2016. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal 
Register (81 FR 1420) on January 12, 2016 during a 60-day comment 
period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public 
comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its 
estimated burden and cost to the public. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Supporting documents which explain in detail the information that 
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

    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: Hazardous waste facilities; State, 
Local, or Tribal governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 261, 264, 
265, and 266).
    Estimated number of respondents: 4,543 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 654,097 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $25,535,215 (per year), includes $3,682,707 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 17,085 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is mainly due to an increase in the 
number of tank systems reporting in RCRAInfo.
