    Abstract: EPA regulates the burning of hazardous waste in boilers, 
incinerators, and industrial furnaces (BIFs) under 40 CFR parts 63, 
264, 265, 266 and 270. This ICR describes the paperwork requirements 
that apply to the owners and operators of BIFs. This includes the 
general facility requirements at 40 CFR parts 264 and 265, subparts B 
thru H; the requirements applicable to BIF units at 40 CFR part 266; 
and the RCRA Part B permit application and modification requirements at 
40 CFR part 270.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Business or other for-profit.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (per 40 CFR 264, 265, 
and 270).
    Estimated number of respondents: 105.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 271,358 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $37,253,148 (per year), includes $19,660,605 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 20,399 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to an adjustment based on a 
reduction in the universe size.
