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.
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.
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.
