    Abstract: EPA published the Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials 
(NHSM) Rule on March 21, 2011. Amendments to this rule were published 
in the Federal Register on February 7, 2013. These amendments provided 
clarification on certain issues on which EPA received new information, 
as well as specific targeted revisions. In addition, these amendments 
listed several NHSMs as categorical non-wastes when used as fuels. The 
Agency also indicated that we would consider

[[Page 78226]]

adding additional materials to the categorical listings.
    The rule associated with this ICR Supporting Statement proposes to 
add three additional materials to the list of categorical non-waste 
fuels: (1) Construction and demolition (C&D) wood processed from 
construction and demolition debris according to best management 
practices; (2) paper recycling residuals (PRRs), including old 
corrugated cardboard (OCC) rejects, generated from the recycling of 
recovered paper and paperboard products and burned on-site by paper 
recycling mills whose boilers are designed to burn solid fuel, and (3) 
creosote-treated railroad ties that are processed and combusted in 
units designed to burn both biomass and fuel oil. This ICR is a 
description of the indirect information collection requirements 
associated with the proposed rule. There are two burden categories 
associated with this action: reading and understanding the rule, and 
certification statements for affected facilities.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Generators, users, and potential 
users of the new materials proposed to be added to the list of 
categorical non-waste fuels.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary, required to obtain 
non-waste determinations for non-hazardous secondary materials (40 CFR 
part 241).
    Estimated number of respondents: 605 (total).
    Frequency of response: Once.
    Total estimated burden: 885 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $64,739 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: This is a new collection.
