The Commission is now requesting that OMB approve with a three-year extension of the expiration date, with no changes to the existing collection. The information filed with the Commission is mandatory. 4. *Necessity of the Collection of Information:* Submission of the information is necessary to enable the Commission to carry out its responsibilities in implementing the statutory provisions of the Department of Energy Organization Act, and Executive Order No. 12009, 42 FR 46277 (September 13, 1977). The Commission has authority over interstate pipelines as stated in the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C. § 6501 *et al.* As part of the information necessary for the subsequent investigation and review of an oil pipeline company's proposed depreciation rates, the pipeline companies are required to provide public service life data as part of their data submission if the proposed depreciation rates are based on the remaining physical life calculations. This service life data is submitted on FERC Form 73. The scope of the Commission's jurisdiction over oil pipelines includes the authority to regulate their rates and charges for transportation of oil in interstate commerce, and the authority to establish valuations. Oil pipeline companies are required to submit depreciation information pursuant to 1-8(b)(2) and 1-8(b)(3) of the General Instructions found at 18 CFR Part 352 of the Commission's regulations. These instructions require oil pipeline carriers to compute percentage rate studies for their depreciable property accounts, and to maintain records as to the service life and net salvage value of their property and property retirements. The Commission uses the information submitted on FERC Form 73 to conduct depreciation rate investigations of oil pipelines. The Commission also uses the information to determine appropriate oil pipeline service lives and book depreciation rates. Oil pipeline companies use book depreciation rates to compute the depreciation portion of their operating expenses when determining their cost of service. The Commission implements these requirements in 18 CFR 357.3 of its regulations. 5. *Respondent Description:* The respondent universe currently comprises 2 companies (on average per year) subject to the Commission's jurisdiction 6. *Estimated Burden:* 80 total hours, 2 respondents (average per year), 1 response per respondent, and 40 hours per response (average). 7. *Estimated Cost Burden to respondents:* 80 hours/2080 hours per years × $108,558 per year = $4,176. Statutory Authority: Sections 306 and 402 of the Department of Energy Organization Act, Pub. L. 95-91, 42 sections 7155 and 7172, Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C. 6501 *et al.* , and Executive Order No. 12009. Magalie R. Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc.

The entire printed comment, including the copyrighted material, will be available in the public docket. Although identified as an item in the official docket, information claimed as CBI, or whose disclosure is otherwise restricted by statute, is not included in the official public docket, and will not be available for public viewing in EDOCKET. For further information about the electronic docket, see EPA's **Federal Register** notice describing the electronic docket at 67 FR 38102 (May 31, 2002), or go to *http://www.epa.gov/edocket.* *Affected entities:* Entities potentially affected by this action are those which generate, treat and store hazardous waste. Examples include hazardous waste incinerators, boilers, cement kilns and lightweight aggregate kilns that burn hazardous waste. *Title:* RCRA Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Boilers and Industrial Furnaces Burning Hazardous Waste. *Abstract:* EPA regulates the burning of hazardous waste by several source categories of hazardous waste combustors under 40 CFR parts 63, 261, 264 thru 266 and part 270. The standards to control emissions of hazardous air pollutants from boilers and industrial furnaces were promulgated under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

(RCRA)on February 21, 1991 ( *see* 56 FR 7208) and are codified in 40 CFR parts 266 and 270. The general facility and comparable/syngas fuel standards, and financial requirements are covered in 40 CFR parts 261, 264 and 265. Revised standards to control emissions of hazardous air pollutants from incinerators, cement kilns and lightweight aggregate kilns that burn hazardous wastes were promulgated on September 30, 1999, under the joint authority of RCRA and Clean Air Act (CAA). *See* 64 FR 52828. The EPA ICR #1773.06 relating to the CAA provisions (codified in 40 CFR part 63) has been published separately under OMB Control #2050-0171. The EPA ICR #1361.09 pertaining to RCRA provisions of the rule was approved under OMB Control #2050-0073, expires on December 31, 2005, and is being renewed now under this action. The emission standards of the September 30, 1999 rule created maximum achievable control technology

(MACT)based standards for hazardous air pollutant emissions under CAA, assuring that combustion of hazardous waste in these devices is properly controlled, while the RCRA provisions satisfied EPA's mandate to ensure that hazardous waste combustion is conducted in a manner protective of human health and the environment. Thus, we have consolidated regulatory control of hazardous waste combustion into a single set of regulations, thereby minimizing the potential for conflicting or duplicate federal requirements and burden on the regulated community. The information collection required under this ICR is mandatory for the regulated sources, as it is essential to properly enforce the emission limitation requirements of the rule and will be used to further the proper performance of the functions of EPA. EPA believes that if the minimum requirements specified under the regulations are not met, EPA will not fulfill its Congressional mandate to protect public health and the environment. EPA, however, has made extensive efforts to integrate the monitoring, compliance testing and recordkeeping requirements of the CAA and RCRA, so that the facilities are able to avoid the burden of duplicate and unnecessary submissions. We also ensure, to the fullest extent by law, the confidentiality of the submitted information. EPA may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. The EPA would like to solicit comments to:

(i)Evaluate whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

(ii)Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burdens for reporting and recordkeeping requirements of the proposed collections of information;

(iii)Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and,

(iv)Minimize the burden of the collections of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated or electronic collection technologies or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. *Burden Statement:* The total average annual hourly burden for this ICR is estimated to be 307,949 hours for 1969 responses, which is roughly 156 hours per response. The total annual cost of this ICR is estimated to be $26,353,000, which represents $8,548,000 for capital/startup costs, and $17,805,000 for operation and maintenance costs. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Dated: April 14, 2005. Maria Parisi Vickers, Acting Director, Office of Solid Waste. [FR Doc. 05-8021 Filed 4-20-05; 8:45 am]
