    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the 
General Provisions (40 CFR part 264, subpart A and 40 CFR 265, Subpart 
A), as well as for the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 264, 
Subpart CC and 40 CFR part 265, Subpart CC. This includes submitting 
initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and 
results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and duration of any 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with 
these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that treat, store, or 
dispose of hazardous wastes in tanks, surface impoundments, and 
containers.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 264, 
subpart CC and 40 CFR part 265, subpart CC).
    Estimated number of respondents: 6,760 (total).
    Frequency of response: Occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 775,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $105,000,000 (per year), which includes 
$13,500,000 in annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes; the 
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not 
anticipated to change over the next three years. The Agency estimate of 
the number of respondents has increased and there is an attendant 
increase in the cost of monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting. The 
increase in the estimated number of respondents is due to a re-
examination of the Agency's ECHO database of sources subject to 
hazardous waste and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 
requirements.
