1(

Title
and
Number
of
the
Information
Collection
This
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)
is
entitled
"
Used
Oil
Management
Standards
Recordkeeping
and
Reporting
Requirements,"
ICR
Number
1286.07,
OMB
Control
Number
2050­
0124.

1(
b)
Short
Characterization
Section
3014
of
the
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
of
1976
(
RCRA),
as
amended
by
the
Hazardous
and
Solid
Waste
Amendments
of
1984
(
HSWA),
directs
the
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
to
"
promulgate
regulations
.
.
.
as
may
be
necessary
to
protect
public
health
and
the
environment
from
the
hazards
associated
with
recycled
oil"
and,
at
the
same
time,
to
not
discourage
used
oil
recycling.
This
mandate
was
amended
to
RCRA
as
section
3012
by
the
Used
Oil
Recycling
Act
of
1980
(
UORA),
and
later
redesignated
as
section
3014
by
HSWA.
Under
this
authority,
EPA
established
regulations
at
40
CFR
part
279
to
control
the
management
of
used
oil
destined
for
recycling.

The
regulations
at
40
CFR
part
279
establish,
among
other
things,
streamlined
procedures
for
notification,
testing,
labeling,
and
recordkeeping.
They
also
establish
a
flexible
selfimplementing
approach
for
tracking
off­
site
shipments
that
allow
used
oil
handlers
to
use
standard
business
practices
(
e.
g.,
invoices,
bill
of
lading).
In
addition,
part
279
sets
standards
for
the
prevention
and
cleanup
of
releases
to
the
environment
during
storage
and
transit.
EPA
believes
these
requirements
will
minimize
potential
mismanagement
of
used
oils,
while
not
discouraging
recycling.

This
ICR
provides
a
comprehensive
description
of
the
requirements
applicable
to
used
oil
handlers
at
40
CFR
part
279.
It
replaces
the
previously
approved
ICR
on
the
used
oil
management
standards
(
i.
e.,
ICR
Number
1286.06).
Sections
1
through
5
of
this
ICR
describe
the
specific
information
collection
requirements
(
e.
g.,
from
the
standpoint
of
need,
use,
respondent
activities).
In
Section
6,
EPA
estimates
the
annual
hour
and
cost
burden
to
respondents
and
the
Agency
under
these
requirements,
and
discusses
the
reasons
for
the
change
in
annual
burden
since
the
previously
approved
ICR.

Following
is
a
brief
description
of
the
information
collection
requirements
for
used
oil
handlers.

(
1)
Used
Oil
Generators
In
order
for
a
burden
to
qualify
as
an
ICR
element
as
part
of
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995
(
PRA),
it
must
impose
a
monitoring,
reporting,
or
recordkeeping
requirement,
and
not
be
considered
a
customary
business
practice.
Although
40
CFR
part
279,
subpart
C
contains
1­
2
at
least
the
burden
element
of
reading
and
understanding
the
regulations,
there
is
no
burden
reported
in
this
ICR
because
there
are
no
monitoring,
reporting,
or
recordkeeping
requirements
for
used
oil
generators.

(
2)
Used
Oil
Collection
Centers
and
Aggregation
Points
In
order
for
a
burden
to
qualify
as
an
ICR
element
as
part
of
the
PRA,
it
must
impose
a
monitoring,
reporting,
or
recordkeeping
requirement,
and
not
be
considered
a
customary
business
practice.
40
CFR
part
279,
subpart
D
does
contain
burden
elements
for
collection
centers.
However,
the
burden
for
reading
and
understanding
the
regulations
is
not
reported
in
this
ICR,
since
there
are
no
monitoring,
reporting,
or
recordkeeping
requirements
for
used
oil
collection
centers
and
aggregation
points.
Furthermore,
since
the
section
279.31
burden
associated
with
registration,
licensing,
or
permitting
is
in
response
to
State
and
local
government
requirements,
no
burden
is
reported
in
this
ICR.

(
3)
Used
Oil
Transporters
and
Transfer
Facilities
40
CFR
279.42
requires
used
oil
transporters
who
have
not
previously
complied
with
the
notification
requirements
of
section
3010
of
RCRA
to
obtain
an
EPA
identification
number,
which
can
be
obtained
by
submitting
a
completed
EPA
Form
8700­
12
or
a
letter
to
EPA
requesting
an
EPA
identification
number.

