Title
and
Number
of
the
Information
Collection
This
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)
is
entitled
"
Standardized
Permit
for
RCRA
Hazardous
Waste
Management
Facilities,"
ICR
Number
1935.02.

1(
b)
Short
Characterization
Under
the
authority
of
sections
3004,
3005,
3008
and
3010
of
the
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
(
RCRA),
as
amended,
the
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
is
finalizing
revisions
to
the
RCRA
hazardous
waste
permitting
program
to
allow
a
"
standardized
permit."
The
standardized
permit
would
be
available
to
facilities
that
generate
hazardous
waste
and
routinely
manage
the
waste
on­
site
in
non­
thermal
units
such
as
tanks,
containers,
and
containment
buildings.
The
RCRA
standardized
permit
would
consist
of
two
components:
a
uniform
portion
that
is
included
in
all
cases,
and
a
supplemental
portion
that
the
Director
of
a
regulatory
agency
would
include
at
his
or
her
discretion.
The
uniform
portion
would
consist
of
terms
and
conditions,
relevant
to
the
unit(
s)
at
the
permitted
facility,
and
would
be
established
on
a
national
basis.
The
Director,
at
his
or
her
discretion,
may
also
issue
a
supplemental
portion
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis.
The
supplemental
portion
would
impose
site­
specific
permit
terms
and
conditions
that
the
Director
determines
necessary
to
institute
corrective
action
under
section
264.101
(
or
State
equivalent),
or
otherwise
necessary
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment.
Owners
and
operators
would
have
to
comply
with
the
terms
and
conditions
in
the
supplemental
portion,
in
addition
to
those
in
the
uniform
portion.

This
ICR
presents
a
comprehensive
description
of
the
information
collection
requirements
for
owners
and
operators
submitting
applications
for
a
standardized
permit
or
a
standardized
permit
modification
under
the
final
rule.
This
ICR
also
estimates
the
total
annual
burden
and
cost
to
respondents
and
government
agencies
under
the
final
rule.

In
the
following
paragraphs,
EPA
briefly
describes
the
information
collection
requirements
in
the
final
rule.

APPLYING
FOR
A
STANDARDIZED
PERMIT
Under
40
CFR
124.202,
an
owner
or
operator
wishing
to
apply
for
a
standardized
permit
must
submit
to
the
Director
a
written
notice
of
his
or
her
intent
to
operate
under
the
standardized
permit.
Along
with
this
notice
of
intent,
section
270.275
requires
that

application.
Owners
and
operators
whose
facilities
are
not
in
compliance
with
part
267
at
the

GENERAL
FACILITY
STANDARDS
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
B
(
sections
267.10
through
267.18)
specifies
general
facility
standards
that
apply
to
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
who
treat
or
store
hazardous
waste
under
a
standardized
permit.
To
comply
with
this
subpart,
owners
and
operators
must
obtain
an
EPA
identification
number
(
section
267.12)
and
follow
requirements
for
waste
analyses
(
section
267.13);
security
(
section
267.14);
inspections
(
section
267.15);
employee
training
(
section
267.16);
management
of
ignitable,
reactive,
or
incompatible
wastes
(
section
267.17);
and
facility
location
(
section
267.18).
EPA
enables
owners
and
operators
to
apply
for
a
waiver
from
the
security
requirements
if
they
believe
that
physical
contact
with
the
waste,
structures,
or
equipment
within
the
active
portion
of
the
facility
will
not
injure
people
or
livestock,
or
that
disturbing
the
waste
or
the
equipment
will
not
cause
a
violation
of
the
requirements
of
part
267
(
section
267.14(
a)).

PREPAREDNESS
AND
PREVENTION
Under
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
C,
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
that
treat
or
store
hazardous
waste
under
a
standardized
permit
must
design,
construct,
maintain,
and
operate
their
facilities
to
minimize
the
possibility
of
a
fire,
explosion,
or
any
unplanned
sudden
or
non­
sudden
release
of
hazardous
waste
or
hazardous
waste
constituents
to
air,
soil,
or
surface
water
that
could
threaten
human
health
or
the
environment.
Specifically,
section
267.36
states
that
the
owners
and
operators
of
these
facilities
must
attempt
to
make
arrangements
with
the
police,
fire
departments,
emergency
response
teams,
and
hospitals,
as
appropriate
for
the
type
of
waste
handled
at
the
facility
and
the
potential
need
for
services
of
these
organizations.
If
State
or
local
authorities
decline
to
enter
into
such
arrangements,
the
owner
or
operator
of
the
facility
must
document
the
refusal
in
the
operating
record.

CONTINGENCY
PLAN
AND
EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
D
(
sections
267.50
through
267.58)
requires
owners
and
operators
of
a
facility
under
a
standardized
permit
to
prepare
and
maintain
updated
contingency
plans
and
comply
with
emergency
reporting
and
record
keeping
requirements.
The
contingency
plan
describes
the
actions
facility
personnel
will
take
should
a
fire,
explosion,
or
any
unplanned
sudden
or
non­
sudden
release
of
hazardous
waste
constituents
to
air,
soil,
or
surface
water
occur.
Local
emergency
response
teams
use
the
information
required
in
the
contingency
plan
to
minimize
unanticipated
damage
from
the
treatment,
storage,
or
disposal
of
hazardous
waste.
The
contingency
plan
also
enables
EPA
to
assess
the
effectiveness
of
facility
responses
to
incidents
that
may
threaten
human
health
or
the
environment.

Other
emergency
reporting
and
record
keeping
requirements
under
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
D,
include
notifying
State
and
local
authorities
of
an
imminent
or
actual
emergency
situation
(
267.56(
a)(
2),
and
notifying
local
authorities
of
the
need
to
evacuate
local
areas
(
267.56(
c)(
1)).
If
a
release,
fire,
or
explosion
occurs,
the
owner
or
operator
must
notify
the
onscene
coordinator
or
the
National
Response
Center
(
267.56(
c)(
2)).
Owners
and
operators
also
must
notify
the
Regional
Administrator
that
a
facility
is
in
compliance
with
specific
regulations
before
operations
resume
in
any
area
affected
by
an
emergency
situation
(
267.58(
a)),
and
submit
a
report
to
the
Regional
Administrator
containing
details
of
any
emergency
situation
that
requires
implementation
of
the
contingency
plan
(
267.58(
b)).

RECORD
KEEPING,
REPORTING,
AND
NOTIFYING
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
E
(
sections
267.70
through
267.74)
directs
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
that
treat
or
store
hazardous
waste
under
a
standardized
permit
to
keep
written
operating
records
at
their
facilities.
Since
the
operating
record
is
not
submitted
to
EPA
but
must
be
available
for
inspection,
maintaining
an
operating
record
is
a
record
keeping
activity.
The
operating
record
contains
information
regarding
general
operating
practices
conducted
at
the
facility.
Other
record
keeping
requirements
under
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
E,
include
maintaining
records
of
the
location
of
each
hazardous
waste
within
the
facility
and
the
quantity
at
each
location
(
267.71(
b)(
2)).
In
addition,
40
CFR
267.36(
b)
requires
facilities
to
document
in
the
operating
record
any
refusal
of
State
or
local
authorities
to
enter
into
arrangements
for
emergency
situations.
Information
collected
pursuant
to
these
regulations
is
used
by
EPA
and
the
owner
or
operator
to
assure
safe
operation
of
the
facility.

