Subsections 3004(a)(1), (3), (4), (5), and
(6)specify that these standards include, but not be limited to, the following requirements: • Maintaining records of all hazardous wastes identified or listed under subtitle C that are treated, stored, or disposed of, and the manner in which such wastes were treated, stored, or disposed of; • Operating methods, techniques, and practices for treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste; • Location, design, and construction of such hazardous waste treatment, disposal, or storage facilities; • Contingency plans for effective action to minimize unanticipated damage from any treatment, storage, or disposal of any such hazardous waste; and • Maintaining or operating such facilities and requiring such additional qualifications as to ownership, continuity of operation, training for personnel, and financial responsibility as may be necessary or desirable. The regulations implementing these requirements are codified in 40 CFR parts 264 and 265. The collection of this information enables the EPA to properly determine whether owners/operators or hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities meet the requirements of Section 3004(a) of RCRA. *Form Numbers:* None. *Respondents/affected entities:* Hazardous Waste Operators, State/Local/Tribal governments. *Respondent's obligation to respond:* Mandatory (RCRA section 3004). *Estimated number of respondents:* 1,872. *Frequency of response:* On occasion. *Total estimated burden:* 672,417 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). *Total estimated cost:* $41,759,144 (per year), includes $533,525 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. *Changes in the Estimates:* There is no change in hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB.
