Register on March 21, 2018 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.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before September 13, 
2018.

    Abstract: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 
1976, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 
1984, 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. Section 7004(b) of RCRA gives EPA broad 
authority to provide for, encourage, and assist public participation in 
the development, revision, implementation, and enforcement of any 
regulation, guideline, information, or program under RCRA. In addition, 
the statute

[[Page 40276]]

specifies certain public notices (i.e., radio, newspaper, and a letter 
to relevant agencies) that EPA must provide before issuing any RCRA 
permit. The statute also establishes a process by which the public can 
dispute a permit and request a public hearing to discuss it. EPA 
carries out much of its RCRA public involvement at 40 CFR parts 124 and 
270.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Businesses and other for-profit.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA 7004(b)).
    Estimated number of respondents: 46.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 4,375 hours per year. Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $326,263 (per year), which includes $321,833 
annualized labor and $4,430 annualized capital and operation & 
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease in overall burden for 
the ICR of 1,239 hours in the total estimated respondent burden 
compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due 
to the decrease in the respondent universe from 59 to 46.

Courtney Kerwin,
Director, Regulatory Support Division.
