Land Disposal Restrictions,
Supplemental Proposal to Phase IV: Clarification of Bevill
Exclusion for Mining Wastes; Changes to the Definition of Solid
Waste for Mineral Processing Wastes....
This ICR is not
approved at this time for the following reasons: 1) EPA has not
demonstrated that the proposed collection of information reduces to
the extent practicable and appropriate the burden on affected
persons (5 CFR 1320.9(c)). For example, EPA would require the
retention of ALL records pertaining to data supporting a
determination of whether a waste is restricted, as opposed to some
summary or subset of the information. 2) The agency has not
analyzed or accounted for the burden associated with the
requirement of 40 CFR 261.4(b)(7) that the "owner or operator must
be able to document that the co- processing of hazardous secondary
materials does not significant- ly affect the residues..." etc. 3)
No accounting was given of the cost burden, even though some
testing equipment would seem necessary. (5 CFR 1320.3(b)) 4) We
would also note that this ICR was submitted to OMB after the date
of publication of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in
contravention of 5 CFR 1320.11(b). In its final rulemaking EPA
should address these comments as well as any comments received from
the public during the extended comment period and should clearly
demonstrate both the practical utility of this information
collection and its use of the least burdensome methods available as
required by 5 CFR 1320.
