Abstract:
EPA is now proposing to withdraw the conditional exclusion for Emission-Comparable Fuel because ECF appears to be better regarded as being a discarded material and regulated as a hazardous waste. This ICR estimates the reporting and recordkeeping burden of the proposed rule for the withdrawal of the expanded comparable fuel exclusion. This burden is exactly the same as the reduced burden due to the expanded comparable fuel exclusion calculated in ICR # 1361.12. This burden will be effective when the rule is promulgated and becomes effective sometime in 2011.

Short Statement:
This ICR has been prepared to show the paperwork burden as a result of withdrawing the comparable fuels rule. There was a negative burden associated with the expanded excluded comparable fuel rule, since the rule was deregulatory. The excluded comparable fuel is not a part of the hazardous waste universe, and so is not required to comply with the paperwork, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for hazardous wastes under RCRA. The paperwork burden associated with the withdrawal of the ECF exclusion will become effective when the rule is promulgated and becomes effective.