Section
267.73
requires
owners
and
operators
to
prepare
and
submit
a
single
copy
of
a
biennial
report
to
the
Regional
Administrator
by
March
1
of
each
even
numbered
year.
In
addition
to
submitting
the
biennial
reports,
owners
and
operators
must
report
to
the
Regional
Administrator
releases,
fires,
and
explosions;
facility
closures;
and
as
otherwise
required
by
subparts
I,
J,
and
DD
of
40
CFR
part
267
and
subparts
BB
and
CC
of
40
CFR
part
264.
5
of
108
Section
267.74
requires
that,
before
transferring
ownership
or
operation
of
a
facility
during
its
operating
life,
an
owner
or
operator
must
notify
the
new
owner
or
operator
in
writing
of
the
requirements
of
parts
267
and
270.

CLOSURE
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
G
(
sections
267.110
through
267.117)
specifies
the
procedures
that
owners
and
operators
of
a
facility
that
treat
hazardous
waste
under
a
standardized
permit
must
follow
when
closing
storage
and
treatment
units
and/
or
when
closing
the
facility.
Storage
and
treatment
units
must
be
closed
in
a
manner
that
minimizes
need
for
further
maintenance
and
controls,
minimizes,
or
eliminates,
to
the
extent
necessary
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment,
post­
closure
escape
of
hazardous
waste,
hazardous
constituents,
leachate,
contaminated
runoff,
or
hazardous
waste
decomposition
products
to
the
ground
or
surface
waters
or
to
the
atmosphere
(
section
267.111).
To
close
a
facility,
the
owner
or
operator
must
have
an
approved
closure
plan
and
follow
notification
requirements
(
section
267.112).
In
addition,
owners
and
operators
are
required
to
submit
to
the
Director
a
certification
of
closure
within
60
days
of
the
completion
of
final
closure
of
each
unit
under
a
standardized
permit
(
section
267.117).

EPA
uses
closure
plans
to
ensure
that
hazardous
waste
management
facilities
close
in
accordance
with
the
Congressional
mandate
of
protecting
human
health
and
the
environment.
EPA
reviews
closure
certifications
to
determine
whether
closure
took
place
in
accordance
with
the
approved
closure
plan
and
EPA,
local
authorities,
and
potential
purchasers
of
a
closed
facility
review
closure
notices
to
ensure
that
future
uses
of
the
site
will
not
lead
to
a
release
of
hazardous
waste.

FINANCIAL
REQUIREMENTS
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
H
(
sections
267.140
through
267.150)
establishes
financial
responsibility
requirements
for
owners
and
operators
who
treat
or
store
hazardous
waste
under
a
standardized
permit.
Owners
and
operators
must
prepare
a
closure
cost
estimate
(
section
267.142),
demonstrate
financial
assurance
for
closure
(
section
267.143),
and
demonstrate
financial
assurance
for
liability
(
section
267.147).
Owners
and
operators
also
are
required
to
submit
a
notification
of
the
commencement
of
a
voluntary
or
involuntary
proceeding
under
Title
11
(
Bankruptcy),
U.
S.
Code,
naming
the
owner
or
operator
as
debtor
(
if
the
guarantor
is
named
as
the
debtor,
the
collection
of
this
data
is
the
guarantor's
responsibility)
(
section
267.148).
Finally,
owners
and
operators
are
required
to
notify
EPA
when
a
State
assumes
legal
responsibility
or
assures
availability
of
funds
for
an
owner's
or
operator's
compliance
with
the
closure,
post­
closure
care,
or
liability
requirements
of
this
part
(
section

through
267.177)
specifies
the
standards
for
the
use
and
management
of
containers
under
a
standardized
permit.
These
standards
apply
to,
for
example,
the
condition
of
the
containers,
to
the
compatibility
of

requires
owners
and
operators
that
store
or
treat
hazardous
waste
in
containers
to
inspect
areas
where
they
store
containers,
at
least

During
these
inspections,
owners
and
operators
should
look
for
leaking
containers
and
for
deterioration
of
containers
and
the
containment
system
caused
by
corrosion
or
other
factors.

TANK

for
above­
ground
and
on­
ground
tanks
used
for
the
treatment
or
storage
of
hazardous

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.
Information
collection
requirements
in
the
standardized
permit
rule
are
authorized
by
sections
2002
and
3007
of
RCRA,
as
amended.
In
particular,
section
2002
gives
the
Administrator
the
authority
to
promulgate
such
regulations
as
are
necessary
to
carry
out
the
functions
of
this
subchapter.
Section
3007
gives
EPA
the
authority
to
compel
anyone
who
generates,
stores,
treats,
transports,
disposes
of
or
otherwise
handles
or
has
handled
hazardous
wastes
to
"
furnish
information
related
to
such
wastes"
and
make
such
information
available
to
the
7
of
108
government
for
"
the
purposes
of
...
enforcing
the
provisions
of
this
chapter."
EPA
believes
the
information
collection
requirements
in
the
rule
are
necessary
to
balance
the
reduction
in
regulatory
burden
with
the
Agency's
responsibility
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment.

APPLYING
FOR
A
STANDARDIZED
PERMIT
Section
270.275
requires
that
applicants
for
a
standardized
permit
submit
to
the
permitting
agency
information
that
will
be
used
as
the

to
comprehensively
evaluate
the
potential
risk
posed
by
facilities
seeking
permits.
This
information
aids
EPA
in
meeting
its
goal
of
ascertaining
and
minimizing
risks
to
human
health
and
the
environment
from
hazardous
waste
management
facilities.

In
addition,
facilities
that
store
or
treat
hazardous
waste
under
a
standardized
permit
must
keep
at
their
facilities
general
types
of
information
(
section
270.290),
as
well
as
unit­
specific
information
for
containers
(

and
tanks
and
containers
subject
to
part
264,
subpart
CC
(
section
270.315).
EPA
anticipates
that
the
owner
or
operator
will
use
this
information
to
ensure
that
tanks,
containers,
and
other
equipment
are
in
good
condition
and
that
operating
requirements
are
being
satisfied,
and
to
prevent
placing
in
proximity
wastes
that
are
incompatible
with
other
wastes
that
are
likely
to
ignite
or
explode.
EPA
needs
this
information
to
evaluate
compliance
of
facilities
with
the
permitting
standards.
These
requirements
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
insuring
that
hazardous
waste
management
facilities
are
operated
in
a
manner
fully
protective
of
human
health
and
the

MAINTAINING
A
STANDARDIZED
PERMIT
Sections
124.211,
124.212,
124.213,
and
124.214
specify
procedures
for
making
routine
and
significant
changes
to
the
standardized
permit.
Section
124.212
requires
owners
and
operators
seeking
to
make
routine
changes
(
Class
1
permit
modification
not
requiring
prior
approval
under
40
CFR
270.42,
Appendix
I)
to
their
standardized
permits
to
submit
to
the
Director
the
revised
information;
and,
in
cases
where
the
routine
change
amends
information
submitted
under
section
270.275,
to
provide
notice
of
the
changes
to
the
facility
mailing
list
and
to
state
and
local
governments,
in
accordance
with
the
procedures
in
sections
124.10(
c)(
1)(
ix)
and
(
x).
Sections
124.213
requires
owners
and
operators
seeking
to
make
routine
changes
with
prior
approval
to
submit
their
requests
for
changes
to
the
Director
for
approval
and
follow
the
procedures
in
section
124.212(
b)(
1)
­
(
2).
Section
124.214
requires
owners
and
operators
seeking
to
make
significant
changes
to
their
standardized
permits
to
provide
notice
and
conduct
a
public
meeting.
After
holding
the
public
meeting,
the
owner
or
operator
of
the
facility
must
submit
a
modification
request
to
the
Director.

