator
parameter
concentrations
and
provide
an
initial
ground­
water
quality
assessment
report.
Notifications
and
reports
are
collected
and
analyzed
by
EPA
in
order
to
provide
immediate
information
on
contamination
and
changes
in
ground­
water
quality.
5
Recordkeeping
and
Recording
Specific
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
for
interim
status
LDFs
are
established
under
40
CFR
265.94.
These
regulations
require
that
facilities
not
conducting
ground­
water
quality
assessments
keep
records
of
all
ground­
water
analytical
data
at
the
facility.
These
facilities
also
are
required
to
submit
quarterly
reports
during
the
first
year
on
drinking
water
suitability
parameters,
and
annual
reports
on
indicator
parameter
concentrations,
variations
from
background
levels,
and
ground­
water
surface
elevations.
Facilities
conducting
ground­
water
quality
assessments
must
keep
records
of
the
data
obtained
during
the
assessments,
and
submit
annual
ground­
water
quality
assessment
reports.
Reports
collected
under
this
section
provide
EPA
with
the
information
necessary
to
evaluate
the
impact
of
the
facility
on
ground­
water
quality.
Records
are
not
submitted
to
EPA
but
must
be
made
available
for
inspection.

2(
a)
NEED
AND
AUTHORITY
FOR
THE
COLLECTION
PERMITTED
FACILITIES
Detection
Monitoring
40
CFR
264.98(
c)
requires
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
conducting
a
detection
monitoring
program
to
keep
a
record
of
all
ground­
water
analytical
data
obtained
under
the
program.
Owners
and
operators
must
notify
EPA
of
any
statistically
significant
evidence
of
ground­
water
contamination
(
§
264.98(
g)(
1)),
but
may
demonstrate
that
such
contamination
is
caused
by
a
source
other
than
the
regulated
facility.
Owners
and
operators
detecting
contamination
are
required
to
submit
an
engineering
feasibility
plan
for
a
corrective
action
program
and,
if
they
wish
to
seek
approval
for
an
ACL,
all
data
necessary
to
establish
an
ACL
(
§
264.98(
g)(
5)).
Owners,
operators
and
EPA
use
the
information
required
under
this
section
to
determine
whether
the
facility
is
affecting
ground­
water
quality,
and
whether
a
compliance
monitoring
program
under
section
264.99
is
warranted.
This
information
is
also
used
for
developing
and
evaluating
an
appropriate
compliance
monitoring
program.
The
detection
monitoring
requirements
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
preventing
undetected
releases
of
hazardous
waste
from
treatment,
storage,
and
disposal
facilities.

Compliance
Monitoring
40
CFR
264.99(
c)(
2)
requires
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
conducting
a
compliance
monitoring
program
to
keep
a
record
of
all
ground­
water
analytical
data
obtained
during
monitoring.
Owners
and
operators
are
required
under
sections
264.99(
g)
and
(
h)
to
notify
EPA
of
the
presence
of
new
constituents
or
exceeded
concentration
limits
at
any
monitoring
well.
Section
264.99(
i)
allows
owners
and
operators
to
demonstrate
that
the
exceeded
concentration
limits
are
caused
by
a
source
other
than
the
regulated
facility,
or
by
an
error
in
sampling
and
analysis.
The
information
in
this
section
is
used
by
owners,
operators
and
EPA
to
evaluate
the
extent
of
ground­
water
contamination
at
the
facility
and
to
determine
whether
a
corrective
action
program
under
section
264.100
is
warranted.
The
compliance
monitoring
requirements
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
ensuring
that
ground­
water
contamination
that
exceeds
acceptable
levels
is
quickly
identified
and
addressed.

Corrective
Action
6
EPA
promulgated
regulations
in
40
CFR
264.100
establishing
requirements
for
owners
and
operators
of
hazardous
waste
LDFs
conducting
a
corrective
action
program.
Section
264.100(
g)
requires
owners
and
operators
conducting
a
corrective
action
program
to
submit
a
semi­
annual
report
on
the
effectiveness
of
the
program.
This
report
allows
EPA
to
monitor
the
progress
of
corrective
action
and
identify
any
changes
that
should
be
made
to
the
program.
Exemption
from
the
corrective
action
requirements
may
be
obtained
by
submitting
a
demonstration
under
section
264.100(
e)(
2).
Corrective
action
may
be
terminated
by
demonstrating
that
the
ground­
water
protection
standard
has
not
been
exceeded
for
a
period
of
three
consecutive
years
under
section
264.100(
f).
This
information
is
used
by
EPA
to
confirm
that
corrective
action
is
undertaken
where
necessary
to
address
ground­
water
contamination.
The
corrective
action
requirements
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
minimizing
damage
to
the
environment
caused
by
the
treatment,
storage
and
disposal
of
hazardous
waste
by
bringing
regulated
facilities
back
into
compliance
with
their
ground­
water
protection
standards.

