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 
November 30, 2018. 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 October 2, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OLEM-2018-0543, 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 
public docket without change including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information 
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Vyas, Environmental Protection 
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460; telephone 
number: 703-308-5477; fax number: 703-308-8433; email address: 
[email protected].

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 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: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 
requires EPA to establish a national regulatory program to ensure that 
hazardous wastes are managed in a manner protective of human health and 
the environment. Under this program, EPA regulates newly generated 
hazardous wastes, as well as hazardous remediation wastes (i.e., 
hazardous wastes managed during cleanup). Hazardous remediation waste 
management sites must comply with all parts of 40 CFR part 264 except 
subparts B, C, and D. In place of these requirements, they need to 
comply with performance standards based on the general requirement 
goals in these sections, which are codified at 40 CFR 264.1(j).
    Under Sec.  264.1(j), owners/operators of remediation waste 
management sites must develop and maintain procedures to prevent 
accidents. These procedures must address proper design, construction, 
maintenance, and operation of hazardous remediation waste management 
units at the site. In addition, owners/operators must develop and 
maintain a contingency and emergency plan to control accidents that 
occur. The plan must explain specifically how to treat, store, and 
dispose of the hazardous remediation waste in question, and must be 
implemented immediately whenever fire, explosion, or release of 
hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents that could threaten 
human health or the environment. In addition, the Remedial Action Plan 
streamlines the permitting process for remediation waste management 
sites to allow cleanups to take place more quickly.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are the private sector, as well as State, Local, or Tribal 
governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA Sec.  3004(u)).
    Estimated number of respondents: 215.
    Frequency of response: One-time.
    Total estimated burden: 6,953 hours per year. Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $431,798 (per year), includes $392,442 
annualized labor and $39,356 annualized capital or operation & 
maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay 
substantially the same.
