OMB does not
approve the revisions proposed to selective enforcement auditing at
this time. Instead, we ask EPA to justify the requirement for
mandatory reporting of voluntary audits by manufacturers. We
question whether the incentives this creates improve program
implementation. If mandatory reporting reduces the incentive for
voluntary audits, this information collection would have no
practical utility and would be disapproved under the Paperwork
Reduction Act. If it would have no effect, as this ICR implies, it
is unnecessary. Please use OMB comment number 2060-0064 in
correspondence dealing with this ICR.
