Title: Standardized Permit for RCRA Hazardous Waste Management
Facilities (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1935.03, OMB Control No. 2050-0182.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2008.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
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
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: 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 is finalizing revisions to the
RCRA hazardous waste permitting program to allow a ``standardized
permit.'' The standardized permit is 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.
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.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 82
hours per response. 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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Business or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 866.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,045.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,203,688, includes $592,029 for
labor and $611,659 annualized capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 608 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This slight increase is due to an increase in the
annual number of responses from 175 to 184.
Dated: August 14, 2008.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
