SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Land Disposal Restrictions No-Migration Variances, OMB
Control Number 2050-0062, EPA ICR No. 1353.06, expiring August 31,
2000. This is a request for extension of a currently approved
collection.
Abstract: To receive a variance from the hazardous waste land
disposal prohibitions, owner/operators of hazardous waste storage or
disposal facilities may petition the Environmental Protection Agency to
allow land disposal of a specific restricted waste at a specific site.
The EPA Regional Offices will review the petitions and determine if
they successfully demonstrate ``no migration.'' The applicant must
demonstrate that hazardous wastes can be managed safely in a particular
land disposal unit, so that ``no migration'' of any hazardous
constituents occurs from the unit for as long as the waste remains
hazardous. If EPA grants the variance, the waste is no longer
prohibited from land disposal in that particular unit. If the owner/
operator fails to make this demonstration, or chooses not to petition
for the variance, best demonstrated available technology (BDAT)
requirements of 40 CFR 268.40 must be met before the hazardous wastes
are placed in a land disposal unit.
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 numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The
Federal Register document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting
comments on this collection of information was published on February
22, 2000 (65 FR 8699); no comments were received.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3,137
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, processing 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
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: 1.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
Frequency of Response: once every three years.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,137 hours.
Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: $72.