40
CFR
279.43(
c)
provides
that,
in
the
event
of
a
discharge
of
used
oil
during
transportation,
the
transporter
must
take
appropriate
immediate
action
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment.
Under
section
279.43(
c)(
1)
through
(
3),
transporters
that
have
discharged
used
oil
must
give
notice,
if
required
by
49
CFR
171.15,
to
the
National
Response
Center
(
NRC)
and
to
report
in
writing,
as
required
by
49
CFR
171.16,
to
the
Department
of
Transportation
(
DOT).
Section
279.43(
c)(
4)
requires
a
water
transporter
who
has
discharged
used
oil
to
give
notice
as
required
by
33
CFR
153.203.

40
CFR
279.44
provides
that,
to
ensure
that
used
oil
is
not
a
hazardous
waste
under
the
rebuttable
presumption
of
section
279.10(
b)(
1)(
ii),
the
used
oil
transporter
must
determine
whether
the
total
halogen
content
of
used
oil
being
transported
or
stored
at
a
transfer
facility
is
above
or
below
1,000
ppm.
If
the
used
oil
contains
greater
than
or
equal
to
1,000
ppm
total
halogens,
the
transporter
may
rebut
the
hazardous
waste
presumption
by
demonstrating
that
the
used
oil
does
not
contain
hazardous
waste,
if
desired.
Records
of
analyses
conducted
or
information
used
to
comply
with
section
279.44
must
be
maintained
by
the
used
oil
transporter
for
at
least
three
years
(
§
279.44(
d)).

40
CFR
279.45(
g)
requires
that
labels
with
the
words
"
Used
Oil"
be
clearly
placed
on
containers
and
aboveground
tanks
used
to
store
oil
and
on
fill
pipes
used
to
transfer
oil
into
underground
storage
tanks
at
the
transfer
facility.
1­
3
Used
oil
transporters
must
keep
a
record
of
each
used
oil
shipment
accepted
for
transport
and
each
used
oil
shipment
that
is
delivered
to
another
used
oil
transporter,
or
to
a
used
oil
burner,
processor/
re­
refiner,
or
disposal
facility
(
§
§
279.46(
a)
and
(
b)).
In
addition,
used
oil
transporters
must
keep
a
record
of
each
shipment
of
used
oil
exported
to
any
foreign
country
(
§
279.46(
c)).
These
shipment
records
must
be
maintained
for
at
least
three
years
(
§
279.46(
d)).

(
4)
Used
Oil
Processors
and
Re­
Refiners
40
CFR
279.51
requires
used
oil
processors
and
re­
refiners
who
have
not
previously
complied
with
the
notification
requirements
of
section
3010
of
RCRA
to
obtain
an
EPA
identification
number,
which
can
be
obtained
by
submitting
to
EPA
a
completed
EPA
Form
8700­
12
or
a
letter
to
EPA
requesting
an
EPA
identification
number.

Pursuant
to
40
CFR
279.52(
a)(
6),
owners
and
operators
must
attempt
to
make
arrangements
to
familiarize
the
State
and
local
authorities
(
e.
g.,
police,
fire
departments,
emergency
response,
hospitals)
with
the
layout
of
the
facility,
properties
of
used
oil
handled
at
the
facility
and
associated
hazards,
and
the
potential
need
for
the
services
of
these
organizations,
among
other
things.
Where
State
or
local
authorities
decline
to
enter
into
such
arrangements,
the
owner
or
operator
must
document
the
refusal
in
the
operating
record
(
§
279.52(
a)(
6)(
ii)).

Pursuant
to
40
CFR
279.52(
b)(
1),
each
owner
and
operator
must
have
a
contingency
plan
for
the
facility.
The
contingency
plan
must
address
the
requirements
spelled
out
in
section
279.52(
b)(
2).
A
copy
of
the
contingency
plan
and
all
revisions
of
the
contingency
plan
must
be
maintained
at
the
facility
and
submitted
to
all
State
and
local
authorities
that
may
be
called
upon
to
provide
emergency
services
(
§
279.52(
b)(
3)).
The
plan
must
be
reviewed
and
immediately
amended,
if
necessary,
as
provided
by
section
279.52(
b)(
4).

