    Abstract: Under the authority of sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010 
of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, EPA 
revised the RCRA hazardous waste permitting program to allow a 
``standardized permit.'' The standardized permit is available to 
facilities that generate hazardous waste and routinely manage the waste 
on-site in non-thermal units such as tanks, containers, and containment 
buildings. In addition, the standardized permit is available to 
facilities that receive hazardous waste generated off-site by a 
generator under the same ownership as the receiving facility, and then 
store or non-thermally treat the hazardous waste in containers, tanks, 
or containment buildings. The RCRA standardized permit consists of two 
components: A uniform portion that is included in all cases, and a 
supplemental portion that the Director of a regulatory agency includes 
at his or her discretion. The uniform portion consists of terms and 
conditions, relevant to the unit(s) at the permitted facility, and is 
established on a national basis. The Director, at his or her 
discretion, may also issue a supplemental portion on a case-by-case 
basis. The supplemental portion imposes site-specific permit terms and 
conditions that the Director determines necessary to institute 
corrective action under section 264.101 (or state equivalent), or 
otherwise necessary to protect human health and the environment. Owners 
and operators have to comply with the terms and conditions in the 
supplemental portion, in addition to those in the uniform portion.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are business or other for-profit.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary (40 CFR 270.275).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1.
    Frequency of response: One time.
    Total estimated burden: 218 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,612 (per year), includes $525 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 13,730 hours for 
this renewal. This decrease is based on the decrease from the estimated 
number of respondents from 86 to 1. In the 13 years since the 
Standardized Permit Rule was finalized, there has only been one such 
permit issued.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