EPA
needs
this
information
to
comprehensively
evaluate
whether
requests
for
routine
or
significant
changes
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.

GENERAL
FACILITY
STANDARDS
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
B
(
sections
267.10
through
267.18)
specifies
general
facility
standards
that
apply
to
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
who
treat
or
store
hazardous
waste
under
a
standardized
permit.
To
comply
with
this
subpart,
owners
and
operators
must
follow
record
keeping
and
reporting
requirements
for
waste
analyses
(
section
267.13);
security
(
section
267.14);
inspections
(
section
267.15);
employee
training
(
section
267.16);
management
of
ignitable,
reactive,
or
incompatible
wastes
(
section
267.17);
and
facility
location
(
section
267.18).
9
of
108
(
1)
Waste
Analyses
EPA
and
owners
and
operators
use
information
obtained
in
waste
analysis
results
to
determine:
(
1)
whether
the
facility
can
adequately
handle
the
waste,
and
(
2)
whether
the
waste
is
really
what
the
generator
claims
it
to
be.
The
owner
or
operator
also
uses
information
obtained
from
the
waste
analysis
to
determine
whether
there
are
any
potential
dangers
from
handling
the
waste.

(
2)
Security
EPA
uses
information
on
security
to
ensure
that
the
owner
and
operator
of
the
facility
has
taken
the
necessary
measures
to
ensure
that
there
is
no
physical
contact
with
the
waste,
structures,
or
equipment
within
the
active
portion
of
the
facility
that
would
injure
people
or
livestock.

(
3)
Inspections
EPA
and
owners
and
operators
use
information
in
the
inspection
log
to
determine
whether
facility
equipment
is
safe
for
handling
hazardous
waste.
The
inspection
requirement
contributes
to
EPA's
goal
of
preventing
hazardous
waste
constituents
from
being
released
into
the
environment
due
to
faulty
or
deteriorated
equipment.

(
4)
Employee
Training
Both
EPA
and
owners
and
operators
use
information
in
employee
training
records
to
determine
whether
employees
have
acquired
the
necessary
expertise
to
perform
their
jobs.
EPA
also
reviews
personnel
records
to
determine
whether
employees
are
receiving
a
level
of
training
that
is
commensurate
with
their
duties
and
responsibilities
as
well
as
their
ability
to
respond
to
any
emergency
situations
at
the
facility.
Requiring
owners
and
operators
to
maintain
personnel
training
documents
decreases
the
likelihood
that
employees
are
unqualified
to
handle
hazardous
waste
or
respond
to
emergencies.
The
personnel
record
keeping
requirement
contributes
to
EPA's
goal
of
minimizing
the
potential
for
employee­
related
mistakes
that
may
threaten
human
health
and
the
environment.

(
5)
Demonstration
of
Compliance
for
Ignitable,
Reactive,
or
Incompatible
Wastes
EPA
uses
information
in
the
documentation
of
compliance
for
ignitable,
reactive,
or
incompatible
wastes
to
determine
whether
facilities
are
operating
in
a
manner
that
is
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.
The
documentation
requirement
contributes
to
EPA's
goal
of
minimizing
unanticipated
damage
from
the
treatment,
storage,
or
disposal
of
hazardous
waste.
10
of
108
(
6)
Facility
Location
EPA
and
owners
and
operators
use
site­
specific
information
to
determine
whether
a
location
is
suitable
for
conducting
hazardous
waste
management
activities
in
a
manner
that
does
not
pose
a
threat
to
human
health
or
the
environment..

EPA
needs
all
the
information
described
above
to
evaluate
the
compliance
of
facilities
with
the
permitting
standards.
These
requirements
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
insuring
that
hazardous
waste
management
facilities
are
operated
in
a
manner
fully
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

PREPAREDNESS
AND
PREVENTION
Sections
267.30
through
267.36
require
owners
and
operators
to
design,
construct,
maintain,
and
operate
their
facilities
in
a
manner
that
minimizes
threats
to
human
health
and
the
environment
caused
by
the
release
of
waste
from
a
fire,
explosion,
or
any
unplanned
event.
Section
267.36(
b)
specifically
requires
owners
and
operators
to
document
any
refusal
on
the
part
of
any
local
authorities
to
enter
into
an
arrangement
to
handle
emergencies.
EPA
and
the
owner
and
operator
of
a
facility
use
this
information
to
ensure
that
adequate
emergency
response
personnel
are
available,
if
needed,
and
to
document
that
all
necessary
arrangements
with
State
or
local
authorities
have
been
made.

CONTINGENCY
PLAN
AND
EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES
Section
3004(
a)(
5)
of
RCRA,
as
amended,
requires
EPA
to
develop
standards
for
contingency
plans
for
effective
action
to
minimize
unanticipated
damage
from
any
treatment,
storage,
or
disposal
of
any
such
hazardous
waste.
Sections
267.50
through
267.58
require
all
owners
and
operators
of
hazardous
waste
facilities
to
prepare
and
maintain
contingency
plans,
and
to
notify
State
and
local
authorities
and
prepare
and
emergency
reports
whenever
an
imminent
or
actual
emergency
situation
occurs.
EPA
reviews
the
contingency
plan
and
emergency
reports
to
determine
whether
a
facility
has
developed
adequate
procedures
to
respond
to
unplanned
sudden
or
non­
sudden
releases
of
hazardous
waste
or
hazardous
constituents
to
air,
soil,
or
surface
water.
Notifications
to
State
and
local
authorities
facilitate
remedial
actions
and
evacuations,
if
necessary.
Requiring
facilities
to
develop
and
maintain
contingency
plans
and
prepare
emergency
response
reports
and
notifications
contributes
to
EPA's
goal
of
minimizing
unanticipated
damage
from
the
treatment,
storage,
or
disposal
of
hazardous
waste.

