OMB recognizes
that these requirements are built into existing regulations. Prior
to resubmission, EPA should cite the exact section of RCRA which
provides the authority to collect this information. Also, EPA
should reevaluate the burden hours. For example, an extimate of 12
hours per respondent to develop a post closure monitoring plan, is
extremely low. Such plans would require complex technical and
manegerial input in order to resolve the potential closure
problems. Finally, EPA should indicate clearly how each part of the
plans are used to evaluate the facility's closure procedures. OMB
retains the option to require a PRA 3504(h) submissio as per the
forthcoming regulations to implement the Paperwork Reductio
Act.