Pursuant
to
40
CFR
279.52(
b)(
6),
whenever
there
is
an
imminent
or

NEED
FOR
AND

OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need
And
Authority
For
The
Collection
Section
3014
of
RCRA,
as
amended,
provides
EPA
with
the
statutory
authority
to
promulgate
the
40
CFR
part
279
used
oil
management
standards
to
protect
public
health
and
the
environment
and
to
not
discourage
recycling.
Sections
3007
and
3013
of
RCRA
provide
EPA
with
the
authority
to
require
the
collection
of
information
associated
with
these
standards.
Section
3007
provides
that
any
hazardous
waste
handler
shall,
upon
request
by
any
authorized
representative
of
EPA,
furnish
information
relating
to
the
wastes
being
managed,
and
grant
access
to
all
records
relating
to
such
wastes.
Section
3013
gives
EPA
the
authority
to
issue
an
order
requiring
a
facility
owner/
operator
to
conduct
monitoring,
testing,
analysis,
and
reporting
with
respect
to
such
facility
to
ascertain
the
nature
and
extent
of
a
condition
that
may
pose
a
substantial
hazard
to
human
health
and
the
environment.

In
addition,
pursuant
to
section
3010
of
RCRA,
used
oil
handlers
who
have
not
received
an
EPA
identification
number
must
obtain
one
by
notifying
EPA
of
their
used
oil
activity
and
requesting
an
EPA
identification
number.

(

Used
Oil
Transporters
and
Transfer
Facilities
Section
279.42
requires
used
oil
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
to
obtain
an
EPA
identification
number.
This
information
collection
is
needed
to
ensure
consistent
and
coordinated
identification
of
the
facility
by
EPA
under
RCRA
and
other
regulatory
programs.

Section
279.43(
c)
provides
that,
in
the
event
of
a
discharge
of
used
oil
during
transportation,
the
transporter
must
give
notice
to
the
NRC
and
report
in
writing
to
DOT,
as
specified.
EPA
believes
this
information
collection
is
necessary
to
minimize
threats
to
human
health
and
the
environment
caused
by
a
discharge
of
used
oil.

Pursuant
to
section
279.44,
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
must
ensure
that
used
oil
is
not
a
hazardous
waste
under
the
rebuttable
presumption
of
section
279.10(
b)(
1)(
ii).
If
the
used
oil
contains
greater
than
or
equal
to
1,000
ppm
total
halogens,
the
transporter
may
rebut
the
hazardous
waste
presumption
by
demonstrating
that
the
used
oil
does
not
contain
hazardous
waste.
Records
of
analyses
conducted
or
information
used
to
comply
with
section
279.44
must
be
maintained
by
the
used
oil
transporter
for
at
least
three
years.
EPA
believes
that
this
information
collection
is
necessary
to
ensure
that
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
are
not
managing
hazardous
waste
under
part
279.

Under
section
279.45(
g),
used
oil
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
are
required
to
place
labels
with
the
words
"
Used
Oil"
on
containers
and
aboveground
tanks
used
to
store
used
oil
and
on
fill
pipes
used
to
transfer
used
oil
into
underground
storage
tanks
at
the
transfer
facilities.
EPA
believes
this
labeling
requirement
is
necessary
to
inform
on­
and
off­
site
personnel
(
e.
g.,
2­
2
emergency
response
personnel)
of
the
used
oil,
so
that
they
may
take
appropriate
action
as
needed.
The
labels
also
will
assist
EPA
site
inspectors
ensure
the
used
oil
is
being
managed
in
a
compliant
manner
at
transfer
facilities.

Section
279.46
requires
used
oil
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
to
keep
records
of
each
used
oil
shipment
(
1)
accepted
for
transport;
(
2)
delivered
to
another
used
oil
transporter,
or
to
a
used
oil
burner,
processor/
re­
refiner,
or
disposal
facility;
or
(
3)
exported
to
any
foreign
country.
The
records
must
be
maintained
for
at
least
three
years.
EPA
believes
that
these
requirements
assist
in
keeping
used
oil
handlers
accountable
for
the
movement
of
used
oil.
EPA
also
believes
these
recordkeeping
requirements
are
necessary
to
monitor
the
flow
of
used
oil
within
the
used
oil
management
system.
By
providing
a
paper
trail
documenting
all
parties
who
handled
the
used
oil,
the
requirements
also
discourage
adulteration
of
used
oil
by
any
used
oil
transporter
or
transfer
facility.

(

Used
Oil
Processors
and
Re­
Refiners
Section
279.51
requires
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
to
obtain
an
EPA
identification
number.
This
information
collection
is
needed
to
ensure
consistent
and
coordinated
identification
of
the
facility
by
EPA
under
RCRA
and
other
regulatory
programs.

Section
279.52(
a)(
6)
specifically
requires
processors/
re­
refiners
to
document
any
refusal
on
the
part
of
any
local
authorities
to
enter
into
an
arrangement
to
handle
emergencies.
EPA
believes
that
this
information
collection
is
necessary
to
demonstrate
that
necessary
arrangements
with
State
or
local
authorities
have
been
made.