RECORD
KEEPING,
REPORTING,
AND
NOTIFYING
Section
267.70
through
267.74
direct
owners
or
operators
of
facilities
that
treat
or
store
hazardous
waste
under
a
standardized
permit
to
keep
an
operating
record
at
the
facility.
The
operating
record
must
include,
among
other
things,
a
description
and
the
quantity
of
each
hazardous
waste
received,
and
the
method(
s)
and
date(
s)
of
its
treatment,
storage,
or
disposal
at
11
of
108
the
facility;
records
and
results
of
waste
analyses
performed;
summary
reports
and
details
of
all
incidents
that
require
implementing
the
contingency
plan;
and
records
and
results
of
inspection
reports.
EPA
uses
information
collected
pursuant
to
these
regulations
to
select
appropriate
corrective
action
and
cleanup
measures
should
an
unanticipated
release
of
hazardous
waste
occur.
EPA
compliance
officials
refer
to
the
operating
record
to
determine
the
following:
(
1)
what
cleanup
measures
are
appropriate
and
(
2)
whether
operating
requirements
can
be
better
tailored
to
the
needs
of
a
particular
site.
EPA
anticipates
that
the
owner
or
operator
will
use
information
included
in
the
operating
record
to
prevent
receiving,
or
placing
in
proximity,
wastes
that
are
incompatible
with
other
wastes
that
are
likely
to
ignite
or
explode.
Requiring
facilities
to
develop
and
maintain
an
operating
record
and
conduct
the
record
keeping
activities
contributes
to
EPA's
goal
of
minimizing
damage
to
the
environment
due
to
the
treatment,
storage,
or
disposal
of
hazardous
waste.

CLOSURE
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
G
(
sections
267.110
through
267.117)
requires
owners
and
operators
to
develop
closure
plans,
amend
these
plans
when
appropriate,
and
submit
to
EPA
closure
certifications.
EPA
reviews
information
in
the
closure
plans
to
determine
whether
closure
activities
will
comply
with
the
regulatory
requirements.
EPA
uses
information
in
the
closure
certifications
to
determine
that
closure
took
place
in
accordance
with
the
approved
closure
plan.

FINANCIAL
REQUIREMENTS
Section
3004(
a)(
6)
of
the
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
of
1976
(
RCRA),
as
amended,
requires
EPA
to
promulgate
regulations
that
include
requirements
respecting
"
the
maintenance
of
operations
of
such
facilities
and
requiring
such
additional
qualifications
as
to
...
financial
responsibility
(
including
financial
responsibility
for
corrective
action)
as
may
be
necessary
or
desirable."

The
need
for
financial
assurance
of
closure
care
is
indicated
by
the
numerous
instances
of
environmental
damage
resulting
from
abandonment
of
hazardous
waste
management
facilities
and
other
failures
by
owners
and
operators
to
provide
adequately
for
closure
care.
The
likelihood
of
such
failure
is
increased
by
the
fact
that
the
costs
for
closure
care
are
expected
to
commence
when
the
economic
value
of
the
facility
is
either
at
a
minimum
or
nonexistent.

EPA
believes
that
significant
numbers
of
owners
and
operators
would
lack
the
ability
to
provide
for
closure
care
without
effective
requirements
for
financial
assurance.
Consequently,
the
Agency
developed
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
H
financial
responsibility
requirements
for
closure
care.

The
liability
requirements
are
designed
to
assure
that
funds
will
be
available
during
the
operating
life
of
a
facility
from
which
third
parties
can
seek
compensation
for
bodily
injury
and
property
damage
arising
from
the
operation
of
the
facility.
The
liability
requirements
are
12
of
108
necessary
for
several
reasons.
First,
the
requirements
provide
protection
to
human
health
and
the
environment
by
assuring
that
funds
are
available
to
owners
and
operators
to
compensate
for
damage
caused
by
accidents
at
hazardous
waste
facilities,
including
payments
for
bodily
injury
and
property
damage.
In
addition,
the
Agency
believes
that
without
liability
coverage
requirements,
there
would
be
less
public
confidence
in
and
greater
opposition
to
proposed
and
existing
hazardous
waste
facilities.
The
liability
requirements
also
result
in
other
potential
benefits
for
human
health
and
the
environment:
the
incentive,
in
the
form
of
lower
insurance
premiums,
to
improve
design
and
operation
of
the
facility,
and
the
oversight
that
insurers
provide
over
facility
operations.

USE
AND
MANAGEMENT
OF
CONTAINERS
Sections
267.172
and
267.15(
d)
require
owners
and
operators
that
store
or
treat
hazardous
waste
in
containers
to
inspect
areas
where
they
store
containers,
at
least
weekly,
and
record
the
inspection
results.
EPA
needs
this
information
to
evaluate
the
compliance
of
facilities
with
the
permitting
standards
and
ensure
that
containers
used
for
the
storage
and
treatment
of
hazardous
waste,
under
the
standardized
permit,
do
not
pose
a
threat
to
human
health
and
the
environment.
These
requirements
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
safe
management
of
hazardous
waste.

TANK
SYSTEMS
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
J
specifies
record
keeping
and
reporting
requirements
associated
with
demonstrations
for
secondary
containment
waivers
(
section
267.190),
design
and
construction
standards
(
section
267.191),

(
section
267.194),
inspection
requirements
(
section
267.199),
and
leaks
and

(
section
267.200).
EPA
needs
this
information
to
evaluate
the
compliance
of
facilities
with
the
permitting
standards
and
ensure
that
tank
systems
used
for
the
storage
and
treatment
of
hazardous
waste,
under
the
standardized
permit,
do
not
pose
a
threat
to
human
health
and
the

These
requirements
contribute
to
EPA's
goal
of
safe
management
of
hazardous

CONTAINMENT
BUILDINGS
40
CFR
part
267,
subpart
DD
specifies
record
keeping
and
reporting
requirements
associated
with
inspections
(
section
267.1103);
demonstrations
for
secondary
containment
requirement
waivers
(
section
267.1104);
containment
buildings
containing
areas
both
with
and
without
secondary
containment
(
section
267.1105);
and
detection
of

(
section
267.1106).
EPA
needs
this
information
to
evaluate
the
compliance
of
facilities
with
the
permitting
standards
and
ensure
that
containment
buildings
used
for
the
storage
and
treatment
of
hazardous
waste,
under
the
standardized

do
not
pose
a
threat
to

Data
APPLYING
FOR
A
STANDARDIZED
PERMIT
EPA
uses
information
submitted
by
facilities
to
evaluate
exposure
potential
and
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.

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
present
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,
constructed,
and
operated
in
a
manner
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.
EPA
uses
the
information
required
by
part
264,
subparts
BB
and
CC
to
ensure
compliance
with
air
emission
standards.

