Title: 1987 HAZARDOUS WASTE BIENNIAL REPORTING SYSTEM
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 02/23/1988
	Date Received in OIRA: 01/07/1988
Terms of Clearance: This survey can be significantly improved. Five pages of general and specific questions (see "Biennial Report Questions" in the OMB Docket room file) concerning the 1987 cycle were addressed in a February 17, 1988 meeting with EPA. Many of the changes these questions suggest could not be made because of administrative systems that are already in place and cannot be modified (without great expense). As a result, OMB review of this collection has been largely frustrated and changes must be put off until the 1989 cycle. . EPA has committed to involving OMB in the creation of the 1989 form. In the future, OMB will not allow effective review of an information collection to be pre-empted because of administrative commitments. EPA must bear the cost of altering information collections that place an inappropriate burden on respondents. The "Questions" mentioned above should provide a starting point for OMB review of the 1989 cycle. .
