SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to
submit the information collection request (ICR), Requirements and
Exemptions for Specific RCRA Wastes (Renewal) (EPA ICR No. 1597.14, OMB
Control No. 2050-0145) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA). Before doing so, the EPA is soliciting public comments on
specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described in
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. This is a proposed extension of the ICR,
which is currently approved through March 31, 2023. An Agency 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 13, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OLEM-2018-0392, at https://www.regulations.gov (our preferred method),
or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail
Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460.
    Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed from the
docket. The EPA may publish any comment received to its public docket.
Do not submit to EPA's docket at https://www.regulations.gov any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov. Materials can also be viewed at the Reading Room
located at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West Building, Room 3334, 1301
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20004. The Docket Center's hours
of operations are 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday (except Federal
Holidays). The telephone number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is 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 estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. The
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal
Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: In 1995, EPA promulgated regulations at 40 CFR part 273
that govern the collection and management of widely-generated hazardous
wastes known as ``Universal Wastes''. Universal Wastes are generated in
a variety of non-industrial settings, and are present in non-hazardous
waste management systems. Examples of Universal Wastes include certain
batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing lamps and thermostats. The
Part 273 regulations are designed to ensure facilities collect these
wastes and properly manage them in an appropriate hazardous waste
management system. EPA needs to collect notifications of Universal
Waste management to obtain general information on these handlers and to
facilitate enforcement of the Part 273 regulations. EPA promulgated
labeling and marking requirements and accumulation time limits to
ensure that Universal Waste is being accumulated responsibly. EPA needs
to collect information on illegal Universal Waste shipments to enforce
compliance with applicable regulations. Finally, EPA requires tracking
of Universal Waste shipments to help ensure that Universal Waste is
being properly treated, recycled, or disposed.
    In 2001, EPA promulgated regulations in 40 CFR part 266 that
provide increased flexibility to facilities managing wastes commonly
known as ``Mixed Waste.'' Mixed Wastes are low-level mixed waste (LLMW)
and naturally occurring and/or accelerator-produced radioactive
material (NARM) containing hazardous waste. These wastes are also
regulated by the Atomic Energy Act. As long as specified eligibility
criteria and conditions are met, LLMW and NARM are exempt from the
definition of hazardous waste as defined in Part 261. Although these
wastes are exempt from RCRA manifest, transportation, and disposal
requirements, facilities must still comply with the manifest,
transportation, and disposal requirements under the NRC (or NRC-
Agreement State) regulations. Section 266.345(a) requires that
generators or treaters notify EPA or the Authorized State that they are
claiming the Transportation and Disposal Conditional Exemption prior to
the initial shipment of a waste to a LLRW disposal facility. This
exemption notice provides a tool for RCRA program regulatory agencies
to become aware of the generator's exemption claims. The information
contained in the notification package provides the RCRA program
regulatory agencies with a general understanding of the claimant. This
information also allows the agencies to document the generator's
exemption status and to plan inspections and review exemption-related
records.
    And finally, in 1992, EPA finalized management standards for used
oils destined for recycling. The Agency

codified the used oil management standards at 40 CFR part 279. The
regulations at 40 CFR part 279 establish, among other things,
streamlined procedures for notification, testing, labeling, and
recordkeeping. They also establish a flexible self-implementing
approach for tracking off-site shipments that allow used oil handlers
to use standard business practices (e.g., invoices, bill of lading). In
addition, part 279 sets standards for the prevention and cleanup of
releases to the environment during storage and transit. EPA believes
these requirements will minimize potential mismanagement of used oils,
while not discouraging recycling. Used oil transporters must comply
with all applicable packaging, labeling, and placarding requirements of
49 CFR parts 173, 178, and 179. In addition, used oil transporters must
report discharges of used oil according to existing 49 CFR part 171 and
33 CFR part 153 requirements.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Private Sector and State, Local, or
Tribal Governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: mandatory (40 CFR part 273),
required to obtain or retain a benefit (40 CFR parts 266 and 279).
    Estimated number of respondents: 134,230.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 795,350. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $68,980,149, which includes $54,819,084
annualized labor costs and $14,161,065 annualized capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in Estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay
substantially the same.

    Dated: July 11, 2022.

Director, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery.

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of
TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the
chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from December 1, 2007 thru December 31, 2007 consists of the
PMNs pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture
a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.

DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before March 21, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2007-0087, by one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action
applies directly to the submitter of the premanufacture notices
addressed in the action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM
that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and
then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific
information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version
of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the
comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be
submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,

MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: 	Technical Support Document (TSD) for Approval of a Missouri State Implementation Plan Revision relating to Construction Permits By Rule

FROM: 		Steven Brown
                  ARD/APPB/APS

TO: 			EPA-R07-OAR-2023-0197; MO-465

THROUGH:  	Amy Algoe-Eakin, Branch Supervisor
                  ARD/APPB

SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP) received from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) as a SIP revision submission on August 3, 2022.

