SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
Affected
entities:
Entities
potentially
affected
by
this
action
are
those
which
generate,
treat,
and
store
hazardous
waste.
Title:
National
Waste
Minimization
Partnership
Program;
EPA
ICR
No.
2076.01.
Abstract:
EPA
is
establishing
a
national
program
to
encourage
the
minimization
of
hazardous
waste
through
source
reduction
and
recycling.
Participation
in
the
National
Waste
Minimization
Partnership
Program
is
completely
voluntary.
EPA
will
use
four
forms
to
collect
information
from
participants,
called
partners,
which
can
be
prepared
and
submitted
by
hard
copy
or
electronically.
Participation
begins
when
an
Enrollment
Form
is
submitted
and
accepted
by
EPA.
The
form
asks
for
basic
site
identification
information
as
well
as
information
on
the
company's
waste
minimization
goals
under
the
program.
Once
in
the
program,
partners
will
also
have
an
opportunity
to
complete
and
submit
an
optional,
one­
time
Application
for
Certificate
of
Past
Accomplishments.
This
form
enables
partners
to
notify
the
Agency
of
waste
minimization
accomplished
in
the
past.
Partners
also
can
submit
a
one­
time
Application
for
Certificate
of
Accomplishment
when
they
accomplish
the
goals
the
established
for
their
participation
in
the
program.
These
certificates
will
enable
the
Agency
to
confirm
a
partners'
progress
and
measure
the
overall
success
of
the
program.
Certificates
provide
the
basis
for
the
Agency
to
recognize
partner
accomplishments
in
a
formal
(e.
g.,
at
an
awards
ceremony
or
by
congratulatory
letter)
manner,
if
appropriate.
Recognizing
partner
achievements
is
important
to
help
EPA
spur
other
partners
on
to
reduce
more
waste.
Partners
also
may
submit
an
optional,
one­
time
Case
Studies
Submission
Form.
The
form
enables
a
partner
to
describe
its
waste
minimization
techniques,
implementation
problems,
lessons
learned,
benefits,
and
relevant
implications.
The
case
studies
will
assist
the
Agency
in
better
understanding
waste
minimization
approaches
and
technologies.
The
information
may
also
help
the
Agency
in
sharing
lessons
learned
and
effective
strategies
among
the
facilities
generating
hazardous
waste,
in
order
to
promote
continued
and
effective
waste
minimization
efforts.
Sharing
effective
waste
reduction
strategies
with
others
is
a
fundamental
objective
of
the
partnership
program.
Because
the
program
is
voluntary,
EPA
expects
that
companies
would
enroll
only
if
their
benefits
under
the
program
outweigh
the
costs.
Although
EPA
expects
partners
to
experience
a
minor
burden
under
the
paperwork
requirements
of
the
program,
the
Agency
fully
expects
many
companies
to
realize
substantial
cost
savings
(typically
more
than
enough
to
offset
their
paperwork
costs)
through
implementation
of
their
waste
reduction
initiatives.
(EPA
evidence
suggests
that
cost
savings
of
hundreds
of
thousands,
if
not
millions,
of
dollars
is
not
unusual
for
a
large
corporation.)
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
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:
EPA
estimates
the
annual
respondent
burden
for
the
National
Waste
Minimization
Partnership
Program
to
be
3,280
hours
and
$203,306.
EPA
expects
that,
in
the
first
year,
60
companies
will
enroll,
and
90
will
enroll
in
each
subsequent
year.
Thus,
at
the
end
of
the
first
year,
there
will
be
60
existing
partners,
150
at
the
end
of
the
second
year,
and
240
at
the
end
of
the
third
year.
For
purposes
of
the
ICR's
burden
calculations,
EPA
has
averaged
the
number
of
new
and
existing
partners
over
the
three­
year
period
to
conclude
that
there
will
be,
on
average,
80
new
partners
annually
and
150
existing
partners
annually.
The
disaggregated
burden
per
form
is
estimated
below:
(1)
Enrollment
Form—
EPA
estimates
that,
on
average,
80
new
partners
will
fill
out
this
form
each
year.
EPA
further
estimates
that
ten
percent
of
existing
partners
will
notify
EPA
to
modify
their
waste
minimization
goals
each
year
(i.
e.,
10%
×
150
=
15
partners
per
year).
The
total
annual
hourly
burden
for
this
form
is
estimated
to
be
2,723
hours.
The
total
annual
cost
for
this
form
is
estimated
to
be
$168,221.
(2)
Application
for
Certificate
of
Past
Accomplishments—
EPA
estimates
that
two­
thirds
of
new
partners
will
submit
an
application
each
year,
or
54
partners
per
year.
The
total
annual
hourly
burden
for
this
form
is
estimated
to
be
109
hours.
The
total
annual
cost
for
this
form
is
estimated
to
be
$6,878.
(3)
Application
for
Certificate
of
Accomplishment—
EPA
estimates
that
80
percent
of
existing
facilities
will
submit
this
one­
time
form,
or
64
partners
per
year.
The
total
annual
hourly
burden
for
this
one­
time
form
is
estimated
to
be
128
hours.
The
total
annual
cost
for
this
one­
time
form
is
estimated
to
be
$8,152.
(4)
Case
Studies
Submission
Form—
EPA
expects
that
50
percent
of
existing
facilities
will
submit
this
one­
time
form,
or
40
partners
per
year.
The
total
annual
hourly
burden
for
this
one­
time
form
is
estimated
to
be
320
hours.
The
total
annual
cost
for
this
one­
time
form
is
estimated
to
be
$20,055.
Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