Section
279.52(
b)
requires
all
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
to
prepare
and
maintain
contingency
plans
and
to
notify
State
and
local
authorities
whenever
an
imminent
or
actual
emergency
situation
occurs.
EPA
believes
that
these
information
collection
requirements
will
ensure
that
used
oil
processing
and
re­
refining
facilities
are
maintained
to
minimize
the
threat
of
a
sudden
or
non­
sudden
release,
fire,
explosion
or
similar
emergency,
as
well
as
ensure
that
facilities
are
prepared
to
undertake
appropriate
actions
if
an
emergency
situation
occurs.

Pursuant
to
section
279.53,
processors/
re­
refiners
must
ensure
that
used
oil
is
not
a
hazardous
waste
under
the
rebuttable
presumption
of
section
279.10(
b)(
1)(
ii).
If
the
used
oil
contains
greater
than
or
equal
to
1,000
ppm
total
halogens,
the
processor/
re­
refiner
may
rebut
the
hazardous
waste
presumption
by
demonstrating
that
the
used
oil
does
not
contain
hazardous
waste.
EPA
believes
that
this
information
collection
is
necessary
to
ensure
that
processors/
rerefiners
complying
with
the
part
279
requirements
are
not
managing
used
oil
that
contains
hazardous

Under
section
279.54(

used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
are
required
to
place
labels
with
the
words
"

on
containers
and
aboveground

used
to
store
used
oil
and

EPA
believes
this
labeling
requirement
is
necessary
to
inform
on­
and
off­
site
personnel
(
e.
g.,
emergency
response
personnel)
of
the
used
oil,
so
that
they
may
take
appropriate
action
as
needed.
The
labels
also
will
assist
EPA
site
inspectors
ensure
the
used
oil
is
being
managed
in
a
compliant
manner
at
processing
and
re­
refining
facilities.

Pursuant
to
section
279.54(
h)(
1),
if
a
used
oil
processor
or
re­
refiner
demonstrates
that
not
all
contaminated
soils
can
be
practicably
removed
or
decontaminated
as
required
by
279.54(
h)(
1)(
i),
the
owner
or
operator
must
close
the
tank
system
and
perform
post­
closure
care
in
accordance
with
the
closure
and
post­
closure
requirements
that
apply
to
hazardous
waste
landfills
(
i.
e.,
the
requirements
in
§
265.310).
Requiring
used
oil
processing
and
re­
refining
facilities
to
comply
with
these
regulations
contributes
to
EPA's
goal
of
ensuring
that
all
tank
systems
are
closed
in
a
manner
that
controls,
minimizes,
or
eliminates
post­
closure
escape
of
used
oil
to
ground
or
surface
waters
and
the
atmosphere
to
the
extent
necessary
to
protect
human
health
and
the
environment.

Pursuant
to
section
279.55,
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
must
develop
a
written
used
oil
analysis
plan
and
retain
a
copy
of
the
plan
at
the
facility.
The
plan
must
include
information
concerning
methods,
location,
and
frequency
for
analysis
of
used
oil.
EPA
believes
this
requirement
will
ensure
that
processors/
re­
refiners
have
a
systematic
way
of
analyzing
used
oil,
and
determining
the
composition
of
the
used
oil
(
e.
g.,
halogen
content).

Section
279.56
requires
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
to
keep
records
of
each
used
oil
shipment
accepted
for
processing/
re­
refining
or
shipped
to
a
used
oil
burner,
processor/
re­
refiner,
or
disposal
facility.
The
records
must
be
maintained
for
at
least
three
years.
EPA
believes
that
these
requirements
assist
in
keeping
used
oil
handlers
accountable
for
the
movement
of
used
oil.
EPA
also
believes
these
recordkeeping
requirements
are
necessary
to
monitor
the
flow
of
used
oil
within
the
used
oil
management
system.
By
providing
a
paper
trail
documenting
all
parties
who
handled
the
used
oil,
the
requirements
also
discourage
adulteration
of
used
oil
by
any
used
oil
processor/
re­
refiner.

