    Abstract: Section 7004(b) of 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 parts 124 
and 270.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Businesses and other for-profit.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA 7004(b)).
    Estimated number of respondents: 47.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 4,474 hours per year. Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $336,413 (per year), includes $4,863 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 99 hours between 
this ICR and the current one.

    This slight increase is due to a slight increase in the respondent 
universe.
