    Title: Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste Disposal
Facilities and Practices (Renewal)
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1745.06, OMB Control No. 2050-0154.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009.
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: The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, mandated
that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revise the Criteria
for Solid Waste Disposal Facilities that may receive household
hazardous wastes and conditionally exempt small quantity generator
(CESQG) wastes. In order to effectively implement and enforce these
regulations (found at 40 CFR part 257, subpart B) on a State level,
owners/operators of construction and demolition waste landfills that
receive CESQG hazardous wastes have to comply with reporting and
recordkeeping requirements. This ICR documents the ongoing recordkeeping
and reporting burdens associated with the location and ground-water

monitoring provisions contained in 40 CFR part 257, subpart B.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 74
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.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 152.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,219.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost (in thousands of dollars): $2,014,382,
which includes $1,577,659 annualized capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 2,362 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to the reduction in the
total number of Construction & Demolition landfills.

    Dated: January 14, 2009.
John Moses,
Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