INTERIM
STATUS
FACILITIES
Applicability
and
Alternative
Ground­
Water
Monitoring
Systems
EPA
promulgated
standards
in
40
CFR
265.90
establishing
the
applicability
of
ground­
water
monitoring
and
requirements
for
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
systems.
To
waive
the
ground­
water
monitoring
requirements,
owners
and
operators
must
submit
the
demonstrations
required
under
40
CFR
265.90(
c)
and/
or
265.90(
e).
The
demonstrations
under
this
section
are
meant
to
ensure
that
LDFs
are
not
unnecessarily
required
to
conduct
ground­
water
monitoring.
Non­
exempt
facilities
planning
to
implement
an
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
system
must
submit
a
monitoring
plan
(
§
265.90(
d)(
1)),
as
well
as
initial
and
periodic
reports
on
ground­
water
quality
as
required
under
sections
265.90(
d)(
3)
and
(
5),
and
must
maintain
a
record
of
all
ground­
water
quality
assessments
at
the
facility.
Facilities
planning
to
implement
an
alternate
hydraulically
downgradient
monitoring
well
location
must
meet
certain
criteria,
make
and
a
submit
a
demonstration
and
obtain
a
certification
from
a
qualified
ground­
water
scientist.
The
requirements
for
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
systems
ensure
that
the
alternative
systems
used
are
capable
of
early
contamination
detection,
and
the
reports
submitted
to
EPA
are
used
to
assess
the
impact
of
the
facility
on
ground­
water
quality.
This
information
contributes
to
EPA's
goal
of
quickly
detecting
and
characterizing
contamination
from
LDFs
in
order
to
minimize
damage
to
human
health
and
the
environment.

Sampling,
Analysis
and
Assessment
EPA
promulgated
regulations
in
40
CFR
265.92
requiring
owners
and
operators
to
develop
and
implement
sampling
and
analysis
procedures
for
identifying
ground­
water
contamination.
The
sampling
and
analysis
plan
must
be
kept
on
file
at
the
facility
and
may
be
reviewed
by
EPA
to
determine
whether
the
procedures
effectively
detect
ground­
water
contamination
(
§
265.92(
a)).
Section
265.93(
d)(
1)
requires
owners
and
operators
to
notify
EPA
in
writing
of
significant
increases
(
or
pH
decreases)
in
indicator
parameter
concentrations
at
downgradient
wells.
Owners
and
operators
of
facilities
where
contamination
is
detected
must
develop
and
implement
a
ground­
water
quality
assessment
program,
and
submit
an
initial
assessment
report
(
§
265.93(
d)).
These
requirements
provide
EPA
with
the
information
necessary
to
evaluate
the
impact
of
the
facility
on
ground­
water
quality.
The
sampling,
analysis
and

Recordkeeping
and
Reporting
EPA
promulgated
regulations
in
40
CFR
265.94(
a)
establishing
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
for
interim
status
facilities
not
conducting
a
ground­
water
quality
assessment
program.
The
regulations
direct
owners
and
operators
of
these
facilities
to
keep
records
of
initial
background
data,
annual
and
semi­
annual
ground­
water
quality
and
indicator
parameter
analyses,
and
ground­
water
surface
elevation
data.
A
record
of
subsequent
indicator
parameter
comparisons
with
background
levels
is
also
required.
Reports
included
under
this
section
include
a
quarterly
report
on
drinking
water
suitability
parameters
during
the
first
year,
and
annual
reports
on
indicator
parameters
and
variances
from
background
concentrations,
and
an
annual
report
on
ground­
water
surface
elevations.

40
CFR
265.94(
b)
establishes
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
for
facilities
conducting
ground­
water
quality
assessment
programs.
Owners
and
operators
of
these
facilities
are
required
to
keep
records
of
analyses
and
evaluations
conducted
under
the
program,
and
to
submit
annual
assessment
reports
to
the
Regional
Administrator.

The
records
required
under
this
section
provide
owners
and
operators
with
the
information
necessary
to
evaluate
changes
in
ground­
water
quality
at
their
facilities
over
time.
The
reporting
requirements
supply
EPA
with
the
information
necessary
to
determine
the
impact
of
the
facility
on
groundwater
quality.
These
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
preventing
undetected
releases
of
hazardous
waste
from
treatment,
storage
and
disposal
facilities.

USE
AND
USERS
OF
THE
DATA
PERMITTED
FACILITIES
Detection
Monitoring
Records
of
ground­
water
analytical
data
are
used
primarily
by
owners
and
operators
in
determining
whether
their
facilities
are
contaminating
ground­
water.
Notifications
of
detected
contamination
are
used
by
EPA
to
identify
facilities
that
warrant
closer
attention,
and
as
a
basis
for
evaluating
plans
for
compliance
monitoring
programs
at
these
facilities.
EPA
uses
data
justifying
ACLs
to
determine
whether
the
new
limits
requested
by
owners
and
operators
at
a
contaminated
facility
are
appropriate,
and
uses
engineering
feasibility
plans
for
corrective
action
to
determine
whether
the
proposed
corrective
action
program
will
be
effective
at
the
contaminated
facility.
Demonstrations
submitted
under
this
section
are
used
by
owners
and
operators
to
obtain
exemptions
from
the
burden
of
conducting
further
monitoring
or
corrective
action
activities
for
contamination
which
is
unrelated
to
activities
at
the
facility.

