Abstract: Section 3002 of RCRA requires hazardous waste generators to report, at least every 2 years, the quantity and nature of hazardous waste generated and managed during that reporting cycle. Section 3004 requires treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) to report any waste received. This is mandatory reporting. The information is collected via the Hazardous Waste Report (EPA Form 8700-13 A/B). This form is also known as the ``Biennial Report'' form. Section 3010 of RCRA requires any person who generates or transports regulated waste or who owns or operates a facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal of regulated waste to notify the EPA of their activities, including the location and general description of activities and the regulated wastes handled. The entity is then issued an EPA Identification number. Entities use the Notification Form (EPA Form 8700-12) to notify EPA of their hazardous waste activities. This form is also known as the ``Notification'' form. On January 13, 2015, EPA published the Definition of Solid Waste (DSW) final rule (80 FR 1694), which revised the regulations related to certain exclusions from solid and hazardous waste regulation. Changes have been made to the Notification form to reflect this final rule. Section 3005 of RCRA requires TSDFs to obtain a permit. To obtain the permit, the TSDF must submit an application describing the facility's operation. The RCRA Hazardous Waste Part A Permit Application form (EPA Form 8700-23) defines the processes to be used for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes; the design capacity of such processes; and the specific hazardous wastes to be handled at the facility. Form Numbers: EPA form numbers 8700-12, 8700-13A/B, and 8700-23. Respondents/affected entities: Business or other for-profit as well as State, Local, or Tribal governments. Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA Sections 3002, 3304, 3005, 3010). Estimated number of respondents: 64,005. Frequency of response: Biennially and on occasion. Total estimated burden: 647,425 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $28,488,775 (per year), includes $323,817 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 27,936 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to an increase in the number of projected respondents to the 2017 Hazardous Waste Report vs the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report.
