Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Disapproved and continue	Conclusion Date: 12/04/1989
	Date Received in OIRA: 10/03/1989
Terms of Clearance: EPA has done a very good job by initiating changes to the rules governing section 12(b) notification of export chemical subject to section 5 test rules that will reduce paperwork burden. However, EPA shall consider extending the annual notification (rather then per transaction) to chemicals subject to section 4 (i.e. SNURs), as well. In addition, EPA should adopt, or justifiy why it is not feasible to adopt, a de minimus concentration exemption for export chemicals. Thu OMB is not approving this ICR under 5 CFR 1320 because the collection is not the least burdensome necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions. When the information collection in the final rule are submitted f PRA review, EPA shall place the OMB comment number 2070-0030 in item 2 on the SF 83. OMB is not providing an approval number at this time.
