SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information the EPA will be collecting are available in the public

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it 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. The 
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as 
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for 
review and approval. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal 
Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the 
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has 
finalized an alternative set of generator requirements applicable to 
laboratories owned by eligible academic entities, as defined in the 
final rule. The rule, which establishes a Subpart K within 40 CFR Part 
262, provides a flexible and protective set of regulations that address 
the specific nature of hazardous waste generation and accumulation in 
laboratories owned by colleges and universities, and teaching hospitals 
and non-profit research institutes that are either owned by or formally 
affiliated with a college or university. In addition, the rule allows 
colleges and universities and these other eligible academic entities 
formally affiliated with a college or university the discretion to 
determine the most appropriate and effective method of compliance with 
these requirements by allowing them the choice of managing their 
hazardous wastes in accordance with the alternative regulations as set 
forth in Subpart K or remaining subject to the existing generator 
regulations.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are private sector as well as State, Local, or Tribal 
Governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: required to obtain or retain a 
benefit (Sections 2002, 3001, 3002, 3004 of RCRA).
    Estimated number of respondents: 99.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 27,719 hours Burden is defined at 5 CFR 
1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,322,414, 
which includes $1,218,693 annualized labor costs and $103,720 
annualized capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in Estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay 
substantially the same.

    Dated: November 23, 2015.

Director, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery.