Pursuant
to
section
279.57,
processors/
re­
refiners
must
keep
a
written
operating
record
at
the
facility.
In
addition,
they
must
submit
a
biennial
report
to
EPA
concerning
used
oil
activities
during
the
previous
calendar
year.
EPA
believes
that
requiring
facilities
to
develop
and
maintain
an
operating
record
and
report
on
the
used
oil
activities
at
their
facilities
contributes
to
EPA's
goal
of
minimizing
damage
to
the
environment
due
to
the
management
of

and
assess
the
relative
amounts
of
used

Agency
assess
the
overall
effectiveness
of
the
used
oil
management
standards
by
identifying
used
oil
handling
practices
that
may
pose
an
undue
risk
to
human
health
and

NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
Nonduplication
There
is
no
other
Federal
agency
that
collects
the
information
as
required
under
part
279
concerning
the
management
of
used
oil
for
recycling.
EPA
has
coordinated
the
development
of
the
part
279
requirements
with
the
Department
of
Transportation's
49
CFR
regulations,
where
applicable.
Used
oil
transporters
must
comply
with
all
applicable
packaging,
labeling,
and
placarding
requirements
of
49
CFR
parts
173,
178,
and
179.
In
addition,
used
oil
transporters
must
report
discharges
of
used
oil
according
to
existing
49
CFR
part
171
and
33
CFR
part
153
requirements.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
In
compliance
with
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995,
EPA
has
issued
a
public
notice
in
the
Federal
Register
[
67
FR
42060,
July
21,
2005].
EPA
received
no
comments.

3(
c)
Consultations
In
developing
previously
approved
ICRs
on
the
used
oil
standards,
EPA
conducted
consultations
with
industry
representatives.
Their
feedback
enabled
the
Agency
to
develop
hour
and
cost
assumptions
that
are
representative
of
their
"
real­
world"
experience.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
EPA
has
carefully
considered
the
burden
imposed
upon
the
regulated
community
by
the
regulations.
EPA
is
confident
that
those
activities
required
of
respondents
are
necessary,
and
to
the
extent
possible,
has
attempted
to
minimize
the
burden
imposed.
EPA
believes
strongly
that
if
the
minimum
requirements
specified
under
the
regulations
are
not
met,
neither
the
facilities
nor
EPA
can
ensure
that
used
oil
is
being
managed
in
a
manner
protective
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(

Confidentiality
Section
3007(
b)
of
RCRA
and
40
CFR
part
2,
subpart
B,
which
defines
EPA's
general
policy
on
public
disclosure
of
information,
contain
provisions
for
confidentiality.
However,
the
3­
2
Agency
does
not
anticipate
that
businesses
will
assert
a
claim
of
confidentiality
covering
all
or
part
of
the
information
collection
requirements
covered
in
this
ICR.
If
such
a
claim
were
asserted,
EPA
must
and
will
treat
the
information
in
accordance
with
the
regulations
cited
above.
EPA
also
has
ensured
that
this
information
collection
complies
with
the
Privacy
Act
of
1974
and
OMB
Circular

not
hazardous
waste
under
the
rebuttable
presumption
of
section

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
In
collecting
and
analyzing
the
information
required
under
the
part
279
requirements,
EPA
uses
equipment
such
as
personal
computers
and
applicable
data
base
software,
when
appropriate.
EPA
will
ensure
the
accuracy
and
completeness
of
the
collected
information
by
reviewing
each
submittal.
EPA
will
enter
the
information
obtained
into
a
database,
as
appropriate,
and
aggregate
data
to
monitor
the
used
oil
management
program.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
In
promulgating
the
used
oil
management
regulations
covered
in
this
ICR,
EPA
considered
the
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
small
businesses.
The
regulations
in
part
279
allow
used
oil
handlers
to
maintain
most
information
in
facility
records
rather
than
in
submittals
to
EPA,
thus
reducing
time
and
costs
for
providing
information.
5­
5
In
addition,
the
used
oil
management
system
is
a
regulatory
relief
initiative
that
should
reduce
regulatory
burden
and
costs
for
all
used
oil
handlers,
but
should
particularly
benefit
small
entities.

5(
d)
Collection
Schedule
For
the
most
part,
EPA
collects
information
under
the
part
279
regulations
on
a
one­
time
or
as­
needed
basis
(
e.
g.,
notifications,
demonstrations).
However,
in
the
event
that
a
release,
fire,
or
explosion
occurs,
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
must
inform
EPA
and
appropriate
State
and
local
authorities
that
the
facility
is
in
compliance
with
the
waste
compatibility
and
emergency
equipment
requirements
in
section
279.52(
b)(
6)
before
operations
are
resumed.
Within
15
days
after
the
incident,
processors/
re­
refiners
must
submit
a
written
report
on
the
incident
to
EPA,
as
required
by
sections
279.52(
b)(
6)(
ix).