The proposed revisions are to the existing rule, Title 10, Division 10 of the Code of State Regulations, 10 CSR 10-6.062 Construction Permits By Rule. The purpose of this state regulation is to create a process by which certain sources can be exempt from 10 CSR 10-6.060 Construction Permits Required if they meet certain criteria.

The rule was originally SIP approved in 40 CFR § 52.1320(c) on July 2, 2021 (86 FR 29517) when the EPA did a partial approval and did not approve a portion of the rule revision that allowed the burning of illegal and waste pharmaceutical drugs in crematories and animal incinerators. In this submittal, MoDNR removes that provision of the rule that EPA did not act on. These revisions for Missouri rule 10 CSR 10-6.062 also correct typographical errors and make a minor change to correct a reference made to another state rule, 10 CSR 10-6.060.

RULE REVISIONS:
Below is EPA's description of the changes made to each rule section and the text of the revised rule.
Revisions that are additions to MoDNR's existing approved SIP rule text are bold. Revisions that are deletions to the existing approved SIP rule text are stricken through. The rule text with changes is listed first and is followed by a summary of the EPA's review of the changes.

10 CSR 10-6.062 Construction Permits By Rule

(1) Applicability. This rule applies to certain types of
facilities or changes within facilities listed in this rule
where construction is commenced on or after the effective date
of the relevant permit-by-rule. To qualify for a permit-by-rule,
the following general requirements must be met:

(A) Any installation undergoing activities that would otherwise
be subject to section (7), (8), or (9) of 10 CSR 10-6.060 does
not qualify for permit-by-rule under this regulation.
Installations accepting the permit-by-rule emission limitations
can use those limitations to determine whether the installation
is subject to section (7), (8), or (9) of 10 CSR 10-6.060;

(B) The installation is not prohibited from permit-by-rule by
permit conditions, by settlement agreements or by official
notification from the director;

(C) All emission control equipment associated with the permit-by-
rule shall be maintained and operated in accordance with the
equipment specifications of the manufacturer;

(D) Obtaining a permit-by-rule under this regulation does not
exempt an installation from other applicable air pollution
regulations or any local air pollution control agency
requirements; and

(E) The director may require an air quality analysis in
addition to the general requirements listed in subsection (3)(B)
of this rule if it is likely that the emissions of the proposed
construction or modification will appreciably affect air quality
or the air quality standards are being appreciably exceeded or
complaints filed in the vicinity of the proposed construction or
modification warrant an air quality analysis. The permit-by-rule
may be revoked if it is determined that emissions from the
source interfere with the attainment or maintenance of ambient
air quality standards.

(3) General Provisions.

(A) Registration. To qualify for a permit-by-rule, the owner or
operator must notify the Missouri Department of Natural
Resources' Air Pollution Control Program prior to commencement
of construction. This notification will establish the permit-by-rule and become the conditions under which the facility is permitted. All representations made in the notification
regarding construction plans, operating procedures, and maximum
emission rates shall become conditions upon which the facility
shall construct or modify. If the conditions, as represented in
the notification, vary in a manner that will change the method
of emission controls, the character of the emissions, or will
result in an increase of emissions, a new notification or permit
application must be prepared and submitted to the department's
Air Pollution Control Program.

      1. The director shall provide a form by which operators
can submit their notifications. The notification shall include
documentation of the basis of emission estimates or activity
rates and be signed by a responsible official certifying that
the information contained in the notification is true, accurate,
and complete. The expected first date of operation shall be
included in the notification.

      2. The notification shall be sent to the department's Air
Pollution Control Program. Two (2) copies of the original
notification shall be made. One (1) shall be sent to the
appropriate regional office, and one (1) shall be maintained onsite
and be provided immediately upon request by inspectors.

      3. Fees. A review fee of seven hundred dollars ($700)
shall accompany the notification sent to the department's Air
Pollution Control Program.

      4. Upon receiving the notification, the department shall
complete a pre-construction review of the notification and make
an approval/disapproval determination within seven (7) business
days. If the notification is approved by the department, the
operator may begin construction and operation of the new source.

maintenance of ambient air quality standards.

      2. Upon revocation of a permit-by-rule the operator shall
obtain a permit, undergoing review under
10 CSR 10-6.060.

EPA Analysis:  The revision to section (3) General Provisions are administrative in nature and do not affect the stringency of the SIP. A description of each revision in this section is as follows:

 Section (3)(B)1.A. : This revision removes the words "Volatile Organic Compounds" and adds the acronym, "VOC".