MAINTAINING
A
STANDARDIZED
PERMIT
EPA
uses
permit
information
to
evaluate
the
initial
permit
application
and
any
subsequent
request
for
modification.
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
uses
the
information
requirements
in
40
CFR
parts
267
and
270
for
owners
and
operators
submitting
standardized
permit
applications
to
evaluate
compliance
with
various
elements
of
the
regulations.
The
waste
analysis
and
waste
analysis
plan,
as
well
as
the
inspection
schedule
and
documentation
of
compliance
for
ignitable
or
incompatible
wastes,
are
primarily
internal
record
keeping
requirements
used
by
owners
and
operators
of
facilities
to
assure
that
they
can
adequately
handle
the
waste,
to
assure
that
the
incoming
waste
is
really
what
the
generator
claims
it
to
be,
and
to
prevent
undetected
releases
or
reactions
of
hazardous
waste
on­
site.
Much
of
the
information
in
the
waste
analysis
plan
will
also
be
used
to
provide
a
quality
assurance
check
on
both
the
generator
and
the
owners'
and
operators'
facilities.
Both
EPA
and
owners
and
operators
use
information
in
the
employee
training
records
to
ensure
that
employees
acquire
the
necessary
expertise
to
perform
their
jobs.
During
inspections,
EPA
reviews
job
descriptions
and
training
documents
to
determine
whether
each
person
is
receiving
a
level
of
training
that
is
commensurate
with
the
person's
duties
and
responsibilities
as
well
as
the
ability
to
respond
to
any
emergency
situations
at
the
facility.
14
of
108
PREPAREDNESS
AND
PREVENTION
The
facility
owner
or
operator
uses
the
documented
refusal
on
the
part
of
the
State
or
local
authorities
to
enter
in
emergency
response
arrangements
to
demonstrate
that
he
or
she
has
undertaken
all
the
necessary
activities
to
minimize
threats
to
human
health
and
the
environment
caused
by
the
release
of
waste
from
a
fire,
explosion,
or
any
unplanned
event.

CONTINGENCY
PLAN
AND
EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES
Local
emergency
response
teams,
facility
owners
or
operators,
and
EPA
use
information
included
in
the
contingency
plan
to
assure
an
appropriate
response
to
any
unplanned
release
of
hazardous
waste
or
hazardous
waste
constituents.
EPA
reviews
information
in
the
contingency
plan
and
emergency
report
to
determine
whether
additional
site­
specific
emergency
provisions
are
necessary.

RECORD
KEEPING,
REPORTING,
AND
NOTIFYING
The
facility
owner
or
operator
uses
information
included
in
the
operating
record
and
waste
disposal
location
and
quantity
records
to
prevent
the
facility
from
placing
in
proximity
wastes
that
are
incompatible
or
that
are
likely
to
ignite
or
explode.
If
an
unanticipated
release
of
hazardous
waste
occurs,
the
owner
or
operator
may
review
information
in
the
operating
record
to
determine
the
composition
of
the
waste.
Reviewing
information
in
the
operating
record
facilitates
the
owner's
or
operator's
selection
of
an
appropriate
corrective
action
and
cleanup
measure.
By
providing
facility­
specific
data,
the
operating
record
also
enables
EPA
compliance
officials
to
determine
whether
operating
requirements
can
be
better
tailored
to
the
needs
of
a
particular
site.

CLOSURE
EPA
uses
information
contained
in
closure
plans
to
determine
whether
an
owner
or
operator's
planned
closure
activities
will
comply
with
environmental
regulations.
EPA
officials
use
information
contained
in
closure
certifications
to
ensure
that
the
owner
or
operator
closed
his/
her
facility
according
to
the
specifications
outlined
in
the
approved
closure
plan.
EPA
uses
information
contained
in
demonstrations
to
ensure
that
any
activities
taking
place
during
the
closure
period
are
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

FINANCIAL
REQUIREMENTS
EPA
uses
the
financial
insurance
information
requirements
to
evaluate
the
facility
owner's
financial
ability
to
close
the
facility
and
to
respond
to
any
contingencies.
The
closure
and
liability
coverage
financial
instruments
submitted
by
the
owner
or
operator
are
reviewed
by
EPA
to
determine
compliance
with
the
applicable
subpart
H
regulations.
This
review
involves
determinations
of
the
validity
of
the
instrument,
acceptability
of
the
financial
assurance
provider,
adequacy
of
the
instrument
amount,
and
fulfillment
of
the
other
regulatory
requirements.
The
15
of
108
information
is
also
used
to
direct
funds
for
closure
and
liability
coverage
in
the
event
of
default
or
bankruptcy
of
a
facility
owner
or
operator.

USE
AND
MANAGEMENT
OF
CONTAINERS
EPA
uses
information
on
containers
obtained
during
facility
inspections
to
evaluate
the
adequacy
of
each
container
to
manage
hazardous
wastes,
and
ensure
that
containers
are
being
used
in
a
manner
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

TANK
SYSTEMS
EPA
uses
information
on
tank
systems
obtained
during
facility
inspections
to
evaluate
the
adequacy
of
each
tank
to
manage
hazardous
wastes,
and
ensure
that
tank
systems
are
being
used
in
a
manner
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

CONTAINMENT
BUILDINGS
EPA
uses
information
on
containment
buildings
obtained
during
facility
inspections
to
evaluate
the
adequacy
of
each
containment
building
to
manage
hazardous
wastes,
and
ensure
that
containment
buildings
are
being
used
in
a
manner
protective
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

3.
NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
Nonduplication
In
finalizing
the
standardized
permit
rule,
EPA
intends
to
streamline
the
permit
process
by
allowing
certain
types
of
facilities
to
obtain
and
modify
permits
more
easily
while
maintaining
the
protectiveness
currently
existing
in
the
individual
RCRA
permit
process.
Thus,
the
rule
relieves
facility
owners
and
operators
of
certain
RCRA
record
keeping
and
reporting
requirements
that
currently
exist
under
the
RCRA
permitting
process.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
In
compliance
with
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995,
EPA
issued
a
public
notice
of
the
proposed
rule
in
the
Federal
Register.
EPA
received
comments
on
the
proposal
and
considered
those
comments
when
developing
the
final
rule.

3(
c)
Consultations
16
of
108
EPA
convened
a
special
task
force
in
1994
to
look
at
permitting
activities
throughout
its
different
programs
and
to
make
specific
recommendations
to
improve
these
permitting
programs.
This
task
force,
known
as
the
Permits
Improvement
Team
(
PIT),
spent
two
years
working
with
stakeholders
from
the
Agency,
State
permitting
agencies,
industry,
and
the
environmental
community.
The
PIT
stakeholders
suggested,
among
other
things,
that
permitting
activities
should
be
commensurate
with
the
complexity
of
the
activity.
The
stakeholders
felt
that
current
Agency
permitting
programs
were
not
flexible
enough
to
allow
streamlined
procedures
for
routine
permitting
activities.
The
PIT
recommended,
among
other
things,
that
regulations
be
developed
to
allow
"
standardized
permits"
for
on­
site
storage
and
non­
thermal
treatment
of
hazardous
waste
in
tanks,
containers,
and
containment
buildings.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
The
standardized
permit
application
procedures
are
less
cumbersome
than
the
procedures
for
an
individual
permit.
Owners
and
operators
do
not
have
to
submit
the
amount
of
information
needed
to
support
an
individual
permit
application,
although
they
need
to
keep
the
information
at
their
facility.
In
addition,
the
procedures
for
modifying
standardized
permits
would
allow
owners
and
operators
to
make
certain
types
of
routine
changes
without
prior
approval,
provided
that
they
inform
both
the
regulatory
agency
and
the
public
of
the
changes.
EPA
believes
the
collection
frequencies
specified
in
the
final
rule
are
necessary
to
ensure
protection
of
human
health
and
the
environment.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
This
ICR
adheres
to
the
guidelines
stated
in
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995,
OMB's
implementing
regulations,
EPA's
Information
Collection
Review
Handbook,
and
other
applicable
OMB
guidance.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
Section
3007(
b)
of
RCRA
and
40
CFR
part
2,
subpart
B,
which
define
EPA's
general
policy
on
public
disclosure
of
information,
contain
provisions
for
confidentiality.
EPA
does
not
anticipate
requesting
any
confidential
information.

database.

