Abstract: Section 7004(b) of RCRA gives EPA broad authority to provide for, encourage, and assist public participation in the development, revision, implementation, and enforcement of any regulation, guideline, information, or program under RCRA. In addition, the statute specifies certain public notices ( i.e., radio, newspaper, and a letter to relevant agencies) that EPA must provide before issuing any RCRA permit. The statute also establishes a process by which the public can dispute a permit and request a public hearing to discuss it. EPA carries out much of its RCRA public involvement at 40 CFR parts 124 and 270.

Form Numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Businesses and other for-profit.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (RCRA 7004(b)).

Estimated number of respondents: 47.

Frequency of response: On occasion.

Total estimated burden: 4,474 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $336,413 (per year), includes $4,863 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.


[top] Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 99 hours between this ICR and the current one. page 16728

This slight increase is due to a slight increase in the respondent universe.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
