APPROVED THROUGH
MARCH, 1982. CONDITIONS OF CLEARANCE: OMB'S REVIEW REVEALED TWO
PROBLEMS WITH NEDS. THE ESTIMATES OF BURDEN INCLUDE ONLY THE HOURS
SPENT IN ENTERING DATA ON THE APPROVED FORM, AND NOT THE FAR
GREATER BURDEN OF COLLECTING, PROCESSING, AND MAINTAINING THE DATA.
SECOND, THE NEDS DATA ARE OFTEN INCOMPLETE, OUT-OF-DATE, OR OF LOW
QUALITY. DURING THE ONE-YEAR APPROVAL PERIOD, OMB WILL WORK WITH
EPA TO IMPROVE BURDEN ESTIMATES AND DATA COMPLETENESS.
