AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 67951]]


EFFECTIVE DATE: December 26, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Paul Cassidy of the Industrial and Extractive Waste Branch, Office of 
Solid Waste at (703) 308-7281.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is today amending the table of currently 
approved information collection request (ICR) control numbers issued by 
OMB for various regulations. Today's amendment updates the table to 
accurately display those information requirements promulgated under the 
Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste Disposal Facilities and 
Practices which appeared in the Federal Register on July 1, 1996 (61 FR 
34252). The affected regulations are codified at 40 CFR Part 257--
Subpart B. EPA will continue to present OMB control numbers in a 
consolidated table format to be codified in 40 CFR part 9 of the 
Agency's regulations, and in each CFR volume containing EPA 
regulations. The table lists the section numbers with reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements, and the current OMB control numbers. This 
display of the OMB control number(s) and its(their) subsequent 
codification in the Code of Federal Regulations satisfies the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) 
and OMB's implementing regulations at 5 CFR 1320.
    This ICR was previously subject to public notice and comment prior 
to OMB approval. As a result, EPA finds that there is ``good cause'' 
under section 553(b)(B) and (d)(3) of the Administrative Procedure Act 
(5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and (d)(3)) to amend this table without further 
notice and comment. Due to the technical nature of the table, further 
notice and comment would be unnecessary.