Compliance
Monitoring
Records
of
ground­
water
analytical
data
required
under
the
compliance
monitoring
program
are
used
primarily
by
owners
and
operators
in
determining
the
extent
of
ground­
water
contamination,
and
in
identifying
exceeded
concentration
limits
or
new
constituents.
Notifications
of
new
constituents
are
used
by
EPA
in
updating
the
facility
monitoring
requirements
so
that
all
constituents
are
carefully
monitored.
EPA
uses
notifications
of
exceeded
concentration
limits
to
learn
as
much
as
possible
about
the
ground­
water
impact
of
each
contaminated
facility,
and
as
a
basis
for
evaluating
plans
for
corrective
action.
Demonstrations
submitted
under
this
section
are
used
by
owners
and
operators
to
obtain
exemptions
from
8
the
burden
of
conducting
corrective
action
for
contamination
which
is
unrelated
to
activities
at
the
facility.

Corrective
Action
Owners
and
operators
of
some
contaminated
facilities
use
the
exemption
demonstration
submitted
under
this
section
to
establish
lack
of
need
to
implement
a
corrective
action
program.
The
demonstration
required
to
terminate
corrective
action
is
used
by
EPA
to
evaluate
the
need
for
continued
efforts
where
corrective
action
has
already
been
instituted,
and
by
owners
and
operators
to
justify
such
termination.
Reports
on
the
effectiveness
of
corrective
action
are
used
by
both
EPA
and
owners
and
operators
to
evaluate
the
success
of
corrective
action
and
identify
any
improvements
which
can
be
made
to
the
program.

INTERIM
STATUS
FACILITIES
Applicability
and
Alternative
Ground­
Water
Monitoring
Systems
The
exemption
demonstrations
provided
under
this
section
are
used
by
owners
and
operators
of
interim
status
facilities
to
minimize
their
monitoring
burden,
provided
that
their
facilities
pose
little
or
no
threat
to
ground­
water
quality.
Plans
for
an
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
system
are
used
by
owners
and
operators
of
some
facilities
as
a
guideline
for
conducting
ground­
water
quality
analyses.
The
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
plan
is
reviewed
by
EPA
to
determine
whether
it
is
appropriate
for
the
specific
facility,
and
the
terms
of
the
plan
are
enforceable
against
the
owner
or
operator.
Ground­
water
quality
assessment
reports
and
records
of
analyses
conducted
at
facilities
using
alternative
systems
are
used
by
owners,
operators
and
EPA
to
determine
the
impact
of
these
facilities
on
ground­
water
quality,
and
to
identify
any
changes
which
should
be
made
to
the
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
program.
Alternate
downgradient
well
locations
give
some
facilities
flexibility
in
placing
ground­
water
monitoring
wells.
The
demonstrations
allow
EPA
to
assure
that
these
alternate
well
locations
will
not
adversely
threaten
groundwater
quality.

Sampling,
Analysis
and
Assessment
The
ground­
water
sampling
and
analysis
plan
required
under
this
section
is
used
primarily
by
owners
and
operators
as
a
guideline
for
determining
whether
their
facilities
are
leaking.
Although
the
sampling
and
analysis
plan
is
not
formally
submitted
to
EPA,
it
may
be
reviewed
by
EPA
at
any
time
to
determine
whether
it
is
appropriate
for
identifying
and
evaluating
ground­
water
contamination
at
the
facility.
The
terms
of
the
plan
are
enforceable
against
the
owner
or
operator.
Notifications
of
increased
indicator
parameter
concentrations
are
used
by
EPA
to
identify
facilities
requiring
ground­
water
quality
assessment
plans.
The
plan
is
used
primarily
as
a
guideline
for
owners
and
operators
in
determining
the
extent
of
ground­
water
contamination.
Reports
on
ground­
water
quality
are
used
both
by
owners
and
operators
and
by
EPA
to
evaluate
the
degree
of
ground­
water
contamination
and
the
extent
of
contaminant
migration.

Recordkeeping
and
Reporting
The
recordkeeping
requirements
under
section
265.90(
a)
require
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
not
conducting
ground­
water
quality
assessment
programs
to
keep
records
of
initial
background
data;
subsequent
analyses
of
ground­
water
quality
and
indicator
parameters;
ground­
water
surface
elevations;
indicator
parameter
comparisons
with
background
levels;
and
ground­
water
quality
assessment
data.
These
9
records
are
used
primarily
by
owners
and
operators,
but
may
also
be
reviewed
by
EPA
upon
request.
Background
data
are
used
as
a
baseline
for
evaluations
of
ground­
water
quality.
Subsequent
analyses
and
comparisons
with
background
levels
are
used
by
owners
and
operators
to
identify
leaking
contaminants.
Records
of
ground­
water
surface
elevations
assist
owners
and
operators
in
determining
whether
monitoring
samples
are
being
drawn
from
appropriately
located
wells.
Records
required
in
this
section
also
provide
an
ongoing
history
of
ground­
water
quality
at
the
facility,
which
is
important
because
changes
in
ground­
water
quality
may
occur
slowly
over
time.

Reports
on
drinking
water
suitability
parameters
submitted
during
the
first
year
are
used
by
EPA
to
identify
facilities
which
may
already
be
contaminating
ground
water
and
to
establish
priorities
for
issuing
permits.
Reports
on
indicator
parameters
are
used
by
EPA
to
evaluate
the
impact
of
the
facility
on
ground­
water
quality
and
to
identify
facilities
where
further
investigation
or
action
is
warranted.
Reports
on
ground­
water
surface
elevations
are
used
by
EPA
to
confirm
that
monitoring
wells
are
appropriately
placed.

