RCRA section 3004(g)(10), as amended
by the Land Disopsal Program Flexibility Act of 1996, requires EPA
to conduct a study to characterize the risks to human health or the
environment posed by management of formerly hazardous wastes in
Clean Water Act-regulated treatment systems; to the extent the
study identifies any risks, it must also evaluate whether those
risks are adequately addressed under existing Federal or State
programs. This ICR is collecting the data necessary to these
analyses.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
