Abstract: This information collection will provide the EPA with necessary information about the operations of drum reconditioners and similar facilities that clean out and recondition used industrial containers. The Agency needs this information to determine whether future regulatory or non-regulatory action is needed to address environmental issues identified in the EPA's Drum Reconditioner Damage Case Report, published in September 2022. The data collected through this ICR will advance the Agency's mission of protecting human health and the environment by determining the current engineering controls and standard practices employed at these facilities, and by collecting additional information about the environmental impacts these facilities may have on surrounding communities and the wider environment. All information submitted to the agency in response to the ICR that is claimed as confidential will be managed in accordance with applicable laws and EPA's regulations governing treatment of confidential business information at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. Any information determined to constitute a trade secret will be protected under 18 U.S.C. 1905.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: This ICR applies to all facilities engaged in drum and/or industrial container reconditioning and/or recycling.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under section 3007 of RCRA (42 U.S.C. 6927).
Estimated number of respondents: 216 (total).
Frequency of response: One-time response.
Total estimated burden: 1,333 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $136,000 (per year), which includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: Not applicable; this is a new ICR, so there is no previous burden.