The
recordkeeping
requirements
of
section
265.90(
b)
require
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
conducting
ground­
water
quality
assessments
to
record
and
report
on
information
collected
during
the
assessments.
The
records
and
reports
are
used
by
owners
and
operators
and
EPA,
respectively,
to
evaluate
the
impact
of
facilities
on
ground­
water
quality.

NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
NONDUPLICATION
RCRA
is
currently
the
sole
Federal
statutory
vehicle
for
protecting
ground­
water
quality
from
the
effects
of
the
hazardous
waste
TSDFs
for
which
this
monitoring
is
being
required.
Pursuant
to
the
Clean
Water
Act,
standards
have
been
established
for
maintaining
surface
water
quality;
however,
that
Act
has
limited
jurisdiction
over
ground­
water,
and
the
implementation
of
the
Act
has
only
sought
to
protect
against
ground­
water
contamination
by
activities
such
as
sewage
treatment
and
related
sludge
disposal.
The
requirements
of
RCRA
thus
provide
the
only
means
for
gathering
information
to
use
in
determining
the
ground­
water
quality
impacts
of
the
regulated
facilities.
Most
of
the
information
required
by
RCRA
is
not
available
from
any
source
but
the
respondents.

PUBLIC
NOTICE
3(
c)
CONSULTATIONS
To
ascertain
the
hour
and
cost
burden
to
regulated
entities
and
their
contractors
in
performing
specified
monitoring
activities,
EPA
consulted
with
two
members
of
the
regulated
industry
and
one
contractor
with
extensive
experience
in
hydrogeology.
The
industry
respondents
gave
burden
estimates
based
on
their
own
site
experience
(
e.
g.,
based
on
their
site's
number
of
wells).
To
standardize
feedback
across
the
respondents,
EPA
scaled
their
burden
estimates
to
reflect
the
burden
for
a
representative
facility
with
five
ground­
water
monitoring
wells.
The
respondents
included:

EFFECTS
OF
LESS
FREQUENT
COLLECTION
Collecting
these
data
less
frequently
would
hinder
the
Agency
in
promptly
identifying
facilities
that
may
be
discharging
hazardous
wastes
or
constituents
to
ground­
water.
Thus,
Agency
action
to
require
remediation
for
the
protection
of
potential
ground­
water
users
would
be
hampered
or
delayed.
If
contamination
problems
are
allowed
to
proliferate
and
persist
unremediated,
the
potential
cost
of
future
remediation
may
grow
substantially.
Additionally,
for
facilities
which
are
known
to
be
discharging
hazardous
wastes
to
ground­
water,
a
reduction
in
the
information
collection
requirements
would
seriously
impair
the
Agency's
ability
to
assess
the
rate
of
movement
and
extent
of
contamination
from
discharging
facilities.

GENERAL
GUIDELINES
Requirements
and
justification
for
reporting
information
to
the
Agency
more
often
than
quarterly
are
discussed
under
Section
4(
d).
Collection
activities
that
must
be
prepared
in
less
than
30
days
are
also
discussed
in
Section
4(
d).
Sections
265.94(
a)(
1)
and
265.94(
b)(
1)
require
the
maintenance
of
records
throughout
the
active
life
of
the
facility
and,
for
disposal
facilities,
throughout
the
post­
closure
care
period
as
well.
These
records
provide
a
baseline
for
determining
the
presence
and
concentration
of
hazardous
releases
to
ground­
water,
and
provide
a
means
to
assess
the
effects
of
the
facility
on
ground­
water
throughout
its
active
life.
Without
these
records,
the
impact
of
the
facility
on
the
ground­
water
beneath
and
adjacent
to
it
cannot
be
ascertained.

has
been
received,
and
how
EPA
will

discussion
of
how
the
information
collection
requirements
affect
small

AGENCY
ACTIVITIES
PERMITTED
FACILITIES
Detection
and
Compliance
Monitoring
Agency
activities
associated
with
the
detection
and
compliance
monitoring
requirements
include
reviewing
notifications
and
demonstrations
and
entering
information
into
a
data
base.
The
detection
monitoring
requirements
also
require
EPA
to
evaluate
ACL
data
and
engineering
feasibility
plans
for
corrective
action
submitted
under
section
264.98(
g)(
5)
to
determine
whether
the
proposed
ACLs
and
corrective
action
programs
are
appropriate,
and
to
enter
information
into
a
data
base.
Records
of
groundwater
analytical
data
required
under
sections
264.98(
c)
and
264.99(
c)(
2)
are
not
formally
submitted
to
EPA,
but
must
be
kept
on
file
at
the
facility
and
made
available
to
EPA
upon
request.
Accordingly,
this
analysis
assumes
that
there
are
no
Agency
activities
associated
with
these
recordkeeping
requirements.
21
Corrective
Action
Agency
activities
associated
with
the
corrective
action
requirements
include
reviewing
demonstrations,
evaluating
reports
on
the
effectiveness
of
corrective
action,
and
entering
the
information
into
a
data
base.

INTERIM
STATUS
FACILITIES
Applicability
and
Alternative
Ground­
Water
Monitoring
Systems
Agency
activities
associated
with
applicability
and
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
systems
include
reviewing
demonstrations,
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
plans,
ground­
water
quality
assessment
reports
and
alternate
well
location
demonstrations,
and
entering
information
into
a
data
base.
The
records
required
under
this
section
are
not
formally
submitted
to
EPA
but
must
be
filed
at
the
facility
and
made
available
upon
request
for
EPA
review.
Accordingly,
this
analysis
assumes
that
there
are
no
Agency
activities
associated
with
these
recordkeeping
requirements.

Sampling,
Analysis
and
Assessment
Agency
activities
associated
with
the
sampling,
analysis
and
assessment
requirements
include
reviewing
the
notification
of
increased
indicator
parameter
concentrations,
evaluating
the
ground­
water
quality
assessment
plan
and
initial
reports,
and
entering
information
into
a

base.
Although
EPA
may
review
the
sampling
and
analysis
plan
required
under
this
section,
the
plan
is
not
formally
submitted
to
EPA.
Therefore,
there
is
no
Agency
activity
associated
with
this
requirement.

Recordkeeping
and
Reporting
Agency
activities
associated
with
the
reporting
requirements
of
this
section
include
reviewing
the
information
submitted
and
entering
the
information
into
a

Therefore,
there
are
no

COLLECTION
METHODOLOGY
AND
MANAGEMENT
In
collecting
and
analyzing
the
information
required
under
the
ground­
water
monitoring
regulations,
EPA
uses
state­
of­
the­
art
electronic
equipment
such
as
personal
computers
and
applicable
data
base
software,
when
appropriate.

5(
c)
SMALL
ENTITY
FLEXIBILITY
The
burden
imposed
by
the
ground­
water
monitoring
requirements
is
a
function
of
the
threat
of
contamination
of
ground­
water,
from
which
many
people
derive
their
drinking
water,
and
is
not
sensitive
to
the
size
of
the
organization.
Therefore,
small
entities
must
comply
with
the
same
requirements
as
large
entities.

is
not
applicable.
Notification
of
statistically
significant
evidence
of
contamination
must
be
submitted
within
seven
days
of
the
initial
or
confirmed

the
data
necessary
to
justify
the
alternate
concentration

engineering
feasibility
plan
for
a
corrective
action
program,
must
be
submitted
within
180
days
of
the
initial
or

If
the
owner
or
operator
plans
to
make
a
demonstration
under
section
264.98(
g)(
6),
the
notification
of

ESTIMATING
THE
BURDEN
AND

OF
THE

a)
ESTIMATING
RESPONDENT
BURDEN
Exhibits
1
and
2
identify
the
reporting
and
recordkeeping
activities
and
associated
burden
to
respondents
under
the
ground­
water
monitoring
program.
EPA
took
several
steps
in
developing
the
burden
estimates
in
this
ICR.
For
most
of
the
estimates,
EPA
referred
to
the
approved
"
Part
B
Permit
Application,
Permit
Modifications,
and
Special
Permits,"
ICR
number
1573.
The
Part
B
ICR
examines
many
activities
that
are
similar
to
the
activities
in
this
ICR.
EPA
incorporated
the
Part
B
ICR's
burden
assumptions
into
this
ICR,
as
appropriate.
In
addition,
EPA
conducted
limited
consultations
with
industry
to
ascertain
the
burden
to
regulated
entities
and
their
contractors
for
certain
activities
that
are
not
examined
in
the
Part
B
ICR
(
e.
g.,
ground­
water
sampling).
Finally,
EPA
used
its
best
judgment
in
a
few
circumstances
to
develop
burden
estimates
for
regulated
entities
and
contractors
(
e.
g.,
for
notifications
and
other
low­
burden
activities).

ESTIMATING
RESPONDENT
COSTS
Labor
Costs
EPA
estimates
that
respondents
will
incur
an
average
hourly
cost
(
labor
plus
fringe

of
$
125.00
for
legal
staff,
$
110.00
for
managerial
staff,
$
70.00
for
technical
staff,
and
$
29.00
for
clerical

In
deriving
these
estimates,
EPA
consulted
the

costs
associated
with
the
ground­

requirements
are
the
costs
of
designing
and

For
permitted
facilities,
this
cost
is
estimated
to
be
$
132,477.1
Annualized
over
20
years
at
the
OMB­
approved
discount
rate
of
seven
percent,
the
cost
is
about
$
12,000
per

facilities,
this
cost
is
estimated
to
be
$
44,573.2
Annualized
over

the
cost
is
about
$
4,000

ESTIMATING
THE
RESPONDENT
UNIVERSE
AND
TOTAL
BURDEN
AND
COSTS
As
shown
in
Table
1,
EPA
estimates
that
there
are
currently
824
land
disposal
facilities
under
the
ground­
water
monitoring
requirements.
This
includes
382
facilities
with
permitted
units
only,
431
facilities
with
interim
status
units
only,
and
11
facilities
with
both
permitted
and
interim
status
units.
For
purposes
of
estimating
burden
in
this
ICR,
EPA
averaged
the
11
facilities
over
both
the
Part
264
and
265
requirements
on
a
50:
50
basis.
Therefore,
this
ICR
estimates
a
total
of
387.5
permitted
facilities
and
436.5
interim
status
facilities.

