This ICR is approved persuant to 5 CFR 1320. The RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form was previously submitted as part of an ICR renewal package for the Hazardous Waste (Biennial) Report collection (OMB No. 2050-0024). As such, it was published for public comment in the Federal Register with that package and described in the supporting statement for the Biennial Report. EPA plans to submit a separate supporting statement that focuses on the Site Identification Form, within the next three months. When EPA submits this ICR for renewal, the Agency must evaluate, after consulting with respondents, the burden estimates for this collection. EPA should consider the availability of data, the frequency of collection, the clarity of instructions, and reporting format.

Basic information about a site generating or treating, storing and or disposing of hazardous waste was collected on three different forms, each with its own instructions and definitions. This sometimes gave regulators conflicting information about the same site and was burdensome for the regulated community. These three forms are the: Hazardous Waste (Biennial) Report Informa- tion and Certification form, the Notification of Regulalted Waste Activity form, and the RCRA Part A Permit Application form.
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.
