SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Identification, Listing and Rulemaking Petitions (OMB 
Control No. 2050-0053; EPA ICR No.1189.09) expiring September 30, 2001. 
This is a request for extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: This ICR provides a discussion of all the information 
collection requirements associated with developing and reviewing 
rulemaking petitions, solid waste and boiler variances, hazardous waste 
exclusions, and hazardous waste listing exemptions under 40 CFR parts 
260 and 261. It includes a detailed description of data items and 
respondent activities associated with each activity. 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 April 3, 2001 (66 FR 17702); 
no comments were submitted.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and record keeping 
burden for this collection of information varies depending on the type 
of petition or demonstration. For example, it is estimated that the 
average reporting burden per respondent ranges from less than 1 hour 
(equipment cleaning and replacement) to 748 hours (preparation of a 
delisting petition). The average recordkeeping burden per respondent 
ranges from 63 hours (equipment cleaning and replacement) to 2 hours 
(delisting petition). 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: Business or other for Profit 
Institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 126.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 20,802 hours.
    Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: $886,315.
    Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the 
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods 
for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques to the addresses listed above. Please 
refer to EPA ICR No. 1189.09 and OMB Control No. 2050-0053 in any