[
Note:
All
respondent
estimates

numbers.
For
simplicity,
however,
we
have
rounded
the
respondent
numbers
and
activities
in
the
text

For
the
purposes
of
this
ICR,
EPA
also
assumes
that
the
respondent
universe
will
be
constant
over
FYs
2002­
2004,
since
LDFs
that
close
remain
in
the
interim
as
post­
closure
facilities,
and
the
number
of
new
facilities
entering
the
universe
is
expected
to
be
so
small
that
it
will
have
no
significant
impact
on
the
burden
hour
and
cost
estimates
for
ground­
water
monitoring.

PERMITTED
FACILITIES
(
EXHIBIT
1)

According
to
available
information,
EPA
estimates
that
about
53
percent
of
permitted
facilities
are
conducting
detection
monitoring,
10
percent
compliance
monitoring
and
37
percent
are
undertaking
corrective
action.
EPA
applied
these
percentages
to
the
universe
of
permitted
facilities
to
provide
a
breakdown
of
the
types
of
activities
being
conducted
at
facilities.
Accordingly,
EPA
estimates
that
of
the
approximately
387
permitted
facilities
subject
to
the
ground­
water
monitoring
requirements,
about
205
are
conducting
detection
monitoring,
39
are
conducting
compliance
monitoring,
and
143
are
undertaking
corrective
action.

EPA
estimates
that
each
of
the
approximately
387
permitted
facilities
will
read
the
regulations.
Over
the
three
years
covered
by
this
ICR,
an
average
of
about
129
facilities
will
read
the
regulations
each
year.

Each
of
the
approximately
387
permitted
facilities
is
required
to
conduct
ground­
water
sampling
and
analysis.
These
activities
require
the
implementation
of
a
ground­
water
monitoring
system,
which
involves
conducting
a
hydrogeologic
investigation
and
designing
and
installing
a
ground­
water
monitoring
system.
EPA
assumes
that
permitted
facilities
will
already
have
operational
ground­
water
monitoring
systems
in
place;
and
since
the
number
of
permitted
facilities
is
assumed
to
be
constant,
no
facilities
are
expected
to
perform
the
activities
associated
with
implementing
a
ground­
water
monitoring
system.

Detection
Monitoring
EPA
estimates
that
205
permitted
facilities
will
conduct
detection
monitoring
annually
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR.
EPA
estimates
that
all
205
facilities
conducting
detection
monitoring
will
determine
the
ground­
water
flow
rate
and
direction
annually,
sample
and
analyze
the
ground­
water
semiannually
and
record
all
ground­
water
analytical
data.

EPA
estimates
that
approximately
10
percent
of
the
facilities
conducting
detection
monitoring
(
21
facilities)
will
be
required
to
submit
a
notification
of
contamination
under
section
264.98(
g)(
1),
and
will
conduct
additional
sampling
and
analysis.
EPA
estimates
that
50
percent
of
these
facilities
(
10
facilities)
will
identify
Appendix
IX
constituents
in
the
ground­
water.
EPA
estimates
that
40
percent
of
the
facilities
identifying
Appendix
IX
constituents
(
4
facilities)
will
submit
all
data
necessary
to
establish
an
ACL,
and
that
approximately
20
percent
of
those
who
submit
such
data
(
1
facility)
will
receive
EPA
approval
to
establish
an
ACL.
Facilities
not
submitting
an
ACL
and
facilities
that
do
not
obtain
approval
for
an
ACL
must
submit
an
engineering
feasibility
plan
for
corrective
action
under
section
264.98(
g)(
5)(
ii).

Although
EPA
estimates
that
10
percent
of
the
facilities
detecting
Appendix
IX
constituents
(
1
facility)
will
submit
a
demonstration
to
show
contamination
from
an
outside
source,
EPA
estimates
that
none
will
receive
an
exemption
from
compliance
monitoring
regulations.

Compliance
Monitoring
EPA
estimates
that
39
facilities
will
conduct
compliance
monitoring
annually
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR.
EPA
assumes
that
the
sampling
and
analysis
and
recordkeeping
activities
necessary
to
maintain
ground­
water
analytical
data
at
the
facility
are
conducted
semi­
annually.
These
facilities
must
also
determine
the
ground­
water
flow
rate
and
direction
annually.

EPA
notes
that
the
previous
ICR
(#
959.10)
estimated
1,024
interim
status
facilities,
whereas
this
ICR
estimates
approximately
436
facilities,
a
decrease
of
588.
We
believe
this
decrease
resulted
primarily
from
an
improved
methodology
for
estimating
the
universe
size
(
i.
e.,
we
minimized
potential
double­
counting
of
facilities
in
this
ICR).
The
decrease
also
reflects
the
Agency's
efforts
to
bring
interim
status
facilities
into
the
permitted
universe.
EPA
estimates
that
approximately
25
percent
of
the
facilities
conducting
compliance
monitoring
(
10
facilities)
will
confirm
the
presence
of
new
constituents
and
submit
a
notification
under
section
264.99(
g).

