response number, labor rates, and capital costs and ensure these estimates have been updated.

EPA is amending the list of hazardous wastes from non-specific sources under 40 CFR 261.31 by modifying the scope of EPA Hazardous Waste No. F019, which currently reads: "Wastewater treatment sludges from the chemical conversion coating of aluminum except from zirconium phosphating in aluminum can washing when such phosphating is an exclusive conversion coating process." EPA is amending the F019 listing to exclude wastewater treatment sludges generated from zinc phosphating, when zinc phosphating is used in the motor vehicle manufacturing process, provided that the wastes are not placed outside on the land prior to shipment to a landfill for disposal, and the wastes are disposed in a landfill unit that meets certain liner design requirements. In addition, EPA is requiring the generators of these wastes to keep records showing that their wastes were disposed in a landfill that meets the specified liner design requirements.
US Code:
42 USC 6921-6924
Name of Law: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976
EPA is amending the F019 listing to exempt wastewater treatment sludges generated from zinc phosphating, when zinc phosphating is used in the motor vehicle manufacturing process, provided that the wastes are not placed outside on the land prior to shipment to a landfill for disposal, and the wastes are disposed in a landfill unit that meets certain liner design requirements. The increase in burden would result from the need for F019 sludge generators and potential generators to read the rule that amends the F019 listing. In addition, the generators would also be required to maintain documentation and information sufficient to prove that the wastewater treatment sludges to be exempted from the F019 listing meet the conditions of the listing. The total increase in new annual paperwork requirements in the final rule is approximately 35 hours. However, in addition to the new paperwork requirements for respondents, the final rule would result in annual respondent burden savings under the existing paperwork requirements (associated with two existing EPA ICRs) of approximately 480 hours. Taking both the new and existing RCRA requirements into account, the final rule would result in a net reduction in annual paperwork burden of approximately 440 hours.
