SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to 
submit the information collection request (ICR), Hazardous Waste 
Specific Unit Requirements, and Special Waste Processes and Types (EPA 
ICR No. 1572.11, OMB Control No. 2050-0050), to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Before 
doing so, the EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of 
the proposed information collection as described below. This is a 
proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through 
April 30, 2016. 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before March 14, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
RCRA-2015-0808, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred 
method), by email to [email protected], or by mail to: EPA Docket 
Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the

information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Norma Abdul-Malik, Office of Resource 
Conservation and Recovery (5303P), Environmental Protection Agency, 
1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460; telephone number: 
703-308-8753; fax number: 703-308-8617; email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information the EPA will be collecting are available in the public 
docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone 
number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    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: This ICR provides a discussion of all of the information 
collection requirements associated with specific unit standards 
applicable to owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or 
dispose of hazardous wastes as defined by 40 CFR part 261. It includes 
a detailed description of the data items and respondent activities 
associated with each requirement and with each hazardous waste 
management unit at a facility. The specific units and processes 
included in this ICR are: Tank systems, Surface impoundments, Waste 
piles, Land treatment, Landfills, Incinerators, Thermal treatment, 
Chemical, physical, and biological treatment, Miscellaneous (subpart 
X), Drip pads, Process vents, Equipment leaks, Containment buildings, 
and Recovery/recycling.
    With each information collection covered in this ICR, the EPA is 
aiding the goal of complying with its statutory mandate under RCRA to 
develop standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal 
facilities, to protect human health and the environment. Without the 
information collection, the agency cannot assure that the facilities 
are designed and operated properly.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are private sector and State, Local, or Tribal governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 261, 264, 
265, and 266).
    Estimated number of respondents: 5,450.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 637,012 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 
1320.03(b)
    Total estimated cost: $43,154,219, which includes $39,436,019 
annualized labor costs and $3,718,200 annualized capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in Estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay 
substantially the same.
