    Abstract: Section 7004(b) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA) gives EPA broad authority to provide for, encourage and 
assist public participation in the development, revision, 
implementation and enforcement of any regulation, guideline, 
information or program under RCRA. In addition, the statute specifies 
certain public notices (i.e., radio, newspaper, and a letter to 
relevant agencies) that EPA must provide before issuing any RCRA 
permit. The statute also establishes a process by which the public can 
dispute a permit and request a public hearing to discuss it. EPA 
carries out much of its RCRA public involvement at 40 CFR 124 and 40 
CFR 270.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Private facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA 7004(b)).
    Estimated number of respondents: 59.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 5,614 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $369,547 (per year), includes $5,681 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is increase of 2,609 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is due to the adjustment in the 
respondent universe from 33 to 59.
