SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Requirements for Generators, Transporters, and Waste 
Management Facilities Under the RCRA Hazardous Waste Manifest System 
(EPA No. 0801.10; OMB No. 2050-0039). This ICR is a renewal of an 
existing information collection.
    Abstract: Under Section 3002(a)(5) of the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA has established a hazardous waste manifesting 
system to assure that hazardous waste is designated for and arrives at 
a treatment, storage or disposal facility (TSDF) permitted under RCRA 
Subtitle C. The information collected in this system includes the 
completion, submission, and recordkeeping of the manifest itself, 
completion and submission of discrepancy and exception reports, 
notification of hazardous waste discharges in the event of an accident, 
and primary exporter manifest requirements. This information will be 
collected from large quantity and small quantity generators of 
hazardous waste, hazardous waste transporters, and owner/operators of 
treatment, storage and disposal facilities.
    The information will be used to: (1) Provide notice to hazardous 
waste transporters and waste management facility workers on the risks 
posed by the wastes being handled; (2) track shipments from generator 
to facility; (3) assist emergency response personnel in determining 
appropriate responses to accidents; and (4) complement facility 
inspections to determine compliance.
    Burden Statement: The public reporting burden for this collection 
of information is estimated to average 46 minutes to 1.3 hours per 
hazardous waste shipment for generators, 16 minutes to 1.8 hours per 
shipment for transporters, and 17 minutes to 6.5 hours per shipment for 
TSDFs. This estimate includes all aspects of the information collection 
including time for reviewing instructions, gathering the data needed, 
reviewing the collection of information, and submitting the 
information.
    Respondents: Generators, Transporters and Handlers of Hazardous 
Waste.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 223,173.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 434,944.
    Frequency of Collection: As needed.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of 
this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden, to:
