Abstract: This ICR provides a discussion of all the information

rulemaking petitions, solid waste and boiler variances, hazardous waste
exclusions, and hazardous waste listing exemptions under 40 CFR parts
260 and 261. It includes a detailed description of data items and
respondent activities associated with each activity. 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 Federal Register

collection of information was published on April 3, 2001 (66 FR 17702);
no comments were submitted.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and record keeping
burden for this collection of information varies depending on the type

delisting petition). The average recordkeeping burden per respondent
ranges from 63 hours (equipment cleaning and replacement) to 2 hours
(delisting petition). 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