USE
AND
MANAGEMENT
OF
CONTAINERS
Although
the
information
is
not
formally
submitted
to
the
permitting
agency,
the
permitting
agency
may
review
inspection
records
during
site
inspections.

TANK
SYSTEMS
Agency
activities
pertaining
to
tank
systems
requirements
include
reviewing
notifications
and
detailed
reports
on
any
releases
to
the
environment.
In
addition,
the
permitting
agency
may
review

CONTAINMENT
BUILDINGS
Agency
activities
pertaining
to
tank
systems
requirements
include
reviewing
notifications
on
any
releases
to
the
environment
and
documentation
submitted
to
support
requests
for
secondary
containment
requirements
waivers.
In
addition,
the
permitting
agency
may
review
inspection
records
during
site
inspections.

5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
The
permitting
agency
will
receive
and
keep
records
of
the
notifications
and
supporting
documentation
submitted
by
facility
owners
and
operators
applying
for,
renewing,
or
modifying
a
standardized
permit.
The
permitting
agency
will
also
collect
and
keep
records
of
closure
plans
and
closure
certifications
submitted
by
facilities
operating
under
a
standardized
permit.
In
collecting
and
reviewing
this
information,
the
permitting
agency
would
use
state­
of­
the­
art
electronic
equipment
such
as
personal
computers
and
applicable
data
software,
when
appropriate.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
The
final
rule
would
provide
regulatory
relief
from
parts
of
RCRA
hazardous
waste
permitting
program
for
facilities
with
tanks,
containers,
and
containment
buildings
that
apply
and
obtain
a
standardized
permit.
Thus,
small
facilities,
among
others,
would
see
relief.
In
addition,
the
final
regulations
would
allow
these
facilities
to
maintain
most
information
in
facility
records
rather
than
in
submittals
to
EPA,
thus
reducing
time
and
costs
for
providing
information.
Since
small
facilities
conduct
operations
that
are
equally
as
hazardous
to
the
environment
as
those
conducted
by
larger
facilities,
EPA
determined
that
small
businesses
should
be
required
to
comply
1
To
the
greatest
extent
possible,
EPA
obtained
its
burden
estimates
for
activities
in
this
ICR
from
approved
Office
of
Solid
Waste

with
the

As
a
result
of
this
interpretation,
no
specific
requirements
are
outlined
for
smaller
facilities.

5(
d)
Collection
Schedule
Under
section
124.204,
the
permitting
agency
is
required
to
collect,
review,
and
keep
records
of
notices
of
intent
and
supporting
information
submitted
by
facility
owners
and
operators
applying
for
standardized
permits.
This
information
is
used
to
determine
whether
a
facility
is
or
is
not
eligible
to
operate
under
a
standardized
permit.
Once
the
permitting
agency
makes
the
preliminary
decision
to
either
grant
or
deny
coverage
under
the
standardized
permit,
section
124.207
requires
the
permitting
agency
to
provide
public
notice
of
the
draft
permit
decision,
including
any
proposed
site­
specific
conditions
in
a
supplemental
portion,
and
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
submit
comments
and
request
a
hearing
on
that
decision.
The
public
notice
issued
by
the
permitting
agency
must
allow
at
least
45
days
for
people
to
submit
written
comments
on
the
draft
permit
decision
(
section
124.208(
a)).
Information
collected
during
the
public
comment
period
is
considered
when
making
a
final
determination
on
whether
to
grant
or
deny
coverage
to
a
facility
to
operate
under
the
standardized
permit.
If
coverage
is
granted,
the
permitting
agency
considers
the
public
comments
when
specifying
terms
and
conditions
in
the
supplemental
portion
of
the
standardized
permit,
if
any.

Under
section
267.112,
facility
owners
and
operators
must
submit
a
written
closure
plan
with
the
Notice
of
Intent.
Once
the
permitting
agency
receives
this
information,
it
must
review
and
approve
the
closure
plan.
In
addition,
the
permitting
agency
must
provide
the
public
an
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
plan.
The
comment
period
will
be
open
for
30
days.
The
permitting
agency
will
also,
in
response
to
a
request
or
at
its
own
discretion,
hold
a
public
hearing
whenever
such
a
hearing
might
clarify
one
or
more
issues
concerning
the
closure
plan.
After
review
of
the
public
comments,
the
permitting
agency
will
approve,
modify,
or
disapprove
the
plan.
If
the
permitting
agency
does
not
approve
the
closure
plan,
it
must
provide
the
facility
owner
or
operator
with
a
detailed
written
statement
of
reasons
for
the
refusal.
The
permitting
agency
then
will
approve
or
modify
the
new
closure
plan.
Once
closure
is
completed,
the
permitting
agency
must
collect
and
review
a
certification
submitted
by
the
facility
owner
or
operator
stating
that
each
hazardous
waste
management
unit
or
facility,
as
applicable,
has
been
closed
following
the
specifications
in
the
closure
plan.

respondent
labor
cost
(
including
overhead)
of
$
108.00
for
legal
staff,
$
77.00
for
managerial
staff,
$
57.00
for
technical
staff,
and
$
29.00
for
clerical
staff.
To
arrive
at
these
estimates,
EPA
consulted
the
Handbook
of
U.
S.
Labor
Statistics,
Second
Edition2,
updated
to
current
levels.
The
handbook
summarizes
the
unloaded
(
base)
hourly
rate
for
various
labor
categories
in
U.
S.
firms.
EPA
then
applied
an
overhead
factor
of
2.3
for
nonlegal
staff
and
3.0
for
legal
staff
to
derive
their
loaded
hourly
rates.
Using
the
total
burden
hours
mentioned
in
the
above
section,
Exhibits
1
through
9
estimate
the
respondent
costs
associated
with
all
of
the
information
collection
activities
covered
in
this
ICR.

Capital
Costs
EPA
estimates
that
only
new
facilities
will
incur
capital
costs
associated
with
purchasing
file
storage
systems
for
maintaining
records.
EPA
realizes
that
facilities
will
likely
use
different
and
various
file
storage
systems
(
e.
g.,
file
cabinets,
CD­
ROM,
off­
site
storage,
etc)
and
store
their
files
on
different
media
(
paper,
microfiche,
electronic
files,
etc).
For
purposes
of
estimating
these
capital
costs
across
all
facilities,
EPA
has
made
the
conservative
assumption
that
every
new
facility
will
store
their
files
in
paper
form
in
file
cabinets.

EPA
estimates
that
each
new
facility
will
need
to
purchase
one
5­
drawer
lateral
file
cabinet
to
maintain
their
application
materials
over
the
ten­
year
life
of
their
permit.
3
The
current
market
price
for
such
a
file
cabinet
is
$
549.
EPA
has
annualized
this
cost
at
a
discount
rate
of
7
percent
over
ten
years
(
based
on
the
average
life
of
the
permit).
Thus,
EPA
estimates
the
annualized
net
present
value
of
this
capital
cost
to
be
$
78
per
facility.
In
Exhibit
19,
EPA
has
included
the
annualized
capital
cost
for
the
two
new
facilities
expected
to
apply
for
and
obtain
a
standardized
permit
each
year
($
156
per
year).

Operation
and
Maintenance
Costs
EPA
estimates
that
respondents
may
incur
annual
operations
and
maintenance
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
requirements.
EPA
estimates
that
sending
a
4US
Office
of
Personnel
Management
at
http://
www.
opm.
gov/
oca/
03tables/
html/
gs.
asp
70
of

notification
to
EPA
under
sections
124.202,
270.275,
270.280,
and
270.285
would
cost
about
$
3.00
for
the
mailing
expense
(
e.
g.,
for
certified
mail
with
return
receipt).

In
this
ICR,
EPA
also
estimates
costs
to
respondents
for
obtaining
contractor­
related
services,
such
as
preparing
compliance
demonstrations
for
containers
and
tank
systems.

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Costs
EPA
estimates
annual
Agency
burden
and
costs
associated
with
all
of
the
requirements
covered
in
this
ICR
in
Exhibits
10
through
18.
Based
on
a
2003
GS
pay
schedule4,
EPA
estimates
an
average
hourly
Regional
labor
cost
of
$
65.48
for
legal
staff,
$
61.23
for
managerial
staff,
$
44.90
for
technical
staff,
and
$
18.03
for
clerical
staff.
The
labor
costs
were
based
on
the
following
GS
levels
and
steps:
legal
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
15,
Step
1,
managerial
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
14,
Step
4,
technical
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
12,
Step
5,
and
clerical
labor
rates
were
based
on
GS
Level
5,
Step
1.

To
derive
hourly
estimates,
EPA
divided
annual
compensation
estimates
by
2,080,
which
is
the
number
of
hours
in
the
Federal
work­
year.
EPA
then
multiplied
hourly
rates
by
the
standard
government
overhead
factor
of
1.6.

presented
in
this

b
Note
that
certain
facilities
own
or
operate
more
than
one
type
of
unit
(
e.
g.,
containers
and
tanks).
Therefore,
the
number
of
facilities
with
containers,
tanks,
and
containment
buildings
in
the
table
are
not
additive.

As
shown
in
the
table,
the
total
number
of
captive
TSDFs
with
storage
and/
or
non­
thermal
treatment
units
is
866
(
584

Of
these
866
TSDFs,
641
(
444
permitted
and
197
interim

facilities
have
storage
and/
or
non­

units
only
and
224
(
140
permitted
and
84
interim
status)
facilities
have
storage,
non­

treatment,
and
other
type
of
units.

Of
the
641
captive
TSDFs
that
have
storage
and/
or
non­
thermal
treatment
units
only,
611
facilities
have
at
least
one
container,
431
facilities
have
at
least
one
tank,
and
9
facilities
have
at
least
one
containment
building.
Of
the
224
captive
TSDFs
that
have
storage,
non­
thermal
treatment,
and
other
type
of
units,
188
facilities
have

191

EPA
is
uncertain
whether
new
facilities
will
own
storage
and
treatment
only
or
storage,
non­
thermal
treatment,
and
other
type
of
units.
However,
this
issue
has
no
bearing
on
this
ICR.
c
Note
that
certain
facilities
own
or
operate
more
than
one
type
of
unit
(
e.
g.,
containers
and
tanks).
Therefore,
the
number
of
facilities
with
containers,
tanks,
and
containment
buildings
in
the
table
are
not
additive.

The

EPA
estimated

associated
with
all
of
the
requirements
covered
in
this
ICR
in
Exhibits

through

A
discussion
of
the
burden
estimates
presented
in
these
exhibits
follows.

APPLYING
FOR
A
STANDARDIZED
PERMIT
(
1)
General
Information
Requirements
EPA
estimates
that
a
total
of
175
(
permitted,
interim
status,
and
new)
captive
TSDFs
per
year
will
apply
for
a
standardized
permit
(
see
Table
2).
All
of
these
facilities
are
expected
to
read
the
regulations
and
submit
a
written
notice
of
intent
to
operate
under
a
standardized
permit,
a
public
meeting
summary,
and
a
certification
of
compliance
with
part
267.

For
permitted
facilities,
EPA
estimates
that
93
facilities
per
year
(
i.
e.,
14
permit
renewals
and
79
permitted
facilities
switching
to
a
standardized
permit
prior
to
permit
renewal)
will
apply
for
the
standardized
permit
within
the
three­
year
period
of
this
ICR.
EPA
assumes
that
all
of
these
facilities
already
have
collected
most
of
the
required
information
as
part
of
their
previous
permitting
process
(
e.
g.,
Part
A
information,
documentation
of
compliance
with
location
standards,
waste
management
unit
information).
Permitted
facilities
will
only
need
to
collect
those
data
items
not
already
required
at
part
264
or
270,
e.
g.,
notice
of
intent
to
operate
under
a
standardized
permit.

EPA
assumes
that
interim
status
and
new
facilities
(
i.
e.,
a
total
of
82
facilities
per
year)
will
have
to
prepare
and
maintain
all
general
information,
with
two
exceptions.
One
exception
pertains
to
submitting
the
Part
A
application.
EPA
assumes
that
only
new
facilities
will
incur
burden
for
this
activity,
since
interim
status
facilities
should
already
have
submitted
this
information
to
EPA.

The
other
exception
pertains
to
compliance
schedules.
EPA
assumes
that,
of
the
93
permitted
facilities
and
the
80
interim
status
facilities,
5
percent
of
the
facilities
(
i.
e.,
a
total
of
9
facilities)
will
not
be
in
compliance
with
general
information
requirements
of
part
264
or
265.12
These
facilities
would
have
to
prepare
and
submit
a
schedule
of
compliance
with
part
267
as
part
of
their
standardized
permit
application.

(
2)
Record
Keeping
Requirements
With
few
exceptions,
EPA
assumes
that
only
interim­
status
and
new
facilities
(
i.
e.,
a
total
of
82
facilities
per
year)
will
have
to
incur
burden
for
record
keeping
information.
The
exceptions
pertain
to
the
record
keeping
of
particular
data
items.
Specifically,
EPA
assumes
that
only
new
facilities
will
incur
burden
for
preparing
a
general
description
of
the
facility
and
obtaining
a

experience
under
the
RCRA
program.