Section (3)(B) 2. : This revision in the second sentence of (3)(B)2. removes the word, "cremation", adds the word, "incineration" and removes the words, "disposal of".

Please note: Section (3)(B)2. and (3)(B)2.A. below are the previously submitted revisions that included the language to allow illegal, and waste pharmaceutical drugs to be burned. EPA's final rulemaking dated, June 2, 2021, did a partial approval of that SIP action and did not approve the language in Section (3)(B)2. and (3)(B)2.A. (86 FR 29517). Note that the above revision completely removes this language from the rule. This is also mentioned in the proposed rulemaking for this revision which is part of this docket.
2. Crematories and animal incinerators. Any crematory or
animal incinerator that is used solely for the cremation burns
for disposal ninety percent (90%) or more by weight (on a
calendar quarter basis and excluding the weight of auxiliary
fuel and combustion air) of human remains, disposal of human
pathological wastes, or animal carcasses and operates in
compliance with the following conditions is permitted under this
rule:

A. The materials to be disposed of shall be are limited
to noninfectious human materials removed during surgery, labor
and delivery, autopsy, or biopsy including body parts, tissues
and fetuses, organs, bulk blood and body fluids, blood or tissue
laboratory specimens; and other noninfectious anatomical remains
or animal carcasses in whole or in part. Illegal and waste
pharmaceutical drugs may also be burned for disposal provided
they constitute less than ten percent (10%) by weight (on a
calendar quarter basis and excluding the weight of auxiliary
fuel and combustion air). The owner or operator shall minimize
the amount of packaging fed to the incinerator, particularly
plastic containing chlorine. The incinerators shall not be used
to dispose of other non-biological medical wastes including, but
not limited to, sharps, rubber gloves, intravenous bags, tubing,
and metal parts;

Section (3) (B) 3. D. III. : This revision removes the reference of "(12)(J)" and adds the reference of "(5)(F)6.A." to the rule 10 CSR 10-6.060.

Section (3) (B) 3. E. : In the last sentence of subsection E., this revision removes the word, "services" and adds the word, "devices".

Rule continues-

(4) Reporting and Record Keeping. In addition to the original
notification required by paragraph (3)(A)2. of this rule,
operators shall maintain records containing sufficient
information to demonstrate compliance with all applicable
permit-by-rule requirements as specified in subsection (3)(B) of
this rule. These records shall be maintained at the
installation for a minimum of five (5) years, and made
immediately available to inspectors upon their request.
Operators shall also report to the Air Pollution Control
Program, no later than ten (10) days after the end of the month
during which the operation exceeded any of the permit-by-rule
conditions.

(5) Test Methods. (Not Applicable)

Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets in Submitted
Coachella Valley 8-hour Ozone Early Progress Plan for Transportation
Conformity Purposes; California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Adequacy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that the Agency
has found that the motor vehicle emissions budgets for 8-hour ozone in
the Coachella Valley 8-hour Ozone Early Progress Plan are adequate for
transportation conformity purposes. The Coachella Valley 8-hour Ozone
Early Progress Plan was submitted to EPA on March 24, 2008 by the
California Air Resources Board as a revision to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). As a result of our adequacy findings, the
Southern California Association of Governments and the U.S. Department
of Transportation must use these budgets in future conformity analyses
once the finding becomes effective.

DATES: This finding is effective May 22, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rebecca Rosen, U.S. EPA, Region IX,
Air Division AIR-2, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901;
(415) 947-4154 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.
    Today's notice is simply an announcement of a finding that we have
already made. EPA Region IX sent a letter to the California Air
Resources Board on April 16, 2008 stating that the motor vehicle
emissions budgets in the submitted Coachella Valley 8-hour Ozone Early
Progress Plan for 2012 are adequate. The finding is available at EPA's
conformity Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otag/stateresources/transconf/
adequacy.htm. The adequate motor vehicle emissions budgets are provided
in the following table:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The plan uses a comparable State term, reactive organic gases (ROG).

    Transportation conformity is required by Clean Air Act section
176(c). EPA's conformity rule requires that transportation plans,
transportation improvement programs, and projects conform to state air
quality implementation plans (SIPs) and establishes the criteria and
procedures for determining whether or not they do. Conformity to a SIP
means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality
violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of
the national ambient air quality standards.
    The criteria by which we determine whether a SIP's motor vehicle
emission budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in
40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We have described our process for determining the
adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004 preamble starting
at 69 FR 40038 and we used the information in these resources in making
our adequacy determination. Please note that an adequacy review is
separate from EPA's completeness review, and should not be used to
prejudge EPA's ultimate approval action for the SIP. Even if we find a
budget adequate, the SIP could later be disapproved.
