The
justification statement accompanying this package does not
adequately describe what the information to be collected is, nor
exact how it will be used. The statement also fails to explain how
the burd estimate was arrived at, and why there is such a
significant increase burden. This request is therefore approved for
90 days to allow EPA time to reconstruct the request package.
