Abstract:
RCRA requires large quantity hazardous waste generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) to submit a report every other year (the Biennial Report) on the quantity, composition, and disposition of hazardous wastes they generate or receive for treatment, storage, or disposal. To implement these provisions, EPA issued the Biennial Report regulations, found in 40 CFR 262.41, 264.75, and 265.75. Generators and TSDFs must submit the Biennial Report forms by March 1 of every even numbered year for their hazardous waste activities in the previous (odd numbered) year. Through the Biennial Report forms and instructions, EPA tells generators and TSDFs what information they must provide.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The decrease in respondent burden for Notification of Regulated Waste Activity has occurred for two primary reasons. First, there was a decrease in the estimated total number of notifications under RCRA Section 3010; 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C; and 40 CFR Part 279. Second, the burden associated with the notification activities decreased because of adjustments made to the hourly burden estimates for the Site ID Form. The decrease in annual respondent burden estimate for the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report has occurred for two primary reasons. First, there was a decrease in the annualized number of respondents, from 12,619 projected for 2007 to 8,242 projected for 2009. Second, there was a decrease in the number of Hazardous Waste Report forms projected for 2007 versus the number of forms projected for 2009. The decrease in burden annual State agency burden estimate for the 2007 Hazardous Waste Report has occurred because there was a decrease in the number of respondents and Hazardous Waste Report forms projected for 2007 versus the number of forms projected for 2009.