EPA
estimates
that
approximately
50
percent
of
the
facilities
conducting
compliance
monitoring
(
20
facilities)
will
identify
exceeded
concentration
limits,
and
will
therefore
compile
and
submit
a
notification
under
section
264.99(
h)(
1).
Of
the
facilities
identifying
exceeded
concentration
limits,
EPA
estimates
that
10
percent
(
2
facilities)
will
apply
for
an
exemption
from
the
corrective
action
requirements,
but
that
no
facility
will
submit
sufficient
information
to
justify
an
exemption.

Corrective
Action
EPA
estimates
that
143
facilities
will
conduct
corrective
action
annually
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR.
This
ICR
assumes
that
each
of
these
facilities
will

water
and
submit

on
the
effectiveness
of
corrective
action
semi­
annually.

Owners
and
operators
of
facilities
already
conducting
corrective
action
who
wish
to
submit
a
demonstration
under
section
264.100(
e)(
2)
will
have
done
so
upon
implementing
corrective
action.
Of
the
facilities
beginning
corrective
action
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR,
EPA
does
not
expect
any
to
submit
a
demonstration.
In
addition,
because
very
few
corrective
action
measures
have
been
implemented
to
date,
and
since
ground­
water
corrective
action
measures
often
take
5­
10
years
to
complete,
EPA
estimates
that
the
number
of
facilities
requesting
a
termination
of
corrective
action
activities
will
be
zero.

INTERIM
STATUS
FACILITIES
(
EXHIBIT
2)

EPA
estimates
that
each
of
the
approximately
436
interim
status
facilities
will
read
the
regulations.
4
Over
the
three
years
covered
by
this
ICR,
an
average
of
about
146
facilities
will
read
the
regulations
each
year.

Applicability
and
Alternative
Ground­
Water
Monitoring
Systems
As
no
new
LDFs
will
enter
the
interim
status
universe
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR,
EPA
estimates
that
no
facilities
will
submit
a
demonstration
under
sections
265.90(
c)
or
(
e),
or
under
section
265.91(
a)(
3).
This
ICR
assumes
that
demonstrations
under
this
section
are
submitted
in
written
form
to
the
Regional
Administrator.

This
ICR
also
assumes
that
facilities
wishing
to
submit
an
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
plan
do
so
upon
obtaining
interim
status.
As
no
new
LDFs
will
enter
interim
status
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR,
no
new
interim
status
facilities
will
submit
plans
for
an
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
system
each
year.
EPA
estimates
that,
prior
to
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR,
approximately
29
22
interim
status
facilities
(
5
percent)
submitted
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
plans
and
10
percent
of
those
who
applied
(
2
facilities)
received
approval
to
operate
an
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
system.
These
facilities
are
subject
to
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
of
sections
265.90(
d)(
3)
and
(
5).
EPA
assumes
that
ground­
water
sampling
and
analysis
and
recordkeeping
activities
will
be
conducted
quarterly
(
2*
4
=
8
sampling
events
per
year),
and
that
ground­
water
quality
assessment
reports
will
be
developed
and
submitted
annually.

Sampling,
Analysis
and
Assessment
Each
of
the
approximately
436
interim
facilities
is
required
to
conduct
ground­
water
sampling
and
analysis
of
some
sort.
These
activities
require
the
implementation
of
a
ground­
water
monitoring
system.
EPA
assumes
that
all
interim
status
facilities
will
already
have
operational
ground­
water
monitoring
systems
in
place;
and
since
the
no
new
LDFs
are
expected
to
enter
the
universe
during
the
period
covered
by
this
ICR,
the
number
of
facilities
expected
to
perform
the
activities
associated
with
implementing
a
ground­
water
monitoring
system
is
zero.

This
ICR
assumes
that
only
new
interim
status
facilities
will
submit
sampling
and
analysis
plans
under
section
265.92(
a)
and
outlines
of
ground­
water
quality
assessment
plans
under
section
265.93(
a).
As
no
new
LDFs
will
enter
the
interim
status
universe,
no
new
interim
status
facilities
will
submit
sampling
and
analysis
plans
or
outlines
of
ground­
water
quality
assessment
plans.

However,
this
ICR
assumes
that
all
interim
status
facilities
not
conducting
an
alternative
groundwater
monitoring
program
and
that
have
not
already
detected
contamination
((
436
­
2)
x
0.50
=
217
facilities)
are
required
to
conduct
ground­
water
sampling
and
analysis
under
section
265.93(
b).

In
deriving
these
facility
estimates,
EPA
estimates
that
50
percent
of
all
interim
status
facilities
not
conducting
an
alternative
ground­
water
program
((
436
­
2)
x
.5
=
217
facilities)
have
already
detected
contamination.
These
facilities
must
conduct
sampling
and
analysis
on
a
quarterly
basis
in
accordance
with
section
265.93(
d)(
4).
In
addition,
EPA
estimates
that
2
percent
of
these
facilities
(
4
facilities)
will
confirm
the
presence
of
ground­
water
contamination
each
year.
These
facilities
must
submit
a
notification
of
contamination
to
the
Regional
Administrator,
submit
a
ground­
water
quality
assessment
plan
based
on
the
outline
developed
under
section
265.93(
b),
conduct
an
initial
ground­
water
quality
assessment,
and
submit
a
ground­
water
quality
assessment
report
as
required
under
section
265.93(
d)(
5).

The
remaining
217
facilities
must
conduct
sampling
and
analysis
semi­
annually,
in
accordance
with
sections
265.92(
d)
and
(
e).

