    Abstract: Section 3005 of Subtitle C of RCRA requires treatment, 
storage or disposal facilities (TSDFs) to obtain a permit. To obtain 
the permit, the TSDFs 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

[[Page 23052]]

B requires detailed site-specific information such as geologic, 
hydrologic, and engineering data. In the event that permit 
modifications are proposed by the applicant or the EPA, modifications 
must conform to the requirements under Sections 3004 and 3005. This ICR 
provides a comprehensive discussion of the requirements for owner/
operators of TSDFs submitting applications for a Part B permit or 
permit modification.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Private sector and State, Local, or 
Tribal governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA Section 3005).
    Estimated number of respondents: 159.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 20,086 hours per year. Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $7,008,865 (per year), which includes 
$5,697,625 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease of 4,840 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to the smaller number of affected 
facilities, based on the current information and reporting requirements 
from the RCRAInfo database.
