 Reasons for Change in Burden

      This request reflects a decrease of 64,519 hours (from 745,926 hours to 681,407 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory. The changes in the total annual respondent reporting and recordkeeping burdens and costs are due to updates to the most current wage rate data and to revisions to the total number of respondents. The revisions to total number of respondents are the result of new data gathered for this ICR effort, updated Agency data regarding total numbers of regulated entities, and the overlapping coverage of the recently revised Universal Hazardous Waste Manifest ICR, ICR number 0801.22. The up-to-date wage rates and the change from the previous ICR are as follows:
          Manager - new rate, $77.86; prior rate; $77.81 (less than 1 percent increase)
          Clerical - new rate, $37.76; prior rate, $30.36 (24 percent increase)
          Professional/technical - new rate, $78.33; prior rate, $64.55 (21 percent increase).

      The specific adjustments to this Consolidated ICR are explained on Tables 6-2 through 6-7 and are summarized on Table 6-11 and in the following discussion:
 Item number 3  - The number of transformers registered decreased from 318 to 30. The revised number is based on the averaged annual number of new transformer registrations received by EPA during the current ICR timeframe (2016, 2017 & 2018). This decreases the burden by 288 hours.
 Item number 5  - The number of facilities decreased from 50 to 0. The EPA Regions report making no requests in the 2016-2018 timeframe and no requests are anticipated in the ICR period.  The burden is decreased by 200 hours.
 Item number 7  - The number of items of equipment being approved for storage decreased from 225 to 0. The EPA Regions report receiving no requests in the 2016-2018 timeframe and no requests are anticipated in the ICR period.  The burden is decreased by 37 hours.
 Item number 8  - The number of applications decreased from 40 to 15 per year, based on the numbers received by EPA during the 2016-2018 timeframe.  The burden is decreased by 22,500 hours.
 Item number 16  - The number of respondents increased from 17 to 100, based on the number of applications EPA received during the most recent fiscal year, FY2017. The respondent time average decreased from 1,600 to 800 hours, as many applicants take advantage of a 61(a)/61(c) hybrid approval that only requires a risk-based determination for the non-self-implementing components of the cleanup. The burden is increased by 52,800 hours.
 Item number 17  - The number of respondents decreased from 20 to 5, based on the number of applications EPA received during FY2017. The respondent time average decreased from 1,600 to 800 hours, as many applicants take advantage of a 62(a)/62(c) hybrid approval. The burden is decreased by 28,000 hours.
 Item number 22  - The number of respondents decreased from 25 to 10, based on the number of applications (new and renewals) EPA received in FY2017. The weighted average time estimate was decreased from 240 to 188 hours to reflect the current numbers of new (3) vs. renewal (7) applications received.  The burden is decreased by 4,120 hours.
 Item number 25  - The number of respondents decreased from 12 to 3, based on the number of applications EPA received during FY2017. The burden is decreased by 1,080 hours.
 Item number 33  -   The number of respondents decreased from 20 to 10, based on the number of applications EPA received during FY2017. The time estimate decreased from 1,600 hours to 800 hours based on EPA updated best estimate of the required respondent burden hours. The burden is decreased by 24,000 hours.
 Item number 41a  - The number of respondents decreased from 45 to 0 transformers. No record requests were made by EPA in the 2016-2018 timeframe and no requests are anticipated in the pending ICR period.  The burden is decreased by 11 hours.
 Item number 46  - The number of respondents decreased from 325 to 0. This provision incorporates RCRA Universal Hazardous Waste Manifest provisions by reference. Since PCB waste is transported using the Universal Hazardous Waste Manifest, the burden for this reporting requirement is already accounted for by ICR number 0801.22. (ICR 0801.22 counts all manifests used, without distinguishing whether they are used for RCRA waste, PCB waste or combination shipments). The respondent number is set at 0 here in the PCB ICR to avoid double reporting of this burden.  The burden is decreased by 650 hours.
 Item number 49  - The number of respondents decreased from 57 to 0. Since PCB waste is transported using the Universal Hazardous Waste Manifest, the burden for this reporting requirement is already accounted for by ICR number 0801.22. The respondent number is set at 0 here in the PCB ICR to avoid double reporting of this burden.  The burden is decreased by 114 hours
 Item number 60  -  The number of respondents decreased from 57 to 0. Since PCB waste is transported using the Universal Hazardous Waste Manifest, the burden for this reporting requirement is already accounted for by ICR number 0801.22. The respondent number is set at 0 here in the PCB ICR to avoid double reporting of this burden.  The burden is decreased by 57 hours.
 Item number 65  - The number of respondents (# PCB items or containers) decreased from 93,120 to 22,297, based on the actual numbers reported being disposed of in 2015, the most recent year for which disposal statistics are available. The number is a sum of the relevant categories reported: capacitors, PCB transformers, article containers and containers.  The burden is decreased by 5,879 hours.
 Item number 67  - The number of respondents decreased from 208 to 204 based on the number of PCB-related incidents reported to the National Response Center for the period 2015-2017.  The burden is decreased by 1 hour.
 Item number 68a  - The number of respondents (reclassified transformers that are transferred to new owners) decreased from 336 to 72 units, based on EPA's estimate that 143 transformers will be reclassified during this ICR period, of which half will be transferred (unchanged current ratio).  See #75 below for additional details. The burden is decreased by 132 hours.
 Item number 69  -   The number of respondents decreased from 670 to 0. Manifests for PCB waste are already captured by the Universal Hazardous Waste Manifest ICR, ICR number 0801.22 (See #46 above); therefore, the respondent number is set at 0 in this ICR to avoid double reporting of this burden.  The burden is decreased by 700 hours.
