Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing amendments to the Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials regulation under RCRA. This action proposes to add three materials to the list of categorical non-waste fuels: Construction and demolition (C&D) wood processed from C&D debris according to best management practices; Paper recycling residuals, including OCC rejects; and creosote treated railroad ties that are processed and combusted in units designed to burn both biomass and fuel oil.

Short Statement: Posting a 30 day FR notice as requested by OMB. As described in this ICR, the EPA expects that the rule, as proposed, will result in an increase of 885 annual burden hours to selected entities. This increase in burden reflects the specific paperwork requirement indirectly established in association with the C&D wood processor certification statement. The Agency has determined that this requirement is necessary for informed assessments of the waste status of certain secondary materials, and to ensure that non-hazardous secondary materials are managed in a manner that is consistent with their status as a waste or non-waste.