100
of
108
topographic
map
(
i.
e.,

facilities).
EPA
also
assumes
that,
of
the
93
permitted
facilities
and
the
80
interim
status
facilities,
5
percent
will
have
to
prepare
a
justification
for
modifications
of
the
preparedness
and
prevention
requirements
(
i.
e.,
a
total
of
9
facilities).
13
(
3)
Container
Information
Requirements
EPA
assumes
permitted
facilities
will
not
incur
burden
in
compiling
information
on
their
containers.
EPA
also
assumes
that
interim
status
and
new
facilities
will
need
to
collect
information
on
containers,
under
section
270.300.
EPA
estimates
that
the
affected
universe
will
include
approximately
81
facilities
with
containers
(
i.
e.,
79
interim
status
facilities
and
2
new
facilities).

(
4)
Tank
Information
Requirements
EPA
assumes
permitted
facilities
will
not
incur
burden
in
compiling
information
on
their
tanks.
EPA
also
assumes
that
interim
status
and
new
facilities
will
need
to
collect
information
on
tanks,
under
section
270.305.
EPA
estimates
that
the
affected
universe
will
include
approximately
68
facilities
with
tanks
(
i.
e.,
67
interim
status
facilities
and
1
new
facility).
In
addition,
EPA
estimates
that
10
percent
of
the
permitted
and
interim
status
facilities
and
one
new
facility
owning
tank
systems
(
i.
e.,
0.10
x
[
59
permitted
facilities
+
67
interim
status
facilities]
+
1
new
facility
=
14
facilities
in
total)
will
need
to
prepare
a
detailed
description
of
how
new
tank
systems
will
be
installed
in
compliance
with
section
267.194.14
(
5)
Equipment
Information
Requirements
EPA
assumes
permitted
and
interim
status
facilities
will
not
incur
burden
in
compiling
information
on
their
equipment.
All
permitted
and
interim
status
facilities
are
already
required
to
have
this
information
under
40
CFR
part
270.
However,
EPA
assumes
that
the
one
new
facility
owning
tank
systems
will
be
subject
to
the
equipment
standards.

(
6)
Air
Emissions
Control
Requirements
EPA
assumes
permitted
and
interim
status
facilities
will
not
incur
burden
in
compiling
information
on
their
air
emission
controls.
All
permitted
and
interim
status
facilities
are
already
required
to
have
this
information
under
40
CFR
part
270.
However,
EPA
assumes
that
the
two
new
facilities
will
be
subject
to
the
air
emission
control
standards.
15
EPA
is
unsure
of
the
percent
of
facilities
that
will
seek
a
standardized
permit
modification.
EPA
referred
to
the
Supporting
Statement
for
EPA
Information
Collection
Request
Number
1573.05,
"
Part
B
Permit
Application,
Permit
Modifications,
and
Special
Permits"
to
identify
the
percent
of
facilities
seeking
Class
I,
II,
and
III
permit
modifications.
EPA
used
these
percentages
as
a
surrogate
for
estimating
the
percent
of
facilities
expected
to
make
routine
and
significant
changes
to
a
standardized
permit.

Switching
from
an
Individual
RCRA
Permit
to
a
Standardized
Permit
For
permitted
facilities
switching
to
a
standardized
permit
prior
to
permit
renewal
(
i.
e.,
79
facilities),
EPA
has
added
the
burden
of
reading
the
regulations
and
preparing
and
submitting
a
request
to
the
permitting
agency.

(
8)
Reapplying
for
a
Standardized
Permit
For
the
purposes
of
this
ICR,
EPA
assumes
that
no
facilities
will
be
reapplying
for
a
standardized
permit
during
the
three­
year
period
of
this
ICR.

MAINTAINING
A
STANDARDIZED
PERMIT
EPA
estimates
that
approximately
10
percent
of
the
captive
TSDFs
(
i.
e.,
0.10
x
175
facilities
=
18
facilities)
operating
under
a
standardized
permit
will
have
to
make
routine
changes
to
their
permits
each
year.
Approximately
4
percent
of
the
captive
TSDFs
(
i.
e.,
0.04
x
175
facilities
=
7
facilities)
operating
under
a
standardized
permit
are
expected
to
make
significant
changes
to
their
permits
each
year.

to
apply

Thus,
EPA
has
chosen
not
to
burden
captive
TSDFs
applying
for
and
obtaining
a
standardized
permit
with
these
requirements
in
this
ICR,
i.
e.,
the
number
of
respondents
or
activities
is
equal
to
zero.
(
Note
that
the

are
covered
in
the
above

of

The
final
rule
would
relieve
facilities
applying
for
and
operating
under
a
standardized
permit
of
several
existing
RCRA
paperwork
requirements.
Specifically,
the
final
rule
would
relieve
facilities
from
reporting
and
record
keeping
requirements
already
covered
in
the
following
ICRs:

and
40
CFR
Part

Subpart

In
developing
this
ICR,
EPA
decided
against
calculating
the
burden
relief
that
would
be
afforded
to
respondents
under
the
final
rule.
EPA
normally
calculates
the
burden
relief
under
a
rulemaking
by
identifying
all
existing
ICRs
affected
by
the
rule
and
quantifying
the
burden
savings
associated
with
each
ICR's
paperwork
requirements.
For
the
standardized
permit
final
rule,
however,
EPA
notes
that
some
of
the
affected
ICRs
are
currently
being
updated
and
renewed.
Thus,
their
burden
and
cost
estimates
are
not
final
or
available
for
analysis
in
this
ICR.

Reasons
for
Change
In
Burden
In
proposing
the
standardized
permit
for
facilities
that
generate
waste
and
routinely
manage
the
waste
on­
site
in
tanks,
containers,
and
containment
buildings,
EPA
is
attempting
to
streamline
the
administrative
permitting
process
and
dramatically
shorten
the
time
required
to
obtain
a
RCRA
permit,
without
lessening
the
environmental
protection
provided
by
the
permit.
The
new
permit
system
should
also
reduce
the
amount
of
time
and
administrative
resources
required
to
maintain
a
RCRA
permit
throughout
the
operating
life
of
the
facility
by
providing
streamlined
permit
modification
and
renewal
processes
for
the
standardized
permit.
These
new
paperwork
requirements
reflect
a
program
change
and
are
triggered
only
if
a
facility
owner
or
operator
seeks
the
standardized
permit.

6(
g)
Burden
Statement
The
annual
reporting
burden
for
the
new
information
collection
requirements
in
this
ICR
is
estimated
to
range
from
53
to
57
hours
per
respondent.
This
burden
includes
time
for
facility
owners
and
operators
to
submit
to
the
permitting
agency
a
notice
of
intent
and
supporting
materials
for
a
standardized
permit
application,
if
required,
and
permit
modification
requests
for
significant
changes.

The
annual
record
keeping
burden
for
the
new
information
collection
requirements
in
this
ICR
is
estimated
to
range
from
31
to
178
hours
per
respondent.
This
includes
time
for
reading
the
regulations
and
keeping
records
under
section
270.290
and,
if
required,
under
sections
270.300
to
270.315
for
containers,
tanks,
equipment,
and
air
emission
controls.

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;
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.
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.

To
comment
on
the
Agency's
need
for
this
information,
the
accuracy
of
the
provided
burden
estimates,
and
any
suggested
methods
for
minimizing
respondent
burden,
including
the
use
of
automated
collection
techniques,
EPA
has
established
a