This
ICR
assumes
that
there
is
no
additional
burden
associated
with
the
requirements
of
section
265.93(
e).
Any
facilities
subject
to
the
requirements
of
this
section
are
considered
in
the
burden
estimates
under
section
265.93(
d)(
5).

Recordkeeping
and
Reporting
The
requirements
of
section
265.94(
a)
apply
only
to
the
217
facilities
that
are
not
conducting
an
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
program
and
have
not
already
detected
contamination.
EPA
assumes
that
the
records
of
ground­
water
analytical
data
required
under
this
section
will
be
updated
semi­
annually.
Drinking

This
decrease
resulted
primarily
from
an
improved
methodology
for
estimating
the
universe
size
(
i.
e.,
we
minimized
potential
double­
counting
of
facilities
in
this
ICR).
The
decrease
also
reflects
the
Agency's
efforts
to
bring
interim
status
facilities
into
the
permitted
universe.
on
a
quarterly
basis
during
the
first
year.
Reports
on
indicator
parameters
and
ground­
water
surface
elevations
are
submitted
annually
by
all
respondents
subject
to
the
section
265.94(
a)
requirements.

Based
on
past
experience,
EPA
estimates
that
two
percent
of
the
217
facilities
conducting
a
ground­
water
monitoring
program
in
accordance
with
section
265.93(
b)
(
4
facilities)
will
detect
significant
indicator
parameter
increases
(
or
pH
decreases)
in
upgradient
wells,
and
will
therefore
be
required
to
develop
and
submit
a
report
in
accordance
with
section
265.93(
c)(
1).

The
requirements
of
section
265.94(
b)
apply
to
the
217
facilities
conducting
ground­
water
quality
assessments.
Facilities
conducting
assessments
as
part
of
an
alternative
ground­
water
monitoring
system
are
covered
in
the
burden
estimates
for
section
265.90
(
2
facilities).
EPA
assumes
that
the
recordkeeping
requirements
of
section
265.94
are
conducted
on
a
quarterly
basis,
and
that
reports
on
the
results
of
the
ground­
water
quality
assessment
program
are
submitted
annually.

REASONS
FOR
CHANGE
IN
BURDEN
This
current
ICR
(#
959.11)
renews
and
updates
the
previously
approved
ICR
on
the
groundwater
monitoring
requirements
(
i.
e.,
ICR
#
959.10).
ICR
#
959.10
estimated
a
total
annual
respondent
burden
of
64,181
hours.
ICR
#
959.11
estimates
a
total
annual
respondent
burden
of
96,913
hours,
an
increase
of
32,732
hours
over
the
previous
ICR.
This
increase
has
occurred
for
several
reasons.

In
preparing
ICR
#
959.11,
EPA
obtained
recent
estimates
of
the
number
of
land
disposal
facilities
subject
to
the
ground­
water
monitoring
requirements.
The
number
of
permitted
and
interim
status
facilities
obtained
is
significantly
lower
than
in
ICR
#
959.10
(
i.
e.,
387
vs.
623
permitted
facilities;
436
vs.
1,024
interim
status
facilities).
5
These
lower
universe
estimates
resulted
in
a
reduced
overall
respondent
burden
estimate
for
the
industry.

However,
this
reduced
burden
was
more
than
offset
by
EPA's
efforts
to
fully
reflect
contractor
labor
hours
in
this
current
ICR.
Specifically,
EPA
evaluated
whether
the
respondent
labor
hours
estimated
31
in
ICR
#
959.10
fully
reflected
the
total
hourly
labor
burden
to
both
regulated
facilities
and
their
contractors
under
the
requirements.
From
this
review,
EPA
concluded
that
ICR
#
959.10
fully
accounted
for
facility
labor
hours,
but
not
contractor
labor
hours.
The
ICR
accounted
for
contractor
labor
costs
only
(
expressed
as
O&
M
costs
in
the
exhibits).

In
preparing
ICR
#
959.11,
EPA
referred
to
the
approved
"
Part
B
Permit
Application,
Permit
Modifications,
and
Special
Permits,"
ICR
number
1573.
The
Part
B
ICR
examines
many
activities
that
are
similar
to
the
activities
in
this
ICR
(
e.
g.,
the
Part
B
ICR
examines
the
ground­
water
reporting
requirements
at
40
CFR
270.14(
c)).
The
Part
B
ICR
has
been
revised
to
fully
reflect
the
burden
to
regulated
entities
and
their
contractors.
Thus,
in
preparing
ICR
#
959.11,
EPA
used
a
number
of
the
burden
estimates
in
the
Part
B
ICR.
In
addition,
EPA
conducted
limited
consultations
with
industry
to
ascertain
the
burden
to
regulated
entities
and
their
contractors
for
certain
activities
that
are
not
examined
in
the
Part
B
ICR
(
e.
g.,
groundwater
sampling).
Finally,
EPA
used
its
best
judgment
in
a
few
circumstances
to
develop
burden
estimates
for
regulated
entities
and
contractors
(
e.
g.,
for
notifications
and
other
low­
burden
activities).

By
including
contractor
labor
hours
in
ICR
#
959.11,
EPA
increased
its
estimate
of
total
respondent
burden
by
a
net
of
32,732
hours
from
ICR
#
959.10.
