    Title: Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste Disposal 
Facilities and Practices (Renewal)
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1745.06, OMB Control No. 2050-0154.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
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 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) to 
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, mandated 
that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revise the Criteria 
for Solid Waste Disposal Facilities that may receive household 
hazardous wastes and conditionally exempt small quantity generator 
(CESQG) wastes. In order to effectively implement and enforce these 
regulations (found at 40 CFR part 257, subpart B) on a State level, 
owners/operators of construction and demolition waste landfills that 
receive CESQG hazardous wastes have to comply with reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements. This ICR documents the ongoing 
recordkeeping and reporting burdens associated with the location and 
ground-water

monitoring provisions contained in 40 CFR part 257, subpart B.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 74 
hours per response. 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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 152.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,219.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost (in thousands of dollars): $2,014,382, 
which includes $1,577,659 annualized capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 2,362 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to the reduction in the 
total number of Construction & Demolition landfills.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
