The Agency has decided to add hazardous waste lamps to the existing universal waste regulations at 40 CFR part 273. The final hazardous waste lamps rule requires generators of these lamps to follow procedures for maintaining the condition of lamps (e.g., proper packaging), storing lamps (e.g., accumulation time limits, labeling), notifying EPA as specified, and responding to releases. The attached ICR is a comprehensive description of the information collection requirements for handlers of hazardous waste lamps under the universal waste requirements.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
