SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Used Oil Management Standards Recordkeeping and Reporting 
Requirements, ICR No. 1286.04, OMB No. 2050-0124, expires 3/31/99. This 
is a request for reinstatement of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Under statutory authority found in section 3014 of RCRA, 
EPA established mandatory regulations (See 40 CFR Part 279) that 
control the storage of used oil in aboveground tanks and containers to 
minimize potential releases from these units. It establishes 
notification and testing requirements, and tracking and recordkeeping 
requirements for used oil transporters, processors, re-refiners, and 
burners to document the movement of used oil. It also sets standards 
for the prevention and cleanup of releases to the environment during 
storage and transit and for the safe closure of storage units and 
processing and re-refining facilities to mitigate future releases and 
damages. EPA believes these requirements mitigate potential hazards to 
human health and the environment from the potential mismanagement of 
used oils by used oil handlers, while providing for the recycling of 
used oil. This information will be used to ensure compliance with the 
Used Oil Management Standards.