In
addition,
under
section
279.57(
b),
processors/
re­
refiners
are
required
to
report
to
EPA,
in
the
form
of
a
letter,
on
a
biennial
basis
(
by
March
1
of
each
even
numbered
year),
specified
information
concerning
used
oil
activities
during
the
previous
calendar
year.
1
Note
that,
for
purposes
of
this
ICR,
States
are
considered
respondents
when
they
submit
documents
to
EPA
to
satisfy
applicable
40
CFR
regulations
(
e.
g.,
submitting
a
petition
to
allow
the
use
of
used
oil
as
a
dust
suppressant).
States
are
considered
regulators
when
administering
a
regulatory
program,
e.
g.,
receiving
emergency
incident
reports
from
facilities.

Specifically,
EPA
referred

In
estimating
average
hourly
labor
rates
for
transporters
and
transfer
facilities,
processors/
re­
refiners,
burners,
and
marketers,
EPA
referred
to
the
loaded
hourly
rates
in
the
previous
ICR
(
ICR
Number
1286.06).
EPA
applied
an
adjustment
factor
of
1.086
to
update
the
loaded
hourly
rates
to
2005
levels.

In
estimating
average
hourly
labor
rates
for
State
programs,
EPA
referred
to
the

This
document
summarizes
loaded
hourly
rates
for
various
categories
in
State
and

The
labor
rates
in
Table

were
used
to
calculate
the
labor
cost
to
all
respondents
in
conducting
the
reporting

EPA
estimates
the
Agency
hour
and
cost
burden
associated
with
all
of
the
requirements
covered
in
this
ICR
in
Exhibit
7.
Based
on
the
"
General
Schedule
(
GS)
Salary
Table
2005,"
EPA
estimates
an
average
hourly
labor
rate
of
$
49.44
for
managerial
staff
(
GS­
13,
Step
1),
$
34.69
for
technical
staff
(
GS­
11,
Step
1),
and
$
21.10
for
clerical
staff
(
GS­
6,
Step
1).
To
derive
these
hourly
estimates,
EPA
multiplied
the
basic
hourly
rates
by
the
standard
government
overhead
factor
of
1.6.
4
In
estimating
the
number
of
used
oil
transporters
and
transfer
facilities,
EPA
referred
to
the
HACTIVITY
table
of
the
Handler
Module
in
RCRAInfo
to
ascertain
the
notification
data.

5
In
estimating
the
number
of
used
oil
marketers,
EPA
assumed
that
50
percent
of
the
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
(
i.
e.,
0.50
x
379
=
190)
and
all
processors/
re­
refiners
(
i.
e.,
150)
act
as
used
oil
fuel
marketers.
Thus,
EPA
estimates
that
there
are
340
used
oil
fuel
marketers.

In
addition,
based
on

with
industry
representatives,
EPA
estimates
that
150

re­
refiners,
on
average,
will
be
subject
to
the
information
collection
requirements
in

EPA
also
estimates
that
750

will
be
subject
to
the

EPA
estimates
that
21

A
discussion
of
the
assumptions
used
in
developing
these
burden
estimates
follows.

(
a)
Used
Oil
Transporters
and
Transfer
Facilities
(
a1)
Reading
the
Regulations
EPA
expects
that
379
used
oil
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
will
read
the
part
279,
subpart
E
regulations
each
year.
This
assumption
is
reflected
in
Exhibit
1.

(
a2)
Used
Oil
Discharge
EPA
expects
one
percent
of
transporters
to
notify
local
authorities
of
a
discharge
of
used
oil
under
section
279.43.

(
a3)
Rebuttable
Presumption
for
Used
Oil
EPA
estimates
that
all
379
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
will
determine
whether
the
total
halogen
content
of
used
oil
being
transported
or
stored
at
a
transfer
facility
is
above
or
below
1,000
ppm
by
testing
the
used
oil.
EPA
estimates
that
each
transporter
and
transfer
facility
will
conduct
4,633
tests
each
year.
Transporters
and
transfer
facilities
are
expected
to
maintain
records
of
analyses
conducted
or
information
used
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
rebuttable
presumption
for
used
oil
for
at
least
three
years.

This
ICR
element
does
not
impose
incremental
burden
because
the
exact
wording
of
the
information
to
be
disclosed
is
provided
in
the
regulations.

(
a5)
Tracking
Used
oil
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
must
keep
records
of
each
used
oil
shipment
accepted
for
transport
and
each
used
oil
shipment
delivered
to
another
used
oil
transporter,
or
to
a
used
oil
burner,
processor/
re­
refiner,
or
disposal
facility
for
at
least
three
years.
EPA
estimates
that
each
of
the
379
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
will
accept
4,000
used
oil
shipments
each
year
from
generators,
collection
centers,
aggregation
points,
and
processors/
re­
refiners.
EPA
also
estimates
that
each
of
the
379
transporters
and
transfer
facilities
will
deliver
530
used
oil
shipments
each
year.
In
addition,
EPA
estimates
that
roughly
1,500
shipments
will
be
exported
from
the
U.
S.
annually.