 Item number 70  -  The number of respondents decreased from 3,434 to 0. Manifests for PCB waste are already captured by the Universal Hazardous Waste Manifest ICR, ICR number 0801.22 (See #46 above); therefore, the respondent number is set at 0 in this ICR to avoid double reporting of this burden.  The burden is decreased by 573 hours.
 Item number 71  -  The number of respondents (certificates) decreased from 4,117 to 3,695, based on an updated average of PCB Annual Report disposal data collected from 1996 to 2015.  The burden is decreased by 105 hours.
 Item number 74a  - The number of respondents (PCB Transformers) decreased from 58,457 to 12,457, based on the number of PCB Transformers (12,457) actually registered in EPA's most current inventory. EPA assumes 95% are inspected annually and not more than 5% are inspected quarterly (only Askarel units without secondary containment require more frequent inspection). The burden is decreased by 1,444 hours.
 Item number 74b  - The number of respondents (PCB Transformers inspected quarterly) decreased from 29,229 to 623 units.  See #74a for details.  The burden is decreased by 9,526 hours.
 Item number 74c  -  (eliminated) The number of respondents increased from -336 to 0. This sub-item was a previously used to compensate for the effects of a 2001 rule on PCB Transformer totals under 74a. It is no longer useful for estimating and has been eliminated in this ICR. The burden is increased by 28 hours (from -28 to 0).
 Item number 74d  -  (eliminated) The number of respondents increased from -336 to 0. This sub-item was a previously used to compensate for the effects of a 2001 rule on PCB Transformer totals under 74b. It is no longer useful for estimating and has been eliminated in this ICR. The burden is increased by 112 hours (from -112 to 0).
 Item number 75  - The number of respondents decreased from 672 to 143 transformers.  The number of respondents is based on the application of the past estimate of a 1.15% annual reclassification rate to the most current inventory of 12,457 identified (registered) PCB Transformers.  The burden is reduced by 132 hours.
 Item number 77  - The number of respondents decreased from 170,303 to 3,000 pieces of equipment stored for reuse, using a 2010 USWAG estimates of inventory and rates of decrease, to estimate an inventory in 2019-2020.  EPA estimates that of the projected inventory of 30,000 items remaining in use, 90% will be in active use and 10% will be stored for reuse.  The burden is decreased by 25,095 hours.
 Item number 78  - The number of respondents decreased from 100,000 to 500 large capacitors, using the 2010 USWAG estimates and USWAG comment on this ICR.  Of an estimated inventory of 5,000 PCB Large Capacitors, EPA estimates not more than 10%, or 500, will not be individually labelled and be subject to this provision.  The burden is decreased by 9,950 hours.
 Item number 79  - The number of respondents increased from 57 to 66 facilities based on most recent data in the National Report of Facilities that have Notified of PCB Activities. The burden is increased by 108 hours.
 Item number 84  - The number of respondents decreased from 88 to 75 waste storers, estimated as 1% of the total of 7,518 facilities listed in the National List of Facilities that have Notified of PCB Activity as of 2018.  The burden is decreased by 52 hours.
 Item number 89  - The number of respondents decreased from 7 to 4 facilities, based on EPA's current List of Approved Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Commercial Storage and Disposal Facilities. The burden is decreased by 2,529 hours.
 Item number 91  - The number of respondents decreased from 8 to 7 facilities, based on EPA's current List of Approved Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Commercial Storage and Disposal Facilities. The burden is decreased by 3 hours.
 Item number 92  -  The number of respondents increased from 10 to 11 facilities, based on EPA's current List of Approved Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Commercial Storage and Disposal Facilities. The burden is increased by 843 hours.
 Item number 95  - The number of respondents increased from 57 to 66 facilities, based on data in the National List of Facilities that have Notified of PCB Activity as of 2018.  The burden is increased by 108 hours.
 Item number 97  - The number of respondents decreased from 208 to 204 sets of records, based on the annual number of PCB spills reported to the National Response Center in from 2015 to 2017.  The burden is decreased by 32 hours.
 Item number 99  - The number of respondents increased from 8,6709 to 9,141 waste handlers, based on the current number of PCB waste handlers who have notified EPA, less commercial storers and disposers.  The burden is increased by 24,492 hours.
 Item number 100a  - The number of respondents decreased from 25 to 10, based on EPA records of notifications received under §761.185 since 2010.  The individual respondent burden was adjusted from 5 to 8 hours based on industry comment (Wawer, 2018). The burden is decreased by 45 hours.
 Item number 100b  -  (eliminated) The number of respondents decreased from 10 to 0. This sub-item was previously used to separately account for respondents who had ceased active monitoring but still maintained records. It is no longer useful for estimating overall burden and has been eliminated in this ICR. The burden is decreased by 50 hours.
 Item number 101  - The number of respondents decreased from 3,434 to 0. Manifests for PCB waste are already captured by the Universal Hazardous Waste Manifest ICR, ICR number 0801.22 (See #46 above); therefore, the respondent number is set at 0 in this ICR to avoid double reporting of this burden.  The burden is decreased by 573 hours.
 Item number 102  - The number of respondents decreased from 3,434 to 2,695 Certificates of Disposal, based on the estimate that the total number of CDs is an average of 20 items per manifest, applied to the total of 53,893 items disposed of per year reported to EPA in 2015 (the most recent year data is available). Note that this retention requirement is not accounted for by ICR number 0801.22.  The burden is decreased by 123 hours.
