Title:
RCRA
Hazardous
Waste
Permit
Application
and
Modification,
Part
A,
EPA
ICR
#262.10,
OMB
No.
2050­
0034,
expires
on
October
31,
2002.
Abstract:
Section
3010
of
Subtitle
C
of
RCRA,
as
amended,
requires
any
person
who
generates
or
transports
regulated
waste
or
who
owns
or
operates
a
facility
for
the
treatment,
storage,
or
disposal
(TSDF)
of
regulated
waste
to
notify
EPA
of
their
activities,
including
the
location
and
general
description
of
activities
and
the
regulated
wastes
handled.
Section
3005
of
Subtitle
C
of
RCRA
requires
TSDFs
to
obtain
a
permit.
To
obtain
the
permit,
the
TSDF
must
submit
an
application
describing
the
facility's
operation.
There
are
two
parts
to
the
RCRA
permit
application­­
Part
A
and
Part
B.
Part
A
defines
the
processes
to
be
used
for
treatment,
storage,
and
disposal
of
hazardous
wastes:
the
design
capacity
of
such
processes:
and
the
specific
hazardous
wastes
to
be
handled
at
the
facility.
Part
B
requires
detailed
site
specific
information
such
as
geologic,
hydrologic,
and
engineering
data.
An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
control
number.
The
OMB
control
numbers
for
EPA's
regulations
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
Chapter
15.
The
Agency
today
begins
an
effort
to
examine
the
notification
and
Part
A
permit
application
forms
and
consider
options
for
reducing
their
burden
and
increasing
the
usefulness
of
the
information
these
forms
collect.
The
Agency
would
appreciate
any
information
on
the
users
of
this
information,
how
they
use
this
information,
how
the
information
could
be
improved,
and
how
the
burden
for
these
forms
can
be
reduced.
Therefore,
the
EPA
would
like
to
solicit
comments
to:
(i)
Evaluate
whether
the
proposed
collection
of
information
is
necessary
for
the
proper
performance
of
the
functions
of
the
agency,
including
whether
the
information
will
have
practical
utility;
(ii)
Evaluate
the
accuracy
of
the
agency's
estimate
of
the
burden
of
the
proposed
collection
of
information,
including
the
validity
of
the
methodology
and
assumptions
used;
(iii)
Enhance
the
quality,
utility,
and
clarity
of
the
information
to
be
collected;
and
(iv)
Minimize
the
burden
of
the
collection
of
information
on
those
who
are
to
respond,
including
through
the
use
of
appropriate
automated
electronic,
mechanical,
or
other
technological
collection
techniques
or
other
forms
of

information
technology,
e.
g.,
permitting
electronic
submission
of
responses.
Burden
Statement:
The
estimated
average
burden
for
renewing
the
existing
Part
A
ICR
is
approximately
25
hours
per
respondent
for
submitting
a
new
Part
A
permit
application
and
approximately
15
hours
for
submitting
a
revised
Part
A
permit
application.
The
burden
estimates
for
the
Part
A
ICR
includes
time
for
reading
the
regulations,
preparing
and
submitting
initial
and
revised
Part
A
permit
applications,
preparing
and
submitting
justifications
for
changes
and
preparing
and
submitting
subpart
H
compliance
demonstrations.
For
Part
A
permit
applications,
EPA
estimates
that
the
number
of
respondents
per
year
is
10
for
new
Part
A
permit
applications
and
49
for
Part
A
revisions.
For
these
ICRs,
collection
occurs
one­
time
per
respondent,
unless
regulations
are
revised
and
promulgated.
Timing
of
the
submission
of
the
notification
and
the
Part
A
permit
application
forms
are
variable
depending
on
the
status
of
the
respondent
and
the
timing
of
the
promulgation
of
the
regulations.
The
estimated
total
annual
burden
on
respondents
for
new
and
revised
Part
A
permit
applications
is
893
hours.
These
estimates
of
total
annual
burden
reflect
a
decrease
in
burden
of
5.
5%
for
Part
A
permit
applications
when
compared
with
the
previously
approved
ICR
(1999).
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.
