Agency Information Collection Activities Under OMB Review
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request
(ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR describes the nature
of the information collection and its expected cost and burden.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before February 28, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY OF THE ICR CONTACT: Sandy Farmer at
EPA, (202) 260-2740.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response
Title: Land Disposal Restrictions No-Migration Variances. (EPA No.
1353.04; OMB No. 2050-0062). This ICR is a renewal of an approved
collection.
Abstract: Section 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984,
prohibits land disposal of hazardous wastes beyond specified dates
unless the owner/operator of a hazardous waste storage or disposal
facility demonstrates to the Administrator of EPA that there will be no
migration of hazardous constituents from the land disposal unit for as
long as the waste remains hazardous. The regulated community can
petition for a variance from statutory prohibitions or treatment
requirements promulgated under section 3004, to continue land disposal
of specific hazardous wastes at specific facilities. The requirements
for obtaining these variances and the associated costs are discussed in
detail in the ICR.
The Permits and State Programs Division, Office of Solid Waste,
will review the petitions and determine if they successfully
demonstrate no migration. Granting of a variance will be based upon
successful demonstration that hazardous wastes can be managed safely in
a particular land disposal unit, so that no migration of any hazardous
constituents occurs from the unit for as long as the waste remains
hazardous. The statutory requirement for an application by an
interested person is intended to place the burden on the applicant to
prove that a specified waste can be contained safely in a particular
type of disposal unit.
Burden statement: The respondent burden for the no-migration
petition is estimated to be 9,240 hours for each facility planning to
request a variance.
Respondents: Owners/Operators of Hazardous Waste Storage or
Disposal Facilities.
Estimated number of respondents: 2.
Estimated number of responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 18,492 hours.
Frequency of collection: As needed.

of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing
the burden, to:
