    Abstract: 40 CFR part 257--subpart B, as required under the 1984 
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to RCRA, established 
specific Criteria and reporting and recordkeeping provisions for owners 
and operators of non-municipal non-hazardous waste disposal units that 
receive CESQG hazardous wastes. The information collected, as a result 
of this rule, is used by States to regulate and ensure that non-
municipal non-hazardous waste disposal units that receive CESQG 
hazardous wastes are complying with the final revisions contained in 
this rule. The information needs to be collected to ensure that States 
effectively implement and enforce this rule on a State level. The 
information to be collected is mandatory and must be submitted on an 
occasional basis. 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. The OMB control number 
for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 
15. The Federal Register Notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
March 15, 1999 (64 FR 12803). No comments were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 67 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, precessing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review 
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