(
b)
Used
Oil
Processors
and
Re­
Refiners
(
b1)
Reading
the
Regulations
EPA
expects
that
150
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
will
read
the
part
279,
subpart
F
regulations
each
year.
This
assumption
is
reflected
in
Exhibit
2.

(
b2)
Arrangements
with
State
and
Local
Authorities
For
purposes
of
this
analysis,
EPA
assumes
that
no
State
or
local
authority
will
refuse
to
participate
in
an
arrangement
under
40
CFR
279.52.
Thus,
no
processors/
re­
refiners
will
have
to
document
a
refusal
in
their
operating
record.

(
b3)
Contingency
Plan
EPA
assumes
that
existing
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
have
already
developed
and
submitted
their
contingency
plans
to
the
appropriate
State
and
local
authorities.
Thus,
EPA
estimates
that
only
new
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
will
have
to
conduct
this
activity.

EPA
also
assumes
that
one
percent
of
all
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
(
i.
e.,
0.01
x
150
=
2)
will
need
to
revise
their
contingency
plan
each
year.

Emergency
Procedures
EPA
estimates
that,
each
year,
one
percent
of
all
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
(
i.
e.,
0.01
x
150
=
2)
will
experience
an
emergency
situation.
These
processors/
re­
refiners
will
need
to
comply
with
the
emergency
procedures
in
section
279.52(
b)(
6),
e.
g.,
collect
information
required
for
an
emergency
report,
notify
the
appropriate
emergency
response
agencies,
submit
a
written
report
on
the
emergency
incident
to
EPA.

(

Rebuttable
Presumption
for
Used
Oil
Refer
to
the
subsection
of
this
ICR
"
Analysis
Plan"
for
the
burden
associated
with
all
analyses,
including
the
tests
required
by
40
CFR
279.53
and
279.72.
Refer
to
the
subsection
"
Operating
Record"
for
the
recordkeeping
burden
associated
with
these
analyses.

(
b6)
Labels
This
ICR
element
does
not
impose
incremental
burden
because
the
exact
wording
of
the
information
to
be
disclosed
is
provided
in
the
regulations.

(
b7)
Closure
of
Aboveground
Tanks
EPA
estimates
that,
each
year,
0.05
percent
of
all
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
will
not
be
able
to
remove
or
decontaminate
used
oil
residues
in
contaminated
tanks,
containment
system
components,
soils,
and
other
equipment,
and
manage
them
as
hazardous
waste
upon
closure
of
a
tank
system.
Thus,
EPA
estimates
that
one
used
oil
processor/
re­
refiner
(
i.
e.,
0.005
x
150
=
1)
will
prepare
and
submit
a
demonstration
to
EPA
demonstrating
that
not
all
contaminated
soils
can
be
practicably
removed
or
decontaminated
as
required
by
section
279.54(
h)(
1)(
i).

(
b8)
Analysis
Plan
EPA
assumes
that
existing
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
have
already
developed
a
written
analysis
plan.
Thus,
EPA
estimates
that
only
the
two
new
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
will
have
to
conduct
this
activity.

EPA
also
assumes
that
all
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
will
need
to
follow
the
analysis
plan
each
year
in
complying
with
40
CFR
279.53
and
279.72,
if
applicable.
These
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
also
will
need
to
maintain
the
analysis
plan
at
the
facility.
6­

(
b9)
Tracking
Used
oil
processor/
re­
refiners
must
keep
records
of
each
used
oil
shipment
accepted
for
processing/
re­
refining
and
each
used
oil
shipment
shipped
to
a
used
oil
burner,
processor/
rerefiner
or
disposal
facility
for
at
least
three
years.
EPA
estimates
that
each
of
the
150
processors/
re­
refiners
will
accept
1,249
used
oil
shipments
each
year.
EPA
also
estimates
that
each
of
the
150
processors/
re­
refiners
will
ship
2,000
used
oil
shipments
each
year.

(

Operating
Record
EPA
estimates
that
all
processors/
re­
refiners
will
record,
in
their
operating
record,
the
results
of
used
oil
analysis,
summary
reports,
and
details
of
all
emergency
incidents.

