SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: RCRA Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification, 
Part A, OMB No. 2050-0034, EPA ICR No. 0262.10, expiring October 31, 
2002. This is a request for extension of a currently approved 
collection.
    Abstract: Section 3010 of Subtitle C of RCRA, as amended, requires 
any person who generates or transports regulated waste or who owns or 
operates a facility for the treatment, storage, or disposal (TSDF) of 
regulated waste to notify EPA of their activities, including the 
location and general description of activities and the regulated wastes 
managed. Section 3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires TSDFs to obtain a 
permit. To obtain the permit, the TSDF must submit an application 
describing the facility's operation. There are two parts to the RCRA 
permit application--Part A and Part B. Part A defines the processes to 
be used for treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes: the 
design capacity of such processes: and the specific hazardous wastes to 
be handled at the facility. Part B requires detailed site specific 
information such as geologic, hydrologic, and engineering data.
    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 May 9, 2002 
(67 FR 31300). No comments were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 25 
hours per response for an initial Part A Application and 13 hours per 
response for a revised Part A application. 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.

Local or Tribal Government.