(
b11)
Reporting
EPA
estimates
that
all
processors/
re­
refiners
will
submit
to
EPA
a
biennial
report
describing
the
used
oil
activities
undertaken
at
their
facilities.
EPA
assumes
that
these
processors/
re­
refiners
will
prepare
and
submit
their
biennial
reports
twice
during
the
three­
year
life
of
the
ICR.
In
estimating
the
annual
respondent
hour
and
cost
burden
over
the
three­
year
period
covered
by
this
ICR,
EPA
annualized
the
hour
and
cost
burden
of
this
biennial
activity
by
multiplying
the
number
of
respondents
by
two­
thirds.
Thus,
EPA
estimates
that
100
processors/
re­
refiners
(
i.
e.,
150
processors/
re­
refiners
x
2/
3
=
100)
on
average
will
prepare
and
submit
the

Note
that
the
recordkeeping
burden
estimate
of
55
hours
includes
time
for
maintaining
records
of
used
oil
analyses
(
46
hours)
and
records
of
each
shipment
accepted,
delivered,
or
exported
(
9
hours).

8
Note
that
this
ICR
estimates
that,
each
year,
only
one
percent
of
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
(
i.
e.,
two
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners)
will
need
to
prepare
or
revise
a
contingency
plan
and/
or
comply
with
the
emergency
procedures
in
section
279.52(
b)(
6).

9
Note
that,
in
the
previous
ICR
(
ICR
Number
1286.05),
EPA
assumed
that
each
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiner
would
accept
530
used
oil
shipments
each
year.
EPA
also
assumed
that
each
used
oil
processor/
re­
refiner
would
ship
4,000
used
oil
shipments
each
year.
In
renewing
this
ICR,
EPA
noticed
that
these
assumptions
were
inconsistent
with
other
related
assumptions
in
the
ICR.
As
such,
EPA
resolved
these
inconsistencies
by
assuming
that
each
processor/
re­
refiner
will
accept
1,249
used
oil
shipments
and
will
ship
2,000
used
oil
shipments
each
year.

10
This
ICR
estimates
that
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners
will
submit
the
biennial
report
twice
over
the
three­
year
period
covered
by
the
ICR.
Thus,
the
annual
burden
associated
with
this
biennial
reporting
requirement
is
3.33
hours
(
i.
e.,
(
5
hours
x
2)/
3
years
=
3.33
hours/
year).

Burden
Statement
For
used
oil
transporters
and
transfer
facilities,
the
burden
related
to
reading
the
regulations
is
four
hours
per
year.
The
number
of
hours
required
to
perform
halogen
tests
on
an
annual
basis
is
463.
The
total
tracking
burden
for
preparing
records
of
each
used
oil
shipment
accepted,
delivered,
or
exported
is
363
hours
per
year.
Also,
filing
and
maintaining
records
requires
55
hours
per
year.
7
This
results
in
a
total
of
885
hours
per
respondent
per
year.

For
used
oil
processors/
re­
refiners,
reading
the
regulations
requires
14
hours
per
year,
while
the
contingency
and
emergency
plan
requirements
impose
a
burden
of
32
hours
per
year.
8
Following
and
maintaining
the
analysis
plan
at
the
facility
represents
an
annual
burden
of
six
hours.
The
total
tracking
burden
for
preparing
records
of
each
used
oil
shipment
accepted
or
delivered
is
292
hours
per
year.
9
The
biennial
report
takes
five
hours
to
complete
and
submit.
10
Also,
recording
information
in
the
operating
record
requires
71
hours
per
year.
All
these
burdens
together
total
to
420
hours
per
respondent
per
year.

For
burners
of
off­
specification
used
oil,
reading
the
regulations
imposes
a
burden
of
13
hours
per
year.
The
burden
of
tracking
the
off­
specification
used
oil
to
be
burned
for
energy
recovery
is
1.8
hours
per
year,
and
it
takes
six
minutes
to
notify
marketers
that
the
facility
is
EPA
approved
for
that
purpose.
Adding
that
recordkeeping
requires
1.55
hours
per
year,
the
total
comes
to
16.45
hours
per
year.

For
used
oil
fuel
marketers,
reading
the
regulations
imposes
a
burden
of
0.75
hour
per
year.
The
burden
related
to
performing
demonstrations
or
obtaining
proof
that
used
oil
is
onspecification
requires
155
hours
per
year.
Obtaining
certification
from
EPA
approved
burners
takes
five
hours
per
year.
The
total
burden
for
a
marketer
averages
161
per
year.

For
State
programs,
there
is
no
reporting
or
recordkeeping
burden.
